89: The "Zero to 100" Mindset for Achieving Ambitious Goals with Zero to 100's Brady McDonald

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,060
Hey, welcome back to the Kelowna
Real Estate Podcast.

2
00:00:02,060 --> 00:00:03,820
I'm your mortgage broker host,
Taylor Atkinson.

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,140
And I'm your real estate agent
host, Matt Glenn.

4
00:00:06,140 --> 00:00:06,480
Glenn.

5
00:00:06,940 --> 00:00:07,960
What's happening today, Taylor?

6
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,980
Well, as you can see by my
background, I'm tuning in from the

7
00:00:10,980 --> 00:00:11,700
big white cabin.

8
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:12,240
So yeah.

9
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:12,440
Nice.

10
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:13,260
Looks good.

11
00:00:13,260 --> 00:00:14,420
Yeah.

12
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,480
You recorded from here a few

13
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,620
months?
Yeah, we both have at different

14
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:19,020
times.

15
00:00:19,020 --> 00:00:21,060
both And you're right, man.

16
00:00:19,020 --> 00:00:23,080
It took me like 10 minutes to
find...

17
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:25,140
Some kind of room and light.

18
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,660
It's not the greatest for podcast

19
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:30,480
backgrounds, but you've managed to
do it pretty well.

20
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,160
Good for you.

21
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:31,260
Yeah.

22
00:00:31,260 --> 00:00:31,320
Yeah.

23
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,460
Only you're saying that because

24
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,340
you can't see my face.

25
00:00:34,340 --> 00:00:34,620
That's funny.

26
00:00:34,620 --> 00:00:34,720
Yeah.

27
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:34,900
Yeah.

28
00:00:34,900 --> 00:00:39,660
How are things going?
Good.

29
00:00:39,660 --> 00:00:42,840
Honestly, I have quite a few
listings right now and this action

30
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,040
on them is slowed, but I have a
whole bunch of people calling me

31
00:00:45,060 --> 00:00:45,980
preparing to go up.

32
00:00:45,980 --> 00:00:48,480
I am still quite bullish on 2025.

33
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:49,800
at least for sales volumes.

34
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,400
For prices, I don't know.

35
00:00:54,170 --> 00:00:56,770
I think it's probably going to be
the same, but I'm pretty

36
00:00:56,770 --> 00:00:57,190
optimistic about this.

37
00:00:57,190 --> 00:00:57,650
Yeah, I've had four mortgage

38
00:00:57,710 --> 00:01:00,750
brokers reach out over totally
random things in the past month.

39
00:01:00,750 --> 00:01:04,209
Generally, I don't really speak to
mortgage brokers or anyone other

40
00:01:04,209 --> 00:01:07,450
than just my wife and my dog and
my kids.

41
00:01:07,450 --> 00:01:10,890
What am I?
Am I not even here?

42
00:01:10,890 --> 00:01:11,410
Come on, man.

43
00:01:11,410 --> 00:01:13,750
You have forced conversations with

44
00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:13,950
me.

45
00:01:13,950 --> 00:01:15,410
Yeah, and all of them were like,

46
00:01:15,410 --> 00:01:20,070
November, December were my busiest
months in probably three years.

47
00:01:20,370 --> 00:01:20,930
Yeah, that's crazy.

48
00:01:20,930 --> 00:01:23,390
I just thought it was like

49
00:01:23,390 --> 00:01:27,950
something in the water for myself,
for you, why we're so busy.

50
00:01:27,950 --> 00:01:30,310
And this is Alberta, Lower
Mainland, and then two in the

51
00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:31,330
Okanagan.

52
00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:33,010
So yeah, pretty good sign that

53
00:01:33,170 --> 00:01:35,210
things are moving fairly quickly
historically.

54
00:01:35,210 --> 00:01:37,070
November, December is not a season
where houses move.

55
00:01:37,070 --> 00:01:37,930
houses move.

56
00:01:37,930 --> 00:01:38,070
Exactly.

57
00:01:38,070 --> 00:01:38,370
Yeah.

58
00:01:38,370 --> 00:01:41,350
I think December for real estate

59
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:44,010
sales was really busy.

60
00:01:44,010 --> 00:01:44,810
So that's good.

61
00:01:44,810 --> 00:01:47,490
It's good for us to see that.

62
00:01:47,610 --> 00:01:48,390
Give our fingers crossed.

63
00:01:48,390 --> 00:01:48,710
Keeps going.

64
00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:48,950
Yeah.

65
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:50,470
Well, today's guest, Brady
McDonald.

66
00:01:50,470 --> 00:01:52,170
Man, I absolutely loved having
this guy on.

67
00:01:52,170 --> 00:01:53,050
Canadian guy from Ontario, Barrie,
Ontario.

68
00:01:53,050 --> 00:01:57,210
If you don't know where that is,
I've personally been there.

69
00:01:57,390 --> 00:01:58,750
Awesome little spot.

70
00:01:58,750 --> 00:02:01,350
But he moved to the States and he

71
00:02:01,510 --> 00:02:03,010
goes all in and everything.

72
00:02:03,010 --> 00:02:04,010
He's scaling massively down there

73
00:02:04,010 --> 00:02:06,850
and some land acquisition type
stuff, building a business.

74
00:02:06,850 --> 00:02:09,330
massively into health and wellness
really like you know forcing

75
00:02:09,330 --> 00:02:12,850
himself into a lot of
uncomfortable positions like you

76
00:02:12,850 --> 00:02:16,610
know running 100 miles doing
saunas lots of workout different

77
00:02:16,610 --> 00:02:21,410
nutrition yeah just seems to be
like creating a really cool life

78
00:02:21,410 --> 00:02:26,230
for him and his family down there
as well as like donating time and

79
00:02:26,230 --> 00:02:29,430
money and energy to charitable
causes so if this show doesn't get

80
00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:32,890
you fired up to kick your ass in
gear in 2025 then nothing will

81
00:02:32,890 --> 00:02:34,570
Yeah, it was awesome talking to
him.

82
00:02:34,570 --> 00:02:37,470
He has really got a lot of things
going on.

83
00:02:37,470 --> 00:02:39,010
Also, his social media is like on
point.

84
00:02:39,010 --> 00:02:40,170
He's got to figure it out.

85
00:02:40,170 --> 00:02:43,860
Yeah, I was introduced to him a

86
00:02:43,860 --> 00:02:44,600
couple months ago.

87
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,540
was introduced to him a couple

88
00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:45,680
months ago.

89
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:46,940
We had a phone call.

90
00:02:46,940 --> 00:02:47,880
Obviously, this podcast.

91
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,560
It's done well for me.

92
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,780
I've been hitting the gym a bit
more and going for runs.

93
00:02:52,780 --> 00:02:52,900
I was going to say, your shoulder
is looking broader.

94
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:53,400
is broader.

95
00:02:53,540 --> 00:02:55,820
I wasn't going to say, is this big

96
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,120
white talking or what?
My shirt shrinked in the dryer.

97
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:58,520
in the dryer.

you.

120
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,060
All right, Brady McDonald, thanks

121
00:03:43,060 --> 00:03:43,820
for joining us today, man.

122
00:03:43,820 --> 00:03:45,020
I am stoked for this.

123
00:03:45,020 --> 00:03:46,440
Yeah, thanks a lot for having me,
gents.

124
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,860
Looking forward to this one.

125
00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:49,660
It'd be perfect to fire up the new

126
00:03:49,660 --> 00:03:51,380
year with an episode like this.

127
00:03:51,380 --> 00:03:53,880
So thanks a lot for coming, Brady.

128
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:59,820
Yeah, I love that that's where you
guys want to take this because the

129
00:03:59,820 --> 00:04:03,080
time to think about the new year
is not in the new year.

130
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:03,960
It's now, right?
Yeah, yeah.

131
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:06,840
Yeah, we got to end the year
strong so we can crush it.

132
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,480
Yeah, I saw when you finished and
I'm just going to dive.

133
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,690
I missed like our opening
question.

134
00:04:09,690 --> 00:04:11,010
I'll circle back to it.

135
00:04:11,010 --> 00:04:12,730
But I saw when you finished your

136
00:04:12,730 --> 00:04:13,170
100 mile race.

137
00:04:13,170 --> 00:04:14,670
I think Jesse Etzler gave a bit of

138
00:04:14,670 --> 00:04:17,709
a speech and he was like, hey,
it's not how you start.

139
00:04:17,709 --> 00:04:19,050
It's how you finish.

140
00:04:19,050 --> 00:04:21,380
And that kind of resonates with me

141
00:04:21,380 --> 00:04:25,280
right now is like I saw that post
about a month ago and I was like,

142
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:25,640
totally.

143
00:04:25,820 --> 00:04:26,660
If you finish the current year

144
00:04:26,660 --> 00:04:32,080
like crap and then you're going to
be like, I'm going to start in a

145
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:32,300
better place.

146
00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:33,620
You're not, you know, so you

147
00:04:33,620 --> 00:04:35,920
really got to like finish strong
to put yourself in that better

148
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:36,200
position.

149
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:36,480
Yeah, 100%.

150
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,440
How you finish matters.

151
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,740
He did that from stage.

152
00:04:38,740 --> 00:04:40,680
And the reason why he did that was
because one of his biggest

153
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,140
regrets, if anybody doesn't know
Jesse, Google him.

154
00:04:42,140 --> 00:04:43,440
He's one of the most interesting,
successful entrepreneurs in the

155
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:43,500
country.

156
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:44,880
He ran 100 miles and he regrets

157
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,300
how he finished like 16 years
later because he was just like,

158
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:51,170
you know, two guys, you know,
limping him over the finish line.

159
00:04:51,170 --> 00:04:53,550
And he's like, he had more in him.

160
00:04:53,550 --> 00:04:54,990
He looks back and he's like,

161
00:04:54,990 --> 00:04:57,010
that's not the way it should have
been.

162
00:04:57,170 --> 00:04:58,810
That's my memory forever of how.

163
00:04:58,810 --> 00:04:59,330
I finished.

164
00:04:59,330 --> 00:05:02,410
So it's like how you finish
matters because that's what you're

165
00:05:02,810 --> 00:05:04,070
going to remember.

166
00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:05,870
You might remember the start.

167
00:05:05,870 --> 00:05:09,310
You won't remember the middle, but
you will always remember the

168
00:05:09,310 --> 00:05:09,610
finish.

169
00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:12,010
That's true in all aspects of

170
00:05:12,110 --> 00:05:14,790
life, I think, right?
I've read quite a bit about that,

171
00:05:14,790 --> 00:05:15,690
that you remember the start.

172
00:05:15,690 --> 00:05:16,510
You don't remember the journey,

173
00:05:16,590 --> 00:05:17,330
but then you remember the finish.

174
00:05:17,330 --> 00:05:18,330
That's how you do it.

175
00:05:18,330 --> 00:05:19,670
Remember all experiences, I think.

176
00:05:19,850 --> 00:05:20,470
Make the finish matter.

177
00:05:20,470 --> 00:05:21,290
the finish matter.

178
00:05:21,290 --> 00:05:21,990
Yeah.

179
00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:23,090
There's a really good book.

180
00:05:23,090 --> 00:05:24,590
It's W -H -E -N, when.

181
00:05:24,790 --> 00:05:26,590
It talks about the timing of
things.

182
00:05:26,590 --> 00:05:30,910
Because we all worry about how to
do the thing, what to do, but we

183
00:05:30,910 --> 00:05:32,510
don't think about when we should
do it.

184
00:05:32,510 --> 00:05:35,130
And the when actually has just as
much impact as the what.

185
00:05:35,130 --> 00:05:35,510
Yeah.

186
00:05:35,570 --> 00:05:35,770
Yeah.

187
00:05:35,770 --> 00:05:37,780
Well, I'll try and circle back
into our original question.

188
00:05:37,780 --> 00:05:40,420
And this is kind of like how you
finish your week.

189
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,460
But we like to start our show with
what's your perfect Friday look

190
00:05:43,460 --> 00:05:45,200
like?
What diet, exercise, when you get

191
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,840
up, productivity for work, and
then a bit of fun leading into the

192
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:49,040
weekend?
Cool.

193
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:49,380
Yeah.

194
00:05:49,620 --> 00:05:51,720
So almost every one of my days,

195
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,140
seven days a week is the same, but
I wake up at 430 in the morning,

196
00:05:55,140 --> 00:05:56,540
have a quick shower.

197
00:05:56,860 --> 00:05:59,120
go out, make coffee, come in.

198
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,320
I got my journal.

199
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,500
So I do like five minutes of

200
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:02,780
journaling, which is just
reflecting on the previous day,

201
00:06:02,780 --> 00:06:03,760
setting intention for the day.

202
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,320
No, none of this woohoo stuff.

203
00:06:05,460 --> 00:06:08,040
It's really just about getting
better in something every day.

204
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,820
And then from there, I'll get
after my super important things

205
00:06:09,820 --> 00:06:12,940
that require my brain and like a
lot of focus time.

206
00:06:13,260 --> 00:06:15,080
And I'll do that probably to like
seven, seven 30 or whatever the

207
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:15,880
sun is rising.

208
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,600
The ideal day I go get in the

209
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,100
sauna, do a sunrise sauna.

210
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:21,720
And I'll get out of that, back

211
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,840
into the office, do my workout mid
-afternoon.

212
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:26,100
Right now, I'm in like build mode.

213
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:28,300
So I end up working till like four

214
00:06:28,460 --> 00:06:29,640
or five or six, sometimes into
seven.

215
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:30,560
I'll cook dinner.

216
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,360
Family comes home at 6 .30.

217
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,080
We do dinner together at the
table.

218
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,080
And then it's pretty much like
lights out for this guy.

219
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,920
It's like 8 .30, back into bed,
reset, let's go.

220
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,100
The interesting thing that's a
little bit different about me than

221
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:46,040
a lot of people is I do that seven
days a week.

222
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,300
On the weekends, I don't work as
much.

223
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:52,060
But on the weekends, I still wake
up the same time.

224
00:06:52,220 --> 00:06:53,760
Get in the office, do the exact
same routine.

225
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,680
Like priorities don't stop.

226
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,620
When you have goals, they don't

227
00:06:57,620 --> 00:06:58,760
stop on the weekends.

228
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,950
Obviously, I spend more time on my

229
00:07:01,030 --> 00:07:03,490
family on the weekends because
they're not at school.

230
00:07:03,490 --> 00:07:05,470
But the priorities in business,
you know, every single day, it's

231
00:07:05,650 --> 00:07:06,570
the exact same thing.

232
00:07:06,830 --> 00:07:08,710
Because those three hours a day,

233
00:07:08,850 --> 00:07:10,810
think about it, three times two
times 52 weeks a year.

234
00:07:10,810 --> 00:07:12,270
I'll get another month of working
by doing that.

235
00:07:12,270 --> 00:07:13,790
And, you know, you beat
competition that way.

236
00:07:13,790 --> 00:07:14,110
Yeah.

237
00:07:14,110 --> 00:07:15,210
You weren't always like this

238
00:07:15,470 --> 00:07:17,110
though, were you?
I have no idea.

239
00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:18,890
I'm just assuming like, what was
the catalyst?

240
00:07:18,890 --> 00:07:21,690
I've always had a really good work
ethic, like extremely hard worker,

241
00:07:21,830 --> 00:07:23,350
but the weekends used to be filled
with fun.

242
00:07:23,350 --> 00:07:27,290
Since I was like 23, had a pretty
big boat and we've got a 53 foot

243
00:07:27,290 --> 00:07:27,750
boat now.

244
00:07:27,750 --> 00:07:30,210
And so the summers, pretty much

245
00:07:30,430 --> 00:07:31,930
all the weekends used to be like
Thursday to Monday.

246
00:07:31,930 --> 00:07:33,910
And, you know, it would be work
hard, play hard.

247
00:07:33,910 --> 00:07:36,250
And we, you know, drink and
socialize.

248
00:07:36,250 --> 00:07:39,090
And so I had the intention to have
the same goal.

249
00:07:39,090 --> 00:07:41,330
But my true intention and my
projected intention, my true

250
00:07:41,330 --> 00:07:43,980
intention was, hey, yeah, I want
to be a great father.

251
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,200
I want to be good at business.

252
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,840
I want to look after my body.

253
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,240
But my projected intention was not
that.

254
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,500
I was getting drunk on the
weekends, trashing my body all

255
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:52,740
weekend, you know, not sleeping
good.

256
00:07:52,740 --> 00:07:54,080
And that destroys every other
aspect of life.

257
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,980
As much as it's fun, my true
intention, my projected intention

258
00:07:56,980 --> 00:07:58,000
were ready to whack.

259
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,100
But so the difference now is I

260
00:07:59,100 --> 00:07:59,680
don't drink.

261
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,120
My priorities, if it doesn't add

262
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,280
value to my family, my fitness
relationships or business, I just

263
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,480
won't do it.

264
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,460
And so that's why I, yeah, it's

265
00:08:06,460 --> 00:08:10,720
night and day different, but like,
this has been like, you know,

266
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,540
since March of 2023, since I
stopped drinking, everything

267
00:08:12,540 --> 00:08:12,660
changed.

268
00:08:12,660 --> 00:08:13,660
You know, I just got way more

269
00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:14,960
focused, you know, relationships
got better, obviously with my

270
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,440
family, with my kids, you know, I
just showed up in a much bigger

271
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,360
way to everybody, right?
If I can serve people more and

272
00:08:21,980 --> 00:08:23,480
then more just comes to you.

273
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:23,680
Yeah.

274
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,100
So I would say I've not always
been this way.

275
00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:28,240
You know, I love the not drinking.

276
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,600
The not drinking seems to be like

277
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,760
a societal shift because like I
was talking to my niece who's in

278
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:35,200
high school.

279
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,860
I expect her to be drunk every

280
00:08:36,860 --> 00:08:37,700
night and she's never drunk.

281
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:40,140
Her friends don't go out and drink

282
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:40,340
ever.

283
00:08:40,340 --> 00:08:41,820
Taylor had a nice party the other

284
00:08:41,820 --> 00:08:42,400
night, a fundraiser party.

285
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,700
Go there and I'm talking like I

286
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:46,840
have a non -alcoholic beer.

287
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:47,740
Everyone I talked to was drinking

288
00:08:47,740 --> 00:08:49,800
a non -alcoholic beer at this
party.

289
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,780
And I was just like, man,
something's happening here.

290
00:08:52,780 --> 00:08:53,920
And I think it's for the better.

291
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,380
Honestly, I know why is because

292
00:08:56,420 --> 00:08:57,800
there's been a few brave leaders
out there.

293
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,660
there's been a few brave leaders
out there.

294
00:08:59,740 --> 00:08:59,840
Yeah.

295
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,020
Everybody in the world's looking

296
00:09:01,020 --> 00:09:01,700
for a leader.

297
00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:03,130
I don't care who you are,

298
00:09:03,130 --> 00:09:03,530
including us.

299
00:09:03,610 --> 00:09:03,710
Okay.

300
00:09:03,710 --> 00:09:04,690
I'll tell you a story.

301
00:09:04,690 --> 00:09:07,390
We used to do masterminds in

302
00:09:07,390 --> 00:09:07,690
Florida.

303
00:09:07,690 --> 00:09:08,890
We'd have Canadians fly down.

304
00:09:08,890 --> 00:09:10,150
There'd be 20 or 30 Canadians fly
down from here.

305
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:12,630
We'd teach them about how to
invest in the U .S.

306
00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:15,430
and what strategies work, which
ones don't, how to get financing,

307
00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:18,070
all this stuff, right?
So we did about four of these or

308
00:09:18,070 --> 00:09:18,690
five of these.

309
00:09:18,690 --> 00:09:21,130
And at the end of the day, we'd

310
00:09:21,130 --> 00:09:22,930
always have social hours or hours,
right?

311
00:09:22,930 --> 00:09:23,610
It'd lead right into the night.

312
00:09:23,610 --> 00:09:25,450
We'd always crush a bunch of boxes

313
00:09:25,450 --> 00:09:26,610
of beer and a couple cases of
wine.

314
00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:27,490
Well, I quit drinking.

315
00:09:27,490 --> 00:09:28,490
Like, it's not planned.

316
00:09:28,490 --> 00:09:28,170
I just saw my future self.

317
00:09:28,170 --> 00:09:29,770
I'm like, I'm either going to die

318
00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:33,010
or my kids are going to act the
exact same way I am.

319
00:09:33,010 --> 00:09:34,990
So I quit because I wanted to
become a better person.

320
00:09:34,990 --> 00:09:38,540
So when I went to the next
mastermind we hosted, exact same

321
00:09:38,540 --> 00:09:41,260
thing, brought all the beer out,
brought all the wine out, invited

322
00:09:41,260 --> 00:09:42,520
everybody to do it, but I didn't
drink.

323
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,480
Guess how many beer we went
through the entire two days?

324
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:46,120
It was like five.

325
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,240
was like It's a testament.

326
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,000
So if there's leaders, and this is
why it's so important for all of

327
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,260
us to step up and do the right
thing because our kids are

328
00:09:52,260 --> 00:09:54,040
watching, our peers are watching,
our friends are watching.

329
00:09:54,260 --> 00:09:55,460
Although they will give us the
gears.

330
00:09:55,460 --> 00:09:58,880
I bet you that is going to work in
their brain for a long time.

331
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,460
And eventually they're going to
have the courage to say, you know

332
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,080
what, maybe I'm going to try that
at any beer too.

333
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,840
And like the alcohol thing is just
an evident thing, but like that's

334
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,520
true in fitness and, you know,
business and take being

335
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:08,260
courageous, doing hard things, you
know?

336
00:10:08,260 --> 00:10:09,940
Well, and it compounds as well,
right?

337
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,380
Like if you work out in the
morning.

338
00:10:11,380 --> 00:10:13,400
you're probably not going to have
a beer that night.

339
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,280
You want to eat something healthy.

340
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,580
You want to go to bed earlier.

341
00:10:16,580 --> 00:10:18,240
You get a better sleep.

342
00:10:17,380 --> 00:10:21,120
You want to wake up again earlier.

343
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,600
You want to like, everything just
starts to click.

344
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:22,980
Yeah.

345
00:10:22,980 --> 00:10:25,420
I really want to dive into a lot

346
00:10:25,420 --> 00:10:26,760
of that stuff before we do.

347
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,440
Can we just like high level your

348
00:10:28,660 --> 00:10:30,740
last kind of 10 years in real
estate?

349
00:10:30,740 --> 00:10:33,580
Obviously you started in Canada,
like just tell our listener a

350
00:10:33,580 --> 00:10:36,380
little bit kind of where you came
from and where you are now.

351
00:10:36,380 --> 00:10:36,540
Yeah, sure.

352
00:10:36,540 --> 00:10:36,840
Sounds good.

353
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:37,140
Yeah.

354
00:10:37,140 --> 00:10:38,820
So I grew up in Owen Sound,

355
00:10:38,820 --> 00:10:38,860
Ontario.

356
00:10:38,860 --> 00:10:39,500
Well, I was drinking probably

357
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:40,580
since I was 14.

358
00:10:40,580 --> 00:10:41,400
That was a pastime.

359
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,180
And I lost my license for drinking
and driving at 16, went to college

360
00:10:45,420 --> 00:10:46,100
at 17.

361
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:49,380
And, you know, my goal when I left

362
00:10:49,660 --> 00:10:52,720
the house was to make $50 ,000 a
year, because that's just to give

363
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,860
you a little bit of perspective,
what I thought great looked like,

364
00:10:54,860 --> 00:10:57,400
you know, that's kind of what, you
know, the world I was living in.

365
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,900
But I ended up, I met a guy that,
you know, worked for a company

366
00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:04,020
called Hydro One, he had a full
case of beer and a brand new truck

367
00:11:04,020 --> 00:11:05,980
every year, and he's making 100
grand a year.

368
00:11:05,980 --> 00:11:10,300
And my mindset is if he can do it,
I can do it.

369
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:10,520
Right.

370
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:11,840
This is really why it's important.

371
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,420
You're going to see this pattern.

372
00:11:13,420 --> 00:11:14,580
It's really important to be around

373
00:11:14,580 --> 00:11:16,920
people doing much bigger things
than you, because once you know

374
00:11:17,060 --> 00:11:18,900
it's possible, if it's possible
for them, it's possible for you.

375
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:21,800
And so, you know, in between first
year, second year of college, I

376
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,540
ended up sending my resume via fax
at that point for all the young

377
00:11:24,540 --> 00:11:25,780
listeners and got that job.

378
00:11:25,780 --> 00:11:28,260
You know, that was my career at

379
00:11:28,260 --> 00:11:28,560
this company.

380
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:29,940
I ended up there for the first

381
00:11:29,940 --> 00:11:30,900
four years as an apprentice.

382
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:31,620
And then I ended up running a

383
00:11:31,620 --> 00:11:33,980
training center that taught men
and women how to climb trees and

384
00:11:33,980 --> 00:11:35,380
rope trees down around the hydro
lines without killing themselves,

385
00:11:35,380 --> 00:11:35,600
essentially.

386
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,840
And so I was 12 years into that.

387
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:38,840
I was 30 years old.

388
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,280
I was looking for what was next.

389
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,700
I was looking for buying
franchises with my wife and

390
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:43,500
looking at storage, realized that
costs way too much money.

391
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:46,960
Met a full -time real estate
investor, realized, hey, if he can

392
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,330
do it, I can do it.

393
00:11:48,330 --> 00:11:49,490
The guy was making about a million

394
00:11:49,490 --> 00:11:51,630
bucks a year in cash flow,
mortgage pay down, appreciation.

395
00:11:51,630 --> 00:11:54,110
And, you know, we did a bit of
research.

396
00:11:54,110 --> 00:11:57,390
We read a book and just kind of
really dug into it and burned our

397
00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:59,030
first property in 2014.

398
00:11:59,110 --> 00:12:00,310
2015, we're like, hey, we proved

399
00:12:00,310 --> 00:12:00,490
it.

400
00:12:00,490 --> 00:12:01,090
It works, right?

401
00:12:01,090 --> 00:12:03,310
Because we did have the corporate
background, I understood systems

402
00:12:03,310 --> 00:12:03,570
and processes.

403
00:12:03,570 --> 00:12:05,790
And I mean, I did all the

404
00:12:05,970 --> 00:12:06,910
renovations myself, burned the
candle at both ends.

405
00:12:06,910 --> 00:12:07,770
And I started hiring people.

406
00:12:07,770 --> 00:12:09,810
You know, we picked all the same

407
00:12:09,810 --> 00:12:10,870
paint colors and like
systematically did all the

408
00:12:10,870 --> 00:12:11,050
renovations.

409
00:12:11,050 --> 00:12:12,790
And that first year we did about

410
00:12:12,790 --> 00:12:13,150
eight properties.

411
00:12:13,150 --> 00:12:14,670
We ended up flipping about 25 to

412
00:12:14,670 --> 00:12:18,310
30. 30 % of all the properties we
did, but they're always the same

413
00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:18,670
strategy.

414
00:12:18,670 --> 00:12:19,750
We became experts at duplex

415
00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:21,810
conversion, some of the first ones
in Ontario to do that.

416
00:12:21,810 --> 00:12:25,290
And then we ended up doing a ton
of duplexes plus coach houses.

417
00:12:25,390 --> 00:12:26,430
So detached accessory dwelling
units.

418
00:12:26,430 --> 00:12:27,750
We were the first ones.

419
00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:29,530
We did over 40 of those.

420
00:12:29,650 --> 00:12:30,730
We ended up doing a bunch of
multifamily ground up construction

421
00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:32,010
and a lot of entitlement stuff and
land place.

422
00:12:32,010 --> 00:12:32,870
So we did that.

423
00:12:32,870 --> 00:12:34,210
We did a couple hundred

424
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,400
properties, had a construction
company, property management

425
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,760
company, did everything through
joint ventures.

426
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,320
So we know how to raise capital.

427
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,020
We're not getting caught up in

428
00:12:41,020 --> 00:12:45,580
this promissory no land where a
lot of the bigger investors that

429
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:47,120
had tons of P note money.

430
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,140
You know, we did not get caught up

431
00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:49,900
in that, thankfully.

432
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:51,780
You know, so we scaled it through

433
00:12:52,140 --> 00:12:52,460
joint ventures.

434
00:12:52,460 --> 00:12:54,320
And yeah, it was really good to

435
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:54,600
us.

436
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,020
We came down to the US in 2022.

437
00:12:56,020 --> 00:12:58,160
And there's a whole story about
that too.

438
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,520
But that's when we decided when we
were done with tenants and

439
00:13:01,820 --> 00:13:05,040
toilets, and we would dive into
bigger deals and do self -storage.

440
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,140
We're into the self -storage world
today.

441
00:13:06,140 --> 00:13:07,860
It seems to me like something
shifted.

442
00:13:07,860 --> 00:13:09,900
Like you have these like...

443
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:10,740
moments in life that just catapult

444
00:13:10,740 --> 00:13:12,960
you into the next like adventure
or challenge.

445
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,040
So obviously something happened,
you moved to the States, you

446
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,240
really turned around on a health
type of thing.

447
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,200
What's the driver behind most of
those?

448
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,980
Like it's obviously being around
other people that are achieving a

449
00:13:19,980 --> 00:13:23,960
lot, but yeah, is there something
inside of you that just like makes

450
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,720
you?
shift that way i know that i will

451
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,940
outwork most people and i know if
i work whether i know what to do

452
00:13:29,940 --> 00:13:32,700
or not i will win eventually
because the other thing about me

453
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:35,800
is i just don't quit and that'll
end up putting me in the hospital

454
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,950
sometimes because i've done that
too that's ultra running but yeah

455
00:13:39,190 --> 00:13:42,230
so you know like when i look back
at it you start to say it's a lot

456
00:13:42,230 --> 00:13:44,190
easier to look back and stitch
everything together but in the

457
00:13:44,230 --> 00:13:46,850
book know that i will outwork most
people and i know if i work

458
00:13:46,850 --> 00:13:49,630
whether i know what to do or not i
will win eventually because the

459
00:13:49,630 --> 00:13:53,170
other thing about me is i just
don't quit and that'll end up

460
00:13:53,170 --> 00:13:55,690
putting me in the hospital
sometimes because i've done that

461
00:13:55,910 --> 00:13:59,770
too that's ultra running but yeah
so you know like when i look back

462
00:13:59,770 --> 00:14:04,910
at it you start to say it's a lot
easier to look back and stitch

463
00:14:04,910 --> 00:14:07,570
everything together but in the
book 10X is easier than 2X.

464
00:14:07,570 --> 00:14:08,610
That's another really good book.

465
00:14:08,610 --> 00:14:09,990
It's like, these are 10X moments

466
00:14:09,990 --> 00:14:12,050
where you literally like change
your entire direction, which

467
00:14:12,050 --> 00:14:13,390
requires a different way of
thinking.

468
00:14:13,390 --> 00:14:15,650
And so one of the big moments for
me, this was just in 2021.

469
00:14:15,650 --> 00:14:19,400
The very first time I quit
drinking, it was during the 75 day

470
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:19,700
hard.

471
00:14:19,700 --> 00:14:20,400
And so.

472
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,580
And that was the first time I ever
had clarity, true clarity for more

473
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,640
than three days, like one day
since I was 14.

474
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,740
And then the courage that came out
of that, like during COVID, I took

475
00:14:27,740 --> 00:14:31,960
my family to Costa Rica for four
months and we were still doing big

476
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,580
development deals and life still
was just amazing.

477
00:14:33,580 --> 00:14:35,760
And then when we came back in May
or April of 2022, they locked us

478
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:36,180
down again.

479
00:14:36,180 --> 00:14:37,900
And I'm like, this is insane.

480
00:14:18,060 --> 00:14:20,960
I said to my wife, we're in the
limo driving from Buffalo to...

481
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,580
home because that was the time you
fly into Toronto.

482
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:25,320
They put you in the jail, COVID
jail.

483
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,500
And I said to her, I said, listen,
like next year we're going away,

484
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:31,380
but we're going to the U S and
we're going to go scale life and

485
00:14:31,380 --> 00:14:32,820
scale business there.

486
00:14:32,820 --> 00:14:34,040
And when you have core values too,

487
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,560
which is a really guiding
principle for us is like, when you

488
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,580
actually say, Hey, these are my
core values.

489
00:14:37,580 --> 00:14:39,190
This is what I stand for.

490
00:14:39,190 --> 00:14:41,010
This is what I stand against.

491
00:14:41,190 --> 00:14:46,010
When you call yourself out and
say, I'm doing this next year.

492
00:14:46,010 --> 00:14:46,550
Right.

493
00:14:46,550 --> 00:14:49,150
And you start to always do what

494
00:14:49,150 --> 00:14:50,570
you say you're going to do.

495
00:14:50,570 --> 00:14:51,950
Well, when that time of the year

496
00:14:51,950 --> 00:14:54,430
comes around, you better get off
your ass and move to Florida.

497
00:14:54,430 --> 00:14:55,490
And that's what we did.

498
00:14:55,490 --> 00:14:57,300
Again, that's core value.

499
00:14:57,300 --> 00:14:57,900
Number one, we do the work.

500
00:14:57,900 --> 00:15:00,420
We do what we say we're going to

501
00:15:00,420 --> 00:15:00,740
do.

502
00:15:00,740 --> 00:15:02,740
We go above and beyond.

503
00:15:02,740 --> 00:15:04,760
Like, this is how I live my life.

504
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,360
And so it was like, oh, crap.

505
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:07,460
You know, we're going to Florida
now.

506
00:15:07,460 --> 00:15:10,900
And it's November, you know, and
we didn't know a soul, but, you

507
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:12,420
know, we were committed to it.

508
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:14,220
And we went all in and we

509
00:15:14,220 --> 00:15:18,800
literally drove, you know, all the
kids stuff in an expedition.

510
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:19,880
Didn't know a soul.

511
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,580
I just knew I was going to a

512
00:15:21,580 --> 00:15:21,700
mastermind.

513
00:15:21,700 --> 00:15:24,530
I'm going to try to figure it out

514
00:15:24,530 --> 00:15:24,730
there.

515
00:15:24,730 --> 00:15:25,470
And that's what I did, man.

516
00:15:25,470 --> 00:15:27,670
Went to a mastermind, met a couple
of people.

517
00:15:27,670 --> 00:15:30,610
I went to the next town and down
to Cape Coral, Florida and bought

518
00:15:30,610 --> 00:15:32,850
a bunch of houses in the first
like three weeks.

519
00:15:32,850 --> 00:15:33,690
And I got in so deep.

520
00:15:33,690 --> 00:15:34,670
I couldn't get out.

521
00:15:34,670 --> 00:15:37,050
Is that probably your MO is like,
you know what?

522
00:15:37,050 --> 00:15:39,090
I'm just going to like absolutely
sewer myself into this.

523
00:15:39,190 --> 00:15:40,390
I backed myself into a corner.

524
00:15:40,390 --> 00:15:40,470
Yeah.

525
00:15:40,470 --> 00:15:40,590
Yeah.

526
00:15:40,590 --> 00:15:41,490
I don't think I do that

527
00:15:41,490 --> 00:15:43,670
necessarily intentionally, but I
do know the only way to get

528
00:15:43,670 --> 00:15:45,430
something really big done is by
doing the work.

529
00:15:45,430 --> 00:15:45,650
Right.

530
00:15:45,650 --> 00:15:47,720
You can't analyze the idea.

531
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,220
You can't think about it too long.

532
00:15:49,220 --> 00:15:50,640
You just need to do it at the end

533
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:51,180
of the day.

534
00:15:51,260 --> 00:15:51,340
Right.

535
00:15:51,340 --> 00:15:52,920
And I have a method in trying to
get things done.

536
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,520
It's not rocket science, but at
the first, you're going to try to

537
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:56,740
get something done, whether it's
your first real estate deal or

538
00:15:56,740 --> 00:15:57,980
moving to Florida or starting a
company.

539
00:15:58,140 --> 00:16:00,840
You obviously have to have a
vision of what possibly this thing

540
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,400
looks like and then start
recruiting people into your world

541
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,320
that can start to make pieces of
this vision reality to give you

542
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:05,620
clarity.

543
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,640
Right.

544
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,620
And then you guys got to know what
is the next thing I need to do for

545
00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:12,880
us?
It was drive our ass down to

546
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:13,040
Florida.

547
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,310
That was the next thing I had to

548
00:16:15,310 --> 00:16:15,410
do.

549
00:16:15,410 --> 00:16:16,470
Next thing after that, go to a

550
00:16:16,470 --> 00:16:16,550
mastermind.

551
00:16:16,550 --> 00:16:18,470
Next after that, go and look at

552
00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:19,210
real estate, make offers.

553
00:16:19,310 --> 00:16:20,710
And it snowballs very, very fast.

554
00:16:20,710 --> 00:16:21,770
If you always just do the next
thing.

555
00:16:21,770 --> 00:16:21,890
Yeah.

556
00:16:21,890 --> 00:16:23,070
You know, you said something there

557
00:16:23,070 --> 00:16:23,370
too.

558
00:16:23,430 --> 00:16:24,370
Like it's almost more exhausting

559
00:16:24,370 --> 00:16:26,490
analyzing something than it is
just like making the decision and

560
00:16:26,490 --> 00:16:27,430
then figuring it out afterwards.

561
00:16:27,430 --> 00:16:28,690
Like you could spend months trying

562
00:16:28,690 --> 00:16:29,810
to like execute the perfect plan.

563
00:16:29,810 --> 00:16:31,590
It's just going to burn you out.

564
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:34,970
Whereas if you just dive into it,
you'll figure it out and like

565
00:16:35,770 --> 00:16:37,050
you'll waste less energy with a
better outcome.

566
00:16:37,050 --> 00:16:38,250
A hundred percent.

567
00:16:38,250 --> 00:16:39,390
Well, then you're going to get

568
00:16:39,390 --> 00:16:39,570
momentum.

569
00:16:39,570 --> 00:16:39,910
Right.

570
00:16:39,910 --> 00:16:42,980
And so the thing about this, OK,
so there's a whole thing around

571
00:16:42,980 --> 00:16:45,160
belief systems and how some people
are actually super successful and

572
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,600
the same people, the same talent,
the same resources and

573
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:46,920
circumstances aren't.

574
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,100
To me, it's really around your

575
00:16:49,100 --> 00:16:49,540
belief system.

576
00:16:49,540 --> 00:16:49,740
Right.

577
00:16:49,740 --> 00:16:53,320
So how do you create a belief
system that you can actually do

578
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,220
whatever you want to in life?
Right.

579
00:16:54,220 --> 00:16:56,180
And it's by taking action, you
know, doing something, getting it

580
00:16:56,180 --> 00:16:57,440
done, starting to trust yourself.

581
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:58,820
You're like, oh.

582
00:16:58,820 --> 00:16:59,920
Maybe I can do that 5K.

583
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:02,160
I was never able to run 5K.

584
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,860
Well, start by running half a
kilometer.

585
00:17:03,860 --> 00:17:08,400
Well, you do a half kilometer,
then you can be like, oh, I can do

586
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:08,859
one.

587
00:17:09,349 --> 00:17:10,010
Then you do one.

588
00:17:10,010 --> 00:17:11,650
You do that day over day, your
brain will start to believe, okay,

589
00:17:11,650 --> 00:17:12,490
I can do a 5K.

590
00:17:12,490 --> 00:17:14,030
You do 5K, you're like, I can do a

591
00:17:14,030 --> 00:17:14,390
half marathon.

592
00:17:14,390 --> 00:17:16,030
But if you don't do the first half

593
00:17:16,130 --> 00:17:17,230
K, you'll never create a belief
system.

594
00:17:17,230 --> 00:17:21,210
But this is so true, and I don't
care what it is in life.

595
00:17:21,310 --> 00:17:24,530
mentality has got me to run a
hundred miles, you know, take 26

596
00:17:24,530 --> 00:17:24,810
hours straight.

597
00:17:24,810 --> 00:17:26,170
I hated running and I still don't

598
00:17:26,170 --> 00:17:29,970
love it, but that's how you build
a belief system intentionally.

599
00:17:29,970 --> 00:17:31,530
You build trust in yourself by
doing.

600
00:17:31,530 --> 00:17:31,690
Yeah.

601
00:17:31,690 --> 00:17:34,370
I think I know the answer to this

602
00:17:34,370 --> 00:17:36,790
question, Brady, but what is zero
to a hundred?

603
00:17:36,790 --> 00:17:36,870
Yeah.

604
00:17:36,870 --> 00:17:37,890
It's a way of life.

605
00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:38,130
Yeah.

606
00:17:38,130 --> 00:17:38,890
You know, this happened.

607
00:17:38,990 --> 00:17:39,850
I was in Puerto Rico.

608
00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:41,850
So my very first high ticket coach

609
00:17:41,850 --> 00:17:43,550
I hired, his name's Michael Reese.

610
00:17:43,590 --> 00:17:45,660
He's a real estate guy at the EXP.

611
00:17:45,660 --> 00:17:47,640
I went down to see him in Puerto
Rico in 2023.

612
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,740
I thought I had this vision.

613
00:17:49,740 --> 00:17:51,380
I wanted to travel around the

614
00:17:51,380 --> 00:17:55,600
country and do all these workshops
and teach people how to go to zero

615
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,360
to 100 ,000 or zero to 100
properties, like really teach them

616
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:00,400
how to start investing in real
estate because the start of

617
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,060
everything's the hardest, right?
We all can acknowledge, hey, the

618
00:18:03,060 --> 00:18:04,620
first week of doing anything, a
diet.

619
00:18:04,780 --> 00:18:07,740
You know, getting into real
estate, running, it sucks.

620
00:18:07,740 --> 00:18:08,200
Life sucks.

621
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,340
That's the hardest part.

622
00:18:09,340 --> 00:18:12,180
And so that's why I think
acknowledging that and I was going

623
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,300
to help people get through that.

624
00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:16,300
Anyway, it turns out I didn't want

625
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:17,480
to do that because I don't
necessarily love real estate.

626
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,120
I'm not passionate for it.

627
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:21,320
But what I did was we created this

628
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,240
because Michael's like, Brady,
everything you do is zero to 100.

629
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,220
And he likes to connect.

630
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:24,860
Again, it's a life philosophy.

631
00:18:24,860 --> 00:18:28,240
And I think it's important for
everybody to have a life

632
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,940
philosophy because it's the way
you do life.

633
00:18:29,940 --> 00:18:32,300
The way you do one thing is the
way you do everything.

634
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:35,900
And if you can connect that to a
philosophy that holds you

635
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,140
accountable to the ideal vision.

636
00:18:38,140 --> 00:18:40,700
So for me, it was like, yeah, I go

637
00:18:40,700 --> 00:18:40,840
fast.

638
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,100
I go all out.

639
00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:42,300
Right.

640
00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:44,320
And it's like, how can I connect

641
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,620
that to everything I'm doing?
So then I, I ended up running a

642
00:18:47,620 --> 00:18:48,120
hundred miles.

643
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:49,980
So that was zero to 100 miles.

644
00:18:49,980 --> 00:18:56,420
My goal was to raise a hundred
thousand dollars for charity.

645
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,960
You ended up raising 85 ,000 for
children's charity on that one.

646
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,580
I realized that health and helping
people is my passion because I

647
00:19:01,580 --> 00:19:04,820
know for a fact, if you look after
your body first, your

648
00:19:04,820 --> 00:19:06,500
relationships get better, your
business gets better.

649
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,280
You become a better father, a
mother.

650
00:19:08,380 --> 00:19:10,040
you know, grandparent, better
leader, but it all starts with

651
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:10,340
your body.

652
00:19:10,340 --> 00:19:11,960
So then we started the zero to 100

653
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:12,300
day challenge.

654
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:14,220
And that's kind of like another

655
00:19:14,220 --> 00:19:14,840
thing.

656
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:15,760
It's free.

657
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,180
Anybody can go to zero to 100
.com.

658
00:19:17,180 --> 00:19:19,140
It's completely free coming onto
my webinars or we have

659
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,280
accountability huddles every
Wednesday and it's just helping

660
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,500
people get into their body.

661
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:22,980
That's awesome.

662
00:19:23,450 --> 00:19:27,370
You have two daughters, right?
Do you guys like have a life

663
00:19:27,510 --> 00:19:28,950
philosophy?
Do you meet at the end of the

664
00:19:28,950 --> 00:19:30,870
year, the beginning of the year?
How do you like create this

665
00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:32,390
culture in your family that you're
all aligned?

666
00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:34,390
And like, what is your kind of
goal planning look like?

667
00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:38,050
Do you have like a one year, five
year, 10 year vision?

668
00:19:38,050 --> 00:19:40,870
Obviously, you don't have to dive
too much into it.

669
00:19:41,110 --> 00:19:43,370
But like, what does that kind of
look like?

670
00:19:43,370 --> 00:19:44,330
That's a good question.

671
00:19:44,450 --> 00:19:44,590
Yeah.

672
00:19:44,730 --> 00:19:47,050
So I mean, I always like to say
going through life without a

673
00:19:47,050 --> 00:19:50,410
vision, or a vision board is like
going to the grocery store

674
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:51,020
blindfolded.

675
00:19:51,020 --> 00:19:51,140
Right.

676
00:19:51,140 --> 00:19:53,520
Like, you know, your wife tells
you to go get some dinner and you

677
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,240
go to the grocery store
blindfolded, bumbling through all

678
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,360
the aisles and you throw all the
shit in a bag and then you come

679
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:02,120
home and you dump it in the
island.

680
00:20:02,380 --> 00:20:03,420
She's like, there you go, honey.

681
00:20:03,420 --> 00:20:04,160
There's fucking dinner.

682
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,180
I feel like that's me every day.

683
00:20:06,180 --> 00:20:06,860
That's what everybody does with

684
00:20:06,860 --> 00:20:07,380
their life.

685
00:20:07,380 --> 00:20:08,340
what everybody does with their

686
00:20:08,340 --> 00:20:09,240
life.

687
00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:10,360
Like, how fucking dumb is that?

688
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:11,440
Another good one is like.

689
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:12,880
You know, you're going to a

690
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,760
destination, it's a dinner party
and you have no clue where it is

691
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,760
and you don't use Google Maps.

692
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:19,820
You would never do that.

693
00:20:19,820 --> 00:20:25,120
It's going to turn right and turn
left and hope you show up at your

694
00:20:25,420 --> 00:20:25,740
destination.

695
00:20:25,740 --> 00:20:27,000
But yeah, vision boards are

696
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:27,950
critically important.

697
00:20:27,950 --> 00:20:29,650
And so I've got one right there.

698
00:20:29,650 --> 00:20:31,070
We started our first one in 2014.

699
00:20:31,070 --> 00:20:32,330
You know, it looked like, you

700
00:20:32,330 --> 00:20:35,190
know, a piggy bank for our
children's education and, you

701
00:20:35,190 --> 00:20:37,770
know, a nicer backyard and like
some savings and, you know, some

702
00:20:37,770 --> 00:20:40,990
eating healthy and working out
with some of these things.

703
00:20:40,990 --> 00:20:41,330
Right.

704
00:20:41,330 --> 00:20:44,770
And so the next one we did was in

705
00:20:44,770 --> 00:20:44,910
2020.

706
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:47,230
I would say like 60 % of those

707
00:20:48,350 --> 00:20:50,190
things are the first vision board
we accomplished.

708
00:20:50,190 --> 00:20:51,830
2020, we did the exact same thing.

709
00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:52,750
One of the things on the vision

710
00:20:52,750 --> 00:20:54,410
board in 2020 was Canada and US.

711
00:20:54,410 --> 00:20:55,730
It was a blended.

712
00:20:55,730 --> 00:20:58,410
We wanted to move our company to
the US.

713
00:20:58,410 --> 00:21:00,290
Well, it took three years to get
that.

714
00:21:00,430 --> 00:21:01,990
And we don't look at our vision
board every day.

715
00:21:02,130 --> 00:21:04,210
I do actually happen to have my
2023 version here.

716
00:21:04,210 --> 00:21:05,890
But it's just when you know where
you're going and if you take

717
00:21:05,890 --> 00:21:07,610
massive action and never quit, you
will accomplish it.

718
00:21:07,610 --> 00:21:09,150
If you don't know where you're
going, right?

719
00:21:09,150 --> 00:21:11,790
Then like, how are you ever going
to get it?

720
00:21:11,790 --> 00:21:14,940
Anyway, so we do it, you know,
periodically every few years.

721
00:21:15,020 --> 00:21:16,800
You know, this one, I've got a
$500 million check written on it.

722
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,240
I've got literally four years,
four days ago to get after.

723
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,440
And so that's the company I'm
building right now.

724
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,300
And like there's, you know, giving
back and we do a ton for charity.

725
00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:25,680
And tomorrow, actually, we're
going to pay a bunch of layaways

726
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:25,980
off.

727
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:27,720
In the US, you know, there's

728
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,060
people that don't have money.

729
00:21:29,060 --> 00:21:29,060
They can go into these super

730
00:21:29,060 --> 00:21:30,400
stores like where they sell kids
toys.

731
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,640
It'll have like $100 or $200 worth
of kids toys and they'll go in and

732
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,320
pay 10 bucks at a time.

733
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,400
And on Friday is the very last

734
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:37,520
day.

735
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,840
If they don't pay them all off by

736
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,000
Friday, the money gets returned
and all the kids toys go back on

737
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,300
the shelf and they sell it all.

738
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:45,280
And so could you imagine, you

739
00:21:45,380 --> 00:21:47,640
know, being that parent that
couldn't come up with the extra 10

740
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,120
bucks or the kid where Santa
didn't show up, right?

741
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:50,840
You're sick for kids.

742
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,180
I love it.

743
00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:53,700
Yeah, we do homeschool here.

744
00:21:53,700 --> 00:21:56,680
So we're going to go and pay off a

745
00:21:56,780 --> 00:21:57,720
pile of lay waste.

746
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,600
So going to go and pay off a pile

747
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:00,220
of lay waste.

748
00:22:00,220 --> 00:22:01,420
Like you have to be intentional

749
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:04,100
about, you know, how do you make a
well -rounded life?

750
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:05,380
And so there's all these different
aspects.

751
00:22:06,260 --> 00:22:08,380
I'm going to probably do like a
little vision board workshop

752
00:22:08,380 --> 00:22:09,780
because I think it's important.

753
00:22:09,780 --> 00:22:11,780
You know, it's definitely given us

754
00:22:11,780 --> 00:22:13,100
a lot of clarity and a lot of
direction.

755
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:14,760
We do it every three years,
probably.

756
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:15,240
Something like that.

757
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,740
Are your daughters doing it as

758
00:22:16,740 --> 00:22:18,140
well?
And I'm asking because like a few

759
00:22:18,140 --> 00:22:19,300
years ago, I read Vivid Vision.

760
00:22:19,300 --> 00:22:22,540
I did it with a group of guys.

761
00:22:22,540 --> 00:22:25,080
And like, yeah, I think there's
huge power behind it.

762
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,420
And one of the things that we
picked out was like...

763
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,560
Why would you not do this at a
younger age?

764
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:31,440
It seems like such a good
practice.

765
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,920
Do you have your daughters gaining
traction on that kind of stuff?

766
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,080
Okay, so not officially.

767
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,040
My daughter now is 10, the oldest

768
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,260
one, and she's now getting to the
point where we could probably

769
00:22:41,260 --> 00:22:42,040
start doing that.

770
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,940
The other day, just to give you

771
00:22:43,940 --> 00:22:46,180
the reason why, I asked my
daughter the other day, what's

772
00:22:46,180 --> 00:22:47,960
your big goal?
Do you ever have any dreams?

773
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,320
She loves competitive swimming,
right?

774
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,200
An amazing pro swimmer or
anything.

775
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:51,740
She's like...

776
00:22:51,740 --> 00:22:54,380
Well, I had a dream last night.

777
00:22:54,380 --> 00:22:56,710
There was a monster in my bed.

778
00:22:56,710 --> 00:22:58,650
Seriously, I'm trying to be a good

779
00:22:58,650 --> 00:22:58,970
dad here.

780
00:22:58,970 --> 00:23:01,070
I don't know if we're quite there,

781
00:23:01,070 --> 00:23:01,890
but we're getting there.

782
00:23:01,890 --> 00:23:02,650
Yeah, yeah.

783
00:23:02,650 --> 00:23:04,050
Sometimes I think, you know, we've
asked some good questions.

784
00:23:04,050 --> 00:23:07,790
You know, what would you want to
be true in this year if everything

785
00:23:07,790 --> 00:23:09,290
went right?
And I think like we're getting

786
00:23:09,290 --> 00:23:09,470
there.

787
00:23:09,470 --> 00:23:11,010
I think it'd be a better thing to

788
00:23:11,010 --> 00:23:13,230
do maybe next year for at least
for where my one daughter is.

789
00:23:13,230 --> 00:23:14,450
The other one's four.

790
00:23:14,450 --> 00:23:16,590
So as long as Blippi shows up on

791
00:23:16,590 --> 00:23:19,010
the TV once in a while.

792
00:23:19,010 --> 00:23:20,490
Yeah, for sure.

793
00:23:20,490 --> 00:23:23,800
Do they ever question your sanity?
And I mean that in the most

794
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:30,500
respectful way, but are they like,
why do you get up at 430?

795
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:30,360
Why are you in this box?
that's really hot and you sweat

796
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:32,500
and why are you running like i
know it's like an amazing role

797
00:23:32,740 --> 00:23:35,480
model and an example and it'll
probably click for them and it

798
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,540
will like impact them really
positively But yeah, just in that

799
00:23:37,540 --> 00:23:41,600
like innocent mind, do they ever
come up to you and like, what are

800
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:42,820
you doing?
No, because it's normal to them.

801
00:23:42,820 --> 00:23:43,220
It's normal.

802
00:23:43,220 --> 00:23:43,420
Yeah.

803
00:23:43,420 --> 00:23:43,460
Yeah.

804
00:23:43,460 --> 00:23:43,560
Yeah.

805
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:44,820
Like, I mean, they don't know any
different.

806
00:23:44,820 --> 00:23:47,780
It would be like weird for them,
for somebody not to be running and

807
00:23:47,780 --> 00:23:47,960
exercising.

808
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,240
Which is so cool, right?

809
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:49,480
Yeah.

810
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:50,580
The coolest thing, man.

811
00:23:50,580 --> 00:23:52,260
And you know what?
So, you know, and the thing that

812
00:23:52,260 --> 00:23:54,420
really moved the needle for me
when I did decide to quit

813
00:23:54,420 --> 00:23:56,380
drinking, I wasn't a raging
alcoholic by any means, but you

814
00:23:56,380 --> 00:23:59,660
know, I was definitely using it to
like have fun, to relax, to like

815
00:23:59,660 --> 00:24:01,700
wind down and all of this stuff.

816
00:24:01,700 --> 00:24:02,100
Right.

817
00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:06,040
you know, like most of us do, but
I realized that whatever I do,

818
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,040
they're going to copy.

819
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,560
They're going to normalize that

820
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:08,840
behavior.

821
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:09,080
Yeah.

822
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:09,200
Right.

823
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,400
And so, you know, the running, the

824
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,780
exercising, you know, the strength
training, the eating healthy, the

825
00:24:13,780 --> 00:24:17,160
sauna, the ice bath, like it's all
just normal life, right?

826
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,320
You know, working our ass off,
donating, you know, to people,

827
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,580
helping other families, like
that's just normal.

828
00:24:22,580 --> 00:24:26,970
So it'd be like more weird if like
I sat there and watched sports all

829
00:24:26,970 --> 00:24:27,070
day.

830
00:24:27,070 --> 00:24:31,450
they'd be like, what the hell's

831
00:24:32,330 --> 00:24:33,810
wrong with you?
Why are you doing this today?

832
00:24:37,770 --> 00:24:38,210
Yeah.

833
00:24:38,210 --> 00:24:39,430
You're creating like a real life

834
00:24:39,550 --> 00:24:44,010
vision board for them, right?
Like you're just like setting them

835
00:24:44,010 --> 00:24:44,490
up for success.

836
00:24:44,490 --> 00:24:45,750
Just on that note, on that note,

837
00:24:45,750 --> 00:24:48,330
like I actually just had a
conversation with her teacher, a

838
00:24:48,330 --> 00:24:50,970
homeschool teacher comes into the
house because we do have our

839
00:24:50,970 --> 00:24:52,530
responsibility to know their
talents and to know, okay, like as

840
00:24:52,530 --> 00:24:53,630
a, just a prime example.

841
00:24:53,630 --> 00:24:55,230
So she loves to swim and there's

842
00:24:55,230 --> 00:24:56,290
two ways to do swimming.

843
00:24:56,290 --> 00:24:57,910
I could just let her be, you know,

844
00:24:57,910 --> 00:25:02,030
average, which average kids just
go to swim class every day.

845
00:25:02,030 --> 00:25:06,730
Or I could know that it's going to
be a lot better for her to go and

846
00:25:06,730 --> 00:25:08,090
work out twice a week with a
personal trainer.

847
00:25:08,090 --> 00:25:10,080
Either way, she thinks it's fun.

848
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,600
Either way, she doesn't know any

849
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:11,680
better.

850
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,860
But as a parent, I know if I do

851
00:25:13,860 --> 00:25:17,240
these two things for her, there's
a chance that she's probably going

852
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,480
to go to university in it.

853
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:18,760
Right.

854
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,030
But that's such an example in
fitness.

855
00:25:21,030 --> 00:25:23,310
But like that is true in eating,
you know.

856
00:25:23,310 --> 00:25:25,810
in communicating, you know, being
able to present to adults at the

857
00:25:25,810 --> 00:25:28,530
age of 10 or 11, like we can set
them up for huge success in

858
00:25:28,530 --> 00:25:28,730
business.

859
00:25:28,730 --> 00:25:30,270
Like our parents didn't do this

860
00:25:30,270 --> 00:25:31,050
shit for us.

861
00:25:31,050 --> 00:25:31,350
Right.

862
00:25:31,350 --> 00:25:31,650
Yeah.

863
00:25:31,650 --> 00:25:33,690
Well, and it's like you said, like

864
00:25:33,690 --> 00:25:36,030
earlier in the show, just because
you see somebody else doing it,

865
00:25:36,030 --> 00:25:37,070
like you can do it as well.

866
00:25:37,070 --> 00:25:38,530
And like, you know, there's no

867
00:25:38,530 --> 00:25:40,610
reason kids can't accomplish more
or not even accomplish more, but

868
00:25:40,610 --> 00:25:42,430
just like do whatever they want
to, you know?

869
00:25:42,430 --> 00:25:42,450
Yeah.

870
00:25:42,490 --> 00:25:43,650
I've heard this question before

871
00:25:43,650 --> 00:25:47,490
where people are like, you know,
do you have any regrets?

872
00:25:47,490 --> 00:25:49,300
Like, have you changed anything
about your life?

873
00:25:49,300 --> 00:25:51,280
And everyone's normally like, oh,
I would have started earlier.

874
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,400
I would have changed.

875
00:25:53,540 --> 00:25:54,460
I'm curious what your answer would

876
00:25:54,460 --> 00:25:59,140
be, because I take it you're a guy
that doesn't have many regrets and

877
00:25:59,140 --> 00:26:00,580
probably learned lessons through
hard things.

878
00:26:00,580 --> 00:26:03,840
So, yeah, what's your position?
Like, would you have changed

879
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,840
anything in the last 10 years?
Or are you like you're here

880
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,200
because of those previous?
struggles or anything you went

881
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,680
through?
Yeah, I would say, no, I do regret

882
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,400
like not quitting drinking earlier
now.

883
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,700
Cause that's the one thing that
significantly has changed my life.

884
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:19,780
Like, I mean, like you can't
compare and everybody says this

885
00:26:19,780 --> 00:26:22,320
when they do it, it significantly
changes everything.

886
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,120
And so that's probably one thing
I, you know, I wish I had started

887
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:25,820
real estate earlier.

888
00:26:25,820 --> 00:26:26,980
Cause you know, if I started 10

889
00:26:26,980 --> 00:26:29,140
years prior, then, you know, I'd
have a fleet of jets and, you

890
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,680
know, not hoping to buy one one
day.

891
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,140
Honestly, it's just the dude I
lived with regret.

892
00:26:33,140 --> 00:26:35,520
on Mondays, you know, wishing
like, why did I do that?

893
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,680
And then, you know, it happens
every week.

894
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,240
So I lived with regret.

895
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,680
I regret that I didn't do that.

896
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,580
So I didn't regret so much.

897
00:26:42,580 --> 00:26:44,140
You know, I would have been able

898
00:26:44,140 --> 00:26:46,310
to help way more people if I
stopped earlier.

899
00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:46,470
know, Yeah.

900
00:26:46,470 --> 00:26:48,090
I want to talk a little bit about

901
00:26:48,090 --> 00:26:50,570
kind of like, you know, you've
said mastermind a few times.

902
00:26:51,010 --> 00:26:53,590
What do you do to surround
yourself with people that elevate

903
00:26:53,590 --> 00:26:55,090
you?
Like I also just congratulations,

904
00:26:55,090 --> 00:26:55,250
kudos.

905
00:26:55,250 --> 00:26:56,750
I just saw you won.

906
00:26:56,750 --> 00:26:58,130
What was it like athlete warrior?
Yeah.

907
00:26:58,270 --> 00:26:59,310
Like health warrior of the year
award.

908
00:26:59,310 --> 00:27:00,050
warrior of the year award.

909
00:27:00,050 --> 00:27:00,270
Yeah.

910
00:27:00,270 --> 00:27:01,310
Awesome, man.

911
00:27:01,550 --> 00:27:02,810
Yeah, it's really good, man.

912
00:27:02,810 --> 00:27:07,890
So like when I was in Canada, and
I think this is part of the

913
00:27:07,890 --> 00:27:10,110
challenge being there and being an
entrepreneur is that we did it all

914
00:27:10,110 --> 00:27:10,290
ourself.

915
00:27:10,290 --> 00:27:11,910
And we would go and speak on

916
00:27:11,910 --> 00:27:14,710
stages and stuff periodically and
go to the meetups and whatnot with

917
00:27:14,710 --> 00:27:15,210
regards to business.

918
00:27:15,290 --> 00:27:17,110
But it's not a very collaborative

919
00:27:17,110 --> 00:27:17,230
place.

920
00:27:17,230 --> 00:27:18,110
I found it's like scarcity.

921
00:27:18,110 --> 00:27:21,250
you know like very competitive
people are nice but it's like not

922
00:27:21,250 --> 00:27:23,710
a whole lot of trade secrets being
passed like that really solve your

923
00:27:23,710 --> 00:27:27,610
problem and i also found that like
when i did come to the us it was

924
00:27:27,610 --> 00:27:30,230
the opposite and especially
thankfully in this border

925
00:27:30,230 --> 00:27:32,190
mastermind that i am like it's
unbelievable like players at all

926
00:27:32,190 --> 00:27:34,610
levels really trying to help you
And we'll go out of their way to

927
00:27:34,610 --> 00:27:36,970
make the connections and go above
and beyond and to get on Zoom

928
00:27:36,970 --> 00:27:39,990
calls after the quarterly meetings
to solve the problem that you need

929
00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:40,330
to solve.

930
00:27:40,330 --> 00:27:41,990
And that's the biggest thing that

931
00:27:41,990 --> 00:27:46,490
I see is they have an abundance
mindset down here.

932
00:27:46,730 --> 00:27:48,950
And when you are surrounded by
that, that's what you have.

933
00:27:48,950 --> 00:27:50,530
And I found it pushes us.

934
00:27:50,530 --> 00:27:51,790
And you know it's possible.

935
00:27:51,790 --> 00:27:56,430
One of my best friends from there
just sold his company for over

936
00:27:56,430 --> 00:27:57,070
$200 million.

937
00:27:57,370 --> 00:27:57,910
And he's RH.

938
00:27:57,910 --> 00:28:00,550
Another Canadian, actually, he
just came down here.

939
00:28:00,670 --> 00:28:01,350
He's doing the boardroom.

940
00:28:01,350 --> 00:28:03,010
He's doing a $1 .4 billion

941
00:28:03,010 --> 00:28:03,210
development.

942
00:28:03,310 --> 00:28:04,850
He's RH in Vegas with Four

943
00:28:04,850 --> 00:28:05,190
Seasons.

944
00:28:05,190 --> 00:28:06,330
He owns that shit.

945
00:28:06,330 --> 00:28:10,230
And it's like the investment onto
a mastermind down here is the same

946
00:28:10,230 --> 00:28:11,290
as if it is up in Canada.

947
00:28:11,290 --> 00:28:11,610
It's expensive.

948
00:28:11,610 --> 00:28:13,270
I mean, it's an investment.

949
00:28:13,270 --> 00:28:15,110
But if you can spend 30 grand and

950
00:28:15,290 --> 00:28:18,130
almost guarantee you make 100 or a
million out of it, which is if you

951
00:28:18,130 --> 00:28:19,010
don't, you didn't do anything,
right?

952
00:28:19,490 --> 00:28:21,790
Well, that's a great return on
investment.

953
00:28:21,790 --> 00:28:25,700
And so all my best friends are
pretty much into that mastermind.

954
00:28:25,700 --> 00:28:27,240
And I was awarded that award,
which was really cool.

955
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,720
But back to the body first
philosophy, I came up with that.

956
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,820
If we look after our body, do hard
things, our mindset gets right,

957
00:28:32,820 --> 00:28:33,960
we'll create bigger relationships,
we'll make more money.

958
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,180
Well, with that in mind, although
I won that award, I was nominated

959
00:28:37,180 --> 00:28:38,340
for five out of the total eight
awards.

960
00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:39,820
Two of them I couldn't even have
won.

961
00:28:39,820 --> 00:28:41,340
So that's just a testament.

962
00:28:41,340 --> 00:28:43,200
The first priority that we all

963
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,520
need to look after is our body.

964
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,100
Right.

965
00:28:46,260 --> 00:28:48,720
You know, a lot of probably
entrepreneurs on here that are

966
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,320
going to listen to this and we're
deal junkies.

967
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,330
We need to go chase the next more
money, more deals, try to get that

968
00:28:54,550 --> 00:28:55,390
bigger relationship to make more
money.

969
00:28:55,390 --> 00:28:56,550
And it's the opposite is actually
true.

970
00:28:56,550 --> 00:29:00,210
If we just take the time to look
after our body, our mindset will

971
00:29:00,210 --> 00:29:02,870
create courage, will create trust
inside of herself, will create a

972
00:29:02,870 --> 00:29:06,410
belief system, will show up in
such a way that money will be

973
00:29:06,410 --> 00:29:07,330
attracted to us.

974
00:29:07,330 --> 00:29:09,010
And I'm not talking flu flu shit.

975
00:29:09,010 --> 00:29:10,590
This is proof.

976
00:29:10,590 --> 00:29:12,670
I just did it.

977
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:13,620
Right.

978
00:29:13,620 --> 00:29:15,500
And yeah, I'm super honored to

979
00:29:15,500 --> 00:29:16,460
have that award.

980
00:29:16,460 --> 00:29:17,400
I mean, because, yeah, I mean, I

981
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,200
only had to ride a couple hundred
miles.

982
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,780
I ended up in the hospital and
think I would be carried out in an

983
00:29:22,780 --> 00:29:26,160
ambulance a few times, but hey,
it's worth the award.

984
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:26,700
Yeah, totally.

985
00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:28,220
What was the hardest part about

986
00:29:28,220 --> 00:29:30,020
that race?
The hundred miler?

987
00:29:30,020 --> 00:29:30,420
Yeah.

988
00:29:30,420 --> 00:29:31,720
The last 17 hours.

989
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:32,750
Yeah, that's fair.

990
00:29:32,750 --> 00:29:33,570
Yeah, it was good, though.

991
00:29:33,570 --> 00:29:34,090
It was hard.

992
00:29:34,090 --> 00:29:35,990
You know, I live in Florida.

993
00:29:35,990 --> 00:29:36,870
There's no hills in Florida.

994
00:29:36,870 --> 00:29:39,450
There was 13 ,000 feet of

995
00:29:39,450 --> 00:29:40,210
elevation in that.

996
00:29:40,210 --> 00:29:40,930
Where was the race?

997
00:29:40,930 --> 00:29:42,950
Where was that?
It was in Big Bear, California.

998
00:29:42,950 --> 00:29:43,350
OK, yeah.

999
00:29:43,350 --> 00:29:43,510
Yeah.

1000
00:29:43,510 --> 00:29:44,030
And it's mountains.

1001
00:29:44,030 --> 00:29:45,910
So you just run through the

1002
00:29:45,910 --> 00:29:46,150
mountains.

1003
00:29:46,150 --> 00:29:47,850
It was 26 hours, 40 minutes.

1004
00:29:47,850 --> 00:29:49,890
Must have been pretty warm, too.

1005
00:29:49,890 --> 00:29:50,910
It was.

1006
00:29:51,330 --> 00:29:54,270
It was really hot at one point in
the day and then really cold

1007
00:29:54,270 --> 00:29:54,750
during the night.

1008
00:29:54,750 --> 00:29:55,350
It was free.

1009
00:29:55,350 --> 00:29:59,940
It was down to like in the 40s at
night, which is, you know.

1010
00:29:59,940 --> 00:30:00,940
five or something like that,
probably.

1011
00:30:00,940 --> 00:30:01,200
It's interesting.

1012
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,180
You start to hallucinate and it's

1013
00:30:04,180 --> 00:30:06,560
like I was back on drugs again.

1014
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,940
What's next for you?

1015
00:30:07,940 --> 00:30:10,300
Let's focus on fitness and mindset
and health.

1016
00:30:10,300 --> 00:30:12,440
Most people would be like, wow, I
just did a hundred miles.

1017
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,220
That's crazy.

1018
00:30:13,220 --> 00:30:13,540
What's next?

1019
00:30:13,540 --> 00:30:13,640
Yeah.

1020
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,020
So it's a journey, right?

1021
00:30:15,020 --> 00:30:18,940
When I quit drinking, I signed up
for a 50.

1022
00:30:18,940 --> 00:30:22,040
You know, I took train for three
months, banged out the 50.

1023
00:30:22,140 --> 00:30:25,400
What next happened?
So then I was like, did the first

1024
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,920
100 miles and then did Ultraman,
which is a three -day triathlon,

1025
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,000
and then did the second 100 miles.

1026
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,060
And what I've been doing lately in

1027
00:30:33,060 --> 00:30:36,140
between the last 100 and now is
really dialing in my body and my

1028
00:30:36,140 --> 00:30:36,340
blood.

1029
00:30:36,340 --> 00:30:38,040
So I've been eating properly for

1030
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,360
the first time in my life.

1031
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,000
I got like $15 ,000 worth of

1032
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:44,820
testing done, DNA testing, body
scans, comprehensive blood

1033
00:30:44,820 --> 00:30:44,980
testing.

1034
00:30:44,980 --> 00:30:46,820
You know, I failed my cognitive

1035
00:30:46,820 --> 00:30:47,100
test.

1036
00:30:47,100 --> 00:30:49,020
I have either Alzheimer's or ADDD.

1037
00:30:49,020 --> 00:30:49,920
I'm going to go with ADDD.

1038
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:50,100
ADDDDD.

1039
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,540
So I've been really working on
getting that body dialed in

1040
00:30:52,540 --> 00:30:55,340
because I'm really ready to
fucking rip and roar on this next

1041
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:55,480
hundred.

1042
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,680
So I've got one that I'm going to

1043
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:58,020
do in April.

1044
00:30:58,020 --> 00:30:58,160
Yeah.

1045
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,580
So we've been doing off season
right now.

1046
00:30:59,580 --> 00:31:02,500
We're going to start on season
next week and I'm going to train

1047
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:03,600
harder than I've ever trained
before.

1048
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,340
And try to, you know, like
actually compete it really fast.

1049
00:31:06,340 --> 00:31:07,420
That's kind of my goal.

1050
00:31:07,420 --> 00:31:10,100
Now, I am on the waiting list for

1051
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:11,280
Cocodona 250 miler.

1052
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,320
And so in the new year, I think

1053
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,840
I'll know that's in May.

1054
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,180
So it's either the 100 miler or

1055
00:31:16,180 --> 00:31:16,940
250 miler.

1056
00:31:16,940 --> 00:31:19,100
How long would it take to do a 250

1057
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,460
mile?
You have, I believe, about five

1058
00:31:20,460 --> 00:31:22,400
days to complete it.

1059
00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:23,500
Do you take sleep breaks or

1060
00:31:23,500 --> 00:31:26,150
anything or you just give her?
You can have dirt naps.

1061
00:31:26,150 --> 00:31:26,630
can have dirt naps.

1062
00:31:26,630 --> 00:31:26,810
Yeah.

1063
00:31:26,810 --> 00:31:30,310
How many people complete this a
year?

1064
00:31:30,310 --> 00:31:31,870
Well, there's a lot that run it.

1065
00:31:31,870 --> 00:31:33,250
I think there's probably like 250

1066
00:31:33,250 --> 00:31:34,410
that run it.

1067
00:31:34,510 --> 00:31:37,270
I don't really know, to be honest.

1068
00:31:37,270 --> 00:31:40,030
I'm going to tell you that
probably like 170 maybe would

1069
00:31:40,330 --> 00:31:41,450
complete it.

1070
00:31:41,450 --> 00:31:47,090
But yeah, it's a long time.

1071
00:31:47,470 --> 00:31:49,610
You know, you could almost walk
the thing, right?

1072
00:31:49,790 --> 00:31:52,570
But my goal, I think, would be
probably to get it done in like

1073
00:31:52,570 --> 00:31:54,350
three days, three and a half days.

1074
00:31:54,470 --> 00:31:55,730
You know, you probably have to

1075
00:31:55,730 --> 00:31:58,310
sleep for maybe about eight hours,
something like that.

1076
00:31:58,510 --> 00:32:01,270
You get a lot of good thinking
done in that period.

1077
00:32:01,270 --> 00:32:04,330
Yeah, you end up thinking about
how much this sucks and why you're

1078
00:32:04,330 --> 00:32:05,350
doing this a lot.

1079
00:32:05,450 --> 00:32:06,790
but you don't like solve the

1080
00:32:06,790 --> 00:32:07,090
world's problems.

1081
00:32:07,090 --> 00:32:07,130
Yeah.

1082
00:32:07,130 --> 00:32:09,890
If you can live in that space for
five days, you can get through

1083
00:32:09,890 --> 00:32:10,030
anything.

1084
00:32:10,030 --> 00:32:11,550
You want to know what's really

1085
00:32:11,550 --> 00:32:11,730
interesting.

1086
00:32:11,830 --> 00:32:14,150
You want to know what's really

1087
00:32:14,150 --> 00:32:14,370
interesting.

1088
00:32:14,370 --> 00:32:16,890
Like I'm not an overly spiritual

1089
00:32:16,890 --> 00:32:18,810
person, but I'm becoming one.

1090
00:32:18,810 --> 00:32:20,350
So the very first hundred miler I

1091
00:32:21,830 --> 00:32:26,110
did, you don't know what pain is
until you've been in that pain

1092
00:32:26,990 --> 00:32:28,130
hole for that long.

1093
00:32:28,130 --> 00:32:29,310
You know, this is probably one tip

1094
00:32:29,310 --> 00:32:30,610
below giving birth.

1095
00:32:31,070 --> 00:32:33,990
Let's just say that we have to

1096
00:32:34,090 --> 00:32:35,110
have to clear the air.

1097
00:32:35,110 --> 00:32:37,350
Cause all the women are like, Oh

1098
00:32:37,350 --> 00:32:37,430
yeah.

1099
00:32:37,510 --> 00:32:37,530
Right.

1100
00:32:37,530 --> 00:32:38,070
Oh yeah, dude.

1101
00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:39,070
It was like wild.

1102
00:32:39,070 --> 00:32:40,490
I ran all overnight.

1103
00:32:40,490 --> 00:32:41,350
And it was like angels.

1104
00:32:41,350 --> 00:32:44,370
So I always had friends running
with me, like crew.

1105
00:32:44,370 --> 00:32:48,550
And then honestly, there was like
times where it was like, there was

1106
00:32:48,550 --> 00:32:51,090
like angels pushing me, like this
immense, overwhelming feeling of

1107
00:32:51,090 --> 00:32:51,330
love.

1108
00:32:51,330 --> 00:32:52,590
I'm like, this isn't real.

1109
00:32:52,590 --> 00:32:54,250
It would like bring tears to my
eyes.

1110
00:32:54,250 --> 00:32:56,650
Like you had this periods like
this for a long time.

1111
00:32:56,650 --> 00:32:59,030
Because I think what happens is it
strips you to the core.

1112
00:32:59,030 --> 00:33:03,570
It strips your ego, almost rewires
you because you're literally

1113
00:33:04,030 --> 00:33:05,230
tearing apart your nervous system.

1114
00:33:05,230 --> 00:33:07,160
After that, man, everything in

1115
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,680
life became more beautiful.

1116
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,940
I flew up to Canada and it was

1117
00:33:12,940 --> 00:33:13,920
miserable and cold and shitty and
rainy.

1118
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,140
And I'm like, even this is nice.

1119
00:33:16,140 --> 00:33:17,300
That was actually a question I

1120
00:33:17,300 --> 00:33:17,460
had.

1121
00:33:17,460 --> 00:33:18,880
So can you then like, since you've

1122
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,700
experienced that spirituality or
emotion, is it easier than to tap

1123
00:33:20,700 --> 00:33:23,000
back into?
Like, can you at some stage be

1124
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,260
like, man, I want to like,
remember how that felt and kind

1125
00:33:26,260 --> 00:33:28,740
of, you know, live in that space
again.

1126
00:33:28,740 --> 00:33:30,360
That's a really good question.

1127
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:31,860
I was hoping I had that same.

1128
00:33:31,860 --> 00:33:33,120
a really good question.

1129
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,780
I was hoping I had that same.

1130
00:33:34,780 --> 00:33:38,580
feeling when I did this last
hundred and like I didn't have

1131
00:33:38,580 --> 00:33:40,700
that like really overwhelming like
bring tears to my eyes feeling

1132
00:33:40,700 --> 00:33:43,020
although I did now that I'm
thinking about it like when I

1133
00:33:43,020 --> 00:33:46,520
thought about the finish I always
started crying almost but like

1134
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,100
maybe it was the people that were
with me and like because you know

1135
00:33:49,100 --> 00:33:53,360
my crew when I was running this
last one were behind me and so I

1136
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:54,880
couldn't see the love.

1137
00:33:55,610 --> 00:33:56,910
I didn't have that like really

1138
00:33:56,910 --> 00:34:00,070
overwhelming like bring tears to
my eyes feeling although I did now

1139
00:34:00,070 --> 00:34:02,370
that I'm thinking about it like
when I thought about the finish I

1140
00:34:02,370 --> 00:34:05,990
always started crying almost but
like maybe it was the people that

1141
00:34:05,990 --> 00:34:10,429
were with me and like because you
know my crew when I was running

1142
00:34:10,429 --> 00:34:14,830
this last one were behind me and
so I couldn't see the love.

1143
00:34:14,830 --> 00:34:16,830
But afterwards, the reflection,
when you are done, the reflection

1144
00:34:16,909 --> 00:34:20,230
is pretty magical this time
because it was just really hard,

1145
00:34:20,989 --> 00:34:21,190
bro.

1146
00:34:21,190 --> 00:34:22,429
And it was just like really hard

1147
00:34:22,429 --> 00:34:22,949
for hours.

1148
00:34:22,949 --> 00:34:26,610
And what I kept on telling myself

1149
00:34:26,610 --> 00:34:29,250
is how I finished matters, you
know, for 17 hours of this thing.

1150
00:34:29,250 --> 00:34:31,310
It was brutal, you know,
sleepwalking and running and

1151
00:34:31,310 --> 00:34:31,690
running.

1152
00:34:31,690 --> 00:34:35,150
And then it was extremely hot and

1153
00:34:35,150 --> 00:34:36,650
it was uphill for endless miles.

1154
00:34:36,650 --> 00:34:38,010
But looking back, you're like, you

1155
00:34:38,010 --> 00:34:38,070
know what?
Like, I can't change who I am

1156
00:34:38,070 --> 00:34:39,530
because the belief system changed.

1157
00:34:39,530 --> 00:34:40,210
Because the trust changed.

1158
00:34:40,210 --> 00:34:43,710
I think there is a connection to,
I don't know, I don't use the word

1159
00:34:43,850 --> 00:34:44,909
God, but I might say that.

1160
00:34:44,909 --> 00:34:46,889
But I don't think it's like God in

1161
00:34:46,889 --> 00:34:48,449
a spiritual way or like in a
religious way.

1162
00:34:48,449 --> 00:34:49,510
I don't know, man.

1163
00:34:49,630 --> 00:34:50,429
I'm just exploring this shit.

1164
00:34:50,429 --> 00:34:51,750
If you guys have advice, I'm going
to need everything you got.

1165
00:34:51,750 --> 00:34:54,310
I've got a notepad here.

1166
00:34:54,510 --> 00:34:55,989
And how does that make you feel?

1167
00:34:56,090 --> 00:34:56,190
Exactly.

1168
00:34:56,190 --> 00:34:56,429
Yeah.

1169
00:34:56,429 --> 00:34:58,640
Clearly didn't do my journaling
today.

1170
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,020
And then like translating that
into real estate, obviously it's

1171
00:35:01,020 --> 00:35:03,400
the same mindset of like, Hey, I
did this deal.

1172
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:04,300
I trust myself on that one.

1173
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:06,540
It was hard, but I got it done.

1174
00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:09,960
Now I can scale up and get bigger.

1175
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,080
I guess what's next on the real

1176
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,600
estate horizon?
Like what's the end goal for you?

1177
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:13,860
Yeah.

1178
00:35:13,860 --> 00:35:14,260
Wow.

1179
00:35:14,260 --> 00:35:15,400
There isn't an end.

1180
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,320
The last time I put an end was,

1181
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:21,280
you know, actually the very first
time I put 12 properties that was

1182
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,840
on our vision board.

1183
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,580
I thought that was what it was

1184
00:35:25,580 --> 00:35:26,260
going to be.

1185
00:35:26,260 --> 00:35:27,890
We ended up doing hundreds before

1186
00:35:27,890 --> 00:35:29,330
we did our next vision board.

1187
00:35:29,330 --> 00:35:30,930
You know, now in this one, it's

1188
00:35:31,050 --> 00:35:31,650
$500 million check.

1189
00:35:31,650 --> 00:35:37,270
So I'm building a company and I

1190
00:35:37,270 --> 00:35:38,770
want to sell it for 500 million.

1191
00:35:38,770 --> 00:35:41,470
You know, that's a financial

1192
00:35:41,470 --> 00:35:41,910
thing.

1193
00:35:41,910 --> 00:35:43,950
But the reason why is because I

1194
00:35:43,950 --> 00:35:46,870
know if I have all that money and
puts a magnifying glass on the

1195
00:35:46,870 --> 00:35:47,070
person.

1196
00:35:47,290 --> 00:35:49,490
So, and I know if I can get that

1197
00:35:49,710 --> 00:35:51,330
amount of money, like I'm going to
help.

1198
00:35:51,330 --> 00:35:53,090
a fucking wild amount of people on
earth.

1199
00:35:53,090 --> 00:35:51,730
And so that's why it's there.

1200
00:35:51,730 --> 00:35:52,390
It's what's next.

1201
00:35:52,390 --> 00:35:57,720
It's not, you know, the end, I
would say, you know, how I'm

1202
00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:00,960
getting there is what we're doing
now.

1203
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:05,020
Like right now we have nine sites
under contract, you know, it's

1204
00:36:05,020 --> 00:36:06,140
probably like $7 million in
revenue.

1205
00:36:06,140 --> 00:36:09,380
So we're working there, you know,
we either are going to get our ass

1206
00:36:09,380 --> 00:36:12,220
handed to us or we're going to get
there.

1207
00:36:12,220 --> 00:36:14,940
Those are the two options, but I'm
not going to quit.

1208
00:36:14,940 --> 00:36:16,620
So how many employees do you have
right now?

1209
00:36:16,620 --> 00:36:19,020
Or we have 19, 19 working for us
full time.

1210
00:36:19,020 --> 00:36:19,300
Yeah.

1211
00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:19,640
Cool.

1212
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,080
We do like to finish our show
talking about charity.

1213
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,580
What's charity for you?
What are you passionate about?

1214
00:36:05,580 --> 00:36:07,160
Yeah, we ended up helping a lot of
kids.

1215
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:11,460
So when we were in Canada, we did
a lot of fundraising for

1216
00:36:11,460 --> 00:36:11,820
Easterseals.

1217
00:36:11,820 --> 00:36:12,540
And we still do.

1218
00:36:12,540 --> 00:36:13,180
I still do.

1219
00:36:13,180 --> 00:36:14,940
Even from here, I do that.

1220
00:36:14,940 --> 00:36:16,260
We did like Dancing with the
Stars.

1221
00:36:16,260 --> 00:36:18,320
I would always be top fundraiser
for their hockey charity

1222
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,140
tournaments and all that kind of
stuff.

1223
00:36:21,180 --> 00:36:22,840
always one top fundraiser.

1224
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,280
Cause I'm like the way you do one

1225
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,880
thing is the way you're going to
do everything.

1226
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,500
And it's not that hard when you do
business, when you pay people on

1227
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:35,420
time, when you do what you said
you're going to do, and then you

1228
00:36:35,420 --> 00:36:39,280
ask them for 500 buck donation to,
you know, something that's

1229
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:40,460
actually going to matter and
change people.

1230
00:36:40,460 --> 00:36:41,460
They say yes.

1231
00:36:41,460 --> 00:36:41,620
Right.

1232
00:36:41,620 --> 00:36:44,780
Because again, it's energy, you
know, like if they're so used to

1233
00:36:44,860 --> 00:36:46,960
watching you do what you say
you're going to do, and this

1234
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,740
matters, then they were going to
give you the money.

1235
00:36:50,740 --> 00:36:53,680
So I kind of spun that into when I
did the a hundred miler.

1236
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:54,860
We raised $85 ,000.

1237
00:36:54,860 --> 00:36:55,900
Personally, I got it for Operation

1238
00:36:55,900 --> 00:36:57,320
Underground Railroad, which helps
kids from the sex trade.

1239
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,740
And then about half of that also
went to Easter Seals in Canada.

1240
00:37:00,740 --> 00:37:04,620
And then recently, two weeks ago
or a month ago, I raised $25 ,000

1241
00:37:04,620 --> 00:37:08,140
for bras for girls.

1242
00:37:08,140 --> 00:37:10,220
And I ran the New York City

1243
00:37:10,220 --> 00:37:10,400
Marathon.

1244
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,140
I got a Guinness Book of World

1245
00:37:13,140 --> 00:37:19,300
Record for that, for the most bras
worn by a dude while running a

1246
00:37:19,300 --> 00:37:19,400
marathon.

1247
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:20,520
How many was it?

1248
00:37:20,900 --> 00:37:23,260
25. I ran the whole New York City
Marathon with 25 bras.

1249
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,140
The deal was I would wear one bra
for every thousand dollars

1250
00:37:25,140 --> 00:37:25,560
donated.

1251
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,320
And so that charity is pretty cool

1252
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:28,360
because it helps like.

1253
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,200
There's a stat that 80 % of girls

1254
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,170
in between ages eight and 18 don't
go into sport, drop out of sports

1255
00:37:34,170 --> 00:37:37,090
or don't play because they don't
have proper fitting sports for us.

1256
00:37:37,090 --> 00:37:37,350
Yeah.

1257
00:37:37,350 --> 00:37:39,210
So we did a lot of work for them.

1258
00:37:39,210 --> 00:37:40,670
And then, you know, like another
example on Friday, we're going to

1259
00:37:40,670 --> 00:37:43,130
go pay off all these layaways for
kids every year.

1260
00:37:43,330 --> 00:37:45,930
It's always one or two really big
things I've got on there.

1261
00:37:45,930 --> 00:37:47,590
I want to donate personally a
million bucks.

1262
00:37:47,590 --> 00:37:50,270
I've raised probably like 250 ,000
for charity, just like by the

1263
00:37:50,270 --> 00:37:52,430
things that we've done in the last
few years.

1264
00:37:52,430 --> 00:37:54,710
I want to, So you know, build a
company here shortly that.

1265
00:37:54,710 --> 00:37:57,130
Part of the proceeds will then
just go to charity and we can

1266
00:37:57,130 --> 00:37:58,370
just, you know, donate millions
eventually every year.

1267
00:37:58,370 --> 00:37:59,430
That's amazing, dude.

1268
00:37:59,430 --> 00:37:59,730
Yeah.

1269
00:37:59,730 --> 00:38:00,370
That's amazing.

1270
00:38:00,370 --> 00:38:00,530
Yeah.

1271
00:38:00,530 --> 00:38:04,170
You don't get a lot of business
owners that scale that give back

1272
00:38:04,330 --> 00:38:06,050
as much as that, like
authentically, you know, and

1273
00:38:06,050 --> 00:38:07,350
creatively, like that's awesome.

1274
00:38:07,350 --> 00:38:08,870
It's way more rewarding to help

1275
00:38:08,870 --> 00:38:10,070
people than it is to make money.

1276
00:38:10,070 --> 00:38:12,210
You know, like you obviously have

1277
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:15,970
to, you know, get to a certain
point in life where you're

1278
00:38:16,130 --> 00:38:16,690
comfortable, but I'm a firm
believer that.

1279
00:38:16,690 --> 00:38:18,510
you know, what you give, you will
get back 10 times.

1280
00:38:18,510 --> 00:38:20,870
And like, just think about if like
a quarter of the people that had

1281
00:38:20,870 --> 00:38:23,930
real business skills, just put
like, you know, two weeks of

1282
00:38:24,090 --> 00:38:25,550
effort into helping a charity.

1283
00:38:25,550 --> 00:38:27,690
Like you can do the same thing I'm

1284
00:38:27,690 --> 00:38:27,870
doing.

1285
00:38:27,870 --> 00:38:29,010
That's all it takes.

1286
00:38:29,010 --> 00:38:31,530
It's just a little bit of effort.

1287
00:38:31,530 --> 00:38:32,610
And like, I'm very strategic in

1288
00:38:33,170 --> 00:38:33,850
how I do it.

1289
00:38:33,850 --> 00:38:34,390
It's marketing.

1290
00:38:34,390 --> 00:38:38,090
You got to ask the right people
and you got to, you know, I think

1291
00:38:38,090 --> 00:38:39,030
it's amazing.

1292
00:38:39,030 --> 00:38:41,070
I mean, we've all got skills and

1293
00:38:41,070 --> 00:38:42,490
we all have the ability to help.

1294
00:38:42,630 --> 00:38:43,610
You know, another big thing is

1295
00:38:43,610 --> 00:38:45,770
like, it doesn't even have to be
about money, right?

1296
00:38:45,770 --> 00:38:49,480
Think about how good it feels when
you just, you know, say good

1297
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:50,700
morning and like open somebody's
door, right?

1298
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:51,380
That happens so rarely anymore.

1299
00:38:51,380 --> 00:38:51,840
And it shocks people when you

1300
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,180
actually do it.

1301
00:38:53,180 --> 00:38:53,620
I find.

1302
00:38:53,620 --> 00:38:56,740
Like that can change people's day,
you know, pay for somebody's

1303
00:38:56,740 --> 00:38:57,840
breakfast, you know, it costs
seven bucks.

1304
00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:58,320
Breakfasts are pretty cheap.

1305
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,400
You know, there's all kinds of

1306
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,720
ways to help people and just
change, you know, change people's

1307
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:03,620
lives and change days.

1308
00:39:03,620 --> 00:39:03,860
Yeah.

1309
00:39:03,860 --> 00:39:04,760
It's not that hard.

1310
00:39:04,980 --> 00:39:08,100
We just got to put a bit of effort

1311
00:39:08,100 --> 00:39:08,660
into it.

1312
00:39:08,660 --> 00:39:08,980
Yeah.

1313
00:39:08,980 --> 00:39:09,820
It's contagious too.

1314
00:39:09,820 --> 00:39:10,240
Right.

1315
00:39:10,240 --> 00:39:10,580
So yeah.

1316
00:39:10,580 --> 00:39:10,740
Yeah.

1317
00:39:10,740 --> 00:39:10,920
Yeah.

1318
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:11,280
Very much so.

1319
00:39:11,420 --> 00:39:13,440
All right, Bernie, if you could
give your 20 year old self a piece

1320
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,700
of advice, what would it be?
I know we kind of touched on this,

1321
00:39:15,980 --> 00:39:17,780
but what do you think?
Yeah.

1322
00:39:17,780 --> 00:39:22,640
In 20 years, I would be like,
again, back to don't drink, get

1323
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,100
into real estate faster.

1324
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:25,580
And I would say, get your ass down

1325
00:39:25,580 --> 00:39:29,260
to the US as fast as you can, son.

1326
00:39:29,260 --> 00:39:30,180
Seriously, when you get around big

1327
00:39:30,180 --> 00:39:32,640
thinkers, like, hey, just think
about if you're an entrepreneur

1328
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,340
and you have, you know, the option
to be around a trillion dollars or

1329
00:39:35,340 --> 00:39:37,880
a million dollars, where do you
think you're going to be more

1330
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:38,180
fruitful?
Yeah.

1331
00:39:38,180 --> 00:39:39,100
It's a no brainer.

1332
00:39:39,100 --> 00:39:40,060
a no brainer.

1333
00:39:42,010 --> 00:39:43,970
So then that's the reason business
is just easier down here.

1334
00:39:43,970 --> 00:39:48,030
That's why I would say that.

1335
00:39:48,030 --> 00:39:50,310
And, you know, I love Canada and I

1336
00:39:50,510 --> 00:39:52,940
love the people in Canada, but the
rules in Canada are hard, right?

1337
00:39:52,940 --> 00:39:54,920
Business is very hard there and
the taxes are very hard.

1338
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,280
So that's the reason why I say
that it's significantly easier

1339
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:58,000
down here.

1340
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,460
Now you can lose your shirt very

1341
00:39:59,460 --> 00:40:02,080
fast down here too, because you
can go big, very big, very fast.

1342
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,680
But if you're into the risk, it's
worth it in my opinion.

1343
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:04,900
Yeah.

1344
00:40:04,900 --> 00:40:05,280
Investment wise, Say somebody

1345
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,380
moves down there, they're 20 years
old, have an inheritance.

1346
00:40:08,380 --> 00:40:09,780
Say they got a million bucks.

1347
00:40:09,780 --> 00:40:10,640
Inheritance, man.

1348
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:11,340
They just need a mindset.

1349
00:40:11,340 --> 00:40:12,100
Fuck the inheritance.

1350
00:40:12,100 --> 00:40:12,220
Okay.

1351
00:40:12,220 --> 00:40:13,680
So you know what?

1352
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,280
I just hired some dude, 26 years
old.

1353
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,680
He was a friend of a friend who
like the friend ran a hundred

1354
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,720
miles and somehow I got connected
in this world.

1355
00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:23,980
He reached out to a role that we
had advertised in our company and

1356
00:40:23,980 --> 00:40:25,020
I posted it on my Instagram.

1357
00:40:25,180 --> 00:40:27,420
He reached out and it just

1358
00:40:27,420 --> 00:40:30,240
happened to be that he was
actually educated in the role that

1359
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:31,560
I was looking for.

1360
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,160
And he was like, oh, that's not,

1361
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:35,160
no, that's it.

1362
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,360
I'm like, no, no, this is good.

1363
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,180
And he ran, he's run multiple
hundred miles.

1364
00:40:39,180 --> 00:40:42,220
This person at 26 years old,
that's what I would say for a 20

1365
00:40:42,220 --> 00:40:46,080
year old, go and start running and
see how fast you can run a hundred

1366
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:46,200
miles.

1367
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,000
That will change your life

1368
00:40:48,140 --> 00:40:48,220
forever.

1369
00:40:48,220 --> 00:40:49,020
Seriously, because there's nothing

1370
00:40:49,020 --> 00:40:52,000
more that will create a
bulletproof mindset.

1371
00:40:52,140 --> 00:40:54,440
Figure out how to run a hundred
miles before you're 23, 22.

1372
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,120
If you are not extremely
successful by the time you're 25,

1373
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:58,600
you know.

1374
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,340
You broke all your legs.

1375
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:01,640
You broke both your legs or
something.

1376
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:02,140
I don't know.

1377
00:41:02,300 --> 00:41:02,480
Seriously.

1378
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:03,320
That's honestly what I would do,
right?

1379
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:04,740
Because you're not going to do
that and drink.

1380
00:41:04,740 --> 00:41:06,460
Because you're not going to do
that drink.

1381
00:41:06,460 --> 00:41:06,800
Yeah.

1382
00:41:06,940 --> 00:41:07,980
Then you're not going to do that

1383
00:41:07,980 --> 00:41:08,340
and drink.

1384
00:41:08,340 --> 00:41:09,720
You're not going to have a whole

1385
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:11,020
lot of time to dick around.

1386
00:41:11,020 --> 00:41:13,280
So you're not going to be watching

1387
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:13,440
TV.

1388
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:14,620
You're not going to be watching

1389
00:41:14,620 --> 00:41:14,760
sports.

1390
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:15,540
You're probably not going to be

1391
00:41:15,540 --> 00:41:16,460
drinking with your buddies.

1392
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,900
You're going to be running with

1393
00:41:18,900 --> 00:41:19,140
them.

1394
00:41:19,140 --> 00:41:20,720
And all that combined, you know,

1395
00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:21,600
hire a coach.

1396
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:21,960
Yeah.

1397
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:22,420
Yeah.

1398
00:41:22,420 --> 00:41:22,580
Nice.

1399
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:23,400
Nice.

1400
00:41:23,620 --> 00:41:25,280
Honestly, that would change.

1401
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:26,180
I wish.

1402
00:41:26,180 --> 00:41:26,320
Damn.

1403
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:26,740
Nice.

1404
00:41:26,740 --> 00:41:27,860
Honestly, That's where I regret.

1405
00:41:27,860 --> 00:41:30,570
Let's go back to that part.

1406
00:41:30,570 --> 00:41:31,830
I mean, it's funny.

1407
00:41:31,830 --> 00:41:35,210
It's actually such a good piece of
advice because it is zero barrier

1408
00:41:35,210 --> 00:41:37,110
to entry other than running shoes.

1409
00:41:37,110 --> 00:41:38,170
But it seems like the barrier is

1410
00:41:38,170 --> 00:41:38,590
so difficult.

1411
00:41:38,590 --> 00:41:39,330
So difficult.

1412
00:41:39,330 --> 00:41:39,470
Yeah.

1413
00:41:39,830 --> 00:41:42,690
You want to be part of the 1 % of

1414
00:41:42,690 --> 00:41:43,170
the 1%.

1415
00:41:43,170 --> 00:41:43,570
There's probably like 5 ,000

1416
00:41:43,570 --> 00:41:45,730
people in the two countries that
have ran 100 miles.

1417
00:41:45,870 --> 00:41:45,970
Yeah.

1418
00:41:46,230 --> 00:41:46,350
Right.

1419
00:41:46,350 --> 00:41:48,290
That makes you a badass.

1420
00:41:48,290 --> 00:41:48,510
Yeah.

1421
00:41:49,270 --> 00:41:50,230
I'm not patting my back on myself.

1422
00:41:50,230 --> 00:41:51,750
I would say it would make a 20

1423
00:41:51,750 --> 00:41:53,190
year old a badass.

1424
00:41:53,190 --> 00:41:53,930
Like I am super thrilled to have

1425
00:41:53,930 --> 00:41:55,150
this 26 year old.

1426
00:41:55,150 --> 00:41:55,170
Yeah.

1427
00:41:55,170 --> 00:41:55,250
Yeah.

1428
00:41:55,250 --> 00:41:56,320
not That's awesome.

1429
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:56,520
Yeah.

1430
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:57,000
That's awesome.

1431
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,720
And he's running the Coca -Cola
two 50.

1432
00:41:58,720 --> 00:41:59,120
That's awesome.

1433
00:41:59,120 --> 00:41:59,420
Oh, really?

1434
00:41:59,420 --> 00:41:59,660
Yeah.

1435
00:41:59,660 --> 00:42:01,340
This guy's it's on race.

1436
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:02,980
It should almost be a requirement
to work at your company.

1437
00:42:02,980 --> 00:42:09,240
should almost be a requirement to
work at your company.

1438
00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:09,960
Like, yeah.

1439
00:42:10,220 --> 00:42:10,320
yeah.

1440
00:42:10,420 --> 00:42:10,860
Yeah, I know.

1441
00:42:10,860 --> 00:42:11,300
That's so true.

1442
00:42:11,300 --> 00:42:12,700
All right, man.

1443
00:42:12,700 --> 00:42:13,800
Well, yeah.

1444
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,900
How can Matt and I or our listener
give back to you?

1445
00:42:16,900 --> 00:42:18,540
Like, yeah, we love what you're
doing and really appreciate,

1446
00:42:18,540 --> 00:42:20,910
honestly, like, you know, I've
only started following you on

1447
00:42:20,910 --> 00:42:24,230
Instagram the last couple of
months and had a quick call with

1448
00:42:24,230 --> 00:42:24,410
you.

1449
00:42:24,410 --> 00:42:26,050
It's impacted me positively.

1450
00:42:26,050 --> 00:42:26,750
So thank you.

1451
00:42:26,970 --> 00:42:29,310
But yeah, what can we do to help

1452
00:42:29,310 --> 00:42:30,750
you?
Yeah, I would just say, you know,

1453
00:42:30,750 --> 00:42:33,970
go to ZeroTo100
com if you want to hop into the

1454
00:42:33,970 --> 00:42:35,770
free challenge or just follow
along on Instagram, social media,

1455
00:42:35,770 --> 00:42:38,550
share some of the stuff that you
think is inspiring or might help

1456
00:42:38,550 --> 00:42:38,870
other people.

1457
00:42:38,870 --> 00:42:40,130
I think that's the biggest thing.

1458
00:42:40,130 --> 00:42:44,110
If anybody listened to this and
they think that the story was

1459
00:42:44,110 --> 00:42:48,970
helpful, one of my goals is to get
on more podcasts in 2025 and get

1460
00:42:49,500 --> 00:42:50,780
on a few more stages.

1461
00:42:50,860 --> 00:42:52,060
you know, that would be another

1462
00:42:52,060 --> 00:42:53,840
thing that would be super helpful.

1463
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,320
So I can help more people.

1464
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,220
We can probably help with that.

1465
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:57,820
can probably with that.

1466
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:58,640
So we will.

1467
00:42:58,640 --> 00:42:59,380
we will.

1468
00:42:59,520 --> 00:42:59,820
Yeah.

1469
00:42:59,820 --> 00:43:01,420
Well, we'll just have you back,

1470
00:43:01,420 --> 00:43:02,880
we'll just have you back, man.

1471
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,200
I'd love to love to.

1472
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:04,860
Yeah.

1473
00:43:04,860 --> 00:43:06,020
Right after your two 50.

1474
00:43:06,020 --> 00:43:08,520
I want to just do it during the
last 25.

1475
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:08,660
to.

1476
00:43:08,660 --> 00:43:08,820
Yeah.

1477
00:43:08,820 --> 00:43:10,180
Right after your two 50.

1478
00:43:10,180 --> 00:43:11,900
I want to just do it during the

1479
00:43:11,900 --> 00:43:12,940
last 25.

1480
00:43:12,940 --> 00:43:13,060
Yeah.

1481
00:43:13,060 --> 00:43:13,220
Exactly.

1482
00:43:13,220 --> 00:43:13,840
Let's do that.

1483
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,680
We'll get the angels input into
the podcast.

1484
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,900
And yeah, we'll probably never be
more honest in that scenario.

1485
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:18,680
I just shit myself.

1486
00:43:18,780 --> 00:43:18,960
I'm sorry.

1487
00:43:19,020 --> 00:43:19,660
Yeah, I love it, man.

1488
00:43:19,660 --> 00:43:20,920
Well, thank you so much for

1489
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:21,160
everything.

1490
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,460
And yeah, hopefully you guys have

1491
00:43:24,460 --> 00:43:26,340
a good holidays down there and an
awesome 2025.

1492
00:43:26,340 --> 00:43:27,040
Yeah, thanks a lot.

1493
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,100
Thanks a lot for having me.
