A short excerpt from a YouTube interview (Andy Neary with another speaker) offering advice to people who feel stuck and hesitating to make changes. Key points: accept imperfection and stop comparing yourself to others; take imperfect action; sharing personal/fitness content (e.g., CrossFit/gym posts) can inspire at least one person and may have professional networking benefits.
What advice would you give them if they know they're stuck? They're in that pivotal moment, like, I got to do something, I've got to make a change. You obviously made a massive one with your health, but there's a lot of people who sit stuck in that moment and then they kind of let mediocrity reign. What would be your advice to those people?
You're never going to be perfect. Stop comparing yourself to other people. Chris Hamilton's opened up a lot in this, in this short time, and I've always looked up to him as someone that's super successful. And he's going through a rough patch right now, and it's like, man, we're all human. At the end of the day, you think this guy's on the pedestal of the top and he is. He just got broker of the year. That's the biggest award of the year.
And he's, he's opening up to us about the stuff's going on in his life too.
Yeah, yeah, perfect. No one's perfect. Even guys like Tom Brady have shared stuff on the Internet that you're like, man, that's brutal. But to my young producers out there, just. Just do it. If you get one good thing that comes from it, you just change one person's life or you touch one person and that's all it takes.
And I think that's what you and I have talked about a lot with content is like, people might wonder why you're posting the content of CrossFit and the gym work and. But you don't know who you're going to inspire. And that one person you inspire could be that CFO at that prospect you've been trying to do business with.
Yeah, my, my CFO for my largest client, she goes to another CrossFit gym and they do the same program. She's like, oh, I see that you posted the workout before. I do it at 5:30. And I'm like, huh, that's funny.
