welcome to the first episode of Open to Evolve. My name is John and I'll be your host through this podcast series. I'm excited to go down this journey with you of diving into the minds of high performing individuals throughout the course of the series will get a deeper understanding of what habits and ways of thinking make these individuals so successful in the respected industries. The first series of the podcast will be called E P Local Players, where I will interview high performing individuals in different industries from my hometown of a paso to kick off the Siri's. I will be starting with an individual by the name of Carlos Sandoval, also known as Native called a Solar Sails leader. Motivational influencer, proud father and brand ambassador for Azoff recently featured on Kate on a K. Foxx segment to share a short piece of his unique story. I apologize in advance for the rough audio on this first episode. I'm currently traveling back and forth between cities, causing a hectic schedule, but I didn't want to delay the conversation any longer, so I took advantage of meeting with Carlos at a local coffee shop. I hope you gain as much of a valley from this conversation as I did by getting a chance to listen to Carlos unique story and strong mindset. I also know that you're starting your own block. You want to talk about that a little bit? Yeah. Yeah. So I, uh

spk_1:   1:11
I've always just felt like I wanted Thio push my story or get motivation inspiration out there. I've always had a lot to say and a lot has been one of the ways I've been trying to push it right now I'm doing blogging as far as you two goes. I messing with talk of

spk_0:   1:29
instagram stories has

spk_1:   1:30
been really big Some. Right now, the log is a focal point, but I'm just trying to get my message out the best way

spk_0:   1:36
possible. Okay. Um, so, yeah, like I could different different types of content out on different. That's it. That's kind of like social media presence. What do you want? The message to be here. Out of all the constant that you're putting out, What's the primary focus that you're trying to accomplish? Um, well,

spk_1:   1:58
I I'm just a firm believer in leaving more than you take in this world, so I'm just trying to use my situation as a positive impact on others. So that's that's kind of my mission is to help others in whatever way. Some people need

spk_0:   2:16
motivation dailies. People need inspiration daily, something going through exactly what I'm going through. I always like to

spk_1:   2:23
say there's people that have their own absolute balls, but there's people that have their own cerebral palsy, their own disability, whether it's his full mental spiritual, whatever the case may be. And I just want to like a beacon of life in their situation, because I know there was a sense of my life where I just needed that little push. And if somebody's going through their instagram or top YouTube Facebook and they just say something from me that helps him have a better day than I. Definitely that's definitely

spk_0:   2:54
I think I've seen you accomplish that. I started to see you really get take off around the city and people start seeing what you have to offer. So that story has developed over the past couple of years. Looking back at maybe, let's say, at the beginning of 2000 10,011 was Cardinal Spectrum 2000

spk_1:   3:14
were talking like almost a decade ago Carlos Waas A kid full of energy and full of I mean, I I probably in two

spk_0:   3:26
1011. I just kind of

spk_1:   3:28
hit my stride for is kind of what waas any kind of coming to terms with who I waas physically kind of deciding who I waas spiritually emotionally. So back then I knew I wanted to definitely get out in the world and be a positive impact, but I don't really know how I could just say I was just very, very veterans and full of life. I was still trying to find myself.

spk_0:   4:00
Okay, Yeah. Can you tell me a little bit about how you started seeing that development? A CZ We mentioned you have a couple of brands that you pursue your name correspond with a couple of things that projects you're working on. So how has that journey from being that person trying to find yourself too? Now you seem really comfortable with where you are. You seem really comfortable with what you're trying to create confusion you're trying to accomplish. What was that development throughout

spk_1:   4:22
the last couple of years? I'm not gonna lie was in tow smooth sailing. I mean, there was a lot of murky waters. There was a lot of a lot of mess ups, a lot of triumph.

spk_0:   4:33
A lot of times where I

spk_1:   4:35
was like, Okay, this is it. I figured out what was. I made it to just passionate burning the next next couple months. So it's been

spk_0:   4:43
a lot

spk_1:   4:44
of trial and error learning who I am. I think a lot of times were influenced by the world. So there were times where I was being myself and then other times where I was trying to please others. But yeah, it's been a lot of up and down for me to be successful the way I'm now. I've had to fail a lot by a lot. I mean, I'm not talking just like all miss appear like I'm talking where I didn't know how I was gonna get out of it. But I think that's also part of your journey is I tried everything. I tried to help people in certain ways. I tried to help myself in certain ways, and I think I'm so

spk_0:   5:24
wise now

spk_1:   5:25
because I've learned what doesn't wear so that makes you know what does

spk_0:   5:29
knowing your story and knowing like you're mentioning that journey that you've had to go through. I think today's time and age, especially a lot of the younger generation. There's a lot of instant gratification that's wanted in life, right? So what would be your advice as faras Some of those hurdles that you went through being able to get back up and knowing that Hey, this isn't the end. There is a brighter side of I keep pushing it, understanding that you might not always make the right choice. But it was a step towards the direction that you want to get something that

spk_1:   5:54
you wanna get. Yeah, well, I think I think it's just taking ownership. You know, a lot of times we want to take ownership for winds Way want Thio were successful in everything. It's Oh yeah, we did it self made. I did it.

spk_0:   6:08
No one and

spk_1:   6:09
everyone was against me. But then when we mess up, we don't want to own it. We mess up one of blame everybody else, and I think that's what I would do. My winds were great, I guess. Look at me. I did this on I'm soft made and I overcame CP policy for those I don't know and look at me. But then the times that I would fail, I found myself, especially when I was in my toxic part of my life. I would say, Oh, while the reason that I'm not successful this time is because of the world and not because of me, you know? So I think once I really started taking ownership, Uh, I'm not blaming the world for my problems is when I started becoming more successful because I literally looked at like, Hey, you know what the controlling factor in life was? Me, You know, if I wake up and make some money like that, I mean, if I wake up and I don't make money baskets with me and I think when you it's kind of like when you own the failures, your winds become that much greater on have more substance to them. So that's been my biggest advice is own your shit, you know, own like on your ship. You know, don't don't shy away from your failures. Like, be part of it. Be like, yeah, You know what? Like for me right now, everyone sees Oh, It's all good, you know, I made it on the news. I'm in decent shape now. I'm making money. But negative on my account. There were times where I was making bad choices in life, and once I started owning them, that's when that's when she changed. So that's my biggest advice.

spk_0:   7:37
So I think you hit on. Really. A lot of people get a victim. It's mentality right on. One thing that I've uses his perspective a lot and seeing some of these videos, motivational speakers, things like that. You see that a lot of people have maybe gone through a lot worse. Yeah. In your situation, you talk about everybody, has a cerebral close your situation. I admire you a lot because of the story. We got to hear a little bit about it on K thoughts, right? Yeah. Fighting through it, being told that maybe you were gonna be able to walk

spk_1:   8:02
in again gauge going through the pain and the rehab and everything that you did to

spk_0:   8:06
get where you are. Not a lot of people would have

spk_1:   8:08
the mindset to be able to overcome something. You

spk_0:   8:11
did it at a young age. So you think that drive that you've had has been with you since you're young. It's just you've had to tailor

spk_1:   8:17
it to really put it in the right direction when you want to get there. It's something that just kind of developed as you continue to go. I think a little bit of both developed character trades and build myself up. But one of the biggest things for me was my support system. I was blessed to have great parents, parents. I didn't take no for an answer. They didn't, you know, they didn't give me the victim. I mean, I honestly I remember, like, really the first time that I really started getting pick on was in middle school and because before that I was at it elementary school where I grew up with these kids and they, you know, kids are fighting like kids are basically kind of How could I see it cultured in a way. So these kids grew up with me, so I like the way I was. I was, I was. I walked funny, wore braces, I was chubby and they just kind of got used to it. And I felt like I was normal like I knew

spk_0:   9:17
it was

spk_1:   9:18
different, but no one treated me different. Once I got to middle school, people really started making fun of me. And I went to complete a this crazy depression because I basically was like, Hey, wait a minute. Like I grew up with these kids like me, But then I went to a new school. Kids don't like me, and I really started seeing, like, how much different I waas. But nonetheless, you know, my support system was always my parents on time going on Like I learned the lesson. I learned lessons by by having them behind me. My dad told me, You know, you're probably gonna be the worst on the team or you're gonna be slow, are you probably won't get pig, but go like, even like football thinking. I mean, my parents, you that probably wasn't gonna get on the team where it probably wasn't good for me, but they still let me go through it. And I think that's so important because I think if they had tried to protect me, which I think a lot of parents do nowadays, they protect you wanna protect the kids from what the real world is. I think I would be completely different. So that's a big, big push from my parents the way they raised.

spk_0:   10:26
So I think that relates. You hear a lot about it. Now that parents are kind of pushed, everybody gets a trophy type of mentality, right? So now kids aren't able to feel what it means. They live out of the time is the best. Andi, think another thing that you did for us experience is nothing more than anything. Bring a lot of Oh yeah, You being able to go through this experience is a football or whatever sport you're going through, even though you might not make

spk_1:   10:50
it seem like a built shoot, you understand what you're going through kind of just see a different perspective of being in that. Oh, yeah, definitely. And I'm being one of the biggest stories. Like I was talking to my dad a few days ago. One of the key points in my life was way what I wanted to play baseball and way wanted to coach pitch. I think I did okay, T ball. Once he got to coach page, I mean, it was completely different back then. I couldn't really move the way I was now. But nobody wanted picking for a team like known what? Taking on and my dad basically, like you got my cousin who was living with us at the time, and he basically said, Screw it. You know, if you're not gonna take like my son, then I'm gonna make my own team. So my dad made his own team, and literally, my dad took in all the rejects, like all the people, the kids I couldn't get on the team that, like, suck or whatever. My dad just took a bit and we had a team. And that's kind of like been a defining moment for my dad. Basically said, like, look like fuck all you guys like, I'm gonna find a way for my son to have the same experience as everyone else Whether he wins or not doesn't matter. But I want to experience that because my dad did that. That's my mentality is always like people tell me, Know what people say? It's not possible, like I'm like ignorant toe fault. Sometimes I'm like, not like I could do it like I don't know how I'm gonna do it but I'm gonna find a way to do it. And so that's I mean, key points like that in life made a huge difference for why I'm not even to this day, you know what I mean? So it's a huge. It's a huge thing. And I think that's what I want to be, um, touching based on, like my vlog and stuff because I know, like what about what? If there's a kid like me out there that doesn't have that support system, you know, then that's a defining moment in life, and nobody is there to help them and support them. Then they're gonna be completely different. I might have been a completely different person if my parents are just protecting

spk_0:   12:42
me all the time,

spk_1:   12:43
from everything I would've got to the real world, and there's nobody here to protect me, so that's very important, and that's what extension I want to be. I was blessed to have that, and I want to be that for other people as well Social media. I mean, it's incredible, like it's almost like one big conscience. We're all just hanging out with each other on their phones, you know, So I can be in front of someone's face. Help them. That's

spk_0:   13:05
talking about social media. You just mentioned. You want to be that support system? Yes. Say someone doesn't have it. Do you think people run the risk right now? Just trying to compete too much with others on, especially the younger generation. Or maybe someone that's in a depressed mind. Someone you see what's going on through social media. You see, the good. A lot of people don't put the bad right. I might not be going through what they what. They might not be telling the full story on that story. So a lot of people tend to compare themselves, and that puts him in the worst place. But I'm not doing as good as him. So how have you been able to shield a lot of that off? Because City, Unfortunately, that has a lot of support. But it also gives a lot of backlash from there. Some success, right, having to navigate through that and continue where you're at right now. How have you been able to ignore a lot of that? And you want to be a nice for

spk_1:   13:49
someone else? It's tough. I mean, I still go to that daily. You know, like I mean, even for me, because, for example, like my legs on my muscles, like won't grow as much. Is somebody else's legs on their muscles and we're putting in the same amount of time in the game. So I'm constantly comparing myself to that. I mean, in every everything, like walking into a room. People look at me and I'm trying to be like the most normal in the room. But everybody's looking social media, you know, you go through your phone and like, Yeah, you're constantly comparing yourself to others Me more so you know, something like times in life. I would always like a man. I could look like that guy, but my legs or I could I could have played ball like that guy, but my legs. And so I just started trying toe compare myself to those people. I think that's what gets you in a very negative part of your life, and that's what a lot of people are going to and what to be honest, even someone like me. You know, when I post a picture like it's not like I just like I'm getting tingles Sometimes these filters, I mean, it is what

spk_0:   14:56
it is. But if you don't know how

spk_1:   14:57
to separate that, you know, like when you're looking at, you know this. But I do like, yeah, you gotta really take it into the fact that it's It's official, you know. But for me, I just always have to remind myself, um, how the way I am now is having a positive effect on people. So I don't have to be anything other than myself. I think in times where I was, I was trying to be somebody else when I was doing the least for people, because I was just kind of becoming nice assistant. So I constantly daily you have to just take social media for what it is. But it's a battle I always claimed, like there's not one big ah ha moment for figuring everything out there Sundays to where I'm like, What am I doing? You look so much like, look at this other guy so much buffer like, why would people want to even look at you? You know? And so it's a daily south carries,

spk_0:   15:54
so we go from self care. There's also self development person. You said right now you hit on a point. There's not one Ah ha moment. Yeah, And right now, a lot of people I think are talented. I've seen a lot of people maybe take steps similar to what you're doing in taking direction and something passionate about. They're so scared. They're so scared that they're a

spk_1:   16:12
week, a month in and there's still no any results with the result that they want to see him,

spk_0:   16:16
right? How have you been able

spk_1:   16:17
to continue to push to build his brand, continue to kind of once again, Taylor to where that message is coming through. But you're still staying passionate about it, and I'm getting defeated about maybe you're not getting the results right off the bat for the engagement that you wanted to go through that I think it's I really feel up and like energy of people. So first things first. I stayed true to myself. I come to terms with who I am as a person. Um, how I walk, how I look, how I taught how tall I am. You know, I've come to terms with that, so I know who I am, and I feel energy of people for me, you know, it sounds bad, but gratification is if I know my dean and I post something and somebody like you know what, killing it, that energy from me. So as much as people are relying on on me for motivation, inspiration, I rely on people, too. So as long as I know that I'm helping somebody, whether it's whether I get one comment or whether I get 100 comments to meet, that's what keeps me around. What I mean. So, like, one of the big things is like there's this guy, this kid, his name's Chris. He's from the UK really know exactly where he's from. But this kid, like I have a connection with this kid like man, your inspiration. And I can tell him helping him. I can tell you there's been weeks were like No one says anything positive to me, but this one kid does. That's like all the energy, even if like I follow, the HASHTAG should deposit on Instagram and I'll be going strolling through and I'll see like a little kid and races, and they stood up for the first time. Dude, that pumps me up more than like even watching somebody deadly £600. Like I could give a shit about that. Like so my thing is just staying true to myself. So I keep myself surrounded like the cerebral palsy, like disability, trying to help others. That's keeping me true to myself. That's what I'm working my best. So that's what I really rely on. It's funny. People rely on me, but I rely on people so much more. They even realize I'm like, Yeah, like I'm inspiring you. But you don't understand what your comment or your life just did for me and then in turn, it makes me work harder than help them, and it's kind of like a boomerang effect. It's back and forth, is helping a

spk_0:   18:38
couple of things I want to add to that. We get a lot of people here. They have an important message, right and it might be something

spk_1:   18:43
in your situation. Where does benefit one person? I think they're so

spk_0:   18:47
caught up in having $201,000 in college, right? They don't understand that. I saw video once and it said changing one person is changing the world. You're changing their world and thinking about it that way.

spk_1:   19:00
You do make a difference. You've made a difference in a couple of these kids, and that's motivated you to keep going. But so many people just scared that they want to make an impact, that splashing right off the bat. Oh, yeah, they just never really sent message, right? Yeah, and it goes back to just comparing yourself to other people. You know, there's a there's probably a couple of influences that I follow, and I mean their impact is way bigger than mine. But even though there have hundreds, thousands of followers, whatever it's like, you said, like copy one person this change in the world because it's like that you help like I told that guy Chris something. And what if he goes on eventually to become, like the biggest influence or ever on me as a little tiny influence or influence for him to be huge? So I mean, I think, uh, I think that's really important to put in perspective like that.

spk_0:   19:49
So talking about that, that's your passion, right? Working on

spk_1:   19:52
what you're doing, becoming a motivational speaker. And of

spk_0:   19:54
course, we'll have to have a real life Yeah. You develop now into what I can see as a great salesperson coming from the sails back on myself and really taking ah, like into seeing how people do their job, the

spk_1:   20:06
consistency you have, the way you promote. And then yesterday, when we got a chance to talk at the gym, you mentioned something about becoming an expert. Yeah,

spk_0:   20:14
right. So I think that corresponds. Not just when you're in sales,

spk_1:   20:17
but anything you do. Try to be the best at what you're doing. So talk to me a little bit about that man you mentioned. You become an expert in any other passions that you've

spk_0:   20:23
had in the past. Now, where you're at, you become an expert at solar. So, yeah, How do you have a

spk_1:   20:28
mentality to just be the best at what you're doing? Just got to get obsessed with just, like, obsess over it. Just knowledge like No, no, It all the way. No, it all the way through, You know, like I mean, I worked at Costco for a long time, and I knew Costco, like the back of my hand, would research it. I would study it. I would talk about it I would be about in like Hosko became me like I was a walking hostile. Even to this day, I'm selling memberships now that I'm not even trying to sell memberships to start talking like a man, you know you get 2% cash back or I like shopping at Costco because I can return stuff. There's not an extra warrant you have to buy before you know what I'm selling it, but it's just because it's become part of me. So anything that I get into, especially I can get passionate about it. I get into a fully hosko was one of the things I knew. If someone shopped at Costco, they're going to save money. It's gonna help their families so I could get passionate about that. I'm really about helping people right now. Obviously, we're like soul go into people's houses like people literally telling me like I'm drowning dead, you know, like I'm not I don't want to add like another bill to my my budget, and I'm basically going in there and tell him Hey, guess what? You know how you're gonna spend, like $50,000.20 years on electricity like I can get it down to like 10,000. 15,000 did. And it's crazy, like I'm literally helping people so I could get behind that. And that's why I got into the field because I'm not like fucking people over. But I researched everything. I mean on my social media is like, I'll spend time just like searching folder searching the news articles Searching column panel works. I mean, I know I'll acknowledge like crazy, and I think I think that's really the only way to do anything in life. Like you have to be obsessed with that. Otherwise, you're just gonna get me

spk_0:   22:19
not for those that don't know, try to go through a party scene where we're throwing parties. Back in the day, he threw a lot of himself around a passive that translated to Costco, like you just mentioned not to solar. But one thing that I think that's really helped him has been the brand that you built. Yeah, so from when you were throwing parties, we knew you were promoting like crazy, right? Yeah, that developed into promoting Costco like crazy. And now that same expectancy is there with solar. And that brand has followed you and I think that's what a lot of people don't pay its entrance. Or maybe don't put enough time on is that you're putting so many efforts and hours into the job that you might be working that 9 to 5. But you're not building yourself what you're worth. Your brand you can take anywhere, whether Virginia careers or anything like that. So you think that's been really influential and a big part of why you are where you're at because you've been able to keep that following. People continue to see you grow through these phases and keep pushing out at a highball content where they said you're popping

spk_1:   23:14
up every day, every day I think it is. You know what I think? When people think of me, they think like I'm reliable, like the trust is there. I mean, back in the day was like, Yo Chester in a party of native party, like people go because they know it's gonna be good.

spk_0:   23:30
And it was gonna be a good party. Yeah,

spk_1:   23:31
people so like oh catch as a hostile when they sign Kostal. Well, you know what? She has been wrong so far. I mean, there's literally people where I parted with their I sold them a Costco membership. And then I saw the soldier, and if I probably sold freakin dirt, they would buy dirt for me because trust is there. So I think, Yeah, I think I've gone on a kind of built myself a brand where you could literally put me into anything and like, I'll be successful just because people know that I'm not gonna push anything onto them that's not beneficial to them. Whether they want to get drunk off her ass or whether they want to save money or they want to shop better. I think people are always gonna trust me, and he's hear me out. So I guess you could say that native cold brand is me myself just being reliable, you know? They're like Chad's behind it. It must be the real deal, you know? So identity had people like, Oh, you know what? I've looked in the solar. Really, Whitman. I mean, I see you're selling it now. You know how many words like, honestly, I wouldn't be out here doing it if it didn't wear be selling cars. I've been selling furniture doing this, so I think that goes a long way, who you are as a person. It becomes not about the brand. It becomes about who you are. And I know I've literally sold sold to people because they like, like I literally had People were like, Oh, you know what? I'm not gonna like this other. This one guy told me like I'm not gonna lie. I would say docks The last time that we met, it was like, I really like you. I found you on Facebook. He's like So I actually lived through your stuff. Your daughter is adorable. I see that you're like a family guy. He goes, No, I really kind of still on the fence about solar. But you seem like a really Santa guy, and you seem like you really work hard for your family and stuff. So that's going to do it. So people are literally will buy from you or be part of your life. Are how you because of who you are as a person and that system energy that you carry, You know, I was screwing people over like let's say I had a bad business ing and I start to bring people over. I'd eventually and I'll end up in the hole like that. So I think it's a huge part of whatever it is you're doing.

spk_0:   25:44
I agree, man. And coming from Paso once again, I think a lot of the local businesses that you see more successful cause the person behind it is a brand that's trusted. Yes, that's a person. Maybe that's well known in the city, a person that has a nice following or has a big falling in that sense, and it translates to their business. So just, I guess, advice that I would want to give and I'm sure you would agree is for everybody that would be listening is focused on yourself. Yeah, right. And you focus on the brand, that building focus on what you want to represent. Make sure that what men? Necessarily what you're posting. But the way that you're carrying yourself present what you're trying

spk_1:   26:18
to accomplish in the long run and try to have an idea where you're going. Oh, yeah, definitely. I mean, I think I think like it's always if it comes back Thio because I too, what kind of value you bring into someone's life. You mean like, Yeah, I'm selling them something. But maybe the person that I knocked on their door, you know, they ended up never had to talk to somebody in a long time. I mean, literally one time I was at a lady's door like she was crying because her husband died two years ago. She know what she's gonna do with bills. And she had, like, a crab. Yes, son was like a piece of shared smoking. Li like, what's the dad died just like he was us. But I basically told her, like, you know, I ended up selling her soldier after state money, but I can guarantee you 80% of our conversation was had nothing to do about solar. What it live we had to do was just like, you know what? When I was younger, I went to a lot of stuff on my legs, and I was like, kind of a rebel kid. He's gonna straighten up, you know, and ended up helping that lady in a way that I'm pretty sure that another salesman not gonna be cocky, but wouldn't have taken the time to do that. And I think it translate it translated over benefiting me as far as basis, girls. But I also sent good energy for her to like, Okay, maybe my sense is going through a phase, and that's gonna help her live a better life.

I'm talking about that. I mean, I think we understand coming from but in any in any situation. I think sometimes when you interact with people throughout the day, you don't know what that person might be going through before they walked in that door. What they might have woken up to that day. I've seen a lot of people be rude or like have ah, bad. Look, when someone walks in through those when I was running a sales team, they got here they come again. Yeah, And to me, it's like, Why do you gotta be like that? Right. And everybody should be treated the same way. And in sales, I mean, of course, you're trying to do your best to close a sale, make sure they bridge the gap and drop their guard. But just in general, like if you're gonna get a coffee shop right in the way we come in and that person is being rude or less or something it kills that experience, and it goes a long way. The influence and the way you might cause their data. Go. Just based on that one experience you had. Oh,

spk_1:   28:26
yeah, big time. I mean, even I mean you to me, that part of the reason I'm so successful is putting myself from other shoes. Clear example today. Like even this morning. I had a big close this morning at 9 a.m. And, um, I really need this close because I'd like to start up the month strong, you know? And I had a really good interaction with this person comes. I go and knock on the door. They don't answer, Call them. They don't answer to Saigon, you know, they're skipping out on the clothes, right? But I got in the car and then I saw it. I was kind of on my phone and I kind of saw them come out of the house, so they knew I was there, right? And then my head is like, why don't you just let me know what's going on? But at that moment, I almost it's almost like the world. I disliked everybody

spk_0:   29:13
like I was just

spk_1:   29:14
like you know what people are like. I just started getting really negative

spk_0:   29:19
and I had to, like, catch myself. You know, way had this

spk_1:   29:22
interview and you had to still put my trainees come and see me. They don't know I had a shitty day. So, like when you get that energy like you got to turn it around, disperse it in a better way in turn, always know that the way you act is energy that you're pushing on people. And if it's bad, like you're really affecting the world as easy we want to say we want to be a positive impact. Yeah, when you're positive, it goes on the world. But, you know, being on the platform that I'm trying to be on a lot of times, I need to know how to turn that negative energy into positive energy. So that's I mean, that's a example today. If I didn't know how to do that, I might have come into this thing like a crappy, or it might even told you, like, you know, what do they do it another day? And that affects you because you're trying to get this party guys going. That pushes you back. So everything we do has an effect. But our job is to like when the negativity hits you, you really want to be an Alpha leader. You gotta turn that around and make it positive.

spk_0:   30:20
It's reality, right? It's gonna be positive. Be ups and downs. It's not always gonna be a field with things that you're gonna get that rocky spots. So I think everybody just has to generally know how to turn it around. And I don't understand what you are. A lot of the time you just don't wanna face it. You kind of want finds the reality that would be negative. And then that just causes that stretched a little bit longer. Oh, yeah, definitely. So when it comes to self development, man, every day is about getting better, right? Especially in our industry. Every day you try to wear something new every day we're tryingto accomplish your goal, get a new target. So what are some things? Maybe that you have helped you get where you're at as far

spk_1:   30:54
as, like, self developed? Um, you know what? Just changing my environment reading. More podcasts are big, you know, I put basically try to put the tools that I need that I know that you're gonna help me in in my world. So, like when I wake up, you know, I want to listen to, like, the new future album, You know what I mean? But I'll put on the pockets, You know what I mean? Or like instead of watching TV, like, read a book, But that has to be on the daily. You have to constantly working on yourself, because I mean, like, we always go back to the ah ha moment. You could she hit a point where you're like, you know what? You read 20 books, and, uh, you listen to podcasts and you've made some deals and for real positive, and you start feeling like Okay, good. Then you start kind of like binging afflictions. I really don't like benefit you. You stop reading.

spk_0:   31:48
You can

spk_1:   31:49
actually regress. You know what I mean? So I think for me it's just changing my circle. The people that I talk to, people hang out with people that I have to like a boy because I love them. Even family members or close friends. I love them to death, but I know that when I'm with them, it's not helping me develop. And I know I have a goal and stuff, so I have to keep. I have to keep my circle of my tools around me. Positive. So one of the big things is like, Yeah, just just tryingto copy paste. What, like millionaires are doing what people in the podcasts are doing and stuff. That's what helps me develop myself every day. But I'm always very. I'm always learning. And then there's been times to where I follow people. I fall asserted way of life sort of thing, and I realized this isn't good, you know what I mean? So I have to take that out of my life. But it's just constantly learning every days, you know?

spk_0:   32:44
So you mentioned something about Netflix. A lot of people get really music and stuff like that, right? So I think that brings me back to word says where some people tell you, you gotta enjoy life. Yeah, and I do think that I personally believe there's a balance on that. But how do you tell someone that you're enjoying life a little too much?

spk_1:   33:02
There's really not enough. We're getting put in to get better, E I think you have to ask him a hard, hard question. Like, are you where you're at in life? Like Because I tell you right now where you're at right now you're going thio be that way for the rest of your life. Like, could you live with that most of time? We were going to say no. You know, some my thing is like balance is good. So I'm okay. You know, you just tweeted about Benji like the last season on Dexter Dexter making any money, You know what I mean? Like, it's that any sort of like So don't be mad when you can't pay the bills. If you know you didn't. You alleged time. So I think balance is good, but I also believe in will make excuses for anything we do. Like sometimes I'm so stressed. I'm like, I know what I made for sales, and I just want to go home and I just want, like, I want to show you know what I mean? Like, that's okay. And then as time goes on, I started making that a habit, and I don't balance it out. Then one day is like, Hey, the Bills do is like my job sucks like I need something consistent and it's like, Well, what were you doing with your time? You know? So I think I think people there's a time to relax, but there's a time to bust your ass, and there should be times in life where you don't have any relaxing time. I mean, if you're broke, you're sad, or if there's things that are like you're still living at home, you don't have a house hit. I mean, that means you need to keep working. You know, there's there's times through last time working like one of the big things people say, Oh, you know what? Work your ass off now so that later on, you can, like, soak it up, and that's what it has to be because we're only getting older. So if I'm trying to act like I'm retired, he's your time right now. You know how my gonna act later on in life. So I think there has to be some sort of urgency, and it is uncomfortable because, you know, you don't get to see everybody just like everyone's vaccine. People are just like chilling all the time. And I'm over here busting my ass on a Saturday, you know? And it's like, Yeah, but if you really look at it there, those people situation like, you don't want to be in that situation. Yeah, they just pinch a show. But they're living at their parent's house rent free. You know, making like no money. You don't wanna be like that, you know? So people that really get the glory and get the benefits are one's busted. That's and that's just the fact that, you know, even people that I see there are, like, always, like, social media stuff, like just kind of sharing like negativity. They're having a negative effect on people, too. So you don't want to be like that, you know? So

spk_0:   35:41
and I think that's gonna translate to self awareness. And what What I don't want people to think is that way. Want everybody to go out there and try to be a millionaire, right? Everybody out because I think that today you're gonna live a life that makes you happy. But you gotta be true to yourself. Are you living the life that you really want to live? Yeah. Not what? We're not necessarily trying to push you to live because I know you're really dribble driven. I'm really goal driven and ambitious to be something huge and life. But I know I have had conversations with people in there like, Dude, I'm cool with this. Isn't this right? Like they just wanted a small house with a nice car in front of white picket fence dream and they're okay with that? And it's like, Okay, but why are you doing the step for not to get to that life? So just self awareness is huge, right? Oh,

spk_1:   36:20
yes, upward is huge, and it's like you said, like there's some people that they make a freaking $500,000 a year there pressed, You know what I mean? They're like, it's like Gary Vio says. He's like there's a guy out there making $100. You're driving a Beemer doing coke all the time, satisfied. And then there's somebody out there making 40 G's a year, and they save up money and they do one vacation every year, and that's the life they want to live in. Their fulfilled. That comes on the self awareness. So I guess what we're trying to say is like, Yeah, we're not telling everybody like, Oh, you need to make six figures, You and shit. I think it comes down to self awareness. Like, are you where you like? Honestly, can you look in the mirror and saw himself? I'm happy. This is what I want to be. Probably most of time people say no. So my thing is okay. If not, then why are you not working hard to get you know it? You don't have any drive for that either than that's a deeper issue. Because yeah, there's been times in my life were like, I was like, I had $5000 I thought I was a millionaire like shit. I can I'm good here like I can live off Donald. Whatever. There's times where I've been hungry for, like, that six figure income. So I also respect the fact that not everybody and is not where you're at on the way to motivate people is also not to talk shit to them. So that's also another thing that I try to portray to because I know that people have told me to like, Oh, I feel like your posts, like, almost like talking to me. And I'm like, Whoa, I mean, I'm talking shit to you, but that there's probably something in you that's telling you, like, hey, resident, it's resonating like there's struck a chord, and that's good. And sometimes it is, like, kind of embarrassing. I mean, it is like, you know what I am like, I had a take back step back sometimes, too, when I was gonna have my kid. He was, like, down like, What am I gonna do? Like, I mean, not not people deejay, but like where I was, I was like, Okay, what you gonna You're gonna keep deejaying three nights a week, like and I'm gonna be able to see your kid. It's not enough money to pay the bills, you know, you're comfortable here. So I had to sit back and, like, I had to get yelled at by family members. You know, I had almost lose everything, including my child, to really like and be offended to the point where I was like, Yeah, you know what? This is not where I need to be, but I respect people that, you know, they're just They're not they're not where they want to know where they want to be, but they don't have the driver. That's part of life, that they're in my job as an influence or trying to do. Hey, man, like I know you're going to shit and I've been there. You know what? Let's change it like it's not. That's what I try to be. But yeah, there's different Perseid. I mean, there's people that misses me, and they're pissed off their matter. They feel like shit. I feel like a rude letter, but I like you. So I also face that, too. You know, it's like like you said, you won't see the good, but there's a lot of bad to it. I've lost friends. Family members are taught to me, and I have always It started like a little time. You start making little bit money change, you know, And then I go, Of course I've changed. I mean, why would I mean, why would I not want to change, you know, But it's just because I'm not on that level. I have friends. They're like, Man, you never come out, never party anymore with us, and it's like living like those people stopped talking to me because I don't make it out like they're offended that I don't make it out. And then I'm just like, Well, I have to work and they're like, Oh, well, I work too, Like you're just acting like your job's better than mine. So I think a lot of stuff As you grow, you stop being on the same level of different people. You lose, you lose a lot, gets kind of lonely. Sometimes it

spk_0:   39:57
doesn't. I think being younger, I never understood. How do you talk to the same people you know, be friends with these people for the rest of my life not being here looking back. And I'm pretty grateful to still be close to a lot of people that I was close to when I was younger. But you do see that separation right down. You start seeing that mindset, start switching, people start going in their own direction, which is great talking about Gary V that you brought up. He says you live two lives, right? The life that your parents want you to live, the life that you decide to leave, and I feel like a lot of people get stuck in that first way. Yeah, I never really are able to find themselves and really push to the next one. So we're coming pretty close to the end here. What's your advice to everybody? That's Listen, man. How did you first, what's the first thing to start doing right now to take the next step? Whether it's maybe there as far as you are right now in your career or they're just starting off? What's

spk_1:   40:45
the biggest thing I would say on your ship own? Own your failures? I mean, we're all failures. We all fail. Nobody. Nobody gets it right away. So just own on the good and the bad. When you own the bad, it's kind of embarrassing sometimes, like, kind of cringe, you know, like you don't look in America like That's really mean, you know. But when you do that, you see the Cree engineer like okay, don't want that anymore that l I took that failure, that bad action what I did I don't want that anymore. That's gonna make you better. But for us, it's always like covered the bad parts and only one look at the good and it's kind of like one of my managers. You always says it's kind of like the track, like everyone has your trash can and the trash gets full of fluid, and you, sometimes you gotta take it out, take it out and put it. But if you don't start to smell, it says to get heavier, heavier than you try to take it out in the back ribs and then the truck and it just gets worse. So it's like, Handle you shake. But that's my biggest advice. Oh, it's I mean, there's no no colder. It's nothing that people probably remember. But just on your bad stuff, be part of your failures. Just

spk_0:   41:56
can't take something that you can't exactly. Yeah,

spk_1:   41:59
you have to. You have to have to own it, and everything changes from there because I know that I own my bad stuff and I even now, like I'll be in bed and not just in jail like stuff that I did back then. Yeah, I'm never doing that again. That's good. That's good that I'm cringing because it would be bad if I wasn't cringing. That issue is when shits on fire around you and just

spk_0:   42:20
like chill way All have those moments and you're gonna look back and we're not. Everybody's gonna have those moments where we failed that we may be one in situations that we needed to, but you need to be able to build on them so it doesn't happen again. You understand what you learn from moment? I think that's a big reason we talked about way are we? Are we experience a lot of those bad situations when we were younger And now thanks. Thankfully, we're in a position where we're trying to strive for more. A lot of that is out of our systems. And we haven't been caught up in the scene that's going around this, right? Yes, perfect man. So I want to say thank you for you. Thank you for joining me today. You want to go ahead and shut out some of your social media, anything like that? You have followed

spk_1:   42:56

You should, but it's tic tac dot com slash native colt Twitter's also native colts. Facebook is also actually Facebook just search Carlos Sandoval the third.
