EP025: Resilience Unleashed: Building Community, and Overcoming Adversity
What if the secret to enduring life's toughest seasons lies in the power of community and resilience? In our latest Peach Podcast episode, we embark on a journey through personal stories and shared experiences that spotlight the transformative power of resilience. Doug and Daryl open up about recent adventures, from Daryl's company appreciation day celebrating successful events to Doug's newfound strength and motivation from integrating running and weightlifting into his routine. Inspired by Josephine's 10K training, Doug shares how this change has enhanced his performance, even when biking less frequently.

Hey, hey, hey. Welcome to the Peach Podcast. Just a couple of dudes and an occasional guest breaking open topics from everyday life on purpose, energy, attitude, commitment and health. So if you're ready, listen in as we live, to learn from our losses, gain from our gratitude and laugh as we level up. Always remember, if you ever feel stuck, all you got to do is just start. Come on, let's go.
Speaker 2:Welcome back to Peach Podcast with Doug and Daryl, before we get on with the show, we just want to lean in real quick and say thank you, thank you for tuning in and listening. We also want to mention that if there's a particular episode that you think might help someone else with a breakthrough, or just help them reassess and reevaluate and move forward, break through something, please share that episode with them. And if you want to become a bigger part of this movement and help us reach more people, then please, man, share our podcast on your social media platforms, but please tag us at peach underscore podcast so that we know you're sharing man, we know who's out there and part of this journey with us. Man, we're all going through something.
Speaker 2:Everybody's going through something, trust me, and some people have gone through many things and they know what to do, and that's why we bring on people to interview once in a while to seek their wisdom, to pick apart their brains and see if we can glimpse into how to get through certain things. And some of us, man, we're about to go through something and we don't even know it. So tune in, tune in, keep tuning in and thank you again Without further ado. Let's get into the show. Daryl Gannis, where are you at and what you doing, brother, come on.
Speaker 3:I am in Roseville, my home site for work. In fact, as we were just chatting, it is our company appreciation day, which is really cool. Once a year they do a bit of an appreciation day for all the employees. I was on a couple of panels today. There's a barbecue happening today, so it's, it's great. I work for a company that really just, you know, once a year, really thanks everybody and um, kind of gets back to it. So I'm in in in town and um, you know, kind of reflecting.
Speaker 3:You know, uh, doug, uh, even though we had an amazing year and we're not done yet, we still got a lot of things. We November, december it was our last big biking event of the year that we just went through a couple of weeks ago We've got the Turkey Trot, which is Josephine's setting her new personal record for her 10K, very excited about that. You've been supporting and helping her train and we're heading into the holidays and everything else. But it's been good. It's been good, but I had a little bit of that. There's not another biking event. You know, I had that kind of little empty feeling, doug, you know, I gotta admit I don't know how. About you? What have you been up to?
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, no, no, you know, because I bike and I run and I've elevated this year, I've elevated my run training. I haven't elevated my running events, but the training while running I've elevated, especially in the last quarter of this year, just because I want it to become second nature. I want it to be something that's part of an ingrained into my lifestyle, Something I want to do. I believe there's massive benefits and because of the approach I'm taking it's you know, I'm not trying to break any time records. I'm just trying to break any time records. I'm just trying to be consistent and I got to tell you man Josephine training for her 10K and her turkey trot and she'll send us a snapshot of her watch and her run and how she feels and stuff like that. It's really inspired me and motivated me to kind of just remember why I'm doing this and why it's important to me. And so I love the fact that you know I believe you know her being around us and her being around her friend. I think it was Kelly who kind of inspired her and motivated her and called her on, called her to action, just being around those kinds of people you know you get. You're sitting there going, okay, you can't sit on the fence man. You're going to fall to one side or the other, and she fell to the side of getting into action and I'm so grateful she did, because I'm looking forward to this turkey trot. I'm not going out to bust any records this particular year, it's a year of support for me and I really want to run. I'm going to run alongside her and just encourage her and kind of lift her along the way. So I and uh and just encourage her and and uh, you know, kind of lift her along the way. So so I don't miss me. That's a long answer to your question, but the cycling right.
Speaker 2:So I did, yeah, I don't. I think I don't miss it like you do, because it's not the only thing I'm doing. You know it's, I'm, I'm dialed in. Plus, I've elevated my weightlifting game as well, um, you know, I think it's. So I'm just learning more and more about the science of uh, loading your body and and how important that is for especially longevity and so putting load on it and doing it properly and all that stuff. So you know I'm I'm super busy, but what's really great, daryl, is that when I do, cause I only been riding like once a week for the last couple months. What's really great is, because I've had all these other elements going on, that when I do go ride I feel strong, I feel great. I did the Palace Grand Fondo and I barely rode my bike to prepare for it, but for what I did I felt like I crushed it and it felt real promising and encouraging for the long term, for the long run.
Speaker 2:But that's where my head's at as far as the you know, cycling and all that stuff.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I just, um, you know I was really uh, you know it's such a great year and we're going to do a recap at the end of the year of kind of a peach podcast, peach team and everything else. But we looked at it but by far been the one of those most active years we've had and it feels like every other month we've literally had an event. So it's good. It has been nice. Doug, I've been in town for the last couple weeks and, as you know, when I'm in town I work over in Roseville. We're two to three days a week. Just, you know we had Jose on the gym. The boxing gym is literally a mile and a half away from here. So the last two weeks I've been in there three days a week, boxing in the morning, which is awesome I morning which is awesome.
Speaker 2:Uh, it was about the second on Strava. You're, you're boxing. Didn't you have a sparring Like it was like the second day, or?
Speaker 3:something Second day in there. Uh, jose put out this thing it's called OG sparring, old guys sparring on Saturday and a 35 and up. And oh man, man, I was so excited, I was like itching all week, I was like I was, you know, there and I got there. And it's so funny how you're never been more happy to go get hit in the face on a Saturday morning.
Speaker 2:And uh, so tell me about that, darrell is, are you like, uh, when you guys are sparring, are you, are you going to it Like, is it 75%, 80%, a hundred percent, what's it like?
Speaker 3:One. We're all part of the same gym so it's fun. But I'll tell you the little story one you told me, send, get pictures, and so I brought ava with ava with me. Um, yeah, I, we've been at the gym for, uh, literally as long as ava's been alive. So ava, like literally was a baby over there, so everybody knows her. So she goes, you know, a couple times a year yeah so she went there on saturday.
Speaker 3:So she was, uh, she was there with the camera. So we start off and we're warming up and I was super excited Juan was there. Juan is a guy I've known for I don't know seven, eight years and uh, we play fantasy football and uh, there were some new people there. So we got in, we all got dressed up and we got warmed up and uh, you know, juan and I were going to be sparring against each other and about a minute into it you know, you kind of take it easy there's a new coach right, that was kind of overseeing it All right. And about a minute into it he's like hey, hey, hey, guys, back off a little, back off a little.
Speaker 3:And we kind of we kind of looked at him and we just kept going. And Juan went up to him afterward after the round got over and says we know each other, we've been sparring for a while, we're on a fantasy football, and so he's like, okay, good, good, it's all, it's all good. But, um, but you know, like like a lot of things, doug it's, you can't go 50% when you're sparring, right?
Speaker 3:Can you imagine going 50% if you're writing, you know, can you, you know and everything else. So so you don't want to go. The Grand Fondo, doug. That was something new for us, right, and we've talked about it a lot afterward and I just big shout out to the organizers. They actually we sent them a couple of links, you posted and tagged them. They actually tagged our podcast in their Grand Fondo Facebook post.
Speaker 1:So I just really want to thank them.
Speaker 3:And there were some new people. We met new people. There was a group and a guy that runs a, a, a, a, basically a cycling um strength training program called dial healthy at a podcast and I listened to it and I was like, wow, local guy, podcast about cycling. It was really cool. I sent it to you and you listened to it. And um, one of our local guys that we see every once in a while from Folsom bike club and around um, you know, was on it a former MMA fighter and um Vince Murdoch, and I I've seen Vince, I've talked to him, I've seen him on Strava, but I didn't know his story and we both listened to it. I was like wow, it was so cool and that kind of got us talking about being resilient.
Speaker 3:So, Doug, talk about it it was kind of on your mind and talk about what resiliency means to you and why you want to talk about it today.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, big shout out. I don't know if Vince will ever listen to this podcast, but maybe we can get it in his hands and he can listen. But he inspired me, man. I just was listening to his story and here's this guy from, uh, the midwest who went through a lot of stuff growing up and, you know, he was a little hellion.
Speaker 2:He reminded me of myself when I was his age and he was a little hellion, always in trouble, man. He got to the trouble. He got in so much trouble that he, uh, you know, ended up getting uh, the only outlet he had for all his energy and his mischievousness was fighting. And so he got into mixed martial arts and eventually, long story short, you know got the call up to UFC and all that stuff. But he found out he had this problem with his brain, man, and I can't remember exactly what it was or how it came about, but they had to cut open his skull and get into his brain and they kind of sidelined him, man, and it was a time when and he trained hard, man, he broke through a lot of obstacles. I mean, he was getting in trouble all the time. He was, you know, just a big troublemaker. That was just his go-to for multiple reasons, which you can hear on the podcast. Maybe I'll drop that podcast link in our show notes so that people can listen to it. But Maybe I'll drop that podcast link in our show notes so that people can listen to it but ends up, you know, getting through all that stuff and finding this inner strength and this peace and this direction in this life that works for good and for great and bringing people together and community and joy. When I was listening to his story it just reminded me of just I just started hearing the word resilience Like this guy is freaking resilient man. He's just all these obstacles he had to face and then I believe, even after all, that he he got hit by a car, cycling or something like that, or wasn't a car accident or something. So you know, obstacle after obstacle, this, this kid, is just resilient and he keeps showing up and keeps putting out and, uh, it's awesome.
Speaker 2:And one of the other things that he talked about was, um, that in the cycling community for some people and I want people to lean in and listen sometimes the cycling community can come off a little snobbish, you know, like a little like high and mighty or whatever, and especially if you're an elite cyclist and I get it, man when you become an elite, anything that's your focus, that's your mindset, that's all you're focused on, you don't. You probably have very little time for multiple friendships. You probably got one or two very close friends that you go to because you just don't have the bandwidth. When you get to that level of elite and I get that it can come off a little snobbish. But Vince felt that, I guess when he was out cycling or whatever, and he wanted to do something about it and he created a bike club or a bike team or something. I don't know if it's a club or a team or what, but I think it's called enjoy or something like that. I can't remember.
Speaker 3:Enjoy cycling.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and he's got um, he's got up to like 27 different members and, uh, when we first saw him cycling now that we go back we saw him at the bike shop. There was a coffee shop outside and people would come and have coffee out there and that was the first time I saw him and I and I recognized him and I remembered man I think that's a UFC fighter and I ended up talking to him and a few other people there and he went from doing that. Actually, after listening to the podcast. He was kind of recouping after his surgery and just starting to get back in shape cycling. Over time he's created this bike club and team, I think he said there's 27 members now called enjoy cycle and that's their goal. They train, they do a lot of events and everything else, but they want to make cycling fun.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, and I love the what he said. One of the. He says one of the things he wanted to create was a safe place for people to come and be themselves and not have to worry about. You know there's going to be some competition in there, you know the guys are going to be guys or girls are going to be girls. The competitive spirit is going to be the competitive spirit and but he, you know he was really focused on, you know, creating a safe place for people to come and enjoy cycling and feel like they're part of something.
Speaker 2:So, vince, if you're listening to this podcast, man, big shout out to you. I've seen you in some group rides before. I've ridden in groups with you. I would have never known by looking at you that you had gone through this struggle, man. So massive kudos to you, brother. God bless you and just keep doing what you're doing, because it's a beautiful thing. Man. The world needs more people like um and and hopefully maybe one day daryl and I can get down and see him, because I believe he's getting back into the ring and going to be fighting pretty soon.
Speaker 1:yes, yes that's huge man.
Speaker 2:You got this big brain thing going on to make that that step. Um, so that'd be cool to go check him out and and support him, whether he knows us or not, just to know, know that he's having some impact and influence along the way. But that so to me, darrell, that resilience, I think, popped into my heart because of that. And also, you know just the season we're coming into, man. We're coming into a season where it's the end of the year. A lot of people have to man. If you haven't, I want you to look back at what you promised yourself at the beginning of the year. What changes were you going to make? How close are you? Or how much have you failed? Because that's not bad, that's all lessons and these last two months of the year, man they can really become.
Speaker 2:I used to suffer from and I had no idea this was a thing, but I used to have seasonal depression and man that's comprised of many things and for many reasons. And when I started getting healthy and started getting into action and just started taking care of myself, like a magic wand was waved over me and I no longer suffered from seasonal depression. So if seasonal depression is something you suffer with, I encourage you get into action. There's no, there's no better cure, in my opinion my personal opinion than getting into action, setting some short-term goals to finish this year strong, regardless of what you started with. Finish strong, finish strong because you have to. You have today, tomorrow's not promised, so you have today. Just make a plan, you know, write down a list of things you got to do to execute that plan and just get to it, man, just get to it.
Speaker 2:So this is this, in this season, this time of year, daryl, I really believe resilience really needs to shine. I want to talk about it, bring awareness about it, because it's just, it's something that we need right now, a lot of people need right now. We will get through this, but how we do it all depends on our focus and our mindset. So that's where I am with resilience. Have you thought?
Speaker 2:about it at all, since I brought it up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we talked about it a little bit and it's interesting At work. One of the things in the department or the group I've been in we've been through a lot of changes over a period of time and the one thing our department, in the group that I manage, we talk about grit and you know just been through a lot, but the ability for us to just pull ourselves up, execute the task. So I went and looked at, okay, resilient. Resiliency, the capacity to withstand or recover quickly from difficulties, toughness I remember you know some of our guests talked about being mentally tough. You know resilience, you know the ability to successfully adapt to stressors, maintain psychological wellbeing in the face of adversity. And when I started to look at it, a lot of it has to do with mindset, positive attitude, being adaptable, being able to overcome, being able to be persistent, and these are a lot of the things that I think overall, for the last four to five years, if I was to say what have I learned, I think I've learned how to have a better mindset, how to be more positive, how to manage more things better. So you know when I thought about it, you know, you know and I'll ask you the same question I was thinking about. Am I resilient? I don't know, but I think I work on things that make me more consistent in being able to overcome things that used to be more difficult for me, right, um, and then when, the more I read and the more we do things, Doug, there's some.
Speaker 3:When you think of Vince. Vince is an up and coming MMA fighter that was just about ready to explode and he found out he has a brain condition and needs surgery. That's real world problems. Sometimes I look at my problems and I'm like man, I have Cadillac problems. You know what I mean? I got. What am I complaining about? You know, you know, and everything else. And so when you hear different stories but one of the things that Vince related to, he said no, not everybody has, you know, has to have brain surgery, but everybody has problems in their own unique way. And he even said it really is not about the severity of the problem, of what you need to overcome. Everybody has to deal with things, and I thought that was really cool that he said that it's not. You don't have to have brain surgery to be to be resilient and to overcome obstacles, right, right, day-to-day things that are hard for you to go do, and how do you face them?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I love that. He he made, he really validated that. You know, don't compare your, your problems with his problems and his problems with yours. Whatever your, your problems are significant to you, you know they're significant to you.
Speaker 2:But the other thing, the other lens I want to put on that, though, is whatever you decide, that problem is, that's what it will be. So that's just how powerful the mind is, and I think that's how Vince was. Fortunately for him, whether he knew it or not, he had this mindset that he was going to, you know, take control of that situation. And, gosh, I got to believe that he struggled internally and had a lot of questions and doubts and fears going on. I mean, who likes to have their skull drilled open, right? I mean, you're going to feel something about that shit before it happens, and so, but you know how you approach and how you proceed through. That is huge, man. Everybody's got problems, and none of them are insignificant. They all matter to the individual. On whatever level you decide, it matters.
Speaker 2:But break it down, chunk it down, make a plan, move forward. And, man, one of the lessons I've been getting and have gotten over the last couple of years, daryl, is don't fucking get attached to an outcome. You know, just do the work, just do the work, and because the outcome you have may be really small compared to what you're going to get, you know, or vice versa, you know. So just do the work, have an idea, have a definitely have a goal, definitely have some kind of outcome you'd like to have happen. Break it down to the day-to-day basics and then start doing the work, and I think that's if you can practice making that a daily habit. I think that's how you build resilience. I don't think resilience is something we're born with, um, or maybe it is, I don't know but it's.
Speaker 3:if it is, it's something we definitely have to sharpen, we have to work at, we have to nurture, but definitely it's something that you definitely have. Um, if I look at most of the different things and um, I'll just relate to the very first time we wrote up a hill. Right, the very first piece of advice you gave me, and it was the advice that you got. You're writing up a hill and it's hard and it hurts and it's painful. Right, at some point you said it's not going to get any worse. Remember that pain you feel in your legs is not going to get any worse. It's not going to get any better either. Right, you just learn how to deal with it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you learn how to manage it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you have to build that tolerance, and I think I think that's where, when I look back and I'll, I'll ask you the same question that I just asked myself am I resilient? Where, when I look back and I'll, I'll ask you the same question that I just asked myself am I resilient? I think I am becoming more mentally tough. Things that were harder for me I'm able to manage them better. I'm able to see my way through things better. Is that resiliency? Don't know, but I think consistency and everything else, and so I really think, for me, a lot of it's consistency never giving up, always putting in the work, in, like those hourly, daily tasks that you do.
Speaker 3:Those are going to get you through. It's not going to be some social media All of a sudden, you click a button and you get rich, or something else happens and you got these cars and everything else. It's about the daily grind and that daily grind over a period of time. You look back and you see a lot of action. So but let me ask you how, how are you feeling about are? Is Doug resilient?
Speaker 2:That's a great question, you know, and and it's funny because I never thought after you and I had first talked about this topic I always think about how can I add value to people who are listening and sometimes I forget an important process in taking it inward and asking that question. So thank you for asking that question because, man, it's making me pause right now. Am I resilient? And my answer is similar to yours is I don't know if I'm resilient. I know I have hit walls. I know I have hit setbacks. I know there are some personal things I'm resilient. I know I have hit walls. I know I have hit setbacks. I know there are some personal things I'm going through in my current life that you know that I struggle with, and sometimes I don't struggle with and and you know. But I show up and I try and do the things that I want to do and and and have dreams and goals towards. And I don't do that perfectly every day, but I still do a piece of it every day. And if that's resilience, then yeah, I guess I can say I'm resilient. Does it feel good? No, it doesn't feel good. You know being courageous.
Speaker 2:Somebody told me I was listening to another podcast earlier today and he said you know what the difference between confidence and courage is? And I'm listening and waiting and waiting and the other person on the podcast said no, he said one doesn't feel good, he goes. Courage doesn't feel good, confidence feels good. You know, when you have to be courageous it's usually never something that you feel good about. And then, but confident, when you're feeling confident, you know it's a good feeling. And so I was like wow, man, that. And then I don't know why I went off that what the hell was I just saying Daryl. But but there it is, man.
Speaker 3:Hey, so it's interesting, my alarm went off this morning. I've been boxing, I from, uh, from five, 30 to about six, 30. But when you box at five, 30, right, boxing is not something, you just you walk in the door and you do. You got to get there ahead of time, you got to wrap your hands, you got to kind of warm up a little and everything Right. So I was like, okay, I'll get there at five, 20. Well, and so I finally got to where my alarm now is, at 4.10 in the morning. So 4.10 in the morning the alarm goes off. It gets me there about five. I warm up, I get pretty warm, get a little sweat on, then I box. So my alarm goes off.
Speaker 3:This morning, you know what I thought Am I resilient? I'm like I don't know. I just know I need to get up in the morning. Man, I'm like you know, I just knew I needed to take some action. And will that action lead to something that's going to make me stronger and everything else? So I'm not quite sure. Doug, same thing. It's probably not quite where the happiness, but I hope I'm being more resilient. But I think it's just like putting in the daily grind and, um, the people that I think outside I say, man, that person is resilient are the people that you can count on, the people that just do not get down on themselves and just keep going. So um yeah, so yeah, it's a. It's an interesting item.
Speaker 1:Hey.
Speaker 3:Doug, the other thing about getting up at four in the morning is, um, it's dark and it's cold and, you already mentioned it, those holidays are coming. We're in the second week of November. Yes, um, busy time of the year, happy time of the year, um, you could say. I saw a post um on Facebook and, uh, just, you know, somebody posted a friend, longtime friend, but uh, I haven't seen him in a while, back from high school, and he put a little video there recorded about looking forward to the holidays. But also, like you said, that it's sometimes it's a tough time of the year for people and I think that's true, I think you know, overall we're thinking Thanksgiving and Christmas and turkey trot and all this kind of stuff but a lot of people, I think, they struggle during the holidays right.
Speaker 3:Challenges with your health, your mental. You're eating too much, you're getting out of your routines. It gets dark, it gets cold. You maybe don't want to work out, you don't want to do these things, and it's a real, real thing. As much of it as a happy time of the year, it also is a tough time of the year.
Speaker 2:Yes, no, absolutely. And and you know what, Daryl, you said, I heard you say holidays are coming, but, man, the holidays are here. Man, we, we, we just went through Thanksgiving. Right, we just went, or not Thanksgiving, we just went through a Halloween and uh, and that's a big to do, especially at your house, man, to do, especially at your house, man, you're decorating cars and houses and all kinds of things.
Speaker 2:It's like what the hell are you doing, man? But it looks fun and I'm sure you guys are having fun. But for a lot of people, yeah, it's just like life goes through seasons. There's seasons, man. There's winter, spring, summer and fall, unless you live in a tropical area. But for most people there are seasons. And just like there's external seasons, man, there are internal seasons.
Speaker 2:And what I love about embracing that concept and owning it is that if you know there's seasons, then you can start preparing for those seasons. And if you can accept that you're in a season, then you, man, it kind of gives you a relief. But if, because if you don't, if you're in a season of like, okay, this is a time for pruning, for me this is a time to reevaluate. This is a time to assess is what I'm doing getting me where I want to go or am I off track? And when you're contemplating and kind of come and resolve with those things, you know it's going to slow you down. It's going to, you know, make it to maybe take you off course a little bit. It's going to make you doubt some things and fear some things and question some things, and that could be a season of darkness, you know. But if you know that that's part of the growth process, then you can embrace that in a way where you can start growing in your resilience, because resilience takes pressure, it takes pushback, it takes all those things to grow in your resilience. And so I like that these seasons come and I like knowing, the more I journal about myself, the more I journal about my mindset and my emotions and my physical and mental health and even financial health, the more I can see, I can start projecting and looking back and forecasting and going.
Speaker 2:Oh, this is usually a time, just like I said earlier, daryl, when you know I used to have seasonal depression. I used to get depressed around the holidays for years, man, and I had no idea like it just came. I would be happy as hell, having a great time, and then, all of a sudden man, I'd be in this funk for like several weeks or if not a couple months. Then I realized that one of the major drawbacks or one of the major pitfalls for me was my health. I was living unhealthy for a long time and when I started addressing that, it was crazy how that just kind of dissipated. It dissipated because I believe the you know the core of any type of healthy life, you know, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically and financially, you know it's the foundation is having a healthy body. And again, that's not going to solve your problems. Having a healthy body. You're still going to have problems, trust me.
Speaker 2:I think I was writing some notes earlier and said I believe most people don't want to be healthy. Actually, I think they just want to be happy. I'm going to say that again one more time. A lot of people reach out to me, daryl, because they want to lose weight or they want to, you know, increase their skill level in one area or another. And, man, through coaching, I have found that many people don't want to be healthy because when I list the work that they need to do and the sacrifices they need to make, they're like, ah, I don't know, man, they just want to be happy.
Speaker 2:And here's the crazy thing If you start getting healthy, you know, physically let's start with the physical, because that's the easiest one If you start getting healthy, you're going to have moments of happiness. And this can go all the way back to the Fuck Happiness podcast. Right, because it will be fleeting. It will be fleeting, but the cool thing is if you just start acting healthy, if you start choosing healthier foods or saying you know what, I'm going to go for a walk after dinner or I'm going to choose this instead of that, in those moments you can have, you know, moments of happiness because you're going to feel good about something you're doing, you're moving forward and so just elevating your focus, getting clear on what healthy means to you.
Speaker 2:I know I'm going down this little whole rabbit hole of health and stuff, but I think it's all tied into you know the fundamentals of resilience. It just comes back and in order to be resilient, you're going to have to start getting healthy, because it's going to be a lot of work, because you're going to get a lot of pushback. You're going to get pushback mentally, you're going to get pushback physically, you're going to get pushback spiritually and you're going to get pushback financially. Are you prepared for that? And you know starting to have a healthy lifestyle helps you get prepared for that Absolutely. It's not going to happen overnight. It's definitely not going to happen overnight, man, but it'll happen if you just stay consistent and you will become more resilient along the way.
Speaker 3:So one of the questions that we asked ourselves is okay, so what are we doing to stay focused and to be healthy during the holidays we talked about that? I was reflecting to last Sunday after painfully watching the Niners win. I mean painfully, oh my God. I mean like I think I could be a better kicker. Josephine said that she wanted to be the new place kicker for the.
Speaker 1:Niners, you got to get Ava out there, man.
Speaker 3:Yeah, ava could. The Niners won. And it was about 1.30, 2 o'clock, looked outside and it was sunny and I knew it was going to get dark in a couple hours and I said I think I'm going to go for a bike ride. About 10 minutes I'm still sitting there watching football. And Josephine said are you going to go for a bike ride? And then, as you know, my wife my wife is pretty direct, she's like go for a bike ride. She didn't even let me answer. So I said I'm going to text Eric and I text Eric. I said Eric, bike ride. He wrote back yes, right, that little reach out. And once he said that, you know, all of a sudden we ended up riding 30, I know 20, 30 miles, 35 miles up and down the bike trail is great, everything else we're talking. He said we talked about getting a better leg workout in November and December. I got home, he texts me, so it was almost like one. I you know, there's nothing wrong if I would have sat around and watch TV and it would have been fine and watch football or whatever there. But you know, I reached out to someone and man, I'll tell you what, the moment he said yes, man, I had that motivation. I did and we had a wonderful time.
Speaker 3:Not only did that, we planned out the next week workouts. That we did right. So you know you almost right now I'll be honest with you, doug, I'm always going to work out and be healthy and do these things. A little bit of motivation for myself right now, and maybe you do that when it gets dark. So guess what? I'm going to go boxing three days a week. Uh, eric put a plan. He texted us about a leg workout that we're going to go try. So you know just that community and reaching out with your friends and your family and everything else there. And that's how I'm going to. I know I'll be consistent pretty well, but I'm going to reach out. I'm not going to sit there and just because it's dark or it's cold, this kind of things. And that's what I'm doing is kind of manufacturing and scheduling, rather than, hey, I've got this race in two weeks and I'm motivated. So a little bit of manufacturing. So that's kind of what I'm doing.
Speaker 2:I love that. I love I think you know anybody listening. Man, take take a hint, write some notes and if you write down these two words, man, reach out. Because I promise you, I promise you just how quickly you said, eric replied, and how one word, yes, right, like he's internally. He didn't even realize how much he needed to just get outside and connect.
Speaker 2:And, man, there's so many people out there and again I'm going to go back and say that word seasonal depression again, or that phrase or two words or whatever it is, if this is a time of year. I promise you, if you reach out, you're going to get connected and people are going to be grateful and plans, and you might even come away with some tears, you know, because people are going through some shit right now. It's a real thing. It's a real thing. But here's the other real thing is that this is on purpose. It's necessary. We need to go through tough shit to make us more resilient. That's what helps us become more resilient, but we don't have to do it alone.
Speaker 2:So, there, I love that you're going, that you've got a plan and you've already, man, you're already doing it, cause I've saw, I saw your Strava post, that you brought your box and you were there this morning at four, 30 or some shit. I'm like, damn that, cause I know that Jim's not right next to your house. You got to get up early to get there by a certain time, so you got to drive a while and get there. So, man, kudos to you, brother, for you know you inspire me when I see that I can't. I got to tell you that my first reaction is like fuck man, I need, I need to elevate my game. This boy's getting up at the crack of dawn and and then I get back to like, no, no, no, I need to stay in my lane, I'm doing some good shit and and I just need to ass up and go do my workout. But I'll tell you what, man. That workout was hard today. I know we talked about it.
Speaker 3:We talked about. Hey, I'm super excited we got some great things coming in our future podcast. We've got the Turkey Trot. We've got a couple of guests lined up for the end of the year. I'm super excited about closing out the year right, you know, and there it's going to be cool. And, uh, you know, I um Doug, we started a podcast this year. Yes, we did. Darrell, come on every once in a while. I know we're on it, but every once in a while I go back to our bike rides. In this we're finishing out the year and that you and I are all fired up about the final podcast of the year and all these plans and everything else. It's been good. So we got to stay focused. Yes, get through, reach out to people and close out the year strong.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, yes, yes, let's close out the year strong. But speaking of closing out the year strong, daryl, I think one of the things that you and I have the blessing of being connected to is a crazy ass family man, and I just want to plant a seed that in a couple of weeks we're going to have a not this Saturday, but next Saturday we're going to have our annual it's been going on for 40 years annual Thanksgiving at my dad's house, where I currently live now in a cottage next to him. There'll be about anywhere from 40 to 60 people here over the day and it's family and family and family and friend members of families that have been coming for forever. But, daryl, I think it's going to be bomb ass dude, because we're going to, I think I would love to record, pull some family members in and just what they're grateful for for Thanksgiving and man. We'll come up with some topics and some ideas, and if anybody else can come up with some ideas, you want us to ask our crazy, beautiful, lovely family man.
