Speaker 1:

Next level nation. Welcome back to another episode of next level university, where we teach you how to level up your life, your love, your health and your wealth. We hope you enjoyed our latest episode, episode number one thousand four hundred and twenty nine. We really wish we stop spending time with these people sooner. We talked about arrogant and entitled people, and maybe we have been arrogant and entitled in certain seasons of our past. So again, no judgment on that. But we want what's best for you and if you are somebody who is very heart driven and maybe somebody who is more sensitive, being around those people probably isn't good for you Today. Episode number one thousand four hundred and thirty three questions to ask yourself to get more clarity. I am very giggly because Alan and I have been behind the scenes for a couple hours cracking jokes and just having a good time. Now we jump into super serious mode where we record episodes in front of thousands of people and sometimes it's weird.

Speaker 2:

It doesn't have to be that serious. You don't think so? I think we need to be professional, but also have some fun.

Speaker 1:

I would concur with that. Three questions to ask yourself to get more clarity. I am realizing, between the events we've gone to, the coaching calls we've done the students we spoke to recently most of them are students that having clarity is a superpower, definitely, but also having clarity is challenging. It's challenging to know. How do you know how clear you are? Really, it's really hard to understand how clear you are until you get more clear and you understand. I wasn't really that clear at all.

Speaker 1:

I would say you and I have had a very similar experience. I remember we went to a Brendon Burchard event years ago and we filled out these worksheets about our level of clarity and I remember thinking I'm not that clear. I'm a podcaster, self-improvement, hyper-conscious, I'll probably do some coaching. And when we were in the group with these other people, I think my lowest score that I gave myself was maybe a seven and I think the next highest score was a four and that was very illuminating for me because these were people that were in their 30s, 40s and 50s, maybe even 60s, and that was the first time I ever really felt like I had a higher level of clarity. But a lot of that was from behind the scenes, conversations with you, and just podcasting every single day and having deep conversations and asking myself questions, some of these questions. So now we're going to give the questions.

Speaker 2:

Kev. This is good, this is good.

Speaker 1:

Alan Clarity is the.

Speaker 2:

Clarity is the first C of our five C's in the course we did. It is it is, and the reason why is because over the years, kevin and I have become much wiser and we've reflected back and realized that we have certain things that other people aren't as high in. And that's one thing that I want to share with everyone as well is you shouldn't be coming to next level university for everything we are holistic Health, wealth and love. Life, health, wealth and love.

Speaker 1:

Life, love, health and wealth dammit. I know the syntax. I say it every single episode. I know.

Speaker 2:

I know Life, love, health and wealth. Well done. For me, kev, health is the most important, so I tend to say health, wealth and love. But that's okay, that's neither here nor there.

Speaker 2:

Kevin and I did a monthly meetup on how your mental health is hindering your growth and I had a really powerful moment after that of number one. That was way outside my comfort zone. Number two Emilia and Bianca talk about mental health all the time. I know Jesse, who is the director of monthly meetups, also talks about mental health often and I asked her. After it. I said how many speeches have you given on mental health Podcasts, speeches, things like that? She said hundreds and I realized mental health is something Kevin and I do and it's definitely something that we can talk high level about, but it's not necessarily our main thing.

Speaker 2:

But the reason I'm bringing this up right now is that this episode's about clarity. You don't know how clear you are until you look back at how clear you weren't. You and I didn't even know we were that clear until we went into a room with hundreds of other people. We realized that our score on clarity was very high. Six years, you and I, six years ago, started podcast. Each Team up awesome, hyper-conscious, becomes NLU. Reflecting on the last six years, kev, it's very obvious that we had a ton of clarity right out of the gate.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, in comparison to others, and that's what I would like our listeners to ask themselves Do you feel, in comparison to others, like you have more clarity on who you are, who you aspire to be, what you wanna do with your life, or less? Where do you think you're at? Zero to 10? That would be the first question. It's a bonus question, bonus question, and that's what we're talking about today, because clarity creates certainty, certainty creates action, action creates momentum, momentum creates results, and then results actually create more opportunities, which then you start to tend to lose focus and have to relearn who you are from that next level. So, kev, without further ado, what are the three questions?

Speaker 1:

The three questions. We'll do a little story before each one of them. I remember Alan and I were going to Colorado and we were in the airport. It was probably. We usually take early flights just because it's easier go to the airport, get to wherever we're going it's still pretty early and sleep on the plane, catch up on sleep. And we were at our gate getting ready to take this flight and there was a family. There was what I assumed to be a mom and dad and I think there was three little kids and the father was hammered and it was early I don't remember how early, but I remember early enough where I remember thinking to myself I didn't even think that restaurants were open and or serving alcohol at this time. It's too early for that.

Speaker 1:

So Alan and I are sitting there, alan's working, I'm preparing to get on the plane and I remember you and I were visibly upset that the father at one point was dragging the child across the floor to go get another drink and you and I were just pissed. We were so angry, so frustrated. This is a problem, what's gonna happen with that kid Like you know that. That all that stuff for you and I, and I think we were both pretty close to crying at that point and we were confiding in one another. That's one of the first questions what bothers you? What really really really pisses you off, what wrecks your day, what upsets you to the point where you cannot move forward with your day until you talk about it, think about it, act about it, whatever it may be, what really really bothers you? Alan and I both grew up without fathers. Mine was somebody who left, alan's was one who was taken from him, and we didn't necessarily have positive male role models in our life. We believe at a deep level that if we did, our lives would have looked different, and they would have for sure. I don't know if I ever would have done a podcast thing. I don't know if you ever would have gone to WPAN. A lot of things would have been different, right. But in my mind I'm thinking, hmm, I feel really bad for those kids. What's gonna happen to those kids? So we have a deep spot for children. We have a charity foundation for children and single parents. Even excuse me, even when you hear me ask that question we have a bunch of answers under why that made us upset, why that frustrated us, why that bothered us. That's a very impactful question for you to ask, because yours is probably completely different, or it could be the same, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Taryn cannot watch an animal get hurt. She can't do it, not even in movies. She closes her eyes, covers her ears and says let me know when it's over. That's just, that's one of her things. But she cares so deeply for living creatures All of them. She's very similar to you and Amelia. If we catch something, she'll bring it outside. It doesn't matter what it is spider, whatever it is. But that's one of the things that upsets her is when animals are mistreated, when people are mistreated. That's one of the reasons she does what she does. So that is the first question what bothers you? What, and the framing for that is what pisses you off, what makes you angry, what wrecks your day, what fires you up, what creates an emotional reaction to you? And really you could say that as question one is not just what bothers you, but what creates a really meaningful emotional shift in you.

Speaker 2:

That's question number one. The only thing that I would share about that is it was very clear that those parents from our perspective particularly the father, but both of them, those kids are going to be growing up in an environment that doesn't have a lot of guidance, doesn't have a lot of awareness, doesn't have a lot of hyper consciousness, doesn't have a lot of health, wealth and love. And that's actually why the next level university podcast exists To try to help people become more aware, become more hyper conscious, to learn, to grow, to study, to understand, to be more empowered. And when I looked at those little kids, kev, I got sad for sure, I got pissed off as well, but I ended up saying, kev, I have to put my earplugs in, I can't listen to this, I cannot listen to the way this is going on. Excuse me, I had to burp. I gotta stop drinking carbonated drinks on Monday. So I know.

Speaker 1:

Ron AA, whoever's editing this, can we please cut the burp just because it's not good timing? It's a very heartfelt story. I don't want you to lose any of the heartfeltness.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, cut all that just from the burp, and then the talking about the burp. So witnessing this scenario, with the father obviously not being Kind, not being a good role model, not being empathetic, not being a good father, quite frankly, my blood was boiling, so was Kev's. I put my earplugs in. It's not our place, I suppose, to say anything, so it's just going to make it worse. So let's just move forward. But when we're on that plane and I'll often do this with Kev, assuming I'm not sleeping normally I'm just sleeping but I'll look out the window and see all of the city, whatever city we're flying out of or flying into, and I'll say, every single person down there is a potential podcast listener. And I always think about that, because this podcast, quite frankly, would have been exactly what I would have needed If I was 12 years old or 17 years old or 22 years old, and I found this podcast, and I found you and I, I would have had way more clarity, I would have had way more guidance, I would have been so inspired, I would have learned so much more, I would have improved so much more. And so that's what it is is.

Speaker 2:

Ask yourself that question what bothers you the most? It's. I was talking about this in book club. It's not socially acceptable to be pissed off and to be angry. But I do believe you are pissed off and angry for a reason and I believe if you dig into that and try to understand what that reason is, I do believe the opposite of that is probably your purpose. So if the environment bothers you the fact that we're destroying the earth it's supposed to bother you because we're supposed to do something about it. If animal abuse bothers you, it's supposed to bother you because you're supposed to do something about it. If bullying bothers you, it's supposed to bother you because you're supposed to do something about it. If ignorance bothers you and incompetence and those things bother you, like me, if people, their potential, bother you, it's supposed to bother you because it's part of your purpose, and if it didn't bother you it wouldn't be your purpose.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, if it didn't move you, it wouldn't be your purpose. There has to be some emotional connection to it. All right? Second question is a little less heavy. Alan and I were in Pittsburgh and this was the night no, this was Saturday night. So we gave the speech on Friday. Saturday I hung out at the Airbnb, alan went to the lunch and then he went to the gym and I ordered pizza and I was going to watch UFC. I said, look, it's been a hectic week. Travel did a great speech, awesome, I'm going to watch UFC. So, alan, I think you got home at five, ufc started at six, you did a working session and then you came downstairs and it just it got late very fast.

Speaker 2:

So this was probably about a lit.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, time went by really fast. So, ufc wrapped up, I finished my pizza, it was about 11 o'clock and it was just a very long week. So when I get very tired I start talking weird. I have a lot of weird thoughts. A lot of it doesn't make sense. I don't know where it comes from, but I asked Alan this question. I said hey, man, and then I started just laughing hysterically and he was like hey, are you high? Are you like smoke something? While I was gone I said no, man, I'm just really tired, and you know how I get when I'm really tired.

Speaker 1:

I said if you've ever driven down the street let's just say maybe New York, any city we're in a city. Right now we're in Pittsburgh and you look, there's these buildings and they're super heavy, and there's these cars on the road and they're super heavy, and there's all this heavy stuff just on the land. If you didn't know any better, you might think that the world is moving because we put a lot of heavy stuff on it. And I said you know the weird thing, alan, all of the heavy stuff actually came from the earth, so it doesn't really matter, it kind of offsets. That is the type of conversation you would hear me having on a Friday night or a Saturday night. That's what I like talking about weird stuff like that.

Speaker 1:

I've told the story before, but years ago I'm up in Maine or Vermont somewhere with a group of friends. We're smoking a joint outside, laying on the dock, looking up at the stars and I said imagine if gravity just took a day off. We just floated out into space. We all died. That'd be weird, right? Anybody ever thought of that? And silence crickets. No, we've never thought of that. We're not thinking of that. Well, that's what I think about Friday and that's why the first podcast I started was called the Hyperconscious Podcast. That's where all this started Hyperconscious. I want to think about all this stuff, not just surface level. I want to think about all this stuff. So the second question is what would I find you talking about on a Friday night? What would I find you talking about on a Saturday night? What would I find you talking about, maybe when you're reminiscing with the people that are closest to you? Or what would I find you talking about when you're in your element, just going off talking about what you love talking about?

Speaker 2:

Kev is always Contemplating weird stuff, definitely, and huge fan. This whole business was built on contemplation. We don't talk about it often, but that's what we're doing right now.

Speaker 2:

Mm-hmm every listener is contemplating with us, contemplating their life, contemplating their values, contemplating what they contemplate. Contemplation is a word we don't talk about often, but that second question is about what you're talking about with other people. Is what you're thinking about? And what you're thinking about is dictating your life. I was on book club again. A lot of good stuff happens on book club. I had this moment. We're reading limitless with Jim quick and he's talking about your Brain and the way you think and I said most of us are not Understanding how important it is to protect. He was talking about the four horsemen, is what he calls it, and it's the four Digital distractions. There's digital Morphea, dostinia I don't know the exact terms.

Speaker 1:

I really don't.

Speaker 2:

He calls it the four horsemen and it's essentially the rings and the dings and the Bings and the, all the notifications we all get from all our devices. All the time being so hyper connected, it messes with our brain. That's what he's talking about, and I said in book club Think about how often you're giving away your consciousness, you're giving away your thoughts, you're giving away your focus, you're giving away your attention. If you're paying attention to Kevin and I right now, we are, quite frankly, helping you Manifest the life that you want. If, all of a sudden, I started talking about geese and how I golf on the week, I don't golf, but it's. It becomes useless information very, very quickly. Now, useless is contextual. So maybe you do want to golf, or or maybe you work on a golf course that has too many geese, that poop. That's why I thought of golf and geese, because of that. But the point I'm making is that I think a lot of people talk about a lot of useless things and of course, I would think that, because I tend to Always want to talk about self-improvement, personal development, I've broken it down into these three personal development, professional development and business development. But if it doesn't have to do with one of those three things. It's very hard for me to invest a ton of time into other than a couple other things like movies, fitness, but again, those all kind of Roll up to personal development, because the reason I love movies is storytelling and the reason I love fitness is health.

Speaker 2:

Here's my point. If you're out there and you start contemplating what you're talking about, start contemplating Is this really what I want to talk about or is this what my friends want to talk about? I had a friend growing up. His name was Ryan and he's a director of feature films now and that's always been his dream. He all he ever talked about was movies, making movies, movies, movies. He loved watching movies. His whole world was movies. He's obviously gonna be a better director than someone who's like, yeah, I kind of like film that. What is that for you? I call it your ozone. What's your obsession zone? What are you obsessed with? There's a lot of clarity in there waiting for you.

Speaker 1:

Third question just came up with this one. I've never asked this one before, but I do think it's one of those ones that makes you think, and I don't. I Don't always care about being inspirational or motivational. I want to create a new thought in your mind that maybe you've never thought of before, because that's where breakthroughs happen. I really believe that, of some of the most important breakthroughs I've ever had, are questions that I never asked before and I was willing to and Confident enough to try to answer. So One of the things that we decided early at NLU this is before we were even NLU but we said we're never gonna do sponsorships, will never do ads, we're gonna do our own stuff.

Speaker 1:

Nobody's gonna say, hey, you can't talk about this, hey, you have to promote this product, it's just not it. Eventually it got to the point where, when we started to feel that having certain guests on was not the Best for the listener, for you, whether you're watching or listening then we said you know what? We're not gonna have guests anymore, we're just gonna do seven episodes a week. It's gonna be totally solo, aka Alan and I, and we're going to use stories from our coaching sessions and stories from the community and stories from our experiences and our lives, and we're gonna tell what we believe to be the closest version of the truth. And we stopped having guests completely.

Speaker 1:

So the third question is what would you never trade any amount of money for? For me, it's the ability to do this in the way that we do it you couldn't give me. I'm not interested in Spotify buying this podcast for a hundred million dollars. I'm just not interested. I yeah, it's a lot of money, but that's not why I started. I started so I could talk about the stuff that I want to and impact the listeners in the way that I felt was best.

Speaker 1:

Right, that's where this all came from. It can't be a person, it can't be something with a heartbeat, because, yes, there's no amount of money you could give me To take my wife. There's no amount of money you could give me to take my cats, alan, alan's family it's off the table. So it can't have a heartbeat. I think that's a really good way to look at it, but For you, it might be the first picture you ever painted, because to you it's so. It's so important, it's so special. To you, it might be something that your late family member gave you and that might have a lot of Really deep meaning it could be. I Know I won't use, I won't give yours, alan, but what was yours?

Speaker 2:

For me it was Physical fitness. I had all these mentors that I'm very grateful for coaches, mentors dozens, and Some of them were very, very, very, very, very wealthy. But I At the time I was really physically fit and I still am in comparison, but I remember thinking to myself I would never trade my physique for your money, never. I would never trade my physical fitness for your money. One of my mentors I joke he came up to me in the gym. He said you feel really good at the beach and I feel really good at the bank. And we laughed and we joked and I was helping him with fitness. He was helping me with business and finance. I would never switch.

Speaker 2:

Now that tells me something about myself. This is about clarity. If you're sitting there and going, I would switch in a heartbeat. You could take away my physique, my physical capabilities, my physical fitness, my health and wellness, and I would be okay with that for a billion dollars. Then that means you do not value fitness the same amount that I do, and that's okay. I'm not making that wrong.

Speaker 2:

I would say that that's probably not good, but at the end of the day, we don't all value everything equally. We don't associate meaning to the same things. Some things mean the world to people and I can't even imagine it. And vice versa. If you've ever heard about certain NFTs, it's called a non-fundable token and it's digital drawings getting sold for hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions of dollars. For me, as someone who doesn't value that, I can't imagine. I would much rather open a school or invest that in our business or whatever. But again for you, what's the thing that you would never trade for the world? And for me, it's my physical health and my physical fitness and my physical capabilities, and I get very, very, very inspired whenever I watch physically disabled people do amazing things, because I see a lot of people that are physically able and physically capable and they do very little with it, and for me that sucks, because there's people who would do anything to be as physically capable as you, and I try really hard not to forget that.

Speaker 1:

How much would I have to pay you to never watch a movie again? Hypothetically Is there a number. You don't care about money, so it's not Apples to apples.

Speaker 2:

I care about what and it's so interesting that you asked that, kev, I appreciate it I care about what money can do. So this is where my mind went. I would give up watching movies if you gave me five million dollars, we'll say, and I could invest that in helping educate the world Billion or million, billion, billion, I'm gonna say millions. No, no, no, no, no. Hey, come on. You know Jurassic Park's coming out in theaters in 3D.

Speaker 1:

No, I don't follow movie news like you Did you know, UFC their next cards in Boston, massachusetts not an hour from where I live.

Speaker 2:

Of course I didn't, emilia. I sent her a screenshot. I'm so excited, so it's gonna be date night. Jurassic Park, the first one in 3D Okay, 30th anniversary. That movie came out 30 years ago. It's wild, that is wild, but I do value what money can do and I would sacrifice movies. I wouldn't sacrifice my physical health, though. That's the difference. For five billion dollars, I would not sacrifice my physical health.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if I would not watch UFC again.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's tough.

Speaker 1:

Because there are certain things that I want to do forever, and the more quote, unquote, holistically successful I become, the better. The experience is when I watch UFC after a long week. Now it's the best. It's the best and eventually I'll go Maybe.

Speaker 2:

And that's clarity. This whole thing is about it.

Speaker 1:

I don't ever want to trade that in. I know weed is not the most healthy habit in the world. I don't want to give it up, I just don't. I mean I'm not like I used to be. It's not like I'm smoking weed every day. Yeah, where? If you said I'll give you? I mean you could give me like $5,000 and I'd never have a sip of alcohol again.

Speaker 2:

All right, whatever Cool, I don't worry.

Speaker 1:

I wouldn't even care about the money, really.

Speaker 2:

See the difference. Yeah, that's clarity. And hopefully our listeners are asking themselves that same question, because that's the truth. You're just getting to the truth. I obviously value movies more than you do. Definitely. You obviously value weed more than me. That's okay, but we need to know that so that we don't keep living in this distorted reality. All of us are remember when you and I did the episode about how I wanted to, we talked about all the cookies, brownies, brownies.

Speaker 2:

We did an episode where Kevin had extra brownies and I ended up eating them, even though I wanted to keep, and I said you know what, I don't care, I'd rather eat the brownies. At the end of the day, we want to want to not eat the brownies more than we really do. There's always a delta and I hope that the listeners know that I'm not trying to be unkind with this there's always a delta between what you say you want and what you actually want. Always, it's just, how big is the delta? I know some people who are very real with themselves. They're like yeah, you know what, kevin? That's very real of you to say I don't want to give up smoking weed. True, there you go. A lot of people aren't that honest with themselves. I don't know how to.

Speaker 1:

Well, it's almost the opposite, where they say well, it's not, that it's not detrimental Right.

Speaker 2:

That's more of a lie, though, because it is detrimental.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

What Kevin is doing is I really want to make this point, Land. What Kevin is doing is saying it's not optimal and I know it and I still want to do it because it's worth it to me. See how many layers of truth versus someone who's like oh yeah, no, weed isn't bad for you at all, it's not a big deal, it's not detrimental to my life whatsoever. See how one of them is all ego and all untrue Delusion. It's delusion, yeah. It's delusion, I would argue, ego is delusion.

Speaker 1:

Or just lack of awareness? Yeah, but again, I watched a video. There's this, there's this. Really, you'd love this channel on YouTube. It's some the anatomy, I don't know. They literally have cadavers and they show you these are the muscles of the quadricep. These are this is the heart and this is how it actually works. And they do all these awesome episodes what actually happens when you build muscle. How does that actually work? Super cool. One of the things was all smoking is bad for you, all of it, any smoking, because it's badness going into your lungs. It doesn't matter whether it's now. Are some of those worse for you? Yes, but are any of them good for you? No. That was pretty much the video in a nutshell, and I watched that. That's a very truthful statement.

Speaker 2:

I'm really. I live for truths like that.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

Yes, it's hardcore.

Speaker 1:

It's hardcore, yeah, but I watched it. I just watched it for the perspective of let me see, let me learn. Is this going to affect my behavior or will this shift my perspective?

Speaker 2:

Let's see One last piece too quickly. Kevin and I realize that we are into holistic self-improvement health, wealth, life and love. We also realize that pizza is not optimal. Definitely, we know that eating pizza and dominoes is not the best source of nutrients that we can get. We are consciously choosing pizza because we love it, not because it's the healthiest. I just don't want anyone. I think it's important to just live in the truth. I might be the world's biggest advocate for the truth, I just I don't want to delude myself. I'm not eating pizza because I think that's what's best for me. Right, I'm not eating pizza.

Speaker 1:

I'm not eating pizza this weekend Did I. Oh yeah, I'm not eating pizza. We got some dominoes. We got some doms.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was delicious. It was delicious. That's why I'm eating it, because I want to eat it. But I'm not sitting here pretending that that's optimal for my health and fitness, I understand. And then it's like, okay, well, wait a minute. If that's true and fitness is most important to you, how come pizza? See how it gets very nuanced.

Speaker 1:

It would be very challenging to do this episode early on, because I know under all of that is well, if you really want to have the most impact possible. Alan, you wouldn't watch any movies, and that's a fact. I wouldn't watch UFC. I wouldn't do anything. I wouldn't do anything that I would do, but that wouldn't be holistic success and I wouldn't be as fulfilled.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

So it would be success without fulfillment Right, there's justifications for everything. So don't and you very, very rarely hear me say this don't overthink it, because for everything you say, you can have a justification for why well, no that's not realistic or whatever it may be, so don't overthink it.

Speaker 1:

Okay, three questions. The last one, let me just go through them and then we get to get out of here. Three questions. One what bothers you, what creates emotion? What pisses you off? What frustrates you? What makes you super sad? What wrecks your day?

Speaker 1:

Question one, number two what would I find you talking about on a Friday night if you were just over the moon to talk about it? For me, it's weird stuff that most people don't think of. I don't know, it's strange, but I love it. Third thing what would you never trade any amount of money for? Not a person, not a pet, not something with a heartbeat. So it's maybe an experience, something you do, a feeling you have your body.

Speaker 1:

So I said the freedom of doing what we want in this podcast, probably also UFC. Alan said physical body and you'd have to give him $5 billion to stop watching movies. Next up, anasian.

Speaker 2:

Weird contemplative thought. Think about yourself at seven years old. You weren't that aware, you didn't know yourself that well. You didn't really understand how the world works or why it works that way. You didn't have a ton of different skills. Yet you were unless you were a child prodigy, which is possible.

Speaker 1:

I was Of course.

Speaker 2:

Of course, you just didn't really know much. You didn't understand much. So, like Kevin now, at 34 years old, that's the first time I've said that since your birthday.

Speaker 1:

That's the first time you got it right. You've been saying it for years. That's the first time.

Speaker 2:

it's been true. 34 years old, he's just much more aware, much more, has much deeper understanding, much more capable. That is what group coaching is about. We created the very best 90 day program of a group of 10 people to help you understand yourself at the deepest level, understand how the world works at the deepest level, and understand how to achieve your goals and dreams. If we picture ourselves at seven, we didn't know who we were. We didn't know what we were doing. We didn't know any clarity. We didn't know the answer to the questions on this episode. What if you're now 34 or 37 or 42 or 47? And what if you still don't know yourself nearly as well as you could? That's what group coaching is. That's what we're going to help you with. It's going to be a way deeper dive than this podcast. If you love this podcast, you will love group coaching. It is less than $97 per month for the three month program.

Tomorrow for episode number 1,431, one of the best gratitude perspective shifts. This is something Alan and I used to talk about a lot. We used to do an episode every year around Thanksgiving talking about gratitude and how to practice it in a more aligned manner. So we're going to do that for tomorrow's episode. But there is one question I absolutely love. Questions are everything Hyperconscious questions? As always, we love you, we appreciate you, grateful for each and every one of you and an NLU. We turn out to fans, we have family. We will talk to you all tomorrow.
