And the biggest lessons we are doing this with our team cause. Well talking about him, one sharing their biggest lessons of the year so wanted to start with the highlights, because this There's been a little crazy for a lot of people, but we were back to january fears. this year. We went to the polls. This is one of the top highlighted here we went to Poland. I took ten of us a clay a great guys went to Poland train with whim half, and it was crazy. Five days, unbelievable aspirants volumes three four years ago, I feel safe does it for five years ago I was told me: it was five years ago, I'd be like absolute five years ago, but it was the most incredible experience I made. It was probably the most challenging experience. I've ever had

in my entire life physically, And we had some crazed a year and a group of guys there, though, I think the way that this The guy's cottages shared open heart, open mind was a man It was it brought me back. I shouldn t like playing college football together and having that that lock, feel were like you just you know as guys and connect and be vulnerable. You know also be tough, because we are in situations where we're jumping off cliffs into icy water. So everybody's, like you, see both sides, the vulnerable side and also the modules? I can only echo, I think, crazy, has we jumped off and probably wanted, when you thirty, four cliff and or frozen river. We did ice tubs for ten minutes at a time we did saunas together. We data

I climbed a mountain for four and a half hours with no clothes. Just shorts loves massive mountain, the biggest in in czech republic yeah. It's like right on the border, poland and czech republic. We did. We did a lot of breathing and meditation. There was a lot of cool stuff that happened for five days and I think it prepared As for what was the common twenty twenty the appropriate, I mean elevated prepares for wages, have him, but absolutely everything we ve got us. There is great grounding where we get came together. I don't know if we can have recreate a moment like that, where we are tooth, where I am talking about bed sleeping together by bands to slay opening up it. Wasn't me players knows a guitar singing view is often, and I would call on the other hand, arm was on his hand. Drum do may was crazy and I think there is no WI fi or cell service, so we're really connecting which was pretty cool. We climbed the mountain in the backyard just to get a few bars, so that was

the first thing that was a big highlight for us really, the last trip that a lot of people went on in that group for the year. I think people have as for the whole year, but that was the last one for the pandemic sure before that we actually moved into the studio. At the end of last year, we decided I run, I gather from my home from previous six and a half seven years, and I said, let's, let's build into a studio. Let's get people in the office was built out a team So we moved in the here and we did the first episode I think February. in the studio, we're building out the broom, but we moved in here with the idea of building a team in a studio, and that was a great and a big highlight, Another want, which is also just been like a we have to have some sanity, the last night That's because we ve been out to come here and be covered safe, and have some type of routine where most people have been staying in and working from home, which has been huge for us. You've got to

at home. Yes, three old daughter at home. Honestly, this has been a saving grace for me, and I for us for the business, because its allowed us a place where we can dive in and fully be focused, take massive action without space this place because we are entire team there. back work from home. You know it's really just been you and I hear cos attaining being safe and all that sort of stuff, but it was yet. I think it was the right move and its still to this day, you know cause. I asked you, I think, what a month or two ago I was like, should we continue on like this like? What's what's the plan for the future, and it's like, I think this place rooted in us needing to have a studio office greatness. H, q? I just don't think we have been able to do this interviews without a court. Space that was quiet, nice background lighting. Everything in my my place is not the same of its on your computer at home, verses still, we also had about half our guests in here still more wellbeing, in everything

we also you know, running live webinars. We did more webinars this year, having a place to do that. So I feel like it's been a game changer for us. I've got a question for you, I mean, what's it been like for you to detach, because you've worked from home now and had the studio and this entire podcast since two thousand and thirteen out of your home- and this is the first year what was like the number one take aware when for you in getting out, I mean, did you like it? Did you miss working from home that easy? I loved it, because, while I'm also like two blocks away, so it's a quick walk to get here, but I love because my girlfriend move. There was this year and I wanted her to have the freedom of the space not have people come in. We got a dog all that stuff. For me, it felt like a place where I can go, get work done to go home and relax, whereas the other, As you know, it was like. I was always on still working boy. It's like at least some working transition five minutes ago, somewhere else

so that was, it was a great experience and I'm excited to bill from here. Third thing that happened, that was big was we were working on a documentary for last couple years. We law, stared at the ground which is one of the most iconic movie theaters here, in LOS angeles, we sold out at the grove and had this amazing premier, it was unbelievable, was amazing february, with it is incredible right before the big fish it was. I kick starting our year after poland we're just like back to back. We had a lot of things: a lotta, exciting things happening this year, both that was like the thing that just happened right before or right before covin the pandemic. It and I've saved were that moment in time I know you know, let's go to the movie theater. It was like the last time we were at a movie theater like because all the movie theater shut down after that, like good, bye down I know I just had the grove last night see and a clause in the trolley and every social distancing and everything and

I looked at the movie theater. It was just so sad to see exactly where we had the the dock line. You were like one of the last movies to be there. We had some incredible people show up unbelievable guess the vulnerability in the room cause you did a q and a afterwards and some of the questions. What opened up in that documentary? It still needs to hit that The main world like we haven't, really had a chance to really get it out there it in its entirety, but german. We were trying to figure out how to get it onto netflix. After that or amazon or somewhere then pandemic head and people are just scrambling, and so it was hard to move the conversation forward. We thought about launching it on our own youtube channel. We've still been hesitant because there's some conversations in the works with other platforms. So we we, if you want us to lodge it on our youtube channel sometime, let us know, but we're hoping to get it onto a bigger, bigger opportunities from that, but that was a

on process. A little caesar we get some. We got some exciting things still. The comes out of the next highlight Thousands episode after seven years, a launching in two thousand thirteen. We had a thousand episodes and now a big number massive, consistently showing up what about hit our eight year anniversary here in a month, I can't really think of a lot of milestones, but that was a big one. It was a moment to like sit and reflect and see all the incredible people that have sat across the table from earth crazy, and I mean a lot of the guest. I mean I love every single one of the people that that are on our show, and I think, here. I take it back with coffee conversations. You had cadillac fashion you had all kinds of fun stuff that you did even solo over the years. And there's a lot of

in the formats you played around with, and it's definitely become. The interview show that I think you intended it to always be right. It's also got a little variety, little spice, also a little coffee conversations and this year we're looking to do some formats as well, so teaser meditating their internal next year, but we crossed over three hundred and five million downloads and yours on youtube and audio of the long form content does not, including all social media views we'll snip, some short things like that, but over three point: five million views and downloads its humbling. I mean uh sorry come of ohio Kosovo together. Would you ve ever thought never that we would hit? a thousand episodes or I made even even the bigger none of the three hundred five million. As of the number report today before this, every five million make listeners of yours of our the show Are you crazy? credit crazy to think about. We were just

We used to be roommates in college, we're a splitting it the fifty dollar apartment together paid one hundred twenty five dollars each thanks to your brother Chris. If he bothers playing one hundred and twenty five dollars a month back, then it was like in my mind it was big. It was still like something to write that check every month. You know we were taught in college twenty one, twenty two years old student loans and never making any money. We were playing college football. That was our job, so it was a it was fun coming from there We used to like dream, big all the time about stuff, so it's cool to see it, ten years later, as from fifteen years, while since they're gonna go crazy some notable guess we had this year. We had a cabinet, math ricotta, hey rhonda, burn the creator. The secret for thirty five copy solve their book and Kevin hard. when emailing, his purposes for about five years pretty much every couple months. I would message her and say: hey is now the time and she would I say now- but he had a they came out,

this year there was a self how book animals. Right. Timing stems that was timing. Same thing with mass mechanic had here both they came out. goes to show that, like the more you create great continent billinger platform, even when someone says no to you, if you're trying to interview them, following up key building one you can create and you'll start to attract those people, future. You know these are people. I would want on eight years ago right my started, but I wasn't big enough. The platform was a big enough they didn't have something that made sense to talk about. Yet for this type of shell so if you show up and everything they never derailed. You, though, even it how you got the knows, it's not the right time. It's not this. The consistency of you showing up for your show yourself for the audience right for them for the mission was about there it got you there and so the persistence, the consistency here, though, does Michael. I mean we had a lot of amazing guess this year, huge names great, we haven't you know

if people in money and relationships and health and wellness, some incredible repeat guests, who I mean easy repeat, is great to get them a second time around diana Aber yeah. We also had rhonda byrne recently. This one already did over half a million views in less than a couple of weeks, cool, because she hasn't done an interview and I think, twelve years since she was on Oprah Oprah, her actually launched the secret. So it was cool to be the first interview and over a decade that she had and get interviews. I got where people are really doing interviews, so some cool guess we had on while some stuff dublin up the show nuts we also need to be highlighted. The six behind it is this. justice movement and embracing and actively reaching out to people to come on the show to talk about how we can of service in greater ways. How we can understand, as a community is a platform having starting with Michael back with, I think the week of

I love Michael back with these. Very I love. Listen to him talk of a spiritual standpoint of social justice. How do we lead with spiritual grounding. Then we having laverne cox, come on talk from her damn point. Also a manual otto actually I was like a team favorite things were edible after this incredible yeah. That was incredible episode, Manuel Ochoa, talking about on camera, uncomfortable conversations with a black man, so we had a lot of great people we were constantly evolving as a team, for your at how it can be of service in that in that movement as well the pandemic and we had an opportune. There's gonna be a week's time where you and I were like what are we You know we were We do we gotta look at our finances. Civil pay people we are, you know, but if buying products, are you to watch our content? How do we optimize this? Are we not rich

and maintain, but how do we thrive and grow rents and we made decisions quickly to really pivot We have a lot of great content as premium that we pay we charge for, but we said you know we're going to create a free, webinar, free trainings and teach people how to earn some cash right now with side hustles with the skills they have. This was incredible because I remember you know when I was in corporate and you're just side hustling back in their day, it was inspiring to see I mean you were throwing events, obviously, can't do that anymore? You can't just call restaurants. They want to throw networking of rent or anything like that, but the way that you then pivoted got into webinar selling, online services, and course courses I mean and then using the old, the dares you know and how we continue to pivot and grow our business there's. You know share with their what it there are nearly every hour invading whose good friend of bars and consult of the year the bran he's barcelona shoved times.

He said that every business should be thinking about creating dares these opera. some services that are digital. Automated We occurring evergreen, scalable and this is something we started to do- we didn't private one day with him a couple of times, but we do this a couple years ago we set How can we shift our business model into more dares digital, automated work reoccurring? ever raymond scalable and there's something we're doing really well and other things we weren't. We started a shift everything this year to be there and it was just like man. The timing was good because we have been doing this for ten years. Is a business in a brand people how to work from home. So when the world needed to learn how to work from home, we became a resource that then we had twenty five thousand people register for this weapon aren't

and it was just a great next couple of months- of people- joined our inner circle program and will be. We really help them and educated them on what they can do. A game plan, step by step thirty days at a time what you can do to earn a little cash. Was it like thirty People are unemployed businesses we're going under, so we were really providing great resource in training for people goin through that time. And we decided you know what people need more accountable in coaches and then we launched We developed and created a science based program on getting results around your goals called greatest coaching. We just launched it. We've got members joining right. Now, people hundreds of people have applied, go to Lewis house. calm. Slash coaching to apply and repeated the whole point as we payment it, we forgot. What can we do to serve people, whether this? ass for months or years and we made some very decisions payment in and we- not everything is perfect, but it works. Well.

Stuff when it wasn't ready, but it worked in an age? same thing: you're. Sarah Herod things take me back to the guy that I knew you always to be you for a fighter back in the day you weren't just going to lay down- and I remember on the football field, and we got to a couple of scuffles a couple of ties. We actually had one of our former coaches reach out during coven for you to go and inspire his team. Yeah, you know the bulldogs drake bulldogs, bulldogs yep, and it was cool because he brought up that moment where If I were the coach, he got into a fight with them. Yeah I mean we were very respectful and apologized afterwards realize our emotions. Heat of battle got to us. it took me back to you, can either be in fight or flight mode. It's like don't stop fighting yeah stay in the fight standing. Don't don't move yourself in the game Yes, someone, I saw us somewhere recently, someone said maintain if you maintain your dying, you can't be maintained or trying to like minimize. You need me you. How can I grow during this time?

tat, our city urbanism ice as actually suit gotta be thinking. How can I optimizing grow during this time another big, highlight few more youtube. We decided always on youtube. We are neglecting this for the last five or six years we started. creating video content for the show. Before any other audio programmes really recording them on video must pay for it. Just launching podcast audio, only we use five years ago to hire someone to fill tip. was with us from our five years, five plus years she was filming all the content and tat. If we miss you too totter. We we film at all, but we want optimizing, we're just going up on you too many. We would give a million views a month now Happy is lawns. Just by having great content out there this year. We said you know what, let's, let's optimize That's where the gall in on youtube shot out too carmagnole because I was actually employ. Rico. Doing a masterminded, Brennan, bouchard and

We flew over. There did a few days. Importer rico idea was February january february. Middle january. Think right after poland, I went there and comical who's. This youtube expert. He is me like louis, gotta go moral and a new term. Haseman. Tell me this for pride three years he's been I costly tellers I'm a failure, and that too- because I remember we have this conversation like two three years ago- easily, where we can just tweak and focus on a little bit of growth. Hacking on you too, and we just we weren't at that stage. We invest age this year, thus in the places we needed to be, I think, seeing him and also my girlfriend genetic she was telling me she's, like once you monetizing youtube, wouldn't have asked her not for five years we never made any money with youtube. why you monetizing this like look at what I did I my youtube channel. So turn on hurry to generals like huh. was showing me his doubts and others like we're. Just try this one.

What's this, I like see what it feels like for a few months. And we we want all in on youtube and weave Overall, this year alone doubled the views from the last line time of being on the channel. Where we but the views from last year as a right. And we're going to nineteen we triple the subs subscriptions and the reviews from last year, from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty, which were not even out of twenty twenty, yet have done yet. So it was a huge and it was really not until the last four months when we started to see the results, pay off and so Obviously we have eight hundred or nine hundred videos on youtube, just great content. Now our optimizing it like you back in two thousand articles on your website, but you never wrote them in the correct way is going back and kind of optimizing them as for the algorithm in the search engine to do its job growth. Hacking is real, it's real, and so it's been amazing, because so many people will message me now or even at the the mall. Recently we were at people

to us number like I where'd you find out about the school greatest, so many people are saying youtube being met. All Tom you to their father s, sword doubling down youtube next year, which is another big highlight of ours. The last to note things or outs highlights are notable things a highlighted. This is more of a a notable moment where the great kobe bryant passed away, which was kind of a shock to me in short to so many people in the world who are inspired by him such a sad moments and for me. It was. I am a motion on a tv watching this thinking to myself this is gonna, be like a bad dream, there was real nice with my girlfriend and it took me a couple of days to process. I think, because my experience with him, even though I only spent about an hour with him, was just really power- for the see how he showed up how he was

You know arouse office about six thirty. I am, and he was there for an hour to an hour and a half before then preparing for the day by him self alone. in this, the guy who already achieved everything who done it all, and he was just preparing for the day furniture. All success me with They powerful for two rough on his life and see how he grew, how we overcame mistakes, adversity and continue to show. As a father as a business owner all those things, so was really is quarter flag in was called to see the world honour him. show like hey when you show up at your high potential, like people get to notice it those pretty cool. So that was- and we did a repeat episode- and I think that was our top up so that the year right party, about besides our number one downloaded ups or the year right kind of, did my biggest lessons learned from Toby, share the interview

and it really impacted the people who were listening to it, the first time or listen to it again. So if you haven't checked that out make sure to check out the Kobe episode we did and then the last last big highlight notable tunnel highlight. Is we doubled our team this year? You know you, and I have been talking for years- about do we just higher contractors and agencies and keep it lean order. We build a team in house that is committed to greater mission and a cause who are all invested on the same thing in collaboration all day long. Hence we decided to do that so we ve been hiring. We ve been building themes. Some people left the team people joined and we're just all, and on building this team to serve the mission. That's what we ve been focused on It's been a process, you know we're not the best. That hiring and we're fingernails but it's been a lot of fun now on learning how to do this,

we ve had some great people support us and you know bridging the gap in speeding up the process, but I you know I definitely firmly believe- and I know you do too, that it's going to be the individuals on this team working behind scenes. Ten, you internet without incredible content to listen to watch to read the that's gonna, make the most impact you'd rather than lean. You know you lean down too much it's hard, it's hard to scale and gruff Then you can have a lifestyle business and you can in fact, a lot of people, but I think you can only go so far with the the depth and the impact with a few p I think we have to learn a lesson to for ourselves. Out of you know before we went all in on building the team full time and in that thing investing in the office back to space here and investing in the future in I'll be thinking ten thirty legacy brand far out verses right. How do we just focus on this year? Maybe next year

we ought? We did have for many years and we want to and on that last year, daring downhearted event, which was a great experience on this one. Today, in person, experience and I mean there's a hundred people in the room business leaders making anywhere between ten million in our five hundred million in the room so was cool to hear them all talk about the only weaken really scale is to build a team Can scale more progress and more things and more content, but, alas, people Now I mean maybe there's software solutions that small team optimize, but I think, to truly create a national or global business brand. You ve got a build. Your team we're gonna, go all and on team I definitely have we felt that it supported us with taking the next step in ilo even the last five years before we we ve, been in cross stage now were started to walk out and start job and a little bit? That's right and then running, hopefully hope it out

they challenge running yeah, so we we we doubled our team. This year we also partner with an incredible podcast network, wondering which is, I think, the top three or four network, world thou Our wish is amazing, so they have some of the biggest shows. They got a great team they really supported us in growth with awe. aspects of the audio started, the podcast. So how The team has helped us because before a lot I mean you just trying to do everything to many thanks as opposed to me and you and each person on the team focusing on what is their unique skill set because I should be doing less of everything else and more oil things that I should be doing the same. with you and, I believe, is moorish ranks or superpower gimme into it. So that's what we're learning it's. Obviously it takes time to to find the right people

Someone might come on, then they might leave within a few months. There's gotta be things like that. There's going to be on warning process of training people it takes time to to bring people on it takes money, it takes an investment in your business, but when you look at things from a long term minded it's all it'll be a better way to go in. Something that we found out is making sure we find people who fit. The culture was just about to say called hundred say that, yes, culture is key. Even other team call this morning, will members one specifically called out the fact that this is such a different environment that we create that you create a space they space a family environment, even though a growing amene our team is now at the stage where we're in we'll digits, whereas one when I start twenty two fifteen, where what five six of us here and now colluding you and then they had gone it. Sir. It's really buyer, and here that you know the culture that we're starting to create

colonel, is actually waiting out for attainments make an impact in their lives. Is that for me, is the thing cyclist practice. What we preach exactly do things that we talk about on the show in its you know the thing that I've been trying to focus on. The most is- and I hear this from a lot of other business owners who have bear teams they keep saying culture is key, like you can try skills. You can teach people things that the need to learn. But having the right growth mindset having the right attitude and the right effort is watching you to look for in building a team one person is lazy or one person is about attitude or one person is closed minded it starts to in fact, in effect every other member, the team that they're associating with so we have continually said. Listen if you Let me close mind any one of a bad attitude. We support you somewhere else. But if you want to be here, you ve got to have a positive attitude, is gonna, be encouraging and supportive of the team you gonna bring. The efforts

and indeed minded be open minded. You know not agree with everything but you'd just be opening mind an exploratory. So that's did the top highlights of twenty twenty and things to reflect. of twenty twenty. When I go to the top ten lessons, this is I'm excited here, yeah less. I mean it's definitely fun to reflect mean we had some incredible stuff happen this year. He'd stop. I mean I feel like a lot of people. Ask me how are you doing during the during this year and I feel like I I've been preparing for this type of a moment for a decade, so I felt prepared I I'm ready to invest mobility, and I felt Because I had you are my team. Together While we are on the same side- and I like we were both prepared- I think about it, then running this business alone and of a lot harder, because you manage a lot us moving parts and stresses so having the right. People on your team, who are also prepared, is big and making sure people are

up to the level of your your. But the number one thing the number one lesson is held the most important resource, so many people getting sick this year. So many people on healthy who you know attracted tobin and got covered, Fortunately, a lot of deaths this year strategy a lot of people, just sick in general, not only physically sick but emotionally mentally sick and an ends not healthy in general in their life. you said this a lot to me. You said, ultimately, if you start to, like you know, Uncloud your mind as to what the most important things are in your life, a really gets rooted in one thing: health, if you're unhealthy, you're unhappy- that becomes your focus. You have to get out of that place. That's the

one thing is focusing on your health yeah. We will say this all the time like someone, you could be the richest person in the world, but if you're sick and have cancer, you would give it all up to be healthy, like whenever we ve gone injured in the past. It's the worst doing, because you're like I'll do anything I'm gonna, walk. If you like her touring car I broke my wrist like this is the worst feeling, can do anything until I'm healthy is harder me product it's hard to do what you want and feel good about yourself if you're not well, for taking care of your health, and for me I think about controlling your habits. You can really take control of the habits of getting good sleep. Sleep is the foundation of good health of drinking of water of eating healthy foods, and if you do that, Three things? Your settings? offer a positive livestock into the fire. Thing, which is movement and physically working out its.

I am deeply proven that movement sweat, creates dopamine amene, which makes you feel happier those four key components. The base foundations and has important you hit a right, their happiness, hungarian mental health. This is also about mental health has resided about if your mental health is ailing or not there. Shift to things in your life. That's going to focus on that thing because in the day? If you wake up and you're, not in a good mental space, if you're not positive, I mean, because I mean I I woman that goes to my church. She's in the most incredible mood, she's going through cancer really in it the cancers eating away her, but her mindset, her mental health is so strong and so beautiful it's powerful to see that I mean just to hear that in a here. Somebody who is literally going through something that is eating at their body and still the mental space that she has to be positive. To show up to be cut. in loving and giving at that moment is amended

the power the mind I mean we see, we ve had our kind of pierre high costs talkin about this voice, a choice to because being sick or getting a virus or having cancer or getting injury? It's not funny but having a negative mindset around it during. It is not to make you healthier, but is not so I choose to be negative and respond with a negative reaction or you can choose it's not saying it's easy to be positive when you have cancer, but it's going to make your experience better. So you have the choice on how you respond it's not easy. It's hard daily choice. Is your choice to show up and smile or and give the someone else: air sharpened law for thirty minutes or eat something pot healthy, go to sleep at the right time. It doesnt choices of habits will decrease. Your life, so there's no one biggest lesson is health. I feel like we have done a good job together, horny each other accountable. Just

the ears and general taking on legal challenges. When are we going to poland? Last two years we did tat. I know to nine, with Jesse insular climbing a mountain Today's we run a lot. We worked out a lot finding someone even hold yourself accountable, is, is very help well, when you're not feeling good. So farmers, have you got yourself a lot harder than you ever thought? May sometimes we do it too much. I think, back to the days of breaking up break my ankles almost You got a definite set yourself, some rambo period, while you like that, can do it. If you just starting back up by eta well, health. You should never be a new year's resolution and should always be an every day resolution yeah. What am I going to do today to take care of my health? Now, my being take the day, take give yourself a bridge, For one day doesn't mean you have to be cross retraining every single day by day What are the decisions that are going to support my health, embracing I don't mean to say nears thing, racism,

day. Well he's a lioness. Have you ever finish the work out and said? I wish I didn't do that for me, I always tell myself endangered by a full right. Europe will not do it better. Do it smarter next, I always feel better. You definitely better secondly, lesson point twenty we went to fiji private mashed. My last year were tony robinson, being grassy, elsie and ten or twenty months. At the event, and we ve had is amazing time learning and connecting and stuff. But one of the things that tony continually, over and over his winter is coming prepare for winter, And we were all like How do we know like is going to be? What does it mean? whereas I met me five years away or something we know when it was coming in a few months, but using winter is coming right always be. from winder winter. and what that means is too, I think is more take inventory of a lot of things in your life. He clutter your life, make sure

spaces declared monsieur finances, are declared, may share relationships or be cluttered your health habits or be cluttered like organize your life and in building and growth marred as opposed to clutter mode. Sometimes we take on relationships that aren't support for our vision, our mission? We have on healthy eating habits. A lot of people, don't even know what their finances are. They don't know how much money they have in the bank. They don't know where their money is going. They don't know how many subscriptions they have and so deep quarter these things and take inventory of your life because winter is here and probably to come again at some point. Who knows what twenty twenty one is going to bring? it might be worse, it might be better, but preparing for it will make you ready, and I felt. I felt like we ve been building for years to be re. For this moment we had. Luckily, you know,

cash in our business accounts, so we didn't have to be one of the ones that shut down like so many businesses. We had enough to pay for the next few months for our team. We had enough to pay expenses, we weren't living, month to month, does we weren't overspending all the time? there's a lot of people that were reliant, it's not right or wrong, but we're alliance on stimulus. Jackson and other support from other people, because they weren't may be prepared at this time- and I get ten years ago I wouldn't have been prepared, because at that stage my life, but you've been working for five years or ten years, and you haven't fully prepared for winter. Well then, I think that's something to look at within yourself. If you're, just getting out of college and you've got no savings, then it's a different thing and that's why things port to always be planning for the future when something like this will happen again, because it will, whether that's it in crisis, the pandemic, a stock crap market crash job

market whenever it is something that has a law and he can will present. Something will happen so prepare, and I don't know if the darkest moments is here yet maybe Maybe it has been the darkness but What are the same. Batman at night is always darkest before the dawn. Is that what you're saying like it may not be the darkness? Yet it's been pretty dark this year. I hope it is, I hope it's over. Yet but getting better and less like some things are, but also the best and however, the worst her for the worst always- be preparing for winter and take We on these things. That would be the lesson number two lesson number three: its adapt flexible. We talk about this in our highlights, We really had specific goals and thing we planning to do this year beginning year we were like mapped out. Here's what we're doing for twenty twenty years things were doing the events We have launched a project,

All these things we are planning to do in pretty much. All of it went away and so any crazy man you seen over the past eight days ass. I saw the paper out on all your plans that you had your mind. I mean we have so many people coming here who are friends that we're speakers folds speakers made their living with millions of a europe of speaking from a big events. they had to cancel their entire on every speech, does labour income, gone zero for the un's for year, two years, three years who knows The lesson is to adapt and be flexible. The ones who are not adaptive inflexible are the ones that start too slow. Go backwards and we Luckily, again, we shifted Matt and I really came together and were like what can we do to shift? How can we take action now, not wait and see what happens If this is what's gonna happen, how do we take action now?

so you've got to be willing to be flexible and adapt and don't close yourself off the one thing I remember you did during that time you reached out to your network. What are you doing? Let's talk, great informational rate collaborate. Discuss, I mean I mean, I have to say that was really pay we'll see you just reach out to your network it obviously always doing is much diligence as I could. I might be fine, What others are doing and how you can actually handle a situation like this and adapt and grow from it for the positive yeah, we yeah we, you know we have this office here somewhere plenty plenty everyone to be here and then we said. Ok, I'm going go home. So like we're stood in space home. Now we weren't able to build the in person culture that we wanted to. After seven years of being virtual now we had just hired someone in a week in one week, both see a go or for home was hard to build the culture and the the community and the connection virtually, but we had to

Can we fight of what we are to create other ways to do? It is not perfect, but were caused me improved that so that something gotta be thinkin about. Always important in your life and relationships that doubt and be flexible in my relationship our challenging in certain ways for personal, Things like that, so adapting the place was number three number four emotional agility and and really embracing change, because, He's gonna goes hand in hand with adapting flexible. We, Susan David on, I think, three or four years ago, who wrote a book called emotional agility in this, a powerful skill set having if everyone had the superpower of emotional agility we would all be better human beings because some of are so reactive on our emotions, we don't have and jolly someone treasures.

We react, we get offending, we get defensive and that does not support our growth. That does not support people coming together. It's what hurts relationship it's. What causes harm in the world, so learning the ability of managing and being fly, more with your motions is key very hard to do when you send your ways very hard to do when you had years of pattering no patience. for me. I use a donor patients. And this year I had to learn to be patient even went on this is madness. I've seen you more pay, this year than I have ever seen you in the fifteen plus years. I've known you so often I've actually asked you a couple of times this year. How are you continuing to show up with more patients like what is this thing? That you're doing in your mind, what's the game you're playing with yourself. In your mind, or is it just

you know. You ve been sent across the sea for so long in our three years ago. Hearing about emotional agility and things are triggered in. You know this time for me as a region out a lot of mentors, Europe has coaches in saying. How do I do this is triggering mean one. It's also bringing on people who are experts at this unjust, taking on one little thing like we had It is edgar on who is one of the last holocaust survivor is talking about this mind you, I D, be patient when it seems like someone keeps getting frustrated with you and their level of rat reason. Irrationality does not make sense. We used patient with that and she was anxious. The killer is. I wish is that which is like smile and act as if, like just know this to pass at some point, just smile, and just be this is like he's

things that I'm like this doesn't make sense learning a nuisance also developed new skills, just practising it one day, Tom and say: ok I'll, do it, because I want to do what can I do better tomorrow and we making it a priority to learn: emotional jody. It's gonna benefit your life and the people around you. it's not easy. It's not easy. This is hard because I know you and I have relied on each other for that emotional support. Even for stuff outside of the office outside of our professional. You know careers. and I have to say I think you and I ve been shifted because back in the day, Thank you and I got it. You know it. You take the coach steps is, you know the fight that we got it right I immediately saw you get into a fight, and I had your back. I was like: let's go, I didn't even I didn't care what happened or what it's about. I was just like no I'm jumping in and I think, like you, and I always react that way for each other, as friends were like nah, I got your back dog yeah they're, wrong, they're, bad and wrong, and I got your bag whatever you say, but I think we're

helping each other the boy, the conversation and be more wise about situations they weren't, There is no you can't act like you're in your twenties and fight everything just because it feels good to I dunno, I fight it out like oh, no, I'm not going to let them win. Why think you just gotta understand the consequences of our lack of emotional jody when hold onto something. We harbour something when you resist something emotionally when you get angry unresentful, it hurts you sought hurting the person. it my be hurting the persons well by causing more friction. So when we caused, we live in place of what's double life and want to create. What's mine, It was my mission How do I want to respond? What's the best version of myself? What would they do and it's a matter of just reflect on ok, I was a want another ten in that but my life. How can I be the better. What could I do to respond with my love and

but the compassion so number, four emotional agility. make sure you are able to knots. Press emotions when something tragic. happens like covert or loss or loss of a job or relation break up, not suppress emotions process. Motions, but be not allow your motions to overwhelm you. You can't be also productive after a period of time is also important to talk about. So that's number four number five deep in your personal and intimate relationships. I think The world down with a lot of loneliness, a depression alot of mental health issues this year and people are isolated a lot of break up some marriages and relationships. and For me, that's a lack of intimacy. That's a lack of communication that a lack of courage, boundaries as well in your personal relationships and alive of really deepening those personal and intimate relationships.

For me, when I wore a time when the world is morn disconnected in terms of not seeing each other in person, more divisive in terms of conversations from the political side of things too everything else. I was happening the world. It costs a lot of on healthy people. I feel mentally and in relationships. A figure out a way deep in your personal relationships and for me you know my often move dan. We had some ups and downs and just like how do we manage this with the pandemic, and always and changes that are happening in our lives in it. cause friction where we had a really they say. Are we gotta go all vienna? We gotta bows out at different times and doesn't old coming together and say: what do we do to deepen this intimacy, how we really in each other and connect as opposed to fighting. That was a huge key, May the allowed me to have that kind of connection and deeper intimacy. So how did you feel about this You know it's interesting this. This really hit me in the moment. My

It reminded me of summit of greatness and, at my lad, was on the stage and talking about how he doesn't go in in his house after work bring his phone in, and I feel it especially right now, because everyone is at home world- I mean it's worth consumption boom that we ve never had before I mean everything there's a reason you tube is taken off. I feel fortunate dark people giving yet social media everything is booming right now. But are we actually deepening our relationships with people, especially the ones were in the same house with as I do? That is the most The people here in the house with those once you need to be deepened relationships, the people spending the most time with on a daily basis. Even your teams, we work with? you zoom, enact on video deepen those relationships. It's only going to support you as you continue to grow and move forward. So again, my just remind me of that, because I am always

Can I get the end of my week like what is my consumption is up on my phone? Overly or is it the same or down, hopefully, is samer down because iran content to and continuing to be on my device more more, more definite. Gonna take poland, somebody else pressure and me you know, so I think, deepening your personal relationships, especially the intimate relationships in your life huge. I mean I've got three year old, daughter, she's, a sponge, grow up, remembering me face down on my phone. you when I'm at home. Now you gotta spend some time you got a truly connect face to face and talk and communicate as humans have done centuries of- has huge and I think also clear on who you are core personal, like friends, are easier. We really want in your family beyond. your family like who are those close friends gonna be in those relationships, deepen those relationships

I think that's important. It's really belong and on those relationships, these six lesson There is to be led by a mission that inspires you'd it's what your vision and some one message me this morning, a saint louis. What excite what it gets you motivated to wake up every morning, sorry about life. Now, just like my mission, I think, when you not clear on your mission or your vision, what you're working towards you mean excited they get up in the morning, When my doing what's my purpose, what mission. What am I, what am I trying to do at this season of my life these next six months of this year to Heaven goals. What am I really valuing in my life? and so for me, we're we're just really clear on our our mission. and I'll just share our mission and our vision, which is our mission, is to inspire humanity to live greater love deeper and leave a legacy in our vision is to be the number one place to seek inspiration and make a positive impact on one hundred million lives weekly, and we do

through our our show. We do how, through our books are courses are trainees and things like at all events and other media, but getting clear that's, why we talk about people getting clear on their mission statement, whether it's a personal mission statement, a career. stay meant a busy, mission? Stay whatever may be our relationship statement? What's mission statement in the intimate relationship here and with your family with your health, the getting clear on this week the bell practices for greatness coaching too, to walk you through all these things. If you apply there, but this is where the key- and it's not hard for me to get up in the morning because we're clear to north gotta lotta without a shrewd true north I mean you're, gonna get lost yet and its, I think, is important it creates a core values for yourself, whether three five ten values just think about what are those values that I want to begin by that I want to be in support of with my life

so being led by a mission that inspires you to pursue your vision. When give p, the loser career. They lose our relationship. It's getting back to that was as part of my mission or vision. If not, Let me figure, I wanted to start working towards it and this- and this is our mission, but we ve had this for eight years and we have an accomplished the mission rennie closer, but we to combat it You don't look at this like if I don't achieve my mission in a year, we're all my goals right away. It's ok twice and porno. micro goals along the way every month a quarter of a year. Think about how can you craig goals that support your mission in your vision and that's really important Rather I mean you said it, I mean Our mission is a thing that were committed to date. our vision, is where we want to be its in the future. It's like what is that we're trying to head, but our mission is our true north right now

so we never lose sight of that and I think you know in life. That's also something I mean said saying you know be on animation, don't be a missionary, it allows you to also say no to the people in your life. That may be pulling you away from your mission. It allows you to hold true to those core values. You know what's a mission was demonstrate being on a mission in being a missionary. You know times when you're feeling like it always doing something for somebody else should not leave. You know living for yourself. You gonna, leave your personal mission and in an people that are lining with your personal mission because otherwise, you're gonna become falling back into missionary now can be living for yourself. You can be living for somebody else. I mean for me, that's That's deftly not aware in step with the way that the way we teach our can it is. You gotta be committed to your personal mission and vision for your life. what are you doing it for other people can be be fulfil right? If you someone else is dictating your life. You're not gonna, feel happier, and I feel like

that's what being a missionary s verses being on emission mission and whether that's you're in our entrepreneurial community, in your launching something yourself or that's finding? team to be a part of that supports your personal mission. right that allows you to to impact people in that specific way. With your skill set your talents, that's what an that's, what it means. So that some are six be led by mission. Inspire you to pursue your vision, number seven billion team men towards impersonal advisers. This is something I have been talking about personal advisory board for almost thirteen years now, as I transition from foot into life actually live football and was using linked in a sort of reaching out to personal advisers, who became part of this board of power, it's not advisors, another company I just like. I need people who are talented, who can help me in my life, and I think that mentors or can be personal advisory board or just a team of people that you collect

whether it be friends in support of a team, there might be, for you can be family members as well, but finding a board of people to support you. His that's something I do my personal life that's something we do here in school? Greatness is trying to recruit and fine gray people to build our team, but I think its import it can do everything alone. You can try have all the answers yourself. Doesn't everyone else is gonna. Have the answers for you also, you gotta make decisions, but always good to have people who have been there, who have done that that you can learn from so finding those people support you be key. It s number seven, build your team mentor and personal advisory board number eight. keep an open mind and be compassionate. You wanna talk about this one. I mean look at this year. I mean there's been so much this. That has happened. I will say that you know I've definitely try to keep up our business and inertia

on a true north that we're not gonna be in trying to get into but conversation, but I think we ve seen a very heated elect man at the end of it divide. isn't creating progress, How should we got only with compassionately with our hearts? So in I think, then when the social justice and a long overdue conversation that actually had had to be had in a big way this year and continue to be had. I think it's pretty powerful and I think people do need to keep it I'd there's something. That's another idea out there that you haven't created yet in your mind the open to it, listen to it. At the very least, you know and they do, and one of these out we love doing, is haven't people on from different perspectives in different backgrounds, different cultures different, ideologies, didn't philosophies and asking questions in this and sometimes we get you now heed or negative thomas, sometimes because one person might have a belief they might

ninety nine believes that are fit someone. But then they have one belief that doesn't fit a listener or viewers and then they say hey. You know I don't like personally had on, because that this one idea that doesn't resonate with Me- and I think can I have compassion and empathy for those certain listeners who may not be as went to just listening to people and not saying what they're doing, is right or wrong, good or bad, but just exploring and say, okay. Why are they thinking this way? Why do they have this belief? Why do they do these actions? So I think it's been, therefore for us to bring on aim broad range of individuals with different ideas. To just learn. More and something that way, continue to do he bring in our new people different perspectives to see what we can learn and it may not be popular overtime and may not be it may be uncomfortable at times for some people breathing its powerful release have the conversations

You talk about growth mindset and leaning in today's young people with you know where that you and your personal life, when your business, I mean lean into those conversations. Have this conversation, if you're not having those conversations, it's not going to get an easier target easier, so be of growth. Mindset be willing to hear another person. speak about something that you may not agree with the rapporteur No I mean we will learn a lot by have an open mind. You know I was unaware of Big sex trafficking was in the world until we had TIM ballard on and he really kind. Open our eyes by just like asking questions and having given conversations again a sunday. I think a lot of people don't want to look at because we're the hard, but we, We had him on that video did over a million views pretty quickly within a few days and exposed. But to a new idea that might be happening in their backyard. We think sex trafficking, as happened in another country somewhere, but it's happening in the usa is happening in every country

being willing to have someone on to share information and statistics and how big this actually is. An idea like sex trafficking, was powerful for our community to learn about that. Doing that, with the people from talking about social justice. We do this on education, a lotta given We're trying to tap into the learn about and have an open mind about so we can try to learn more about how we can be better. I think that's what they call it having an over mine in your life when you're mean the people who make dont have the same background that don't look like you that art don't talk like you, being open minded about people that you mean your life and really being compassionate four people have always knows. You always had a curious mind on many many many topics and enormous sums I'll, just focus on. They know you'll get my audible, it's like a lot of business books and

The public has been incredible for me to also just happen to like just the above What I can talk about it in you know different conversations about in life not just one thing: it's not just focusing just on business. Just relationships just on health and fitness wellness, it's an all things, so, I think you're curious mine. As always, does my view has always been really power or for me to see you be willing to have conversations. I mean I don't, I didn't want to lean into having a conversation or talk about sex trafficking. I got three year old daughter, it's something that terrifies me. So I closed myself off to even thinking about it. Until you had tim on the on the show, it was really powerful for me to see, because I think it's in We powerful movement had safely educational that we all have to be open to be. learning about? What's going on out there? Even if it's in payments bring an hour on discomfort, tat, those conversations

so so have an open mind, be compassionate towards people's lives that are different than you doesn't mean you gotta, understand everyone, but trying to put it when their shoes and having some compassion from their point of view. It's always gonna be, number nine number tat number nine is We went through a lot of stress here, a lot of loss and stress and hardy. and challenges, and I think, the key solutions is to be positive, start somewhere, the big lesson that being negative during a time of on sir He is not going to help you. I just No that's! It gets a little something: a solution, positive- will make you feel better will make the people are, you feel better will make you feel happier we make better decisions from a place of love and positivity, now place of fear and anger. I stress we do so be positive.

Or when the thing you have to be this fake positive person every day when something private happens. That's not that's not real. That's not authentic feel range of emotions goes through. You need to go through grieve before to be angry. Be upset, be hurt me sad. That's ok, it's all good things to feel, but then lean back into your mission. Ok, how could I take a step forward? and maybe it's going to take a few days or a couple of weeks for you to process certain things we're all different. I get it, but do our best to be positive, do our best to be grateful even in the worst of times. What can you find that something to be grateful for how could how could you be grateful in a moment extreme pain. If you had to be shifted language somewhere, we talk about it. With some of our team and ourselves. You know I have to do this.

Would you tell me I have to do it? You get to do it then go beyond that you, don't you get to do it you'd like to do A blast do because, right, because you have in place to go to right now and thirty million people are unemployed, because your body is healthy. You get your blessed to go work out today, because a lot of people canker work out today your blessed to do certain things, because We have so many opportunities, but some we can lose sight of our perspective, a life or just see challenges or the overwhelming. So so consuming that it's hard to take a breath and How could we have some time even when it stressed, even when things are going well, even when we're scared about the business like yours, something good in the challenge is a practice to find gratitude and be positive during those times it's not about being enough,

and taken faking. It is about saying, ok, I had a really shouting day. Everything went wrong, but if I had to be grateful for something, what would I be grateful for If there was something I was forced to find gratitude, what what are we waiting for? then you start to look at things with a different perspective and that's all trying to say practices right. There practice practice, positive menus, a team cause when we start tumblr call. when you buy shares. What are you grateful for it's a practice and sometimes it's hard to find what you're grateful for how many years have we been doing money team calls and sharing more grateful for for years years and years and years to practice I'm positive this month in next month, I don't need to be reduced, the time which are grave. Warsaw practice, it practice positivity, pink attitude and the tens want the big, the tenth lesson. may twenty. She wasn't crazy here, for so many people is to incorporate play

People were try to launch new progress a family challenges, health concerns, fear media overwhelmed? There's all these things. I get it responsibilities all these things and one of the best you can do, is take a ten minutes to have fun and and play live a scooter the schooner pretty much life saved our year the year, scooter because we would say fundamental day for ten minutes and play a little games, the scooter screw around the astute around the office, and literally just be like a kid for ten minutes and save around us even get out get around the whole office without taking a step and make a little of course, just cylinder Things make a game out of it.

It's just like play night. It's the most beautiful You see your kid play and just play at a nothing days and tat- is, should just be talking or self in her mind about like I can even makes two sensitive, but it's the cue to stay because she just having so much fun, she's critic, joy, herself in a moment, our nothing, nothing, string out a little ball out of something please up on your head and acting like a different person like it bring the child, like curiosity, that you have and told me more plainer life?

Ten highlights of our year here at school greatness, It definitely hasn't been easy, but has been worth it, we ve we ve, we ve developed new skills we ve had a share in old habits, were still not perfect and still learning and growing, and optimizing I think that's the beauty of of life every year. When we do this, we think about how much we have grown It is so much more to grow into every year, always twice. When one is going to be. We said and twenty will be our biggest forever. And allow always was we could develop and grow is one of the hardest years ever but I think we as a team darwin, said how we gonna thrive during this time,

or episode. Yeah I've heard time great argument how she thrive in the holocaust. I mean No, it's really thriving but how she chose to share passion for the guards were killing her family? The goose bumps crazy. How can you have compassion for someone who killed your parents and essentially. imprisoning you for over a year and treaty. You like lesson animals. So for me someone like her. We can learn during the darkest time and find play and fun in a concentration camp.
