The Road Doesn't Build You. It Reveals You.

The fun of the road and the drag of the road live in the same suitcase. Here's what actually fits in the carry-on — and the one thing that has to.

 Travel is where a man finds out whether his promises are attached to his house or attached to him. One packs. The other stays home.

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hey, hey, hey, welcome to my truck. Yeah, we're doing this show on the road today, my friend, and uh I want you to know there's a version of you that only exists in hotel rooms. You know, he wakes up when he wants, he eats what he wants, he answers to no one because no one within a thousand miles knows what his normal day is supposed to look like. Nobody knows his routine, so nobody knows when he skips it. I'm recording this one on the road. Different room, different light, different chair, same show. And I was curious how this would work because I am on the road so much and pre-recording these and playing them, you know, in a in a way where it seems like it's live, but it's not. I I don't want to do that as much if possible. And so uh it's exactly the thing I want to talk to you about today because travel is one of the great joys of life. The new city, the meal you'd never make at home, the view out a window that isn't yours. I mean, I love it. I build a whole career on planes, but travel is also where the quiet stuff slips. You know, like the workout you'd never miss at home, or the call you always make, the promise nobody's checking on. So here's the question for the whole show when you leave home, who do you become? The same man in a different city, or a loser nobody back home would recognize. Let's get into it. All right, coming up on the show today, freedom of speech, the men you become at 30,000 feet. Why the road strips away the audience that keeps most men honest and what's left of you when it does. In the full story, we'll talk about the road doesn't build you, it reveals you. Yeah, the fun and the drag of working while traveling, and the one thing that has to fit in the carry-on. From the news feed, we'll talk about everybody's a road warrior now. I mean, the brand new numbers on blended travel, the stat about who actually keeps their habits on the road and why the trip got longer, but the discipline got shorter. In Faith and Home, he went up the mountain alone. What the most important person who ever lived did every single time he traveled and the habit no distance could break. And in Father Tom, I'm gonna talk to you a little bit about my hotel routine and some of the things that I do that has made all the difference in keeping my promises on the road. I hope you enjoy that. And funny factory, we're gonna talk about the lies we tell ourselves at the airport. The lies we're gonna go there. The travel day promises every one of us makes, and very few of us keep. So in the fitness minute, as we wrap, we'll pack the promise, not the excuse, the workout that fits in a hotel room and the excuse that fits in a suitcase. Of course, this show is brought to you by Cardio Miracle, the ultimate travel companion. If you wanna, if you wanna get rid of jet lag, if you want to get energized and ready for each of your presentations, the things that you have going on, Cardio Miracle, utilize it. Amazing nitric oxide product and vitamin D3. Stay with me. This one's coming to you from the road for everybody living out of a bag this summer. All right, let's talk freedom of speech. The man you become at 30,000 feet. Most men are good at home. You know that, not because they're saints, because they're watched. The wife knows the schedule. The kids know when dad works out, the dog even knows when the walk happens, and your whole normal life is a room full of witnesses. And witnesses make honest men out of ordinary ones. Then you get on a plane. And somewhere around 30,000 feet, the witnesses disappear. Nobody in that hotel knows what time you get up. Nobody knows you were going to run this morning. Nobody knows you promised your wife you'd call before dinner, or that you told yourself you'd read instead of scroll, or that the second drink was supposed to be a no. The road doesn't make you a different man. It just removes the audience and lets you meet the one you actually are. And here's the honest part because I do this for a living. That man is not all bad. Travel's one of the real joys of being alive. A new city hits different. The food you'd never cook at home, the walk through a place you've never seen, the quiet of a room where nobody needs anything from you for one night. I'm not here to guilt you out of loving the road. I I love the road. I'm I'm always on the road, but love it with your eyes open. Because the same freedom that makes travel fun is the freedom that makes discipline optional. An optional discipline has a name. It's called decline. Slow, comfortable, one skipped morning at a time. And here's what nobody tells you about working while traveling. The work usually survives. You'll answer the emails, you'll make the meeting, you'll show up to the thing they flew you out for because somebody's watching that. Everything with no witness quietly dies. The body, the prayer, the call home, the version of you your family's used to. You don't come home a worse man from a trip. You come home a slightly looser one. And and loose, repeated becomes who you are. And 20 trips a year times a decade, and the man who steps off the last plane is not the man who boarded the first one. So the whole game of travel, the actual leadership skill of it is this. Can you be the same man in a city where nobody knows your name? That you are in the house where everybody does. It's called the promise. It's called being congruent. It's called um your harmony is your integrity. That's not willpower. Willpower runs out around gate B12. It's about reflection, knowing before you pack who you intend to be when you land, deciding the man in advance. So the hotel room doesn't get to decide him for you. The road reveals your character. The question is whether you like what it reveals. And hey, if you don't, the good news is you get to fix it. I mean, you get another flight to try to fix it. So, questions for you. Who do you become the second the plane door closes and nobody back home can see you anymore? And and what's the first promise that slips when you travel? And would you keep it if your family are sitting in the hotel room with you? I'll tell you the first, the first one that slips for me, and I'll just jump right into this, is that when I get to the hotel, it's like, do I want to be lazy and watch TV, or can I put on my workout clothes and go either for a walk outside or do my workout? Um, I've made some promises through the years where I've even taught this in workshops and in other places where I've said, look, the first thing you do when you get to a hotel room makes all the difference in what you're going to do in that hotel room for the stay. And so I'll land, I'll unpack as fast as I can, I get comfy, I go, I go all in, I move into the house essentially. And then I put on my workout clothes and I go get moving. Because usually I've just flown a long way, I'm exhausted. How can you work out when you're exhausted? That's the whole point. Keep moving. It's important. We'll talk more about this in a little bit. But question is if your kids watch the hidden camera of your last work trip, would they recognize the same dad they get at home? And are you a disciplined man or just a well-watched one? Those are some honest questions. What's the one thing you refuse to let the road take from you, no matter how far you go? Thanks for joining us today. Let's keep it rolling. The full story is right after this. Yeah. The full story, let me tell you what a hotel room actually is. It's a room with no history of you in it. Your bedroom at home is full of evidence, right? The gym bag by the door that guilt to, the picture on the nightstand, the wife who'll ask you how you slept, the kid who wanders in at 6 a.m., and every object in your house, a little witness quietly reminding you who you said you'd be. Now, a hotel room has none of that, does it? It's a blank room that has never met you. It doesn't know you run in the mornings, it doesn't know you don't drink on weekends, it doesn't know you call home before dinner, it has no expectations of who you are at all. And that is the most seductive thing in the w in the world. And I've even written about this, and I may even write a book about this whole concept, and and I call it the promise of the traveling man. Um, if you know the podcast cover of this broadcast is the traveling man song. I wrote that song because I live out of my suitcase, and I have to make a new promise in every single city to give my best to every audience, but it's really what I do in the hotel room and in between everything, from the plane to the rental car to how I treat people to how I treat myself. These things are fascinating, but once you get to that hotel room, you know what I call it? The devil's playground. Yeah. The hotel room is the ultimate layer for the devil to take over your life. I I've seen it happen, it's happened to me, and there's a reason why I talk about it, and uh I'm candid about it. Because a room with no expectations lets you become anyone, including the guy you'd never be at home. Now, here's the thing I've learned dragging the suitcase around for you know 25 years. Two things are true at once, and most people only admit one of them. The truth is the road is a gift. I mean, I mean it. Some of the best moments of my life happen in cities I don't live in. A meal, I still think about a conversation with a stranger, receiving an award or getting a standing ovation, seeing something incredible I've never thought I would get to see. Uh a quiet morning with a nice drink and a view and nowhere I have to be. If you only ever hear the travel is hard story, you're being lied to. Travel is fun, and that's real. So, truth too, is the road is a slow leak. And the leak is always in the same place. The promises nobody's watching. And and not the big ones, the small, invisible, unwitnessed ones. And those are the exact ones that back home make you you. So the question isn't should I travel? No, travel, enjoy it, chase the view. The question is, what makes the bag? Because your suitcase is a confession. You open a man's bag and he'll tell you who he plans to be for the next three days. Did the running shoes make it in, or did he leave them home and pack the excuse instead? The excuse fits anywhere, weighs nothing, and every one of us has room for it. So did the book make it in or just the phone that's gonna be scrolling on till 1 a.m. every single morning in a time zone that doesn't even make sense. Did the pack, did you pack the intention to call home or just the intention to get to it? Here's the whole show in one line. Some promises are attached to your house, and some promises are attached to you. The ones attached to your house stay home when you leave. They only work when the witnesses are around. The second your wheel's up, they're gone. You find out they were never really promises. They were just habits your environment was holding in place for you. But the promises attached to you, those get on the plane. They don't need witnesses. They don't need the gym, you know, or the kitchen you trust, or the wife in the next room. They fit in the carry-on because they were never in the house to begin with. They were with you and in you. That's the entire difference between a man who travels well and a man, the road slowly hollows out. Not talent, not willpower, not even discipline exactly. It's ownership. Whether the promise belongs to your circumstances or belongs to you. So now I'm recording this right now from my truck. And uh I've been on the road for the last couple of weeks, actually. I missed last week doing this show. We were going to go live, and suddenly something came up with a meeting that I couldn't get out of for a sound check with an event I was uh performing at. And I reached out to the production team and I was like, guys, I'm so sorry. I I can't go live. I wish we'd have done a pre-record. And that's the bummer of you know, being on the road. But I appreciate you as an audience understanding. And, you know, we're not gonna give up and never do these again because I missed one week. We're gonna keep going. And there have been some weeks where I haven't been able to do this. But I'm recording this from a truck right now, and this is a different chair, a different light, same show, and even different microphones and stuff. That's the point that I want you to feel. The show didn't stay home. The home or the promise didn't stay home. I packed it. Same as the shoes and same as everything else that I bring along. So the next time you zip the bag, look at what you put in it, because you're not just packing for a trip, you're packing the man who's gonna show up when there's no one there to make him. Pack the promise. Leave the excuse. And never earned a spot in your bag, anyway. All right, everybody's a road warrior now from the news feed. Story one is this work and vacation are the same trip now. The line between the work trip and the vacation is basically dissolved. New data this year shows more than 80% of business travelers now blend work and leisure on the same trip, the so-called bleisure trip. And the average trip is running longer than it used to. It's not a niche perk anymore, it's the default way we travel. That was from uh LinkedIn. And and the whole blended travel economy is now valued at over $850 billion for 2026. That's from skilled travel, global bleisure statistics. The translation is this more of us are working from our hotel rooms for more days than at any point in history. The unwitnessed version of you is getting a lot more air time. Story number two, the gut punch number. Here's the one that stopped me cold when researchers looked at whether people actually keep their fitness routine on the road. They found that only about two in ten business travelers manage to exercise regularly while traveling. Can you imagine? That's it. Two in ten. Are you one of the few? Eighty percent of us pack the intention and leave the follow-through at the airport. That's not a willpower problem because 80% of adults, no. That's what happens when you remove the witnesses. You know, the habit was never really ours. It was our environment holding it up. Story three the stress you didn't plan for. It's not all freedom and views. More than 86% of business travelers under 55 say they've had significant stress from something as small as their internet failing on the road. I've had that happen. Uh, that's the other half of the truth. The road is fun and it's fragile. One drop connection, one lost reservation, one gate change, well, and the calm you packed evaporates. Just like when I thought I was gonna get to do this show last week and all heck went crazy in my face. And I said, I can't I can't do it. I'm so bummed. But we move on. The joy and the drag really do live in the suitcase. And story four, most of your day is on autopilot anyway. Here's the science underneath all of it. Researchers this year confirmed that a huge share of what you do every day runs on autopilot. Habit, not decision. Sit with that for a second. I mean, if most of your day is automatic, then your habits aren't something you have, they're something you are. And travel is one thing that yanks you out of autopilot and forces every one of those automatic choices back into the open where you have to make them on purpose. That's why the road is so revealing. At home, your good habits run themselves, and the road autopilot is off. And you find out how many of those habits were actually ever yours. More trips, longer trips, blurred trips, eight and ten of us dropping the routine. Most of our lives in autopilot until the plane knocks the autopilot loose. Oh man, the road of our life isn't coming, it's here. The only question is which version of you is racking up the miles. Hey, faith and hope right after this. The most important person who ever lived was, by any honest description, a traveler. The ultimate traveler. Think about it. Jesus didn't have a house he operated out of for 30 years. The ministry was three years on the road, town to town, village to village, no fixed address. He said it himself, the Son of Man, hath not where to lay his head in Luke 9, 58. If anyone had an excuse to let the routine slide, because I'm traveling, it was him. And here's what he did instead. Every time, every single time, the pattern shows up. He got up early, before the town woke, he went off alone to pray. In Mark 1, 35, it says, In the morning rising up a great while before day, he went out and departed into a solitary place and there prayed. And when the crowds got huge and the schedule got insane, the exact moment most of us would say, I'll get to it tomorrow. I'm slammed. Luke tells us the opposite happened in Luke 5, 16. And he withdrew himself into the wilderness and prayed. The busier the road got, the more he protected the habit, not less. How many times have you just said, Oh, I'll just do that tomorrow? How many times have you been like, Yeah, I'm I'm too tired? I love this example of Jesus, the ultimate traveler, because he is. And on the biggest nights, he climbed. He went up the mountain alone to pray. I mean, by himself, no crowd, no witnesses. It's amazing. Nobody performed the prayer for. That's the whole idea, right there. It's the whole thing. The habit that mattered most to him was the one nobody was watching. He didn't pray because the crowd required it. He slipped or he prayed when he slipped away from the crowd on purpose. And his most important routine was completely portable, completely unwitnessed. He never once left it at home just because he was on the road. So now hear me on this one. Most of us did the exact opposite. We do. We keep the witness stuff religiously. The meeting, the appearance, the thing people would notice if we skipped. The thing with the no audience, the prayer, the quiet time, the honest look at ourselves. That's the one we tell ourselves we'll get back to when life settles down. But life doesn't settle down. So don't let it happen. The road doesn't stop. Jesus knew that. So he built the most important habit of his life to need nothing but him in a solitary place. A hotel room qualifies. And why I call it the devil's lair, and I'll talk more about this in just a minute, is that the there's a lot of things that can happen in that hotel room that you can let in. But a hotel room qualifies as a solitary place. Same as a rental car or this truck I'm sitting in or a quiet corner of an airport, they all qualify. Here's the hope in it, though, especially if you're listening from a hotel room that isn't yours tonight. You're never actually alone out there. The one habit that travels light or lightest, a few honest words to God, a prayer before the day starts, when no one can see. That costs nothing. It weighs nothing and it fits in every bag you'll ever pack. So are you getting on your knees whenever you wake up to say thank you for this day and have that solitary time with your Lord and your savior? It's an important uh it's an important time. You know, Jesus went up the mountain alone, not because someone made him, because it was his. So make one habit that m that much yours. The road can take a lot from you, but it can't take that. All right, I want to tell you about my experience as a traveling man and what it's like to be also a dad on the road. Because through the years I've talked about this traveling man concept of what are your habits, what are your promises that you're going to keep when you get to the hotel room. I I briefly mentioned that I get to my room and I unpack as fast as possible, jump into my workout clothes and I go for it. I go do my workout. Many times I'll just go right outside and I'll walk around the place or the city that I'm in. And that's a great way to get your mind right and to feel good about your travel in your day and to discover new things that you would never have seen because you don't know that place. In fact, just driving through something is absolutely opposite of walking through it. And so I love to go do that as much as I can, and I'll stay out for an hour or two, either walking or working out, pushing my body, especially after a long, hard work uh travel and uh maybe even a rough plane ride or a bad night's sleep. I'm gonna do that workout because it resettles my equilibrium. The other thing I do, yeah, guardian miracle. Yeah. If you take this before your flight, you're not gonna feel the jet lag that you normally do. You it it just somehow, because of the nitric oxide and the miracle molecule that goes into your body, dilates your blood vessels. The next thing you know, you're feeling more energized, you're getting that blood flow you need. That you've been sitting probably on a plane or a train or a car. It's time to move, it's time to get your body working again. You flood it with cardiomerical before the flight, your your jet lag is is cut by a major portion. And I've seen that a Around the world. In fact, I've I've flown all the way to Macau in China or Malaysia or Australia or the other side of the world, Afghanistan. When I forget to take Cardiomerica, I feel the difference. But when I take it, oh man, I feel so grateful I went for it and did it, brought it along with me. I think that's important. And you know, I think that when it comes to like the recovery on the road, because usually you have to pack what you want to eat and what you want to drink, even it's like you can't take water on the plane, right? So what do you do? Here, here's one of my hacks, you ready? I don't buy water at the hotel. Did you know the fitness room has a water refiller? It's uh it's in every hotel room I've ever, or every fitness room I've ever been at, any hotel. So you can get all the water you want, just bring an empty water bottle. If you bring your cardiomerical with you and you crank that down as soon as you get to the hotel, you're gonna feel better, you're gonna work out better, it's gonna be a great day and great night. The other secrets that I would say have mattered for me is to not turn on the TV. Don't do it. And now it's a matter of how do you control the phone, right? How do you do that? So, what I've had to do is I've had to delete the apps of social media off my phone. That may sound ridiculous, but that's a promise I made to myself so that I would be fully present because otherwise I get stuck when I reload those, because I have to reload them every day so that I can post on social and then I delete them. That's a big practice. Some people are like, why don't you just do it on your laptop? It's like, no, I do it for my phone, and this is part of the promise. And so, how do you control that? I hope you'll bring your book along with you. That will shift your entire trip. If you just say, I'm gonna read the book before I scroll, the next thing you know, you're enjoying the book, and you realize how stupid the scroll really is. And as you continue to, you know, try this and put it into practice, it's not working, just keep trying to make a new promise and keep it. And uh when it comes to working out, those are fun. Eating right. When I eat when I go on the road, I actually eat better for my body than when I'm home. And here's why. My wife's not there to make me food that's temptatious. Is that a word? That's a temptation. Because she makes work food that is so yummy, and she makes she makes the stuff that I shouldn't eat a lot of the times. And so when I go on the road, I lose weight because I eat so careful. I only eat protein essentially and and um and vegetables and fruits. And so that's an interesting one as well. These are all interesting ideas. I hope that they're helpful to you. I would love to know what yours looks like. What what does your road routine look like? Because it matters, and and each of us have to make sure to to do it and and create something of our time there. And there's no reason for it to falter. But being a dad of a bunch of kids, uh they they can sense when something's off. And oftentimes if I come home from a trip, they can tell if I had a good trip or not. Um I'm so grateful for a traveling family too, because when they were little, I decided around the age of eight, I said, guys, when you're eight, you get to come on a daddy child trip. And so they've gone all over the world with me. Uh, one at a time. I always take them with me. And if you have the opportunity with your work where you could say, I'm gonna bring my kid along, it changes their mind to why we work hard, how we earn money, what our job actually is, and it helps them talk to adults. That was one of the greatest benefits of being on the road with my kids was not only to create great memories and have fun in the pool and go see the zoo that I normally wouldn't go to without them there, but to watch them interact with adults at a corporate meeting, you know, where I'm like, this is my son who's eight. And they're like, What are you what did you bring your kid for? And it's like, this is my best friend. I thought I'd bring my favorite person so you could meet them and they could see what I do at your stage. That's been a special thing for our family, and you know, that's made the joy of travel even better. So I hope those are some good ideas for yourself, as well as I'd love to know what you do with your road trips and your your family time, your business time on the road. What are your habits? What are your tricks? What are your promises? Funny factory, right after this. Okay. I know you're not supposed to laugh at your own material, but you know, I I didn't come up with all this myself. This was, of course, through our team. We have an amazing team. And uh we we just had some fun coming up with this. This is making me laugh, even just thinking about it, because there's no bigger liar on planet Earth than a man standing in an airport at 6 a.m. Here are the top seven lies every one of us tells ourselves the second we start traveling, and not one of them survives contact with the hotel. You ready? Number one, I'll work on the plane. Yeah, no, you won't. You'll open your laptop with the confidence of a Navy SEAL, type four words, watch nine minutes of a movie you'd never pay to see, and then the guy in the middle seat, yeah, he's gonna fall asleep on your shoulder, and you will accept this as your new life. All the guys drilling. And you're just like, I can't move or else I'll wake him. Now you become the sturdy shoulder, you become the bed for him, the pillow. The laptop's a prop. It's a blanket that costs $2,000 on your lap. All right. Number two, promise I'll eat healthy at the airport. Okay, you said this, you meant it. And then you saw the Cinnabon from 40 yards away, and your body walked toward it like it was being tractor beamed. It's basically breakfast, you know. I mean, it's not basically breakfast, it's a birthday cake wearing a trench coat. But it's 5 a.m. and you're weak, and freedom isn't free. You know, I remember that Lauren Hill made a song years ago, uh, strolling the dead with killing me softly with his song. Remember that song? Killing me softly. I remember I I tried to write a parody to it, and it was based around this. And it was uh Sitting alone in the airport, eating a whole cinnamon. I've never finished it, but I feel like I think that's so funny. Sitting alone in the airport eating a whole cinnamon. Okay, number three. I'll get a good night's sleep, so I'm sharp tomorrow. Hey, yeah. Then the hotel room puts you in a in, well, the hotel puts you in a room where the air conditioner has only two settings. You know what I'm talking about. Off or category four hurricane. And the the guy in the next room's either watching wrestling or is wrestling, and you lie there at 2 a.m. doing the math. Oh man, if I fall asleep right now, I'll sit up four hours. Yeah, you do this every 20 minutes until sunrise. We're all we've all been there. How about this one? Number four. I'll use the hotel gym. Mmm. Yeah, you packed your shoes. You feel great about yourself for packing the shoes. And the shoes will go home exactly as clean as they arrived. Now, you will, however, take a photo of the hotel gym and think about going, and in your mind that counts, but it doesn't count. Like, I know I've gone into the hotel gym, filled up my water, and taken a selfie that I was in there. That's a nice lie to myself, right? Don't do it. All right. Number five, one drink at dinner. Hey, it's never just one, it's never been one. One is a unit of measurement that does not exist while traveling, right next to I'll just have a bite of yours and we'll split the dessert. Yeah, just be careful if you're doing that drinking stuff. I I personally don't uh don't go into that space, but I'll tell you, I've seen a lot of people have that happen. And it's important to, you know, we have to keep it light because it's like, man, this is this is what a lot of people do, but just be careful. Number six, I don't need to write down the parking spot. I'll remember. No, you won't. You are now a grown adult wandering a rental car garage in a foreign city, clicking a key, fob, into the void, listening for a beep like a law sonar submarine. Level three, zone C, or was it E? Ah, you'll be here a while. You know what my trick is? I take a photo of my car, because it's always a rental. I take a photo of the column next to it, I take a photo of the floor, the level, I take a photo of the elevator. This may sound like overkill. I've never regretted it once. Finally, number seven. This trip I'm going to relax. And then you scheduled it every hour. Yeah, you turned your relaxing vacation into a corporate offsite with better weather. You need a vacation from your vacation. Welcome to being an adult who travels. Guys, we're all lying to ourselves at the gate. The trick isn't to stop traveling, it's to tell yourself the truth before you pack, and then pack the shoes anyway, and actually use them. Don't just take a selfie in the fitness center or just use it for your water refill. No, go do that workout. It's radical, I know. But fitness minute. All right. The message is this today. Pack the promise, not the excuse. You know, we just laughed about the hotel gym shoes, the go home clean. Let's fix that. Here's the truth. The numbers that we we gave today, only about two in ten travelers keep their fitness on the road. And the reason isn't that hotels don't have gyms, is that the road took away the witnesses. And most of our discipline was borrowed from our environment, not owned by us. So don't outwillpower it. Outplan it. Decide the man before you land. You do not need the fancy gym. A hotel room is a full workout if you own it. Bodyweight squats between emails, push-ups before a shower, a walk to dinner instead of the car, take the stairs like you mean it. I can testify taking the stairs instead of the elevator has changed my travel and my body. It just makes you feel good. The whole thing takes 15 minutes, fits in a room that has never met you, and has no idea you're a man who moves. So show it. But here's the deeper thing: movement on the road isn't about only about the body. When you're crossing time zones, sitting on planes, sleeping in strange beds, your circulation takes the hit first. The blood starts to pool a little bit, the energy tanks. The head gets foggy. You tell yourself, that's just travel, but it doesn't have to be. That's part of why I love talking about this. Our sponsor, Cardiomerical, comes in. And I talk about Cardiomerical as if I as if it's going out of style. But I want you to know that if you can get control of your blood flow while you travel due to nitric oxide, just mix this in your water. It's very simple. And you only tend to take one or two of these a day, and it's like the best thing you've put in your body. It's 58 natural ingredients. It actually releases vitamin D3 from your fat cells. And imagine flooding your body with all the right stuff instead of cranking in all the caffeine or the energy stuff or or you know this the stuff that we shouldn't put in our body. But it supports your circulation and your energy on exactly the days your body's fighting a plane, a time change, and a bed that isn't yours. I mean, it fits in the bag, it fits in the routine. It's one of the promises that travels with you instead of staying home. Now, I'll be candid. Cardiomiracle, I use it every single day. And equally, my dad is the creator, formulator, and founder of this company and this product. It's winning awards all over the place. It's affected now over a million lives. It can affect your life as well if you want it to. If you go to Cardiomiracle.com and uh, you know, you can go try it out. You can try it out for 60 days. And if you don't like it, just send it back. No questions asked. It's a powerful product, it's a world life changer for so many. So, you know, I mean, we we built this product to save a million lives. It's now helped over a million people, so now we're shooting for a hundred million. And, you know, it works just as well at 30,000 feet as it does in your own kitchen. So I hope that you'll check it out. Link in the show notes. We're gonna talk more about it in there. Pack the promise. Leave the excuse. The shoes go on your feet, not in the bag. Don't forget your cardio miracle on the road. Let's bring it home. Well, this has been interesting to do this in this car. Now, here's the thing: it's a hundred degrees outside, and it feels like it's 180 in here. I mean, I just turned it on and I'm like trying to get the air flowing, but it's just so hot I can't believe it. Here's where we land from a space that isn't my usual space for doing this. Let's say, uh, let's say it's a night I'm on the road, right? We started at 30,000 feet with a version of you that only exists when the witnesses disappear. We opened a suitcase and asked what the made the bag, the shoes, or the excuse. We looked at the numbers and found eight in ten of us are dropping the routine the moment we travel. And we climbed the mountain alone uh with the man, with the one man who never once left his most important habit at home. Here's the whole thing in one breath. The road doesn't build your character, it reveals it. Then it hands you another flight to do better. Travel to joy, chase the view, eat the meal, love the new city. I do every single week. Attack the man before you pack the bag. Decide who lands before the plane does. Because some promises are attached to your house, some promises are attached to you. If one of them gets on the plane, make sure it's the right one. Hey, thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. If you enjoyed it, please tell your friends.
