Daily Intentions Beat New Year Promises

Resolutions fade when the confetti settles, but real change doesn’t care what the calendar says. We kick off season three with a clear, practical playbook for turning intentions into outcomes: define what you want, clear the beliefs that block it, and follow the breadcrumbs—those intuitive nudges and small opportunities that show up when you start moving. Along the way, we unpack why only a tiny fraction of New Year promises stick and how to replace wishful thinking with steady, aligned action that compounds.

You’ll hear candid stories of navigating better-paying jobs, money goals, and career pivots without waiting for permission. We talk about part-time offers as stepping stones instead of setbacks, how envy leads to copy‑and‑paste goals that backfire, and why precision of words matters when you’re calling in a new reality. We dive into identity work too: stop labeling yourself as the old you and start acting like the version you’re becoming—writer, developer, founder, artist. When you change the label, you change the filter that decides which chances you notice and take.

We also share tactile ways to make your vision real: sit in the car you want, wear the “costume” of your next role, build a live vision board you can touch, and keep moving even when the path looks like ABC instead of the XYZ you imagined. Plus, we announce Lucidium World—our upcoming app—with early bird access, beta spots, and bonuses for the first wave of explorers. If you’re ready to swap ritual for results and fear for momentum, this conversation gives you the tools, mindset shifts, and simple next steps to start today.

It can. It definitely can.

Resolutions Vs Daily Intentions

SPEAKER_00 3:18

And uh it's uh it's a lot, a lot, a lot of fun. Are you ready for this show's subject?

SPEAKER_01 3:25

I'm ready for the topic.

SPEAKER_00 3:27

Do to so everybody does all these weird things, and let me explain to you. They they on Christmas we buy we buy a bunch of gifts and give them the presents instead of just doing it all year long. We we we thank veterans on Veterans Day, we think about the uh passed on on Memorial Day, we give flowers and stuff on Valentine's Day, and then we we come to the end of the year and uh we put a New Year's resolution out there to be better than a previous year, but yet we do the same thing over and over and over.

SPEAKER_01 4:02

Right.

SPEAKER_00 4:04

Rinse and repeat.

SPEAKER_01 4:06

Do the same thing ex expecting different results.

SPEAKER_00 4:09

Yes. And then you have this, you know, you you toast and you expect that you speak it into reality, and and the reality is very simple, is if you live daily with resolutions or intentions, as we call it, then New Year's resolutions are pretty mute.

SPEAKER_01 4:27

Yeah, because most of the time people are putting your resolution out there anyway, just so they can fit into the general population, like because everybody's doing it, let me just throw some shit out there, and most people don't even really have the actual desire for the intention to like okay, if it happens, it happens, if it doesn't, it doesn't. Right. Most of those intentions or resolutions hold that energy, correct? Because if it's something that you truly want by God and you're gonna make it happen, you don't wait till the end of the year or the first of the next year to set that in motion. And once you come to the place where you're creating this intention and you want it, you're going out doing whatever it takes to make that happen, whatever it is.

SPEAKER_00 5:23

Be it a job, be it money, whatever it is. Right. And and here's the other part of that is is a lot of people create res uh New Year's resolutions because of how they want to view themselves differently or they want things differently. But yet they aren't doing it throughout the year. They're only doing it on one day, and then they expect this magic miracle to happen when as soon as 1231 or 1230 or 1 o'clock in the morning, 12 o'clock in the morning hits, and the new day changes, that suddenly this resolution just happens. It's just gonna manifest, it's just gonna manifest right in front of them. They're gonna be a big thing.

SPEAKER_01 5:56

Bebity boobity boo. And your fairy goldmother with the wave of her wand, right, and it appears.

SPEAKER_00 6:04

And so, like a lot of these people, you know, like I got asked last night, um, what are my resolutions, or do I have anything I want to, you know, resolute for next year? And I was like, No. I'm happen to like my life the way it is.

SPEAKER_01 6:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:18

And and he said, nothing, really. He said, everybody does a resolution. I'm like, well, I do them daily. I talk about anything that I want to change in my life, I do it daily, and I put in not only the spiritual work and the belief work, but the human work as well.

SPEAKER_01 6:36

Right.

SPEAKER_00 6:37

It's just not accomplish it.

SPEAKER_01 6:38

Right. It's not just a spoken statement.

SPEAKER_00 6:41

That's correct.

SPEAKER_01 6:42

We do on a daily basis set our intentions. Yep. Then we clear any beliefs that pop up around that so that it's a smooth uh uh coming into fruition.

SPEAKER_00 6:56

Yep.

Belief Work And Inspired Action

SPEAKER_01 6:57

And then we do the third piece, which a lot of people forget to do. Listen, the the mechanism of creation does not look like this. Let me repeat, it does not look this way. Where you're sitting, you set an intention, and then you sit leg folded in a meditation state, waiting for it to just pop into play.

SPEAKER_00 7:22

Right.

SPEAKER_01 7:22

It does not happen that way.

SPEAKER_00 7:24

That's correct.

SPEAKER_01 7:25

You've got to have active involvement.

SPEAKER_00 7:28

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 7:28

When you set an intention and you do your belief work, the next thing that's gonna happen is you're gonna have motivated, desired nudge that's given to you intuitively by your guides, universe, whatever you're calling it.

SPEAKER_00 7:43

Right.

SPEAKER_01 7:44

Turn right here. Go to town and go to this place. There's there's inspired action that goes on all along the way to help get you in alignment with this thing that you've asked for or things. Right. If you're sitting on your butt not doing any of those action steps, or not taking any action, or making excuses as to why not to when a breadcrumb is handed to you, right? Like if somebody crosses your path and literally hands you the keys to something, and you're making up excuses as to why it's not gonna work, and so you take no action upon the very answer that was given to you. Right, eventually the universe is gonna say, Okay, why the hell are we handing you shit if you're not gonna get up off your butt and do something? Right.

SPEAKER_00 8:35

You're not gonna do anything with it.

SPEAKER_01 8:36

You've got to have some action behind the words.

SPEAKER_00 8:38

Correct. You know, I looked at some stuff up yesterday, and and only 7% of the resolutions that are made on New Year's Eve actually come to fruition. And the number one resolution is Oh, do tell. What do you think it is?

SPEAKER_01 8:53

Uh, more money.

SPEAKER_00 8:54

It isn't it is it's kind of incorporated, yes. It is a better paying job. So people got smart over the years to make their resolutions better, so they incorporated more money and a better job. And now they just put it into a better paying job of the resolution.

SPEAKER_01 9:09

And uh And it's a fine, it's a fine intention. Yeah, but if you're not doing anything, and what and so for example, on that resolution, some of the action steps may be okay, it's time to update your resume.

SPEAKER_00 9:24

Right.

SPEAKER_01 9:24

So get your butt up, go to your little handy dandy computer, update your resume, yeah, and put it out there, polished up, and then start putting it out there for the job that you want.

SPEAKER_00 9:36

That's right.

Why Most Resolutions Fail

SPEAKER_01 9:37

And and if you don't do those things and you don't put yourself out there, yeah, how can you get a better paying job?

SPEAKER_00 9:45

I was taught that in high school actually, by uh our pre my personal development teacher. He said, Um, those people that quit at overachieving are the ones that quit looking for better opportunities. And he also said this that opportunity without commitment does not go anywhere.

SPEAKER_01 10:07

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 10:08

And so uh it but that kind of falls right into the same thing is these people are making these resolutions be and they're it's not coming to wish it because A, first of all, they're not doing what you said, they're not doing the work, they're not you know declaring their beliefs behind it. And the reality is is nobody really believes it.

SPEAKER_01 10:25

Right.

SPEAKER_00 10:26

They'll put a resolution out there and they don't believe it'll come true.

SPEAKER_01 10:29

Right.

SPEAKER_00 10:29

They'll put it out there and wishful that it'll come true.

SPEAKER_02 10:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:33

You know, and the reality is is because you don't believe it, it won't come true.

SPEAKER_02 10:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:38

And so you're in a double-edged sword because if you don't see your life as a something you want to change, but yet you want to do a resolution to get something better, then why?

unknown 10:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:49

Because it's not gonna happen until you believe that it's something you want, and then you you do your intention or aka resolution, make sure your beliefs are out of the way before you do the resolution, and then you put in that human work. Do it. Go do it. You know, there was a uh a guy that used to be on TV, I can't remember, it was on some on Laugh Factory, I think. He he is he was a big uh uh big guy, really big dude, and he where he sold these shirts and it said do work. All I said is do work. And that was his l message to everybody was is without work, without you doing the work, and that includes belief, that we all that stuff. That's all work. That's human work and it will create a situation or repetitively that you will actually accompl start accomplishing your intentions and your resolutions. And so now you gotta ask yourself, why are you doing the resolution?

SPEAKER_01 11:48

Well, the first thing I would encourage everybody to do is look at the word work.

SPEAKER_00 11:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:53

And see if that definition has been brought up to speed. Because work does not mean that it you have to be exhausted and over overspread yourself, sweat, tears, all of that. Now, there are some parts and pieces of it that it may kind of feel that way at first, but if you're doing your passion, I we we are living this right now.

SPEAKER_00 12:22

Totally.

The Better Job Example: Do The Work

SPEAKER_01 12:24

If you're doing your passion, and this happened just yesterday or day before, we look up and it's already like what six o'clock in the evening. Seven o'clock in the evening, and we had been working on our individual and our individual tasks within what we do working from home now, and past time very quickly because we are doing what we the passion have passion and joy for doing, correct? And so it doesn't feel like work, and so we put in you know, a 10, 12 hour day, and before you know it, the days passed by. And so that's the key to remember is if you'll just align with what your true gut passion and desire is, and just take a chance. Yep. You know, we did a podcast that I uploaded on Tuesday about fear. Get out of that fear, take that first step towards what your true passion is. And if you're not even sure what that passion is, and you think, is this my true passion? Test it out.

SPEAKER_00 13:40

Right. Go try something different.

SPEAKER_01 13:42

Try it and see. Right. And if it's not, that's fine. At least you know.

SPEAKER_00 13:46

Right.

SPEAKER_01 13:47

And then that way it opens up a door for the next thing to come in to test. Right. It's okay. It doesn't make you a bad person. Like I get friends of ours came real quick. The our our friends that came to dinner, uh, she said the wife said, Um, guy, you guys have done so much in such a short amount of time. Yeah. We get that all the time. All the time. All the time. Yep. And it's because we put ourselves out there. We go out and we are not afraid and not hesitant to get out there.

SPEAKER_00 14:23

Do something new.

SPEAKER_01 14:24

Do it.

SPEAKER_00 14:24

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 14:25

And if it fits, it fits.

SPEAKER_00 14:26

I mean, people think would think what we're doing now is crazy. We're literally taking our life savings and we're putting it into an app and we're going all in, man.

SPEAKER_01 14:33

Yeah, we've already gone all in. But we just do it. We just jump out there and we do it. And if it fits and we ride that wave for a while, then we do. If it doesn't and we're like, eh, we tried that and we don't like it, then we get out and we move on to something else, kind of like truck driving.

SPEAKER_00 14:52

Yeah, you know, we're diving or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 14:55

We did truck driving for a while because we had a different perspective. Um, I wanted to go learn how, and I thought I could travel around the world and get paid for it.

SPEAKER_00 15:04

It ain't like that, by the way.

SPEAKER_01 15:06

It ain't like that.

SPEAKER_00 15:07

Disclosure. You don't get paid to travel because you drive a truck.

SPEAKER_01 15:10

That's right. You get paid to travel, all right. But you get to see a lot of warehouses and a lot of the not so pretty parts.

SPEAKER_00 15:17

Yep, it's pretty crazy.

SPEAKER_01 15:19

But we decided we got we had the ability to try it. We tried it, we decided it didn't work for us. So we just changed.

SPEAKER_00 15:29

Been there, been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

SPEAKER_01 15:32

Yeah. And so give yourself like flexibility. It doesn't it doesn't mean that if you jump out there and try it, that okay, this is the one thing I've got to do for the rest of my life in order to be successful.

SPEAKER_00 15:46

Right.

SPEAKER_01 15:46

You can change it tomorrow if you do it and hate it.

SPEAKER_00 15:50

That's correct.

SPEAKER_01 15:51

But if you don't ever even try, how are you gonna even know?

Commitment, Fear, And Self‑Sabotage

SPEAKER_00 15:55

Like I remember when uh I don't remember when this was. I was I was on Facebook here uh probably a year or so ago, and a guy that I went to high school with reached out to me and he's like, he said, uh, and I'm sorry if you're listening, because I know you listen to our podcast. He said, uh, what do I have to do to get the job that I want to do? And uh I said, Well, what job is it? And he told me. And he said, I wouldn't, I said, Did well did you go apply? Did you set your intentions? Did you did you identify the contrast of why you want you don't like what you're doing? And then set your intentions on what you want this job to look like?

SPEAKER_02 16:31

Right.

SPEAKER_00 16:32

And he's like, we went through all this and and then I think he sent me a message probably a week or so later, I wouldn't apply it over there. I said, Great. And uh then probably a couple days later he sent another message that said, Man, this just ain't working. I'm like, why? He said, They they hired me.

SPEAKER_01 16:52

They hired me.

SPEAKER_00 16:53

What do you mean this is not working? It's exactly what you wanted.

SPEAKER_01 16:57

Right.

SPEAKER_00 16:58

And he's like, Well, they only gave me a part-time job.

SPEAKER_01 17:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 17:02

Okay. So A, this means one of two things. One, they want to make sure that you can promise that you you know you can do what you promise. Or two, you weren't clear on your intentions and what you wanted. Exactly. And uh he's like, Well, I just don't know if I should take it. And I was like, Well, if you don't take it, you just close the door on your own intention.

SPEAKER_01 17:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:26

Because you've got to trust that everything you put in place is gonna work the way you want it to work.

unknown 17:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:32

And it just because it's how you view it to work, doesn't mean it's gonna be how it works. Right. But the door is there, the job you want is there, and they're giving you an opportunity to prove yourself.

SPEAKER_01 17:44

Yeah. You're giving yourself an opportunity to prove yourself. You you created the rabbit hole part of that little story.

SPEAKER_00 17:51

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 17:52

He, we all create our own reality. He is giving himself a tiny little opportunity to prove to himself that he can do it.

SPEAKER_00 18:04

That's right.

SPEAKER_01 18:05

Because he was unsure whether he could do the job. Right. You know, he's just giving himself an opportunity to go full time and all in, right, he created a part-time position that was half committal so he could go and try it and kind of like validate to himself, okay, I can do this.

SPEAKER_00 18:30

But now that's what that's about. So his his uh uh beef with it is now he works his full-time job and then they're offering him part-time hours to go do this job. And I said to him, I said, Are you gonna do it? I'm gonna give it get up all give up all of my days off. So are you gonna humanly commit to what you spiritually intended? What you said so if you're not gonna commit to it, you're never gonna get that position. Because you have to make a commitment to follow through with what you intended, and you have to let and trust that spirit or your higher self is gonna gain you or gain the spot that you want through their through your own commitment, because you can't do it without human action.

SPEAKER_01 19:12

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 19:12

And you can sit there and want the perfect job your entire life. You can want to you can look at other people and say, Man, I want that guy's life, or I want that girl's life. You know, I want to do this, I want to do that. But if you don't actually put the work in place, it's pointless.

SPEAKER_01 19:27

Well, yeah, you're you're gonna continue to validate within yourself I I'm I'm essentially I'm an old dog who can't learn new tricks, and I so I'm not gonna take this job because I'm in a self-sabotage freaking pattern, and I haven't convinced myself in my unconscious world that I can actually do the job. Right. And that's why he created a part-time position for himself. That's the rabbit hole part of this. Well, because you know that's a and if he doesn't go and take that part-time position, then he's gonna just validate to his little monkey mind that he can't do it and and it doesn't work out and create a this whole dumbass story, and he'll stay in the the whole dead end position he's in that he. Hate.

Envy, Precision, And Clear Intent

SPEAKER_00 20:21

So And and that you know, that's another part of it is when you're in that spot and it is dumped in your lap and then you want to stop and find the contrast in what you've just committed and what you've just intended and created and will leave the commitment out of it. And so you have to ask yourself why? Why do you do that?

SPEAKER_01 20:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:46

I am why have I intended this? And now it's put in my lap, and now I'm I'm finding the count the contrast or the reason why you don't like what you've just created.

SPEAKER_01 20:54

Right, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 20:55

And so that relies in that that turns into beliefs. You gotta find out the belief behind it. Do you believe that you can set your own intentions and get your job that you want? Do you and believe do you believe that you can actually do that job?

SPEAKER_02 21:06

Right.

SPEAKER_00 21:07

And because you know, we see it a lot, people get envious because that's another thing it said in that study last night was people set resolutions for higher or for better paying jobs, better high paying jobs.

SPEAKER_01 21:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:22

But yet you're doing it out of envy. Yeah. Because you see somebody else doing it or having this stuff, and you become envious of what they have.

SPEAKER_01 21:31

Right. And so the two things on that, and you're spot on exactly. Envy is a whole different vibration. So when you're setting intentions from one of those lower level vibrations, it can get a little wonky as to what you create. So be careful what you're asking for. Yeah. Because you'll create some weird wonkiness like a part-time position. The other thing is that the reason envy shows up is because you're looking at someone's life, you're viewing it as the perfect life, right, instead of taking the parts and pieces and saying, I want this, right, and really getting clear about what you want your life to look like, your own life. Right. You just want to like be Xerox copied into their life, right? Not knowing what they went through to get there, not knowing what the back end part of what they're having to deal with is, or what they are currently going through. Right. So then the universe says, okay, we're gonna copy and paste. Are you sure that's what you want? And you find out that shit, they're on a, I mean, they had to go through some shit to have this life. Right. Or, ooh, I don't really want this part and that part. And so I always come in, and this is when I say, precision of words, sir. You know, you've got to really be precise on what it is you're intending and what your intentions are, because just because something, it's that whole adage that goes around, don't judge a book by its cover, right? In either direction. Don't judge it as being bad, and don't judge it as being perfectly good because you have no idea what's going on behind the scenes or on the back end of things.

SPEAKER_00 23:31

You know, and that's the truth is when you're when you do a resolution or you set an intention, and then you clear your beliefs behind it before you set the intention or the resolution, and you've checked in with it, and it's what you want, and then like we see this a lot, like like for him, spirit just gave him breadcrumbs. And he's not following the breadcrumbs.

SPEAKER_02 23:50

Right.

SPEAKER_00 23:51

Because if it's truly a passion that you want to do, spirit or your higher self is going to align you with it. But you have to be willing to accept it the way the crumbs come to you.

SPEAKER_01 24:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:02

Because all it is is giving it to you the way that you need it. And like, you know, like uh uh I've heard them so many times in my life is God willingly give you what you can and what you can handle.

SPEAKER_01 24:16

Yeah.

Follow The Breadcrumbs And Nudges

SPEAKER_00 24:16

And that's exactly what's happening. And no matter what you believe in or how you believe, if you set that intention, you clear your beliefs and you put the energy in the right direction, when it comes in your way, you have to be willing to accept those breadcrumbs.

SPEAKER_01 24:30

Right, exactly. And act on them.

SPEAKER_00 24:32

Right. And especially if it's a passion, if it's a passion, it's the best way to move into your best life.

SPEAKER_01 24:39

I think the other thing to add here is, and this is only because this is how our journey goes sometimes, in embracing the weirdness about it as well. Because just because you create a story in your head of, okay, this is the thing that I've intended, I'm willing to do the work a hundred percent, but I I think, and in my story that I've created, it's gonna look like XYZ. Right. But if it comes to you looking like uh ABC, but you still end up with the same end result, you've got to be malleable enough to let ABC come and following the weirdness of it.

SPEAKER_00 25:28

Right.

SPEAKER_01 25:28

You know, if you wanted to go to town to get something and you get this nudge all of a sudden to turn left, but you normally go to this place turning right, following that nudge, because following that nudge will put you in some place in front of some person, in front of something that's gonna take and lead you to the next thing because you've set your intentions, right? It's so crazy, and so when you get to a point when you can see that and it becomes fun and intriguing, like we do it a lot of time. It happened just the other day. I was like, okay, well, when we get to the car, I don't know why, but I am being nudged to check your medication bottles, right? Yep, and you just follow it, right? I still to this day don't know why, because they were all correct and accurate. I don't know why I needed to stop and make sure that the stuff was in the bag and it was in there correctly. Yep, but I didn't question it, I just stopped and did it.

SPEAKER_00 26:43

Right, that's correct.

SPEAKER_01 26:44

Or I'll say to you, I don't know why yet, but we need to turn left here. But you'll do the same thing. You're like, I don't know why.

SPEAKER_00 26:54

I'm just going this way. I don't know why.

SPEAKER_01 26:55

I don't know why yet, but somebody something yesterday. Something's telling me to do this, and I'm like, okay, here we go.

SPEAKER_00 27:02

Or I'll I'll walk up and talk to people, and you'll be like, you'll ask me why I'm talking to them. Like, I don't know. I'll just move to.

SPEAKER_01 27:08

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:09

Because that happens a lot, actually.

SPEAKER_01 27:10

Right.

SPEAKER_00 27:11

For me a lot, especially. I just randomly will start talking to people and I don't know why.

SPEAKER_01 27:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:15

But I just follow it, and it's that's those breadcrumbs.

SPEAKER_01 27:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:19

Because there's been multiple times that those conversations turn into other things.

SPEAKER_01 27:22

That's absolutely correct.

SPEAKER_00 27:24

I mean, multiple times.

SPEAKER_01 27:25

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 27:26

You know, and so and here's another thing that's funny about those the statistics I pulled up. Is the number two is want to have more money.

SPEAKER_01 27:36

Wanna have more money.

SPEAKER_00 27:37

They would that's the number two resolution. So the number one is the higher, better paying job.

SPEAKER_01 27:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:44

And the number two is I just want to have more money.

SPEAKER_01 27:46

Right.

SPEAKER_00 27:47

And and so here's then this happens to us a lot.

SPEAKER_01 27:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:50

We, you know, we have a tendency to make things better for everybody around us.

SPEAKER_01 27:56

Yeah.

Money Goals Without Action Stall

SPEAKER_00 27:57

You know, we had that's our intention and that's how we do it. And then, you know, like for example, uh, we went to that real estate investing class in Tampa.

SPEAKER_01 28:05

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 28:07

And how many of those people actually do investing? They had this perfect class dropped in their lap lap that they had to pay for, and it was not cheap because we went to it.

SPEAKER_02 28:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 28:19

But yet they don't follow through with it. Why don't they? You know, why don't they when you're getting a breadcrumb in your life and it's something that you want, you've created a resolution to go do it, but yet you're still not just doing it. Because it's what what causes that? It's fear or other things. It could be a belief. But still, that's another part of this resolution conversation today in intention setting is if you actually done the work, like this is a this was human work. You got up, you went to the meeting, you sat through three days of meetings and classes like we did. But yet you still make a new resolution four months later that you want uh you want to you want more money, it things get dropped in your lap and you have not done anything with it. I see that a lot.

SPEAKER_01 29:06

Yep, we do because it's a fear.

SPEAKER_00 29:08

They're like, Yeah, I really want that, but do you really want it? Are you really willing to go do it no matter what the cost? Like we are with the app. Yeah. We've taken all our money, we have went into the app. We're go we are all in.

SPEAKER_01 29:20

Yep, yep.

SPEAKER_00 29:21

And in six months, it's gonna be awesome because I know it is.

SPEAKER_01 29:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:25

Actually, it's already awesome, but it's going to be I I guess it is going it is going to fulfill all of the things in my life. Like I told you this morning, 2026 is gonna be the best year that you've ever experienced.

SPEAKER_01 29:40

I'm ready. And I am ready.

SPEAKER_00 29:43

And that's just the way you have to believe I know that, I believe it within my soul. That's what's gonna be. 2026 is gonna be the best year ever.

SPEAKER_01 29:50

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 29:50

And it's gonna be the best year for me that I've ever experienced.

SPEAKER_01 29:53

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 29:54

And but I and I believe that. And I'm willing to do the work. We do the work every single day.

SPEAKER_01 29:59

We do.

SPEAKER_00 30:00

Yep. And so and but we're living our best life because we're living the dream.

SPEAKER_01 30:04

Yeah, yeah. I mean, we're we're we run into people all day long that say, Oh my gosh, I would give anything to live that way.

SPEAKER_00 30:13

Right.

SPEAKER_01 30:13

Well, then do it.

SPEAKER_00 30:14

Then do it. Then go do it. Are you scared? I mean, it's fear.

SPEAKER_01 30:18

It is, it's it's definitely fear. You remember back in the 80s and 90s? Come out of that fear and just take a leap of faith, so to speak, and just do it. Like put yourself out there, whatever that is. You know, and there's You know, we I'm sorry, let me I want to put this little nugget in there. You remember several years ago, our oldest son came to visit. And at this time he was a personal trainer and um and he was working for somebody that he worked on. He was he was a lab technician.

SPEAKER_00 30:55

Phlebotomy, right? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 30:57

Um, and he was really wanting to get into computer programming.

SPEAKER_00 31:03

Yeah, coding.

SPEAKER_01 31:04

Coding. And I guess this this has been, gosh, I don't know, five, six years now ago.

SPEAKER_00 31:12

Four years, four years, I think.

SPEAKER_01 31:13

And we had the conversation with him, and we were like, okay, because I I guess the point I'm trying to make is we teach everybody, even our own children, the same thing, and we walked him through the process, and it was like, okay, you're never gonna know if you don't put yourself out there. Right. No has not killed anybody.

SPEAKER_00 31:34

Nope.

SPEAKER_01 31:35

And go apply for the job.

SPEAKER_00 31:37

He said it'll be a good idea.

Identity Shift: Become The New You

SPEAKER_01 31:38

If you don't apply for the job, then you don't know what they're looking for, and you don't know what to tweak to be able to uh be looked at for the job. So put yourself out there and apply for the job, take the feedback, and then do something with it to uh I think this conversation was when he was thinking about going to college for that, not to get a job yet. No, he wanted to get he wanted a new job.

SPEAKER_00 32:06

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 32:06

He wanted to actually go to work for them because in his mind he was thinking he would do on-the-job training and go up the ladder of that while doing like night classes.

SPEAKER_00 32:18

Right he just graduated from college for coding actually, the what last October?

SPEAKER_01 32:23

No, in November. November? Yeah, he just graduated in uh November 11th, I believe.

SPEAKER_00 32:28

Yeah, and yeah, I remember like three days later after I had this conversation, he came and he's like, okay, I I I enrolled this morning.

SPEAKER_01 32:34

I did. I yeah, he did after we'd had that conversation. And he had well, prior to that, he went ahead and put his job application and job application out there, and he actually got uh some IT technical job.

SPEAKER_00 32:51

Right.

SPEAKER_01 32:52

And he was so surprised that he got the job. Yeah, um, you know, he had to work his way up because I think first he started at the lower end.

SPEAKER_00 33:03

Right.

SPEAKER_01 33:04

But he put himself out there is what I'm trying to get at.

SPEAKER_00 33:07

Right.

SPEAKER_01 33:07

He didn't have anything on his resume that had any past experience in that area, but he wanted to change.

SPEAKER_00 33:14

Correct.

SPEAKER_01 33:15

And we got him to a place of doing the work and then putting himself out there, applying for the jobs.

SPEAKER_00 33:23

And the and the calls late at night when he was worried about being able to actually do it when he got the job. I remember that.

SPEAKER_01 33:28

Right, because then he called us and he had two different companies wanting to give him a job. And so remember, we talked him through the different jobs and the page components and all of that, and he was like, I don't know which one to take.

SPEAKER_00 33:41

And we're like, okay, which one family meeting, yeah, let's break it down.

SPEAKER_01 33:46

And so he ended up getting a job.

SPEAKER_00 33:48

And now he's not even at the same place, he's already moved on to something else. Right. Yeah, I mean he's doing coding, but yeah, he's still living his passion, which he still loves. Like he's still talking about going back to get his master's after he just graduated. And so but he's living his passion, and his life has changed completely.

SPEAKER_01 34:05

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 34:06

It has made I don't think I've heard him say anything about finances in years.

SPEAKER_01 34:10

No, no. He's very comfortable. He uh has worked himself up to a supervisory position.

SPEAKER_00 34:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:19

Um, but the first action step was to fill out the application and put it in.

SPEAKER_00 34:24

It was a breadcrumb from a friend or something, right?

SPEAKER_01 34:27

Uh I don't really remember.

SPEAKER_00 34:28

I know he wanted to do coding and then a friend or something gave him, said, Hey, this company I work for is hired.

SPEAKER_01 34:33

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you're right.

SPEAKER_00 34:35

And then he was I remember him and I sitting on the patio and he was like, I just don't know, I can't do it yet. I can't apply for this job. I'm like, why can't you?

SPEAKER_01 34:41

I can't do that job. I don't know how.

SPEAKER_00 34:43

I remember that conversation.

SPEAKER_01 34:44

Because we had the conversation of, okay, well, did you know how to do the job you're in now when you first took it? No, they trained you, right? And he's like, Yeah. And I said, Well, I can tell you as a manager and having employees, I don't expect you to come in and know how to do the job. I am gonna teach you how to do the job.

SPEAKER_00 35:06

Right. And because I don't want you to have bad habits. Yeah, I'd almost rather have people that don't have experience.

SPEAKER_01 35:12

Right.

SPEAKER_00 35:12

And teach them how I expect it to be done.

SPEAKER_01 35:14

Yeah, and so we walked him through that part of it. Yeah, they're gonna train you how to do it.

SPEAKER_00 35:19

Yeah. Um he put himself out there, and it's been very, very successful.

SPEAKER_01 35:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:26

Because, you know, yes, and he had the human beliefs that took him to a spot where he had doubts and uh he thought he was gonna fail. And we just talked him through it, and that's the same thing you do to yourself. So when you get those breadcrumb crumbs, you have to follow through it with it. You you have to go do it, especially if it's your passion.

SPEAKER_02 35:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:42

If it's something that you truly are passionate about, and you get breadcrumbs and you don't follow them, you're doing yourself a disservice.

SPEAKER_01 35:49

Right. And then that's where the regret will come in.

SPEAKER_00 35:52

Correct. Somewhere down the road you say, Man, I wish I'd have done that.

SPEAKER_01 35:55

I wished I would have done that. Or I wished I had done this or whatever. And then you have regret.

SPEAKER_00 36:01

And that's the same thing that's the everybody talks about with us, is they always say, Well, y'all have done a lot. I live without regret. I don't regret taking chances.

SPEAKER_01 36:10

Right.

SPEAKER_00 36:10

And so because I take the chances, I don't care.

SPEAKER_01 36:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 36:13

You know, and some of the like I went to a a seminar in Dallas about um wealth, about developing personal wealth. And the guy said in the in the very beginning of the meeting, he said something that's still stuck in my head. And he said, if you look at that quarter as a quarter, then it's never gonna turn into a dollar. And he said, You have to believe that about yourself, so I'll explain it. Juicy carrot sandwich. Because I and because everybody was saying, what do you mean if you look at a quarter, it stays a quarter?

SPEAKER_01 36:50

I love it.

SPEAKER_00 36:52

And and uh so I just I carried on because I've I've actually used that. You know, I've also it's kind of that same f phrase of uh dollar waiting on a dollar or a dime waiting on a dollar or a dollar waiting on a dime. It's kind of that same thing. But if you continue to look at that as a quarter instead of that quarter can turn into something else, then you're not gonna change anything about what you want in your financial life.

unknown 37:15

Yeah.

Make It Real: Vision Into Practice

SPEAKER_00 37:16

And because that quarter today could be put into a slot machine and pulled the arm and turned into something else. You don't know. But if you look at it as just a quarter, then you're you're giving yourself a disservice. It's the same way. If you look at yourself the same way, if you look at yourself as that same quarter as a quarter, say you are the quarter, pretend and you have a passion to be something else, but yet you're looking at yourself as a quarter, you're gonna continue to stay a quarter. And that's just how people that's what people look, they expect to change, but yet they're still looking at themselves the same way, and not changing the way they look at themselves or following the breadcrumbs of life.

SPEAKER_01 37:57

Right. And so what that basically comes down to is getting to a place where you can redefine your underlying identity and not hold on to that identity and and redefine that. That's right, and then live life and act as that person, right? The new identity you lives and acts. Like here's a if you want to be an author and that's your passion, then get off of your tissue, start to write whatever it is, right? Even if you don't know the first stinking thing about it, write it down. Right. Do something, think about, and I'm I'm speaking personally, I wanted to write a book. Yep, and I wanted to be this, I wanted to be this author of content.

SPEAKER_00 38:55

Right.

SPEAKER_01 38:56

And so I says, okay, how would that aspect of me live? What would that aspect of me do on a daily basis? Well, I would guess that person would get up, they would go sit at their little writing desk, they would take their little handy dandy pen out, and they would write some shit down.

SPEAKER_00 39:18

Right.

SPEAKER_01 39:19

And so that's what I did one little step at a time. And the next thing you know, there is so much information that comes out of my little head onto a slap of paper all day, every day. It's like just opening that door, opened up a treasure trove of just information and creative ways to get it down. Now I have the podcast we do.

SPEAKER_02 39:45

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 39:46

I have my own personal blog to the edge and bag with Jenny, where I write articles. Sometimes, just like keynote speaker. Keynote speaker.

SPEAKER_00 39:55

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 39:56

Uh, you know, sometimes like yesterday, I had a topic in mind and I was writing my article so I could have some content to post. It turned into a four part thing because the information just kept coming. And now it might actually be the backbone to another book, right? And uh, you know, that. All just happened um in what I I I think I've been doing the lifestyle for about six months. Yeah. It's very quick.

SPEAKER_00 40:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:33

I do have a book published already. Yeah. So I am an author with a published content. It's so what I'm saying is take note of that version of you and what would life look like if you were living that life.

SPEAKER_00 40:54

Right. And that's the really the the big part about what you're saying is, you know, like he said, if you look at yourself as a quarter, you're never gonna be a dollar.

SPEAKER_02 41:04

Right.

SPEAKER_00 41:04

And if you look at yourself, like I used to I did this myself when we first started doing this app, and I was having to do a lot of I had to learn a whole lot about coding and stuff overnight, but I and I I don't know how many times I caught myself saying, I'm a restaurant guy.

SPEAKER_01 41:19

What am I doing this for?

SPEAKER_00 41:20

What am I doing this?

SPEAKER_01 41:21

Old dog can't learn new tricks. Right. Yeah, we had to work through all of that.

SPEAKER_00 41:25

And and then so that's what people that's where change doesn't happen.

SPEAKER_01 41:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 41:29

Is that is when you continue to label yourself the as the like I did as a restaurant guy.

SPEAKER_01 41:36

The old you.

SPEAKER_00 41:37

Yeah, as the old you, I'm not gonna ever gonna morph into the new me.

SPEAKER_01 41:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 41:41

And so and once I got past that point, you know, uh suddenly I could learn to code, I could HTML, I I did all this stuff.

SPEAKER_01 41:48

Right.

SPEAKER_00 41:48

You know, and I've learned how to how to audit videos, I've learned how to audit audio. I went through this video because I removed my label.

SPEAKER_01 41:57

Yeah.

Normalize Risk And Kill Regret

SPEAKER_00 41:58

And that's kind of another part of that resolution is if you put something out there that you want to do something different, then you have to y label yourself as that different.

SPEAKER_01 42:06

Yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_00 42:07

Until the bread crumbs of that character. And then stop and pick up those breadcrumbs and put them in your pocket.

SPEAKER_01 42:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 42:14

And go do them.

SPEAKER_01 42:15

That's right. Try it.

SPEAKER_00 42:17

Because you'll you'll find out that you're much better than you think you are.

SPEAKER_01 42:20

Yes, indeed.

SPEAKER_00 42:22

Like we had a we had somebody just recently say, I'm a haircutter, but I want to do this.

SPEAKER_01 42:26

Right.

SPEAKER_00 42:26

I'm a barber, but I want to do this.

SPEAKER_01 42:28

Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_00 42:29

And so if you don't want to be a barber anymore, and we love you so much, and I know you listen to these. If you want to if you want to do something else, quit calling yourself a barber.

SPEAKER_01 42:39

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 42:39

Call yourself what you want to be.

SPEAKER_01 42:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 42:42

And then and follow the breadcrumbs that you get handed to, handed you.

SPEAKER_01 42:46

By the props that will get you into the character. That's great. Another game I played is, you know, I created the Merck Centers. Yep. And the Merck Centers is metaphysical education, research, coaching, counseling. That's what the center is. It stands for. That's what it stands for, yeah. And part of what it's designed to do is research.

SPEAKER_00 43:12

Right.

SPEAKER_01 43:12

And I would do these imagery visualizations of looking at water under a microscope, doing sound research and um all these different things. I went on Amazon, found a lab coat that would embroidery.

SPEAKER_00 43:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 43:31

It's kind of like a realistic vision board. You're not just cutting the images out to tape to a vision board. Right. You're creating a real live vision board. I went, of course, I have vision boards on my phone that I've created, but I found a lab coat in the perfect color pink. I had the Merc Centers and my name, Dr. Jenny, embroidered on the coat, and I bought the thing.

SPEAKER_00 43:57

And you never had any idea what this was going to morph into.

SPEAKER_01 43:59

I had no idea.

SPEAKER_00 44:00

You just put it out there, you wanted it, and now it turned. And you believed it. You created the reality.

SPEAKER_01 44:05

I knew, like I knew, like I knew that it was gonna turn into something. I just didn't know what.

SPEAKER_00 44:13

Right.

SPEAKER_01 44:13

But I did not, I you know, I within my budget, I thought, uh, I can handle like 12 bucks, whatever it was. I don't even remember, it's 12, 15 dollars.

SPEAKER_02 44:23

Right.

SPEAKER_01 44:23

But I bought the costume for part of that character as bringing it into your realization. Right. And so anytime you can viscerally experience a realization of your vision board, whatever that is, yeah, do it. Correct. Even like people that are trying to intend a new car, go sit in the car at the dealership. Even if you have no intentions of buying it that day, even if you have no intentions of even working up the financial aspect of it, right? Go smell it, go touch it, go sit in it.

SPEAKER_00 45:03

Lick the handle.

SPEAKER_01 45:04

Go to go test drive it, go lick the handle. I don't know that I would recommend that. Whatever you can do to begin to establish the realness of living the way that person who has or owns the thing that you want as real as possible so that you can feel what it feels like and you can smell what it smells like. That's right. Incorporating all of those senses easier it is to find the vibration of it.

SPEAKER_00 45:34

Which is what you're explaining, is you're actually trying to you're real you're living the real environment of it and creating the energy of it in yourself.

SPEAKER_01 45:43

Until you can actually manifest the thing.

SPEAKER_00 45:46

That's correct. That's right.

SPEAKER_01 45:48

That's what I'm that's what I'm reiterating.

SPEAKER_00 45:52

That's right. On any of the other stuff.

Early Bird Beta: Lucidium World Details

SPEAKER_01 45:54

Yep, that's right. I mean, like with our Jeep Gladiator, how many times did we go to the dealership and just sit in them, look at them, touch them, smell them?

SPEAKER_00 46:05

And just know this, guys. We could have bought that, we could have bought the gladiator anytime we wanted to.

SPEAKER_01 46:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 46:09

But we didn't because it didn't feel right yet.

SPEAKER_01 46:11

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 46:12

And so, but we did go like I had to be five or six times at the Jeep dealership and look at them.

SPEAKER_01 46:17

Yeah, we did.

SPEAKER_00 46:18

And then when the perfect one dropped in our lap, we bought it.

SPEAKER_01 46:21

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 46:22

When it felt right.

SPEAKER_01 46:23

That's right.

SPEAKER_00 46:23

And that's the key to it, is is those more of those breadcrumbs you follow, you'll understand more. And you know, no matter what it is.

SPEAKER_01 46:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 46:31

It it's it's definitely a complete circle.

SPEAKER_01 46:34

As you practice it, that's right, you'll know more and more, and you'll be able to do it. And you'll be able to do it just this second nature. Correct. It'll rewire your second nature behavior to where you're it's almost just automatic.

SPEAKER_00 46:48

100%. 100% right. How do you feel?

SPEAKER_01 46:51

You have and you'll notice that we went, so when we were gonna do the first app, we were only gonna do a hundred beta.

SPEAKER_00 48:03

Right.

SPEAKER_01 48:04

And we increased it to five hundred with this one because we have such a high demand of people wanting in the beta on the first round that we had to make more slots so that we could actually incorporate more people. So, guys, don't wait till the last minute because the slots will be gone. And those are given to us not by our choosing. We have to ask for a certain number of them. And um, like I said, we increased it. We uh got uh the next level of slotting because we had such a high, high demand of people wanting in on the beta that we went ahead and increased it on this on this next score route.

SPEAKER_00 48:47

Well, and also you get the that is a drop drop dead number. 500 people.

SPEAKER_01 48:52
