Overcoming fear and embracing change – that's been the backbone of our journey here at Compounding Daily. Reflecting on our 100th episode milestone, what started as a nerve-wracking venture has blossomed into a platform for growth and connection. From those early days when speaking solo was a daunting task to where we stand now, every moment is a testament to the power of perseverance. Joined by my original co-host, Gino, we're opening the doors to our beginnings, sharing stories of friendship, personal development, and the community that has stood by us through it all. As we continue this podcasting adventure, we invite you to hear the heartfelt gratitude we express to everyone who has been part of our journey.
How do you maintain your individuality while raising a family? We explore this challenging balance with insights from friends and personal experiences. This episode opens a conversation about not losing sight of personal aspirations amidst the responsibilities of parenthood. Hear stories of those who juggle both worlds, setting examples for their children by living fulfilling lives beyond just parenting. Our talk delves into the necessity of self-acceptance and courage, pivotal for tackling procrastination and seizing new opportunities as we look to 2025 with optimism and determination.
Adding depth to our discussion, Trey—our friend and mentor—joins us, reminding us about the power of accountability and consistency in nurturing personal growth. We celebrate the unexpected connections that have enriched our lives, from opening a gym to nurturing a community. The episode highlights the role of consistency, whether in fitness, relationships, or personal endeavors, and how small, sustained efforts make a significant impact. As we close this celebratory chapter, our excitement for future collaborations remains strong, driven by the dreams that have carried us from idea to reality.

Boom, and let's just start it off as usual. Hello, hello, and welcome back everybody to Compounding Daily. I'm your host, miguel Sanchez, and this is a very, very special episode for me. I'll do my absolute best to control the tears from coming out, but, with that being said, I know that what we're getting started here today is something wonderful. That's why I got the original co-host here with me.
Speaker 2:Welcome back, Gino. I know the music's playing yeah, let's wait for this countdown to go one second boom isn't that insane, yeah so this is what everybody else is seeing, okay boom and there you go, perfect what's going's going on, man?
Speaker 3:What's up, brother, how you doing this feels surreal 100 episodes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you, right, the reason I created the show, the main reason I created the show, was mainly because I've made progress in my own personal life and I don't consider that progress special. I consider it things achievable by anybody and to be able to surround myself with high-quality people, you being one of them. When the podcast was being an idea in my mind, before I even made it a thing, you were the person I was running it through.
Speaker 3:You were the one who was helping me with the mic. We had those talks at the gym and you were like I'm thinking about doing this I don't know if I should and it was like every time you were kind of fighting yourself on doing it and, uh, literally like the last half an hour before we started this. I kind of got flashbacks to that, yeah, making every excuse to not do this before we started. But, um, yeah, 100 episodes, first live episode.
Speaker 1:Yeah, congratulations yeah, it's the first step in into, uh, a different part of the of the journey. You know what I mean, and I want to say the first year was my favorite year of the show, because it was where we were creating memories, right, it was where the conversations happening were almost more personal, you know, and, uh, it it brought us a lot closer and there was many times where I was doubting myself or the courage wasn't there, you know, and it brought us a lot closer and there was many times where I was doubting myself or the courage wasn't there. You know, to stand in front of a camera now to record the episode, the way we're recording now, in front of people at that, is something that clearly is giving me anxiety. But, regardless of the fact that we've done the work, and now as we move into year three of the podcast, you know, I'm just grateful for you.
Speaker 7:So, you had to be the first guest to be here.
Speaker 1:You know, because the second year was difficult for me, because it was the year where I made the decision, where I was like I didn't fire you, all right, but it was the the decision like I'm afraid, I mean, I'm I'm terrified of getting behind the camera alone, yeah, and not being able to provide quality.
Speaker 3:Well, that was one thing you always said of, like, I need somebody there because I can't talk for 20 minutes. Now you're talking for like an hour.
Speaker 1:You talk too much yeah.
Speaker 3:No, you've definitely grown a lot in the last couple of years. I mean, I've kind of seen the podcast evolve with you, kind of behind the scenes too, from, like you know, the stapling, the soundproofing to that extra room in your other apartment and then, like now, where you are like making reels and first live. I'm just glad to be a part of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, one of the biggest part of it. You were there unboxing the camera, setting up the microphone. I didn't know how to set up any of that, you know. So I just want to say I appreciate you and you're a big part of my life, and so you had to be the first one you know.
Speaker 3:I wasn't supposed to be the first one, by the way. Yeah, so we had a last-minute cancellation.
Speaker 1:You know literally a minute beforehand, but he's coming up next, so he's not getting away from it. That's all right, yeah, that's alright, yeah, so let's get Trey on.
Speaker 3:Alright, you're up, big guy, here we go.
Speaker 1:Uh, oh, mike, can you send the link? I believe it's on my Facebook, yeah.
Speaker 10:It's on his personal page Okie dokie, what's up, fam. How we doing, how we doing what's up, trey? What's up? What's?
Speaker 1:up. How are you?
Speaker 10:doing? We at Legacy Training Center in Middletown with my boy, miguel Sanchez.
Speaker 1:What's up, fam, how we doing all right, all right, you ready to do this, bro? Wow, I'm nervous as well, but that's okay. That's why we're here now. I'm treating this as a regular episode, and the purpose behind every episode is always the same to provide quality value, to make you, the listener, I'd like to say, I'd like to word it specifically like lead you to a place of curiosity, with the understanding that life gets better when we allow ourselves to become better by the choices that we make. Hence the name Compounding Daily, you know, and we literally would not be here where I'm sitting, where I'm physically at right now, if it wasn't for one of my best friends, my trainer, my coach, my mentor, my brother. I appreciate that, you know, and that's why you're here. I appreciate that, you know, but let's treat this like a regular episode. I know you're always loaded with questions, I know you always have things to say.
Speaker 10:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So let things to say, so let's. I don't just want this to be an appreciation episode, you know. So talk to me. What do you got?
Speaker 10:um, I don't know, I don't, I don't have anything right now oh my god, it's 2025 and it's the first of the year, yeah, uh, another year full of opportunities, uh, full of blessings, uh, just continuing to be consistent into 2025 and carrying all the things that we worked on in 2024 that's pretty much it, man. And um, continue to surround yourself with like-minded individuals, people that uh have similar goals, to continue to get better, and that's really it, man yeah, just another day.
Speaker 10:That's all it is. We got people coming in rolling in. I see family and friends. It's crazy, you know I'm on a tv show. You know it's crazy man, but um, yeah, what about you? What does 2025 look like for you?
Speaker 1:you're looking at it, man, at the moment. This is a big part of it, right? So, uh, my, my personal life is strictly focused on progression, right? I don't like the idea that as I get older, I'm slowing down. I like to think that I have more uh experience to now put out into the world and test out, and, uh, year one was getting over the fear of being judged essentially right Because you're putting words out into the world and people listen and don't make their own opinion of it.
Speaker 1:And then year two was learning how to do that by myself. Yes exactly, and I titled year three for myself the year of expansion. So my main focus for this year is to just expand on everything. It was the best year of my life and every single person in here played a big part of that, you know. So, um, moving forward, the goal is to get better yeah right the new year same me better decisions absolutely that's what I'm aiming for and right there with you, brother.
Speaker 10:just continue to do the things we did last year, but even even better, try not to go backwards. Continue to add values. Surround ourselves more with people, with like-minded individuals like ourselves.
Speaker 1:That's pretty much. It Like everybody in this room, absolutely.
Speaker 10:Absolutely, man. Anybody else want to hop on this bad boy?
Speaker 1:Yeah, this is the episode. So if there's any questions, if there's anybody who wants to say something, or I can just pick people that I know will say great things. No, yeah, you can.
Speaker 2:Come on, anyway, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4:Oh here's the angel.
Speaker 1:Oh no, Thank you for remembering the mic Even I forgot. Keep on off, baby, because it's going to make it uh difficult to hear. All right, so for for those who don't know, this is my lovely fiance hello welcome, baby, I am.
Speaker 9:I can't hear no, exactly yeah it's a different setup so it's recording. You just can't hear yourself hey, hey everyone, thanks for having me back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, welcome back.
Speaker 9:Thanks, I'm excited to be here. So I have a question what was if you could pick one out of the last 100 episodes?
Speaker 1:which one sticks out the most to you. That's a hard question.
Speaker 9:And that's a difficult one, it's a good one I don't remember the exact episode. It could be a topic too, like yeah I did.
Speaker 1:This one that comes to mind specifically was an episode where I believe it was the first time I was telling the story as to what led to me being uh with lack of better wording sick of myself and uh, it was definitely with gino and sam or, and it was an emotional episode for me. It was probably the first time I cried and I was like, oh no, I don't want to go through this, you know. So that one stands out a lot because, like uh, as you know obviously you're my fiance I'm a crier, I cry and it's not always sad, I promise, you know, and she always says what's wrong and I'm like nothing's wrong, it's just sometimes I can't, I like to just let the emotions go out, and the amount of tears I've shed in the last two years building this podcast, meeting you, meeting every single person in this room and just developing this little community, for me is something I don't take for granted.
Speaker 9:So that episode specifically stands out because the first one I cried on Got it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I do my best to not cry in front of people and I do good under pressure. You know what I mean, but sometimes it just comes out Okay.
Speaker 9:So I think my favorite episode, not that you asked but, if you had to ask me, I would say my favorite episode that I've been on. You know I've listened to all of them, obviously, but I love the one where it was me you, sarah and sam are talking about relationships. I also really love the one where it was me you and dwight.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that one was awesome. That was. That was a really good one. That's a fan favor as well and actually I was.
Speaker 9:I was like trapped in the making my own excuses kind of thing during that one because I wasn't going to boxing and dwight was like like seeing him there and like hearing him about just how he is and how he pushes people and whatnot, I was like, all right, I need to get back to boxing. So yeah, no, that was definitely a couple of my favorite moments.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, a lot of the moments were created because of you right, the studio is in our home. I wouldn't be here without the amount of support that you give me. She doesn't cook all my meals. I cook for myself sometimes.
Speaker 4:I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:But she cooks a lot of them. And when I tell you that the amount of stress that is relieved when you surround yourself by the right person the most important one being the significant other you choose by your side plays a big part into the person that you become. So thank you.
Speaker 9:You're welcome, it's my pleasure, pleasure, I appreciate it, love you too. But yeah, that was my question. Do you have anything else that you want me?
Speaker 1:to no. No, I don't have anything specific in mind. Yeah, we're winging this. Yeah, a bunch of anxiety was behind me, right? I didn't expect this many people to come on to be honest with you, you know, but I'm very grateful, huh.
Speaker 9:Huh, I know no expectations yeah.
Speaker 1:I never said. That's something about me. I don't set expectations, so I could never be disappointed. Usually I'm always surprised, so it's a good trait to adapt. But unless you guys are going to volunteer, I know who I want next.
Speaker 9:Who.
Speaker 1:I want Amanda next yeah.
Speaker 9:Oh, no, I'm stepping on the cord. Okay, thank you. Oh, thanks for having me. It was a great time. Yeah, oh no, I'm stepping on the cord.
Speaker 1:Okay, thank you thanks for having me.
Speaker 9:It was a great time until next time thank you, baby you're welcome, alright, amanda yeah alright, buddy, put those on now you're getting all hot and sweaty my knees are not weak.
Speaker 1:It's okay. You control how hard you breathe onto the mic. Just don't hold it so close. Perfect Welcome.
Speaker 8:Thank you.
Speaker 1:Episode 100.
Speaker 8:Yes.
Speaker 1:Yes, so you're one of the persons that I wanted to get with the most, because you're probably one of the people I've seen change the most. Yes, so you're one of the persons that I wanted to get with the most because you're probably one of the people I've seen change the most, and I don't want to directly correlate it to the podcast because I'm sure it's not.
Speaker 8:Okay.
Speaker 1:But a big part of the podcast is people progressing through life. Yes, and if people listen to the episode that you were on and talk to the Amanda that you are now, you are not the same person. Oh, absolutely. Now you are not the same person. Oh, absolutely not, you know. So I want to talk to you about what's in plan for 2025, knowing, going into the new year, obviously a big change.
Speaker 8:Never would have expected it. Definitely new. It was definitely something that I questioned because I didn't know if I was ever going to be a mom, because I was so used to being alone or like with my friends and everything. So this was definitely a huge change because now it's not just about me. I have a stepson and then now I'm going to have another son, so it's a lot. It's a lot to deal with, but we're good, we're good we're happy, healthy.
Speaker 1:And surrounded by good people. Oh, 100%, most important thing.
Speaker 8:Oh, 100%. Everyone here has been like super supportive with chris and I and the journey that we're on, and I couldn't be more thankful for it.
Speaker 1:Yeah well, your energy is contagious. You know, like you, you you could easily start. This is why you know I'm hard on you. I'm probably I'm so hard, I'm probably one of the meanest persons in your life, but I hope you never know that it comes off. It's all, it's all. It's literally all, from a genuine place. Yeah, because I see examples every day of the excuses people make for themselves to justify their lack of effort. Yeah, you know, and knowing that you're so close into my life, I'm like I refuse to see that happening.
Speaker 8:I know and I said something to you. I was like I don't know how people work out while they're pregnant. It's so difficult. I started sending her reels of people working out and I was just like it's so difficult, like I can't breathe, I can't move, I can't bend down. But after a while I was like I was even talking to Chris about it. I was like I wish I did more when I was like pregnant instead of like being hard on myself right, like oh, today I can't go to the gym because I'm so tired, and it's true, your body like shuts down when you're pregnant. But I'm still trying to work out as much as I can, still trying to move around, take the dogs out on a walk, and that's pretty much all I can really do yeah, you're focusing on the things that you can control, exactly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you were squatting the other day that was a lot.
Speaker 8:For me that was a lot. I'm not gonna lie, because usually I would squat what like 200 and I just went down.
Speaker 1:Well, your life has changed drastically, that you literally went from prep for a powerlifting competition to becoming a mother.
Speaker 8:But now it's more motivation to actually have a powerlifting comp, because I did pull myself out because I couldn't push the weight.
Speaker 1:Of course.
Speaker 8:So it was more mental for me, not like the physical wise, it was more mental because I'm like I know what I'm capable of, was more mental because I'm like I know what I'm capable of. So now this year, having a son and even having Carson around too, I'm like I know I can prove to them that, like, even though I'm a mom, I can still go on.
Speaker 1:Well, you know, that's one of the one of those subjects that I avoided talking to for about for a very long time. Right, and Gino knows. Because, like I've told Gino, do you know what I want to talk about parents and using children as excuses. And then in my head I'm like but you're not a dad, miguel, like what do you know about being a parent? But over time, you, you, you see the examples, right, because I don't have to look far to see people saying things like you know, just wait till you have kids. And I'm in my head, I process that and I'm like so your kids, the excuse?
Speaker 1:No, and that's a sour subject for many people, a subject you know that, even my sister. Thank you for being here. I appreciate very much. You know, it's something that I spoke to my sister personally about, because, you know, now I have my lovely godson and my nephew here and I always told her I'm like listen, don't let them become the reason, because you'll never tell your children that to their face. Like you know, I was in shape and then you were born and then, you came in shape.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly. So for me to be able to have such conversations with you without getting a I don't know if I have a curse on here, but without getting a F you you know, I shouldn't be cussing you you know what I mean, Like instead of you getting that, instead of you giving that to me. You took it well and I've seen you grow from it and I appreciate your friendship more than words couldn't express. I love you.
Speaker 8:Stop it. Yeah, grow from it, and I appreciate your friendship more than words couldn't express. I love you know. Stop it, yeah. Well, even watching chris too, like um, especially being pregnant, obviously I'm home more, so, whole, get carson ready for bed.
Speaker 8:Once he's in bed, chris literally comes to the gym at 10 o'clock at night and we'll work out till midnight and some days I'm like you know what, I'm not even gonna tell him like oh, don't go know. I know it's something that he likes to do, but also he prioritizes his kid first and then he prioritizes himself. So it's like he's focused more on. Carson goes to the gym when he's in bed because I'm home and we even had to talk about it when, like Ezra's here too and I'm like how, and we also don't want to stop our lives too, because, like your wedding's next year or this year, and then a bunch of our friends are like moving on with their life yes, girl, and everyone's moving on, and I was like I don't want my kid to stop, like our lives, I want them to be included in yes so it's like if you guys want to go to a brewery or do something fun, my kid's coming along.
Speaker 1:Because I don't ever want to be like, no, I can't do that, my kids around yeah, yeah, because you're still an individual, right, if anything, uh, because, yeah, it's all in perspective, personally speaking, that's a big approach to almost everything that I speak about. Right, because if you choose to entertain the better perspective, yeah, your actions will be better, if that makes sense, you know. So, the perspective of like well, I have a child now, so therefore I can't. It's like well, I have a child now, so therefore I must.
Speaker 8:Oh, yeah, and I just talked different conversation like school and everything. I was like I don't want to like be at home all the time and not have a career, because what if things don't work out?
Speaker 1:or what if something happens.
Speaker 8:One of us can lose our job, like I, want to be able to support myself and our kids and our family together, and we talked about that too, because he's like well, we want to be financially stable where we can go on vacations with our kids yes, like we don't want to just be like I have to eliminate, but a vacation with other kids isn't bad either, you know.
Speaker 8:Oh, trust me I know I'm waiting, but it is true, it's like it gave me a whole different perspective, because it's not just him and I, it's like him and I and plus two. Yeah, and I don't want to stop my life for that. I want to like motivate them to see like, oh, mom's actually doing it, like she's trying her best.
Speaker 1:She's setting the example.
Speaker 8:Dad's doing it, he's motivated, he's still working out and prioritizing his health too. Yeah, so it's one of those those because I have so many friends that are moms that are like I can't work out, I can't eat right, like you don't get it, you're not a mom just yet and I'm like you can try to like balance that out. It's all in what you want to do and how you can gauge it with your partner pretty much yeah, and that's the right attitude, and that's what it takes, you know so all the time about it.
Speaker 1:I'm like dude. There's the conversations. Ask Chris how many times we've had the conversations about parenting and just life in general. Right, Because I believe if there's anything that I take pride in is asking the questions most people don't want to entertain. Oh, yeah, you know what I mean, and questions like the conversation we just had are the questions that lead to different decisions and now we're at that age where a lot of our friends are becoming parents too, so it's like what do we do?
Speaker 8:You've got to support each other as friends, parents and every kid's different, every relationship's different, parents are different, but it's all in how you think that you can change it together with your partner and move forward.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and we're all individuals, right. So I always tell people you walk in your own shoes and nobody knows how they fit for you. So when I tell people that you got to be healthy, they look through my profile and they see the workouts and they're like, well, I can't do that. Well, you don't have to do that. You know what I mean and everybody is different. So you got to figure out what works for you and to have a conversation with a partner like that is what will make the difference in your future oh, for sure I'm looking forward and I'm grateful to be a part of your 2025.
Speaker 8:Oh my gosh I can't wait to bring him to your show. We're making little onesies for him no way no, I swear to god, team miguel, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1:he's gonna represent you're gonna put a little bicep on him.
Speaker 8:Oh for sure, I swear to god we will no joke, but no, I'm excited and I'm excited to see where you and Juliana go together and as individuals I told you that the other night, and just everyone here too seeing like how everyone's progressed in their relationships and as individuals. It's beautiful to see. I think we have a good core friendship going on in here. I love it and then this one too.
Speaker 1:All right, Well, I appreciate you being here physically. Thank you for being a part of this. All right, well, I appreciate you being here physically. Thank you for being a part of this. It means a lot. Thank you for not having the scaries. I had the scaries just getting on here. Oh, I knew you were going to ask me questions.
Speaker 8:Are you came prepared? Okay, good, don't worry.
Speaker 7:I had a big latte.
Speaker 1:Well, thank you, of course, Huh.
Speaker 8:Who's the next one you want to get on?
Speaker 1:on, get on, come on, let's go. It's okay, all right, sean, just keep one off, because they're so good you don't hear anything. You know, that's what I did. Yeah, that's perfect, all right.
Speaker 6:Talk to me 100, man, thank you.
Speaker 1:I appreciate it. Thank you for being here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, flies by, and I guess the one thing I was thinking about while you guys were all talking was like just consistency. You know, every week, one episode at a time, you're at 100.
Speaker 1:Don't make me cry.
Speaker 2:No, my heart races sometimes, but you're very passionate. You're very passionate, and the one thing I wanted to ask you on here was about recapping 2024 and going into 2025. What is the one thing you thought you needed in 2024, and what is it that you actually needed in 2024?
Speaker 1:Damn. That's a good question, so. So what I thought I needed was elimination of vices. I'll start with that. I thought that in order for me to become better, I had to start eliminating things in my life that I was doing, things that might have been hindering me personally, and some of those things are personal. You know, we all have our inner battles and everything.
Speaker 1:And a shift happened because by I want to say by like March May, by, I want to say by like March May May timeframe, I was battling that side of myself so much that it got to a point where it was like you're not winning, you keep regressing backwards.
Speaker 1:You know, because I always tell people what you see on social media is what I allow you to see. But, believe me, I'm human, I'm tired, I'm exhausted, just like everybody. And when I, what I actually needed was acceptance. This is who, who you are, this is part of who you are. So the sooner you accept it, the less time you're wasting battling it. So I just let myself exist and that's not meant to sound deep and, you know, psychological in any way, but it's just my own internal. You know, when you look in the mirror and there are things you're not happy with right, but some things are just there to be, and sometimes those things are not physically. They might be a little bit more mentally. And sometimes you're trying so hard to get things in order that you're hindering the progress instead of just letting things exist as they are, accepting them as your reality and moving forward from there. That's the answer to that difficult question.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was right out quick.
Speaker 1:Thank you here.
Speaker 2:Let me put my script away, you know what do you, what do you think you need going into 2025?
Speaker 1:um, what I need is, as crazy as it sounds, I need a little more courage. Right, there's just things I procrastinate. Ask juliana. She's right, there's just things I procrastinate. Ask Juliana, she's the number one witness of everything. I procrastinate and I'm consistent with certain things, but I know what is required of me to move forward. I see it, I know it and I see the time invested and I'm just like I'm not ready for that. Right, I accept that, but I know that. Okay, here's another year. Are you still going to entertain the same conversations? And this year I don't intend to entertain them so much. This year I plan on.
Speaker 1:This is a big part of it. Like, when I tell you that the room is full the way that it is right now, it's more than I expected, more than I could have even imagined, because I just never thought that I would be here to begin with. So when I set up this, people have been placed in my life because of who I am and I say that very purposefully. Right, because I have Mike here, my producer, and I literally met him through. I met him here through Legacy, no-transcript, and literally a lot of these people are because of that, and I don't believe in coincidences. You know, I believe that everything happens for a reason, and when I've been focusing on my goal for the last, going now on three years, I always look for signs.
Speaker 1:And when people are placed in my life like you, you know the wonderful episode we had, the conversations we've had aren't just me telling you to get better, as me learning from you and your experience right, and then I get to share that with the listeners, and then I get to share that with the people in my life who might care about, and then, because of you going through your difficulties and becoming better, I became better, they become better, and that is the essence of what I want to continue going.
Speaker 1:You know, because, if I want to expand on that, I got to be a little bit more courageous. If anything, I got to be able to do the things that I don't want to do, like click, live on social media and and actually be in front of an audience and do those sort of things. So, yeah, I ask you the same question moving into 2025, because the other said I bust your balls too, just like, if you know me personally, you know I'm sending you a person. Yeah, I'm sending you personal dms like what are you doing about your life?
Speaker 2:you know. So I've reached out from time to time. Like one thing I was thinking of was, uh, after I'd opened uh the gym, I went mia because like my life changed so fast, like I was in a career of 10 years and like I think it was a day or two after we recorded the last episode I was, I was let go of my job and I thought I was going to retire at this place, and I loved it so much but at the end of the day, I didn't love what I was doing anymore.
Speaker 2:So, you know, I'm trying to like get my head wrapped around everything. I opened a gym, started my own consulting business and I thought in 2024, I just needed more money Cause, like you know, financial securities. Well, what am I going to do? So I'm just grinding, working 80 hours a week, and what I actually needed was that time freedom that allowed me to go from working 80 hours a week to working as my own self-employed, like 20 30 hours a week, taking it easy. Yeah, just like I got real dialed in. I remember last time I messaged you on Instagram and I was like dude, I'm like highest I've ever been in weight, and you asked me, like what are you going to do about it? Yeah, and I'm at the lowest right now in weight that I've been since January 2023. Wow, and it was after that conversation. I've been, I've been locked in. So, starting in September, I started tracking every day and I was never going to track my macros and I just know that tracking is the key to success in whatever you're doing.
Speaker 2:I've learned that through watching YouTube. So I'm tracking. I'm not losing any weight in September and then October. I'm tracking every day. So I'm still winning because macros are dialed in. I'm doing it every day and Trey and I are talking. Macros are dialed in. I'm doing it every day and trey and I are talking like, yeah, you, you're not in a deficit, you've got to drop those calories. So I did and I started losing a pound a week and um. Now I'm tracking and my macros are dialed in and I'm hitting the gym three to four times a week and um. But one thing that I'm going to 2025 with is that every time I go all in on something, like I'm on it at the gym, other things suffer, like now my work.
Speaker 2:I'm only working 20 hours a week, and now I need to put more time into my work or my relationship. So 2025, I just want to go in. And 2024 was so crazy. So many abrupt changes. I just want to dial in and be consistent in a routine. I want to sleep on time, I want to eat well, well, in a routine I want to sleep on time.
Speaker 1:I want to eat well. Well, that's the hardest part, right? So, like, uh, consistency is a skill and it's just something that is built over time. And, uh, it always demotivates people, as I'm sure you're aware, when they seek an answer with an easy fix to a big problem. Because life doesn't work like that, you know.
Speaker 1:But when you understand that time, the good decisions, like you, you just went from, you knew what you had to do, and then you started doing what you had to do and now you just had to play the patience game. You're like all right, I gotta do this every day, consistently, without stopping, and eventually I might see the progress I want, right. But if you do that long enough, you forget about the progress and you start seeing the lifestyle change. When I tell you that I salivate at the thought of mcdonald's, I do right, but then I think of going and then I eat it and then I feel like shit and I'm like why did I just do that to myself? You know what I mean, and there was a point where I could still enjoy it.
Speaker 1:But you eventually get past the threshold and that's not just diet wise, that's life wise. So you've set the goal right and eventually you'll. You'll be so good at macros that you're not tracking it anymore. You just look at a plate and you're like I know, this is a healthy plate. You see the protein, the carbs and the fats and now you can focus more time on your business, on your, on your other journeys that you're on. You get what I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, man yeah, because I mean it's like you build a habit you say, 90 days to build a habit, and once it becomes like brushing your teeth, and that's, that's kind of where I'm at. But I'm going to keep tracking, I'm going to keep going and doing it. That way it doesn't be. Yeah, I want to get to the point where it's not work and I can start focusing on doing other things.
Speaker 1:Yes, I'm focused on yeah, well, you know, a big part of, uh, a big part of doing things like this is that it puts you in the place of accountability, because there's one thing that I am not, and it's a liar. So what? That's why, when I tell people that, when I, if I'm live, or if I'm in front of people, or if I have a big goal that I'm setting for myself, I tell a lot of people in my life because now I'm getting a lot of like didn't you say you were going to do that? And I don't want to have that conversation, you know. So accountability plays a big part, and know that you are part of this community and I appreciate you for everything that you are, and I mean that.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, alright, who's next?
Speaker 1:come here, come here, I'll introduce you before we do a full episode. Come on, yeah, come on. Thank you. Always a pleasure, sean. Welcome, brother, just keep one off and then just speak into the microphone.
Speaker 1:Perfect, where do I even begin with you? Most of you don't know him personally, but this is the guy who's been keeping me clean for over 10 years now. This is my barber, right, you know so when I tell you that the friendship that we've built over a decade has been, you know, some people say, though, you just go and get a haircut, and now, for me, it was more of a therapy session, and I can't tell you how many times I've vented to this man as Fat Miguel, as Skinny Miguel. A few years ago, he braided my hair. Yeah, exactly, you know.
Speaker 1:So if there's anybody who's seen the journey, the development, and who has had a huge, huge, huge influence in my life, not just because of your words, but because of who you've become, which I'll say for a full episode because you're gonna be on, you know, um, it's, it's more than I can express in words, so I have to get you on here and, if I'm sorry, to put you on the spot. You know, I don't expect much words if you don't want to say much, but I had to let my, my community know how much you mean to me and the part that you've played, so so, oh, and his name's Danny, not just the barber, I'm sorry. Yeah, danny the barber, what's up, brother? I know, I know, and you've been doing that for years, literally, literally, because when I look good, I feel good, and he is the reason that I feel good. I got a little bit of no, you know, you look like today, the reason that I feel good. You know, yeah, no, this is me, you know.
Speaker 1:But yeah, I'll leave it at that because I know I could saw the hesitation getting on. I know I know now hold the mic, please, your growth is tremendous.
Speaker 5:I done seen, like you said, every phase of you and to see who you become, who you're working towards to be today, is like an amazing transformation, because in the barbershop most people think a barber is just a barber and, to be honest, we watch people grow from all sorts of aspects of life. I got kids that I've been cutting in here since they were six years old.
Speaker 5:And they're pretty much right now. I got a kid who's in college playing college basketball. I've been seeing him since he was a kid that wouldn't want to stay staring at, stay still in my chair at all, and now he's playing college ball and I look at him. I'm like I've been kind of here that long. You know, his dad is like I don't know what's up. He doesn't want to go nowhere, he don't want to get a haircut. I know it has to be by you and then he'll call me Can you fit me in D? Can you do this? Can you do that? I'm like, all right, cool. You know, it becomes a thing that, like you feel like you let him down Because you're growing up in your chair.
Speaker 5:But then, seeing Miguel's face of when I came out from a certain situation and I come back and I see Miguel in my life, and then he's like, oh, I remember you cut my hair before. I'm like, nah, he's like nah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, alright, cool, I cut his hair. I'm thinking that's the last time I'm going to see him, because then, as time goes on, I see him in the phase of like working for somebody and then going into starting his own little company and then going on to the phase of the situation where he's just like, alright, cool, I don't know where I want to be at in life, and always talk to me. I'm always getting my advice. Then I come to see them, I'm like, yeah, I think I'm tired of everything I'm doing. I'm about to go to the gym. I'm like, all right, cool. You usually hear that type of stuff and then people give up after a little bit. Then it's like wait a minute, bro, you're juicing, bro, get out of here.
Speaker 1:How does this?
Speaker 5:happen. It didn't happen overnight. But you start looking at them like, all right, cool. It got to the point where even he started bringing more positivity and I'm always telling him I want to go back to the gym, I want to get back into the gym, I want to get back to the gym. Then he brings Trey along. I'm telling Trey the same story. I'm like, all right, cool, I'm looking at America, I'm working in front of a mirror all day. I'm like, no, I got to do this. Finally I gave in. Then I start visiting these guys and then like just your words of inspiration and sometimes talking to Trey and talking to you like actually encouraged me to actually start changing myself a little bit of like, even trying to eat healthy as I can, which is hard to do as a barber.
Speaker 5:I'm not gonna lie to you yeah but at least I'd wake up at 5 30 in the morning as much as I can to go to the gym. Just start the phase of just getting up and doing it. And that's the hardest thing to do is to get up and do something Because at least you can look in the mirror and say you tried. So the impact that you played on me is just as much as I played on you, so just know your value as well.
Speaker 1:I appreciate that, brother. Thank you so much, seriously, seriously, I appreciate it, thank you, thank you. Yeah, Anybody else? Haley, get up there, go ahead, girl. Thank you, anybody else? Okay, what time? What are we at? Okay, thank you, it's okay. Yay, haley, yay, haley, woo, thank you, hello. Yeah, because if you put them on, it becomes almost like a suction cup and it makes it difficult to hear everybody else. Do I have to hold it? No, you can adjust it. I think that's fine. First time, we'll fix everything moving forward. What's up?
Speaker 4:A lot, a lot has happened. I was on july 1st I think was my episode um a lot has changed like personally, family-wise, some tough times, um, and you know, like I've kind of fallen off where I kind of was going and what I had been doing um for good reason, for justifiable reasons.
Speaker 1:I won't put your business out there, but you know. But it was a couple months.
Speaker 4:It was hard and I remember and this is what like your podcast and just you in general mean to me is I know Sean said it, everyone has said it like consistency, motivation, watching your consistency, it definitely drills into my head. Like sometimes I'm like I do something and I'm like shit, what would Miguel think? What would Miguel say, like, what would you say to me? To like get me out of my head?
Speaker 4:And I think it was I don't know when it was it might've been October and I came over to your guys' place and we had dinner and I was like and I came over to your guys' place and we had dinner and I was like, what do I do? And then I think it was like the next day I like texted her and I was like, okay, I'm coming back to the gym and I haven't gotten back to my consistency yet, but it definitely jumpstarted me. So I think that that's really what this podcast needs to be the consistency in it. And I'm looking forward to going into this year with getting back to that and continuing to make progress, because I don't want to stop what I've been doing and all the progress I've made.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you won't because we won't allow it. Right so, like, the feeling is very mutual and I always speak about a ripple, right. A lot of motivation that keeps me consistent is conversations like this. Right so, right now we're live and there's people watching, but, as Juliana, I have a profile in my phone of messages that I save. I don't post them, they're personal for me and those are what I use as reminders when I don't want to go work out.
Speaker 1:When I don't want to work out, I mean go to work. You know, I wake up at the moment at 3.45 in the morning to go on a walk and it's only because I got to do the morning message. You know what I mean and the live hard that I'm doing and everything, but I don't want to do it 99% of the time. Ask her. She deals with the worst part of me, because when I wake up, I'm unfiltered and I wake up and I'm like fuck, I don't want to get dressed, I don't want to go, I'm tired.
Speaker 1:You know the things that I don't put out there. But then I'm reminded like Haley's watching, taylor's watching, samer's watching my mother's here she's watching, you know and I'm just like who am I showing up? As for them, you know, and the conversations we've had, both with Juliana and in private, are the conversations that I reflect on a lot, and you've gone insanely far with the journey that you started, because remember where you started, and you've regressed a little bit but, like I said, for justifiable reasons, now moving forward, because you're here, because you're surrounded by good people. You know, it's not a matter of if you're going to get back on track, it's just a matter of when, and you're already doing what you're supposed to be doing.
Speaker 4:And the community that, like you've built, like all the people that I've met through Juliana and you, um, just so motivating everyone and, um, I'm just happy to be a part of this. Met Trey and I'm in the gym, need to to get back, but just everybody here tomorrow. I'm just thankful for everyone.
Speaker 1:Well, thank you for being here.
Speaker 4:The millennial heart.
Speaker 1:So, unless you have a question, I might peanut gallery question over there. Perfect, perfect, okay, I'll be interactive and we're going to be family this year.
Speaker 4:I might peanut gallery question over there. Perfect, perfect, okay, I'll be interactive and we're going to be family this year. Yeah, okay, come on.
Speaker 1:Taylor, all right, we're coming. Okay, taylor, okay, woo. What's up? Bailey, I'm a teacher and here I am sweating. So, all right, I'm worried about you. Oh boy, oh. God what did I need that for For the phone.
Speaker 6:Oh gosh.
Speaker 9:Okay, there we go All right.
Speaker 6:so I was thinking back to our episode and I was thinking about how we talked, about how like sometimes we might not understand people's stories and like not jumping to conclusions because you had a friend and you kind of were like why is he lazy?
Speaker 6:and I don't remember the whole story yeah, I recall yeah, and I was just like, well, maybe you're not understanding his whole viewpoint and stuff like that. So it got got me thinking like, you know, the new year's coming and everything and I was just thinking about, um, what was one piece of advice that you could give somebody who, you know, wants to make a resolution, wants to start at a startup something, but you know how people kind of get scared and intimidated about something like starting out the 75 hard. It's kind of like, um, you know it's challenging.
Speaker 6:It's it's kind of like black and white you, if you don't do something, you fail, and then somebody who might be starting off might find that challenge to be intimidating and then totally like fall off the course, right. So like what would be your advice to somebody who wants to be that 1% better but might not have that start off way of like just jumping in full fledged on something that's like so strict, I guess? Yeah, kind of thing. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I would probably not start so strict, right, because, like, if you, if you found me when I was 289 and you told me about 75 hard, I would just completely dismiss it. I'd be realistic about it. You know what I mean. A big part of the story that I, that I tell people is don't try to be like anybody else. Yeah, right, because comparison is the thief of joy. And you see other people already in shape, knowing you haven't worked out. For example, you know, you see somebody already winning in business when you don't even know how to start a business, and the comparison is usually what leads people to not making that initial jump, you know. But, as you said. So what I focus on is that one percent every day. One percent isn't much in a day, right, right, I'm gonna put it progressively over time.
Speaker 1:If that's your main focus, then that starts adding up and I, I've accepted as, as bad as it sounds, I've accepted the pains, the sufferings and the sadness that I know I'm going to experience in the future. Because it's there, it's there for you, is there for me, is there for everybody. We're not getting away, you know, from life unscathed. It's there, it's there for you, it's there for me. It's there for everybody. We're not getting away from life unscathed, it's just part of it. So the sooner you accept that in order for me to get better it is proven that you don't get better by taking the easier route. I'm not saying anything crazy here, I'm saying everything that everybody knows. So the sooner you get into the mentality of like I just got to do things I don't want to do and then you got to figure out what those things are for you.
Speaker 1:Sometimes the gym isn't for you. You're a runner, you want to go run. Then that's what you do. You know, I got friends that are rock climbers. That's how they get in shape. You know what I mean. So it's all about figuring out how you can earn 1%. So at the end of the day, you're not seeking approval of others, but instead you're happy with who you are.
Speaker 1:And that's difficult for a lot of people, because most people don't know who they are or what they want. And if you don't know either of those things, you're kind of just hoping to run into it and I believe purpose isn't found. It's created by the things you experiment in. You know, I can't tell you how many times I've tried. At one point. I never pulled the trigger trigger on it, but at one point I was even uh on google looking up the things to get certified to be a trainer you know what I mean but but I never went with it, like, as I was doing, that I'm like this feels wrong for me yeah, you know what I mean, and I just never did it.
Speaker 1:Could I have been a great trainer, who knows? I don't regret it, though, but I experimented in it to know. The feeling wasn't there for me, so it was trial and error, trial and error, and I believe it was just three years ago where I started the morning messages, and they were 10 seconds long, and it was something stupid like think happy thoughts.
Speaker 9:Literally. Now they've grown into something. Yeah.
Speaker 1:And I used to always have a topic before I record and I'm looking at it anxiety. And I record like three or four before I get a good 10 seconds. And now I don't think about it. And that's not coincidence, as you know. It's just over time. I've done it long enough where I didn't get great at it, but I'm a lot better than day one. So, approaching the new year with the expectation that you're going to suck day one, but have hope and faith that if you continue showing up, you will be better how much better is dependent on the effort you put in.
Speaker 6:Yeah, but I think you also mentioned like doing something for yourself.
Speaker 1:And I think that's important.
Speaker 6:So, not doing something for somebody else or impressing somebody else, I think making sure you're doing that thing for yourself, something for somebody else or impressing somebody else.
Speaker 1:I think, making sure you're doing that thing for yourself, exactly, yeah, exactly. And because of what the thing is, it's a, it's a paradox in a sense. Right. So you, you start doing things that you don't like. Eventually, you get better at them, and as you get better at them, you start surrounding yourself with people that are doing the same thing as you. Right now. Those people are now becoming a part of your story. Not necessarily doing the exact same things, maybe, but you're all challenging yourselves in a personal way. That is allowing you to grow as an individual. But, at the end of the day, I don't want to be a copy and paste of anybody, nor do I want to see a copy and paste of me under anybody else. I want people to live for themselves, and that is a big part of what I speak about.
Speaker 6:That was my question, okay, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1:Thank you for being here and being so wonderful.
Speaker 9:Thanks for having us, yeah.
Speaker 1:Anybody else, anybody. Who. Chris is coming. Oh oh, were you working out In between sets? Welcome, thank you for being here. It's okay, that's what I'm doing right after this.
Speaker 7:Welcome.
Speaker 1:So I was doing this last week.
Speaker 7:Sorry, I'm out of breath still, sorry, so what's up, what's going on?
Speaker 1:Thank you for being here, first and foremost. I believe I sent you and Amanda a personal invitation Right to this. Yeah, and it's because you just like Amanda, right, like you guys, have played a huge part in the conversations we've had and the person that I am and the thoughts that I entertain most importantly, and you being here, I'm just, I'm just grateful for it absolutely means a lot to be here.
Speaker 1:You know, um, continue having the influence that you have on people, right? Uh, just like amanda, your energy is contagious and uh, it's, it's. It's a great thing to be a know that, to know that I'm surrounded by. I, as selfish as it sounds, I just want quality people around me and that sometimes that comes off as like I'm judging, but you got to figure out where you're going in life and what you're going to do and, most importantly, how is your presence in my life affecting me? And if it's a negative way, I just kind of don't want you around me. You know what I mean and sometimes it takes a little bit to get to know a person and I've ran into you years ago. I go to, and now now to be formally introduced and to meet the man behind the face that I've seen so many years ago.
Speaker 7:It's, it's flattering and I've become better because of you, absolutely so thank you yeah.
Speaker 1:I assume that you know all of them and you probably don't. This is, chris, everybody. I'm not good at the introductions part.
Speaker 7:Yeah, no, I know mostly all faces here, so everybody's seen around, it's great. Do I have a question? Do you have a question for me? No, you want a question.
Speaker 3:I can ask you.
Speaker 1:I could always come up with questions. Here's a good one. That's a good question. Yeah, yeah, just say it. What do you sing? Are you excited to be a new dad for the second time? But that takes away the word new because it says an experience that again.
Speaker 7:Yeah, it's a little different, it's all right you know, it's exciting, it's uh, it's a challenge here's a better question.
Speaker 1:Uh, how do you? How do you? How do you plan? I love you, tay. How do you plan on on adjusting right? Uh, do you remember the conversation I had with amanda earlier?
Speaker 7:yep, um, I don't know just thing. It's hard to say exactly.
Speaker 7:You can't plan for everything, especially when it comes to kids, because you don't know, until it happens it's the reality of it. So I try to just take it as it comes a lot of times and try to fit in what I can while still doing what I have to do first. So this is a lot of balancing, honestly. So I know I have to adjust probably my own personal time, so putting my personal stuff aside first and then kids first, and then make time for myself. So, like I should say about me coming to the gym late it's hard to come late, but I'm like what else am I going to go? So I go when I can, even though it sucks, like how you do your 4 o'clock walks. It sucks but you still do it every day.
Speaker 7:You make it work in your schedule so yes a lot for me is adjusting, just taking as it comes and doing what I can do, and maybe even doing what I don't want focusing on what you can control yeah absolutely it's hard, but it's still one of those things where it's going to happen and you know, I can either be upset by it, sit on the couch and just sulk, or I can be like, hey, I'm gonna go to gym at 11 o'clock at night.
Speaker 1:It's an hour, it's an hour and that's it is there anything you're gonna do differently with the second child?
Speaker 7:um, yes, but a lot of story kind of come to play because the first child you learn a lot about the patience part of that I would say, especially like when it comes to like, putting yourself second, which is hard for people to do in general, I feel like because you want to put yourself first, um, you want to take care of things you want to take care of, but when it comes to child, you got to put them first. Especially, be a good parent you're a crappy parent that you don't care what the kid does, but to be a good parent, it's them first, you second, and I had to learn that the hard way. Truthfully, there's times where I wasn't good, but I learned to trial and error. Okay, this is what is my priority, this is what I'm going to do, and then I'll try to fit in things I want to do within that schedule. So maybe it's playing less, uh, less video games, right?
Speaker 7:that doesn't exactly does, but you know that doesn't happen as much as it was when I was younger. But the gym comes before video games, let's say right, or before, uh, anything else. I have like little hobbies. There's certain things that I know. Hey, this one's not gonna have much attention, but I'm gonna give it what I can to this thing.
Speaker 7:So I still have that release, I guess, for me yeah the gym is a big release for me just being able to be here, move some stuff around. It makes me feel better just when I'm here doing it. Yeah, and that allows me, when I get home, to be a better parent now, because now I'm happier. So my happiness rose up on them, yeah, in my daily life too. So it's just kind of a chain effect of things.
Speaker 1:That's so tricky. That's why I ask all those questions. I'm not a parent yet. Not yet that's scary.
Speaker 7:Good on you to work. That's the thing. It's just about what you're willing to do for yourself and for them. So you already do it. You know. You know how it is. You make sacrifices with work and you gotta go to the walks early. Yeah, the gym wrap the work. You gotta still be there for juliana. You gotta take care of the cats. You gotta do. You know it's a lot, so you still make it work too. You're just gonna shift it. Your balance is your balance is going to shift when you have a kid. That's what it comes down to. So you find ways to make it work within your schedules.
Speaker 1:Well, you probably don't get this a lot, but you're doing a great job as one, right? I don't know you personally in the sense of, actually, I do know you pretty personally now.
Speaker 7:Yeah.
Speaker 1:We've had some great conversations and I hope I'm as good as you one day. No, absolutely you better bro, so keep doing what you're doing. I appreciate you, brother.
Speaker 7:Absolutely.
Speaker 1:Thank you for being here. Dude, you want to come on? No, I have as much fear as everybody here. Come on, how much time. We got Eight minutes. We're going on seven minutes, perfect, perfect. So you'll probably be the last one and then I'll get Trey back on. Yeah, hello, welcome. Thank you.
Speaker 1:So this is my sister. If you don't know her, her name's Nomaris. She goes obviously deeper than my barber because she's been longer around. You know, I was born first, so I've definitely been there.
Speaker 1:My sister, without knowing, became my first therapist and when I was going through difficulties in life and I was what I would consider uncontrollable and lacking in enthusiastic thoughts for myself, you were the one that I went to and you always guided me, and you probably see me cry more than Juliana has, which is insane. You know, and, yeah, you being here, you being a part of my life, I literally would not be here without you, because I run my fears, insecurities and doubts through you, you know, and you're always a pillar of encouragement. You know, and this episode has been more of an appreciation episode because I know I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the conversations I've had with everybody in this room. But I know I told you this before, but I'll tell you again here live in front of everybody. The conversations we've had have been the most impactful for my life, you know, and I am who I am today because of you. So I love you dearly and I look forward to what the future holds for us.
Speaker 11:Yes, it's exciting, isn't it interesting, how the roles have now reversed a little bit.
Speaker 1:I go to you now For therapy. I try my best.
Speaker 11:I'm excited that we're coming to each other. Yeah, we've definitely grown. I've seen you flourish. I've seen you fail. I've seen you flourish. You know I've seen you fail. I've seen you come back up and you know you're an example for everybody. You know, and one question that I've had is if you could come face-to-face with the Miguel that started all this right, what would you say if you had the chance?
Speaker 1:you know what would you say, if you had the chance, egotistically speaking, I'd probably say I told you and that just stems from the beginning of a journey like that. You were there, 289 pounds, neck was turning black, I was not happy, I was sad about life, you know. And to one day look in the mirror and say I have a vision of the person sitting here now, will it ever be a reality? Probably not, was the initial thought, you know. So, over time, the confidence was being built, and not confidence that I can do it per se, but confidence in that I have opportunities around me that I can do. Do it per se, but confidence in that, uh, I have opportunities around me that I could take advantage of. You know, and, um, if, if, if I was in front of fat Miguel right now, I'd just be like dude, look at what you did, you know, because nobody believes it. Nobody, nobody believes in what you can achieve until it's achieved.
Speaker 1:You know, I've had people in my life tell me like, uh, you barely made it in the military, good luck in real life. You get what I'm saying and I took that. And I'm like you know, take that, I would carry that, you know. And then, as I moved forward in life. I was proving them right, you know, because then I got out of the military, I was in shape, you know, and then everything started spiraling out of control and the conversation was just like, well, I guess they were right, this is my life, you know. So, to go from doubt to the point where I have accepted this is just who I am, this is my life, you know. To now, the person sitting next to you. If I was in front of that man, I don't know what I would say. I'd just say just look at what you've done and know that, since we're getting close to the end, I'll speak to everybody now and you can stay here for this. I'm not special in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 1:A lot of the messages that I put out is always a reminder that nothing unethical happened to me that made me who I am today. So to know that you guys listen and get inspired by my experience, know that my experience is the experience of a human being, which is what we all are. So therefore, if I can do it, you can do it, and chances are even better. And that doesn't mean you become a speaker, unless you want to be a speaker, but that means that in your own way you thrive and you give your day's purpose and you live with intention. Right, because, especially in today's world, it's so easy to get on social media and be distracted by all the negativity of life and point things out and say, well, you know, things would be better if this didn't happen. But if you just turn that perspective around, look in the mirror and say things get better when I, as an individual, get better and that's only a result of the choices you repeat over time, then life will be good for you.
Speaker 1:You know I hate to be overly happy. I'm always enthusiastic and people are like that's probably fake. There's no way he's that happy all the time, and I'm not. But I know what is required of me to get to a point of fulfillment and that comes from doing things I don't want to do, unfortunately you know. But fortunately I know that, since I've accepted that as my reality, just like all of you can hear and all of you have here, because as I look around, I literally see people whom I've met at one chapter of their life transform and become better into another chapter of their life. And it's not because of me, it's because of the decisions you chose to make and I appreciate every single one of you for being here. You know um, so we got two minutes left. Trey, get back on. Mama, I love you more than words can express. Thank you for being here. Thank you for being my first free therapist. Welcome back. How do you feel?
Speaker 1:I'm feeling phenomenal the nerves are going Wow.
Speaker 10:I can't wait for this camera to turn off. Dude, I'm sweating over there watching.
Speaker 1:I'm sweating over there watching. I just wanted to plug you in at the end, because we are literally inside of.
Speaker 3:Your gym. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there it is. That's exactly where we are, and you've given me the environment, you've given me the platform, you've given me plenty of time Of subject of conversation, based on the conversations we have.
Speaker 1:Sean literally would not be here without the efforts that you put into your own life to make this a reality and, as we move into 2025, know that this isn't the last time that Legacy and Compounding Daily will collab. I see it becoming a thing. The people in here are just filled with quality, and when you focus on surrounding yourself by good people, that the rest takes care of itself, because even in your difficult times, there's people lifting you up and encouraging you and becoming better. And legacy training center not just you. I'm sorry, trey, but legacy training center has been a huge part of that. You know, I've met a lot of people here before. It was even legacy, and the motto of legacy is making dreams a reality, and I've dreamed of this day for a very long time and you've made it possible for me.
Speaker 10:I appreciate you. I remember we did uh, I think it was like episode 50 and we just thought of the idea after the podcast and it was it was just an idea.
Speaker 10:Yeah, the fact that we actually made it happen, it's pretty nice yeah, and that's literally almost a year ago you know, uh, sean, try not to tear up because, like you talked about us and I seen the joy in your face you talk about, like man, we got to make this happen. You know what I mean. So, being able to be a part of it, allowing you to use my facility, all the people in there in this room, I love man, the all these people impacted my life so much. Man, like you know how much I feel about, how I feel about you, dude, I wouldn't be in the position I am today if it wasn't for the words of wisdom you give me on a daily basis.
Speaker 10:Like I'm a very motivation, motivated person on the daily basis. You know I, I do things every day, repeatedly. I wake up, you know normal time, as you, but, um, I'm like dang, miguel's up at 4 45 and competitive as heck. I'm like dang, I gotta get up, I gotta get out of this bed. So you motivate me all the time. Man, like I gotta keep going, miguel's going, I can't slack because I know he's gonna send me a text message. Like trey, where you at, you gotta keep going.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean yeah, so um, and this is, and this is, my trainer. Yeah, you know, I mean um, let that sink in me. I motivate you. Yeah, my coach, he takes it out on me. Just so you know, I suffer because of this man.
Speaker 10:Oh, no man, um, you've impacted my life in so many different ways, man. I've had some a phenomenal conversation with you, cried numerous times, you know, but uh, yeah, man, I love you. Dude, I'm I'm truly blessed to be able to provide you this space.
