Kevin Palmieri

(0:00) We've kind of been talking about this authenticity and the right energy and the right attitude for the right situation, so we're going to dive deeper into that today and see where that conversation takes us. (0:12) Everything is contextual, but the principles remain the same. (0:15) We're going to talk about that.(0:17) Welcome to Next Level University. (0:19) I'm your host, Kevin Palmieri. (0:21) And I'm your co-host, Alan Lazarus.(0:24) At NLU, we believe in a heart-driven, but no-BS approach to holistic self-improvement for dream chasers. (0:31) Our goal with every episode is to help you level up your life, love, health, and wealth. (0:37) We bring you a new episode every single day on topics like confidence, self-belief, self-worth, self-awareness, relationships, boundaries, consistency, habits, and defining your own unique version of success.(0:53) Self-improvement, in your pocket, every day, from anywhere, completely free. (1:00) Welcome to Next Level University. (1:05) Next Level Nation today for episode number 2,231, a different part of you is required for everything you do.(1:12) Is that a rhyme? (1:13) A different part of you is required for everything you do. (1:15) Yeah, not bad.(1:16) Not bad. (1:17) A little rhyming on a Saturday. (1:19) What's your take on that?(1:23) We talked about social development, personal development, and professional development. (1:28) Yes. (1:29) Two episodes ago.(1:31) Uh, yes. (1:33) Yes. (1:33) I have already reviewed said episode, Strong Work Production Team, and that was a good episode.(1:39) I was concerned because I got very hardcore in that one, but my process is, I think it's going to go great. (1:49) Then after I get off the mic, I think it was not as good as I'd hoped. (1:52) And then I review it and I think, okay, it's actually better than I thought.(1:55) It's my process. (1:56) I think you're the opposite. (1:58) Anyways, we talked on that episode about syntax and how you naturally were social first, social development first, then personal development, then professional development.(2:14) And I joked and said, I couldn't come. (2:15) I could, I wouldn't want to be in a t-shirt or a hoodie in a beanie on a podcast. (2:22) I want to be a professional and I want to be perceived as a professional.(2:26) I am professional development first, personal development second, social development third. (2:32) Back to the last episode, talking about friends, having a ton of friends, chosen family, all that stuff. (2:36) I realized that when I lost myself, it was when I was overly focused on my social life at the expense of mastery and professional development and my career and personal development.(2:47) And so I think that we need all three. (2:49) I can be warm and loving. (2:51) Absolutely.(2:52) Let's rock and roll. (2:52) Let's have some gigs, giggles. (2:55) It's the short form of giggles.(2:56) Let's have some giggles. (2:58) You and I have a blast on this podcast. (3:00) Sometimes I concern, it's concerning sometimes because we make light of really serious shit.(3:07) But I also know that you can't only, it's like a song with only, you need to have the ups and the downs and you got to get melancholy and you got to get, you got to laugh. (3:16) You got to get sad. (3:16) You got to get vulnerable.(3:17) You also got to get intense. (3:19) I think that we kick our listeners out of flow if we're only hitting one note. (3:26) But I want to be seen as a goddamn professional.(3:29) I want to be seen as a professional first, who can also have fun, not a fun clown first, who can also be a professional. (3:36) And I'm not saying that anything against you, but I do think that that's relevant to every listener. (3:40) I think which part is the most authentic to you and which parts do you bring out in different rooms?(3:47) Because everyone thinks they know you. (3:48) And then when they see you on the internet, they go, wow, that's not the real you. (3:51) No, it actually might be, but you are a certain version of yourself with each person.(3:55) Let me ask you a question. (3:57) You open to that? (3:59) No.(4:00) End of episode. (4:01) Yeah, of course. (4:01) How, how many parts do you have?(4:08) If you had to break it into four parts, five parts, depending like this is coaching Alan. (4:12) This is how many, yeah. (4:15) How many, yeah.(4:15) How many hats do you wear on a day? (4:18) Average day. (4:19) But today, for example.(4:21) All right. (4:21) This is something no one knows about me. (4:25) I'd say at least five.(4:28) I do a mean Jim Carrey impression, but I only do it with Emilia. (4:33) What the fuck all the time, dude, all the time. (4:35) What do you even mean?(4:36) You can't tell me that and not, and then I can't see it. (4:40) Yeah. (4:40) I don't think you can.(4:41) I don't, there's a certain, there's a certain psychological safety that needs to be there. (4:47) And you are a very safe space for me. (4:50) You always have been.(4:51) I, there's just certain parts of me that I don't bring out for everybody, you know? (4:56) And I know, you know, that of course I traveled with you and Taryn, you got your own weird world going on. (5:01) It's good.(5:02) Yeah. (5:02) We're weird as shit. (5:03) Yeah, for sure.(5:04) I think it's great. (5:05) I think it's great. (5:06) Yeah.(5:06) When I traveled with you guys, I was like, yeah, I can see it. (5:09) That makes sense. (5:10) You guys went from annoyed with each other to back in love very quickly.(5:13) That was impressive. (5:14) We, I mean, we, uh, yeah, we're, we're not perfect for sure. (5:18) We're, but we're very quick.(5:19) It was good. (5:20) Yeah. (5:20) There was no yelling, nothing.(5:21) I remember we were, I remember we were picking somebody up from the airport and not only am I speaking on the biggest stage I've ever spoken on, I also am KP limousine service and I'm picking people up at the airport and we almost re-arranged it. (5:37) It was, we almost got into a car accident. (5:38) I was freaking out.(5:40) All while you were with your future wife. (5:43) Yeah. (5:43) So you had to wear all the hats simultaneously.(5:45) And again, broke a shit, you know, I don't even know how we paid for this. (5:48) It was just living on credit cards at that point. (5:50) It was tough.(5:52) Speaking of which, one of our old events, someone just requested access to a G drive file of, of our video, a speech from way back then. (5:59) Top notch live back in 2020, 2019. (6:03) Anyways, neither here nor there.(6:04) How many hats do I wear on a given day? (6:06) I would say five. (6:10) Where are they?(6:12) Coach. (6:14) What's okay. (6:15) What's engineer warrior.(6:21) Playful. (6:22) Playful at night. (6:25) I definitely, she likes slow mornings.(6:29) No, not a fan. (6:30) I get up and I go to war. (6:32) I don't, we're not, what do we, I'm not about this.(6:36) We've had to learn over time, different parts of the day. (6:39) I don't like to chill in the, in the morning. (6:41) I like to get up and change the world.(6:42) Like that's, that's my, and in the evening I'm useless on purpose and that's my rhythm. (6:48) So, um, we've had to integrate, but basically I think everybody should do this. (6:53) So I'll, I'll do me, but I want you to think of you warrior in the gym for sure.(6:59) On coaching sessions with certain people for sure. (7:02) On this podcast, I bring it out every now and then warrior coach is someone who teaches how and why and is really focused on making sure someone else is successful. (7:20) I feel like that's overdone sometimes because sometimes I feel like I help other people with their life more than my own.(7:27) You know, I coach myself engineer. (7:29) That is all numbers. (7:30) I could break down all of our numbers for all of you right now.(7:34) We have 1.3 million listens across all our podcasts. (7:36) Like I can tell you how much money we made last month, last quarter, last year. (7:41) I could tell you how much money we made every single year, year over year from the start of this company to now by exact rounding to the nearest thousand.(7:50) But I don't do that because no one cares. (7:53) And that's the engineer is the most, the least liked. (7:58) Um, that one, I probably don't bring out enough.(8:02) Most likely BGU is a lot more of that. (8:06) The warrior, the engineer, the coach and then playful as hell. (8:10) That's the Jim Carrey impressions.(8:12) You've heard me do impressions before in the past, like different, mostly Bain. (8:17) I feel like I got kind of shafted cause that's the one I've just heard that over and over. (8:21) Yeah.(8:23) Yeah. (8:23) I'm not going to do it right now, but I felt, I felt close, right?

Alan Lazaros

(8:26) Yeah.

Kevin Palmieri

(8:26) I felt like I just held space a little bit better. (8:29) That might've been something. (8:30) It was going to be good.(8:31) Okay. (8:31) It's okay. (8:33) And then is there any others?(8:38) Those are the main four. (8:39) If any other come up, what about you? (8:42) Well, uh, for me it's bodybuilder and the gym for me, it's, what's the, what do you, what's the difference do you think?(8:49) I think, I don't know.

Alan Lazaros

(8:51) Is there a difference?

Kevin Palmieri

(8:52) Bodybuilder is your warrior. (8:54) What about the part of you that likes UFC? (8:57) The fighter, the bodybuilder, the everyone has a, by the way, everyone has physical, mental, emotional, spiritual.(9:03) So this is your physical part. (9:04) It's great. (9:05) I don't, yeah, I never fighter, a fighter warrior never really resonated with me.(9:10) Probably fighter. (9:13) What about the bodybuilder warrior that you resonate a ton with that? (9:16) I don't resonate because of the title.(9:18) Do you resonate with any of the fucking characters? (9:21) Well, yeah. (9:22) Which one exactly?(9:24) And he's a what? (9:28) Uh, he was in the Marines, wasn't he? (9:30) Yeah.(9:30) He's a warrior. (9:31) Yeah. (9:31) But that's it.(9:32) I resonate with him cause it's Tom fucking Hardy on the sauce, baby. (9:37) That's why I read it. (9:38) His trap, his trap muscles are massive in that.(9:40) I remember seeing that is one of the best movies. (9:43) That is so good. (9:44) A little known, not little known, somewhat little known fact.(9:47) You won't know this. (9:48) Tom Hardy is a well-rounded jujitsu competitor in real life. (9:54) I did not know that.(9:55) Yeah. (9:55) He would choke you unconscious for sure. (9:57) And me probably at the same time.(10:01) So yeah, bodybuilder for me, I don't know. (10:03) I'm in this phase where like I'm taking my shirt off and getting like flexing pictures again. (10:08) I wear elbow sleeves.(10:10) I wear knee sleeves. (10:12) Everything I do is based on bodybuilding now. (10:14) So that's interesting.(10:15) So bodybuilder, a podcaster or philosopher, I very much, and if you can't hold your laugh, please do. (10:25) If not, I understand. (10:26) I very much, I very much think of, think of myself when we're having these conversations to me, it's philosophy.(10:34) Yeah. (10:35) I would say my existentialist, my fifth. (10:38) Yeah.(10:38) You are an existentialist. (10:40) Someone who always questioned existence. (10:42) I got laughed at.(10:44) I got laughed at. (10:45) Yeah. (10:46) I remember.(10:47) Existentialists are not popular people. (10:48) I think it's why we lock it up and we just, you, you're a comedian for sure. (10:54) You have a comedian.(10:55) Yeah. (10:55) But I feel like that's always, that's always there. (10:58) I think that a lot of comedians develop that part of themselves because it creates some brevity, levity, levity, not brevity, levity to paint.(11:12) I would say that's fair. (11:13) Yeah. (11:14) And then at night, same thing.(11:16) Like I'm just a goofy, just a goofy tease. (11:21) My wife, we laugh at each other, get belly laughs. (11:24) I'm like super soft at night, the softest at night.(11:29) But the problem is that's been harder because I, it's like my phone, I'm just like cooking dinner until seven o'clock and I'm on my phone, checking messages and checking emails.

Alan Lazaros

(11:41) Yeah.

Kevin Palmieri

(11:42) I'm trying to do that less because when I'm like, that's the other thing, sales. (11:47) Like that, I, there's a, I have the sales hat of like, okay, I'm, I have a potential opportunity here that I need to quote unquote get across the finish line or whatever. (12:00) What was the original thesis of this episode?(12:02) Because I do think we should talk about all the hats we all have to wear to be successful. (12:06) I think that's really important. (12:07) I think that was kind of, this was based on when we were in group coaching, we were in the Next Level Podcast Accelerator.(12:12) We were talking about how there is a hardcore side of us that most people never really see. (12:17) I mean, it's behind the scenes. (12:19) Like can people not deduce that?(12:22) I've been wondering, we were on a relationship talks coaching session yesterday and one of my clients, shout out to you if you're listening, it's, they just got engaged and the guy said, I saw your gym video and I was like, what do you mean? (12:41) And he was like, Emilia, holy shit. (12:45) Yeah.(12:45) And he basically said, Emilia was, apparently he zoomed in and looked at how much weight she was lifting. (12:51) She wasn't lifting much less than me. (12:53) And he was playful about it, which I appreciate, but Emilia is really strong.(12:57) And I remember thinking, and Emilia was, I said, first of all, thank you for that. (13:01) That's awesome. (13:02) I'm glad.(13:03) And he was clearly inspired as hell and obviously saw us differently now. (13:08) But I remember thinking to myself, like, did you not know she was strong? (13:13) Like she looks strong.(13:14) Can you not deduce that? (13:16) No, I don't. (13:17) Most people can't.(13:18) Yeah. (13:19) Most people can't. (13:20) Yeah.(13:21) Unfortunately. (13:21) I think that's one of the reasons I don't really, it's like, it's weird. (13:25) I don't really talk about grinding as much on here, but I talk about it on my social media all the time.(13:30) It's weird. (13:31) I don't, I don't know. (13:33) And then this brings another conversation.(13:35) We don't have to do this now, but in the future, we will probably have to branding in life. (13:41) Personal branding reputation is built on what people can see, but what people can see is what you show them. (13:49) It's just, and what they assume.(13:52) I went to the, I went to the dentist today and it was a new dentist and the Heather sweetheart, what an awesome, like I'm looking forward to going back to the dentist. (14:02) This is how next level she was. (14:04) It was trying to start a podcast.(14:06) Uh, she, no, she listens to a bunch. (14:08) So we might, we might have a new listener.

Alan Lazaros

(14:10) Heather.

Kevin Palmieri

(14:10) What's up? (14:12) She said, what do I do about, I'm joking. (14:15) She said, what do you, what do you do?(14:16) What do you do? (14:17) Cause I'm filling out my, my paperwork because I'm a podcaster. (14:20) She said, what do you mean?(14:21) And I, you know, I went through the whole thing. (14:23) You put podcaster down? (14:25) Of course.(14:25) Business owner, podcaster, baby. (14:29) Really? (14:29) I'm a fucking podcaster.(14:31) Business owner. (14:31) I'm not putting podcaster business owner. (14:34) I bet you.(14:35) Nobody asks. (14:35) Nobody cares when you say that. (14:37) Nope.(14:37) Yeah. (14:39) That's actually what I'm going for. (14:40) I'm going for, I'm going for conversation, but I, there is a moment at the end where I'm like, I wonder what she thinks based on what she has deduced from talking to me for the last hour, us catching up.(14:53) She was, we, we got along really well, but she either, she either most likely thinks I'm way more successful than I am or way less successful than I am. (15:01) Cause how would she know how successful actually less now used to be more, I think it's probably less now. (15:08) Why?(15:09) Oh, because I wasn't very successful. (15:10) Yeah. (15:11) Yeah.(15:12) But again, this is where things get wonky. (15:14) It's like you, somebody sees you pull up in a that they extrapolate from that. (15:20) So I don't know.(15:21) I, I don't know. (15:22) I don't have an answer as an engineer. (15:23) I always decode everything.(15:24) I, I, I not everything, but I mean genuinely the show friends, I've already dissected the entire thing upside down and sideways. (15:31) I just don't know how to, I get into it. (15:34) I need to know how the computer works.(15:36) The computer I just bought. (15:37) I know all the parts, 32 gigs of Ram, baby, 32 gigs of Ram back in our day when we were kids, you'd have to book a box for that. (15:46) I had a gateway dude.(15:49) Dude. (15:49) Nice. (15:50) Wasn't that the one with like cow spots on it?(15:53) Yeah.

Alan Lazaros

(15:54) Yeah. (15:54) Yeah.

Kevin Palmieri

(15:54) Cow spots. (15:55) Yeah. (15:55) I'll never forget when we got a company called gateway gateway.(15:57) Dude, before that I'm not bullshit. (15:59) We had an electric typewriter. (16:03) Yeah, I'm not, I'm not bull.(16:04) And I haven't, why the fuck did we have a typewriter? (16:07) Nobody in my family is a literary genius or an author. (16:11) What the fuck do you need a typewriter for?(16:14) Typing his raps in the back by himself listening to sad music. (16:18) No, cause if you messed up, that was it. (16:20) That was it.(16:21) That's the end.

Alan Lazaros

(16:21) Yeah.

Kevin Palmieri

(16:22) No spell check on that bad boy. (16:23) No spell check. (16:24) And before that we had web TV.(16:26) Yeah. (16:26) I remember web TV. (16:27) I thought I bought a house on accident.(16:29) It's freaking out. (16:30) My mom and pop up my grandparents. (16:31) I was like, listen, I'm so sorry.(16:33) I don't, I think I, I accidentally clicked. (16:35) Yeah, no, it was me being dumb, dude. (16:39) I was like seven real quick, real quick.(16:41) And then we'll, then we'll pass it to you and then we'll get out of here. (16:42) I was dating a, remember Jen, a last name K Jen K used to hang out with Julie and Rachel. (16:52) I was dating her at the time.(16:54) Oh, nice. (16:55) And again, this is fucking middle school. (16:57) So this doesn't mean anything, but I would go home after school and I would write love notes on web TV and my mom and Mima would help me with it on fucking TV was, it was literally, I am or no or something.(17:13) I have honestly to Jen, you could like make cards. (17:19) It was a keyboard that attached to your TV.

Alan Lazaros

(17:21) Exactly. (17:22) I remember.

Kevin Palmieri

(17:23) I remember. (17:23) I have no idea how it accessed the interwebs or it was via the phone line. (17:29) Remember you dial it up.(17:32) Yeah. (17:32) Also, you can make cards for fun. (17:34) Yeah.(17:35) You remember regular Nintendo, Duck Hunt, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis. (17:40) Of course. (17:41) Yeah, of course.(17:43) Of course. (17:43) We brought Duck Hunt up into my tree house with electricity and we played. (17:48) You remember Anthony D?(17:51) Of course. (17:52) Large six foot seven or something.

Alan Lazaros

(17:54) Yeah. (17:54) Yeah.

Kevin Palmieri

(17:55) We, we, we all, the three of us slept in our tree house, had a blast up there. (18:00) Good time. (18:01) He, he's too large for the, for the tree house.(18:04) He's a large human being. (18:05) Yeah. (18:05) Big guy.(18:06) And I don't mean that in a negative way. (18:07) I just, he was six seventies.

Alan Lazaros

(18:09) Very, very large human being.

Kevin Palmieri

(18:10) Yeah. (18:10) But dude, blast from the past. (18:12) Can you imagine the, I was watching, um, I'll go very brief about this cause this is useless to everybody.(18:20) I have a client who's in his twenties and his brother plays battlefield battlefield six. (18:25) Have you heard of said game? (18:26) Of course I have.(18:27) Of course you have. (18:28) Okay. (18:29) I haven't, I've heard of it, but I haven't played it cause I had to quit video games because goddamn it's a problem.(18:36) Highest self versus child self. (18:38) But he says this looks real as hell. (18:42) It's unbelievable.(18:45) And I just think back to Mario card and super Nintendo and regular Nintendo. (18:51) It is okay. (18:52) I'm calling this.(18:53) I'm just saying, I'm not the first one to say it, but I need to make this as clear as possible. (18:57) We do not understand. (18:59) We do not understand what has happened in the last 25 years.(19:03) No dude. (19:05) Exponential growth of technology. (19:07) It's called the law of accelerating returns.(19:08) It is Ray Kurtzwell, R and D at Google. (19:11) This dude, Moore's law, all this stuff. (19:14) You can look, look this up.(19:16) It is crazy how much the world has changed in the last 25 years. (19:19) I'm talking more like I know everyone in their time thinks that this is nuts, dude. (19:25) This is nuts.(19:26) Stream yard didn't exist five years ago, just five years ago. (19:30) Everyone read a list of things that you use today that didn't exist five years ago. (19:35) Probably most do not.(19:37) Maybe the specifics of it. (19:39) Okay. (19:40) Now, now read a list of things that didn't exist 25 years ago.(19:43) Dude, Google was founded 31 years ago. (19:48) That's Google was founded when you were five and I'm talking founded meaning in a fucking garage. (19:55) It's just, and to make this relevant, what hats you have to wear.(19:59) We are not emotionally and psychologically developed enough to keep up with tech. (20:05) That's why this podcast is so important. (20:08) That's why what we do is so important.(20:10) We understand and we're constantly trying to develop ourselves personally, professionally, and socially. (20:14) You can't just coast. (20:16) You can't, you ever meet someone and it's like, Oh, you're in trouble.(20:21) Yeah. (20:22) And that sucks. (20:23) You're in so much trouble.(20:25) You're so far behind. (20:26) I, it was really cute. (20:28) Mimi was talking about her Alexa and all this stuff.(20:30) And I just had this moment of, Oh yeah, when you were younger, there was none of this. (20:35) None of this was even remotely a thought. (20:39) And I think that's nuts.(20:40) And I think that's great. (20:41) But I also want for our listeners, I was on with a teacher earlier. (20:45) She said, what would you say to kids?(20:47) Cause she was a principal teacher and then principal. (20:50) And I said, I would say you got to learn on steroids. (20:54) You, you gotta just do not fall behind.(20:57) Keep up with what's going on. (20:58) Learn about the world, learn about yourself, learn about others, keep up with it. (21:02) You, you, you got to my car updated last night.(21:06) My phone just updated. (21:07) Both my computers just updated. (21:09) You're going to fall behind.(21:10) If you don't update your mind, you have to. (21:12) And that's why we do this episode every fucking day so that you're always, if you don't use it, you lose it. (21:20) I, uh, not related at all, but I, you ever watch, and I don't understand how they fucking do this.(21:26) This is, this blows my mind. (21:27) You ever watched a YouTube video where it talks about like, as an example, this was video game console sales versus time. (21:40) Yes.(21:40) And it has a list of like 10 of them. (21:42) And as one goes, the other one drops down below it. (21:46) Like as because one speeding up, it was so interesting to watch in the seventies and eighties and early nineties when it was like they sold some, but when PlayStation came out, yeah, PS one, it was an exponential.(22:04) And then PS two was huge. (22:06) I think PS two huge. (22:07) I think PS best selling console in history to that point.(22:10) Yeah. (22:11) Yes.

Alan Lazaros

(22:11) Yeah. (22:12) By far.

Kevin Palmieri

(22:12) I think this four is the best selling. (22:14) Really? (22:15) I think so.(22:15) The market's crazy. (22:16) If you look at e-sports and if you look at number of devices, this is even more wild. (22:20) You can chat GPT, this Google, this look at the graph of devices per capita.(22:25) Yeah. (22:26) It's, I mean, we have, we have a smart home. (22:29) I'm very grateful.(22:30) We're watching Ironman three right now as well. (22:32) He has a smart home, obviously. (22:34) Uh, we, uh, I, I can change the thermostat talking to my Alexa.(22:41) Yeah. (22:42) That's a weird time. (22:43) I now am doing it.(22:46) We're good. (22:46) But I look forward to all that. (22:48) I think that's great.(22:49) My, I'm not kidding. (22:50) I got in my car today to go to the gym. (22:52) I, I held down the start button and it brought me to the gym.(22:55) I didn't have to touch the steering wheel once you have to, you're supposed to supervise. (23:00) So I had to, if you, if you turn up the volume or turn down the volume, it reminds you that you're supervising, it's just keeping you. (23:09) So I didn't, I didn't want to lie.(23:10) I had to touch the steering wheel a couple of times to make sure that I'm in the front seat. (23:14) But the point is that nobody's come up with this. (23:16) Okay.(23:16) What'd you say? (23:17) So what you do, this is what you do. (23:18) You get a couple of paramedical gloves, put some warm water in those things and wrap them around the steering wheel.(23:23) Problem solved. (23:24) Done. (23:24) Exactly.(23:26) Here's the thing. (23:27) Yeah. (23:27) I'm looking forward to when you can just get in and talk to it.(23:32) I still want to drive. (23:33) You can drive if you'd like to. (23:36) It is very safe.(23:37) Dude, today it took us back behind and there was this person who was loading boxes into the Dunkin Donuts. (23:46) It is, I've been watching it. (23:49) I've been supervising it.(23:50) It is unbelievable. (23:52) And the update that it did last night, it gave us bullet points of everything. (23:55) It's really quite remarkable and, and it's pros and cons.(23:59) I get it. (24:00) Right. (24:00) Uh, but we take for granted so many things that are just so nice and get rid of Spotify, get rid of ALEXA, get rid of Google home, get rid of my laptops, get rid of StreamYard, get rid of the internet.(24:18) The internet goes down and it's like, Oh yeah. (24:22) So you just have to go to a library and get an encyclopedia to look something up to figure out what happened and then hope it was accurate. (24:29) I mean, now you can just talk and have a conversation with chat GPT and learn more in one hour than people learned.(24:37) It's, it's unbelievable. (24:37) And I just hope everyone's using it genuinely. (24:40) I, if nothing else comes from an L U P G U B G U, our mission, what we do with the company, I just hope everyone stays on the, on the wheel of getting better every day.(24:51) Even if you don't take every word we say, even if you don't like half the shit we say, at least you're getting better every day. (24:57) At least you're on the, you're doing more than most. (25:00) You're definitely doing more than most.(25:01) I agree. (25:01) I don't know what the number is, but it is minuscule for how many people learn every day. (25:05) For sure.(25:06) For sure. (25:07) Remember when you used to have to like download music to like windows media player and listen to it on your phone, but you had, it like might work. (25:14) It might not MP3 players back in the day.(25:17) I remember I was snowboarding. (25:18) I smashed mine when I fell, but I used to have to download the music, put it on there. (25:22) Yeah.(25:23) It's a whole thing, man. (25:24) Yeah. (25:25) It's weird.(25:25) It's a weird time. (25:26) If you're 24 years old, you, yeah. (25:28) You don't know how weird it was.(25:30) If you're 20 years old, you definitely know, but now I sound like an old man. (25:34) All right, cool. (25:36) Anything you want to add before we go?(25:38) What hats do you have to wear every day? (25:42) And then what hats can you get rid of? (25:44) What hats can you get rid of that were never really you?(25:47) Maybe it was a mask. (25:47) Maybe it was a facade. (25:48) Maybe it was something you had before that you needed to be at work or whatever.(25:54) Uh, what hats matter to you? (25:56) What hats do you have to wear and what ones can you get rid of so that you can be more of you? (26:04) If one of the hats you wear is an intellect or a bookworm or whatever it is, whatever you, whatever you label it as book club every single Saturday, 1230 Eastern time.(26:14) If one of them is a community builder and or participant, we have next level nation, private Facebook group. (26:22) And we have a bunch of other stuff if you're trying to get to the next level. (26:25) So we can have the link in the show notes for that and the website and all that happy jazz.(26:28) Anything before we go? (26:29) The point of NLU is next level.
