Being Weird Can Be Your Key to Your Success [Here’s How]

You're listening to Freedom Fast Lane, presented.

By capitalism dot Com. This is the show about building businesses.

And investing the profits so that you.

Can live life on your terms.

All right, hello, everyone. Elon and Guy here from Satori Prime. Say hi, buddy.

Yo, yo, yo, yo. What's up, people?

So we're back here on the Freedom Fastlane podcast, and I just wanted to first start off by thanking you guys. We've had so many of you guys reach out to us after the last few podcasts that we've done here, shared some of your stories. We've gotten to work with some of you. It's been absolutely amazing. So just want to honor you. And we got something very cool in store today. We were brainstorming many, many topics and what we could do. We wanted to do something like, sexy and provocative and yet be super informative. So we've labeled this one How Being Weird is a Secret Recipe for Success. And we'll probably take this in a bunch of different angles. The ultimate intention and the outcome for this particular talk, if you will, is I think a lot of people, especially entrepreneurs.

Are in a constant fight with themselves because they feel out of place. We so don't follow the norm of what society thinks is okay and right and all that stuff. And I think from a very, very young age, a lot of us have always been slightly or more than slightly against the grain and have been people who never kind of followed the herd or understood why. All these people are just kind of going in this direction. And we're told that, you know, we're wrong for thinking certain things or doing certain things or dressing certain ways. And I think that kind of core programming.

Has controlled a lot of the things that we are, what we believe we are, et cetera. And especially when someone's really trying to step out and do something really big. It's these core programs that kind of stop the flow of creativity and I think put a lot of people in the box. So today, we want to kind of debunk that entire myth and actually talk to you guys about how your weirdness is one of your greatest assets, in fact. And the weirder and more out there you allow yourself to be, how that actually impacts your business. So one of the things I want to just share with you right off the bat is there's a great book by a guy named Stuart Wild. The book's called Infinite Self. And in it, Stuart creates this amazing distinction where he calls the weirdos, you know, us, probably everyone on here, guy and I for sure, he calls Us fringe dwellers. And I think it's a great term. I think weird has a lot of connotation with it. Fringe dweller might be easy for someone to kind of grab a hold on to. And fringe dweller, if I can just wrap what he said really quickly, is, you know, everything in the world happens, like, within this circle. Fringe dwellers are the people that are always kind of like, sitting at the edge of that circle, always kind of peering out into the unknown, looking for what to create, what's next, where are things going? They're not the people that conform and just kind of follow the rules. And it's these fringe dwellers. It's us, every one of you that is listening. I believe wholeheartedly you're part of this fringe dweller community.

What we have found is that the more you allow yourself to be who you are, unapologetically who you are, the more success will come, whether that is in relationship capital, whether that is in mental capital from an idea standpoint, or whether that is just in money in your bank account.

Our process, especially when we work with entrepreneurs, is just allowing them to be themselves unapologetically to such a degree that it becomes contagious and attractive for those around them. Like, I feel like every role model that you could probably come up with, you know, Ryan, probably being one of them. Like, one of the characteristics that we love about people that we look up to is that they just. I'm gonna say it in a way, in a weird way, but, like, they just don't give a fuck. And not like they don't give a fuck about people. It's. They don't give a fuck about what people think think about them. And that creates any of the decisions that they're making. And that's a really powerful place. It's very sexy to us to see other human beings that operate from that place where they can just be their own person. So that's really what we want to kind of talk to you guys here about today. And with that, I'll let Guy take it from here.

Yeah, well, it's like operating free of perception. So, yeah, I absolutely love that. It's funny that you bring that up, I think.

Well, I want to create a more holistic view on everything because. Right. What we're going to say is while your average person is dealing with trying to become more normal, all these entrepreneurs are trying to deal with trying to be more weird, which is another way of saying, like, bringing out your unique gifts. Right. And stuff like that. Here's the funny part. They Both create pressure. I just had like a conversation with a friend of mine this weekend who I haven't seen in quite a while.

And.

And she's a strange bird.

She's highly psychic. I mean, for lack of a better word, she's kind of talking to aliens. And I validated a lot of the stuff that comes through her was really beautiful crystal stuff like that. And she kind of confided me. She's like, I've been sad. And she's like, sad, like suicidal sad. And I'm like, wow. And we had this really beautiful conversation at the end. She said, thank you so much for letting me be weird. And I said, honey, like, that's great. I'm like, what if we took the emphasis off the need to be weird, right? Because it's kind of. It's like a both and right? Like everything is a little bit paradoxical and it's both giving you its gift. And it's like we all want to fit in normal, right? And yet we all want to stand out, be these like crazy unique people. And I think you just got to again, like, choose in and know when to choose in. If I'm sitting at a dinner table with my family and they're all talking about something that they're really connected with, and I'm like, hey, guys, you know, in 1640, dinosaurs were walking all over Britain eating people. And they're like, what the fuck he's talking about? Because I'm really concerned with being weird. It's like Andy Kaufman, you know, like, that kind of weird also doesn't work. So I think it's almost like giving up that there is a way. I do think it's cool to kind of like lean into your weirdness once in a while. Let the freak flag out a little bit. Enjoy being an entrepreneur. Say some things that people might not enjoy. I think what, what is valuable from what you were talking about is, look, when we say weird, I think part of it is like true self expression, right? So it's like, can you authentically share yourself in a way that touches, moves and inspires people? That's what an entrepreneur many times does, right? Granted, there's entrepreneurs just hooking products, like selling stuff on Amazon. There's people who are creating social movements like Elon and myself. None of it is right or wrong. It's just like, what kind of entrepreneur are you? You don't necessarily need to be weird to push some product on Amazon, right? Like, you could be whatever you are. So I think again, I just want to not vilify one or the other. I do think that there's something very valuable, though, and allowing yourself to look at, okay, what is the status quo of humanity? And if I want to deliver on something that creates value in a new way, or I want to speak to a certain group of people that is more in line with my energy and my body, then kind of just going down the rigmarole of the normality. It's probably not going to get you there because you're not going to get a lot of attention standing in a crowd, doing what everybody else is doing, being what everyone else is being, speaking how everyone else is speaking. And I can tell you I love that fringe dweller feeling. I love that weird feeling at the same time with all the stuff that me and you work on and how we get to accept everything, make everything right. Right. Not judge anything. The moment I. The moment I start leaning into weird as it's the right thing to do and being normal is the wrong thing to do, I judge everybody who's not that, and I don't have any way to effectively work with them.

So let me recontextualize weird, because the way that you took it is a little bit different.

It's what you said in that piece, which is like, unapologetically you, and I think unapologetically you is an energy. There's like an energy behind.

You.

Whenever you are so comfortable in your skin that you can say what is right for you to say and. And be responsible for how that lands for other people. A lot of people, like, oh, say whatever the hell you want, you know, like, there's another person on the other end.

That's the I don't give a fuck crowd.

Yeah, like, you, you can. That. That's the, you know, the other side of I don't give a fuck. Like, I mean, when. Cause most people, especially when they're entrepreneurs, we go through this whole contrast bias thing where we're constantly comparing ourselves to everyone around us and not only people that are above us, right? Like, you have people above you that you're trying to, like, justify in your head. Like, why do they. Why are they so far ahead? And then you always have, like, people that you look at, well, they're below, right? And we're like, constantly doing this, like, measuring act of ourselves. And so then comes this other piece. You go to all these networking events, right? And whatever business model you're in, and you go there, and it's this whole, like, pressure situation. It's like, how do I look? How do I sound. Did I say the right thing? Like, can I walk up to this person? Right. That takes a lot of energy. A lot. One of the things that annoys me more than anything else is people that show up one way on videos or even on stage, and then you're in a private room with them or somewhere else, and they're like an entirely different person. I can't tell you how much that irks me. It's just. I don't get it. Like, do you really put on, like, a mask and go out and do these things and then you. Like, in your private life, you're a complete. It just doesn't make any sense. So I can tell you from an energy perspective.

The more you're in tune and aligned to who you are, that you don't have to apologize for it. That you get to say whatever is there for you to say, obviously, be responsible for it. That you get to do the things that feel right for you.

That you just get. And you don't do that with, like, every step of the way going, oh, I wonder how they're gonna think. Or I wonder what this person's gonna say. Or I wonder if. If I go to this group, like, right, you know, inside of you, your truth. You know that truth. And the more you let that truth out, the more that impacts the success of your business. To the point that even if you are selling products on Amazon, okay, There's still an energy to that. Right? I'm not saying, like, you need to be the guy in a fucking blue wig with, like, a pink shirt on and your business on Amazon. No, that's not the weird I'm talking about the weird I'm talking about or the fringe door I'm talking about. It's like, there are things in you that. That you hide from other people. And you spend a lot of energy and a lot of time hiding those things from other people. I'll give you an example for me. Like, I grew up and the program that I programmed myself from a very, very young age. All of these weird programs are created from a very young age. Something happened to me. It's inconsequential at this point. And somewhere at the age of, like, four, I decided that I was a loser. And so, like, my whole thing, my entire life was hiding from everybody that I'm a loser now. This was all done unconscious. It's not like something I was like every day I was like, okay, you know what? I don't want them to know I'm a loser. So, like, I Didn't do that. It just something got programmed in and that's the program. And the program to protect me did all that stuff. Now obviously created some wonderful things. Like you can imagine if you're trying to hide them. Loser. Like you have to get good at shit, right? So that was great. And even that came with a price. So like, as we started to do this work, I started to see, wow, I'm a loser. Who's really been riding the show for other people that we coach, you know? You know who the people with the most PhDs and master's degrees and who are like the most incredibly educated people are those that their program is I'm stupid always. If you have three PhDs on your wall, I guarantee you your thing is I'm stupid. Because everything you've been doing in life is to prove to other people that you're not stupid, right? So you can kind of see like. And what I would tell you is like, that takes a lot of energy, whether you're consciously doing it or unconsciously doing it. And when we're talking about being a fringe dweller and weird and all that stuff, like letting your freak flag fly, it's what if you got to live in existence where you didn't hide the thing, where you didn't have to put on some other mask to.

Fit in or belong or feel accepted or loved or any of that stuff. Like, how much more energy would you be able to contribute to creation and manifestation and connection and love and peace and freedom in your life versus all this other stuff?

Yeah, I think it's all. It's just a discussion. There's no right or wrong here. We could say we're wanting to normalize being weird. Right? And more than anything, it's like normalizing authenticity.

I would say sexify.

Sexify.

I'm normalized.

Yeah, well, you know, you know, fair enough. We could use them all.

Sexify.

Sexify.

So.

There'S something really powerful into leaning into it just to discover new things about yourself. I think a lot of entrepreneurs definitely turn to logic and understanding western minded type of thinking for creativity. I always found it really interesting early on in coaching, even today how like creatives will oftentimes actually choose trauma over healing trauma because they feel like the core of the creativity is coming from the trauma. In Hollywood and other places a lot where this kind of stuff runs rampant, people actually sometimes don't want to do the work because they feel like they're gonna lose the essence of what makes them creative instead of like realizing or noticing the Creativity really comes out of like almost sporadicism and sitting in silence, creative thought just comes through and that you don't actually have to drive the ship all the time. Look, I think an argument could be made in both directions. I would assert, at least in my experience, this is a personal experience that most of society is conditioned to be normalized, is so afraid to step out of line, is so afraid of the social backlash of saying something that they're not allowed to. Especially in today's world where, you know, political correctness has gone, like, really, I would say, way too far.

The pendulum has swung far in the other direction.

Yeah, and it's interesting because, like, there's conversations and I'm like, I'm glad we're having that. And I'm hating how the conversation is being had. At the same time, a lot of what we're seeing in Hollywood today with like, you know, the sex and stuff. And I'm all for, like, women having sex, feeling safe. Like, that's totally in line with what I'm committed to. I've actually had those kind of conversations in my life before. Not as a perpetrator, but as somebody who's like, stood up for those kind of rights. And I think it's valid. I think when it starts becoming like a hey, look what they're doing and using it like that, then it becomes ineffective. So just to kind of like bring it back to the entrepreneurial stuff. We kind of have lived in this world where people are so afraid of like their comment box, you know, like, if I put this, like, what will they think? And it's like, okay, well, you're stifling part of yourself. If it's really in your heart to go and like share something online and however weird it is, whatever. So I'll say this Netflix, I don't know when this will air, but Netflix a few days ago aired a new documentary called Andy and Jim. And it's Jim Carrey playing Andy Kaufman 20 years ago for man in the Moon.

Oh yeah.

So there was a behind the scenes documentary being done and the girl filming it is actually Andy Kaufman's ex girlfriend, like before he passed away. So this was something Jim Carrey wanted to share with the world because it was a form of artistry. Jim said when he took the role that he lost himself and that basically, like the spirit of Andy, like tapped him on the shoulders, like, can I use your body? And for the entire time they filmed it, he was Andy Kaufman. Like, he, like, he couldn't think. Like, Jim, like, just checked out he smoked cigarettes the entire time. And Andy Kaufman and one of his.

Buddies who, like, did comedy in the 70s, and it was really fucking weird comedy, by the way. It wasn't even comedy. It was just like, let's push the envelope of what people think is real. Basically, they created an alternate character, this guy called, like, Tom Clifton, who was this, like, drunk, fat person. So, like, Andy would get booked on shows and this guy Tom would show up instead. And Andy wouldn't break character. Like, he would just tell him. He's like, I don't know who the fuck you're talking about. I'm Tom. So Jim had to play both in the movie. And I'm telling you, watch it. And you're not watching Jim Carrey. You are like, I have chills thinking about it. So what's cool about it is Universal asked him to bury. Bury the footage because he was such. He's such a big megastar. Like, he took off in 94, 97, this movie came out, and they asked him to bury the footage because they thought it made him look like an asshole and they didn't want to ruin his branch, which they didn't think they could sell. If people saw that, huh? They said, bury this footage. Don't let it out. And it's been 20 years now, and they were finally like, okay, you know, whatever. And if you guys have seen Jim Carrey recently, he's, like, spiritual fucking master, Jedi guru. And it's him now talking about that 20 years ago. So it's him with the beard, like, from this really spiritual place talking about this. So it's an awesome movie. Like, I absolutely loved it. And, like, Jim Carrey's the fucking man. He's, like, one of my top five people I don't have dinner with. So I really loved it. Now, why am I saying that? Because what I. What? I don't know. Andy Kaufman. Because it happened before my time. It was, like, early 70s, late 60s. And that's kind of what it was. He was, like this experiment of, like, bending reality for people and what they thought was allowed and purposeful. And he just. And he pushed so hard. The thing is, like, he couldn't come out of the character because if he came back, the things he did were so fucking weird and sometimes debatable as, like, borderline schizophrenia. Other things that if he broke character, he would have to deal with those things. It almost seemed like he had to keep going deeper into the character to not be called out on it. Do you know what I mean?

Yep.

So the reason I'M bringing all that up is like, he's a person that was like, look, this is my self expression. He always seemed to be that way. And if he was concerned with what the public thought about what he was doing, he would have had to break character and go back into this little shell and break his. And break what was purpose to him, what was self expression to him. And you know, whether you're an entrepreneur or whether you're just somebody, I don't believe that any human being on this planet is full, whole and complete unless part of what you're committed to is your full self expression. Then you're one of these humans who will call normalized or another way to say it is when I look at people who are normalized, quote unquote, it's a person with one foot in their grave. They're not living, they're waiting their time out and they're not doing much or being much with really the gifts that they've been giving really for the one thing, it's like, what will they think? And it's kind of like what Elon brought up. There's this part of ourselves that we shame so much that we feel if other people found out that that was broken, even though it's not really broken, we're just so ashamed of it that like, we would, I don't know, turn into a black hole and get sucked through it. You know, different people have different experiences with why they don't let that out. I know for me, it was the same thing around depression and suicide. It was stuff I didn't want to talk about because I didn't want to be judged through that lens. And then the irony of this whole thing is that when you start sharing about that stuff, you inspire people because there's so many people dealing with this kind of stuff that it's actually what lets you out of the shell. And people embrace that authenticity with love and they actually want to get closer to you. Where people think it's like, wow, if I tell people they're going to run away from me. And if you run that experiment, you will find, because we've taught this to thousands of people, when you let that out, like what happens is people get connected to you, it actually becomes your power story.

It's because it takes so much courage to step up and do something like that. That.

That'S why these role models, that's why we look at these people that are able and willing to go there.

Hey guys, this is Ryan. We're gonna take a quick break and we'll return to the show in a second.

I get a lot of questions about what I think of some of Tony Robbins investment strategies, especially the ones where he talks about assets that can go up in value over time, but don't participate in any downside. I don't agree with all of Tony's investment recommendations, but I do participate in investing in insurance, which is one of the things that he's describing in that strategy. Now, I want to give you a warning. When I went into that investment strategy, I got schmoozed over by a slick salesman. And I wish that I had used a sophisticated firm that was actually dedicated to that. That's why I had Wealth Point on the podcast recently. And I'd encourage you to go listen to that episode about infinite banking. Now, infinite banking isn't the proper term to describe what they do. They actually use a modified version which is called capital warehousing. But what it basically allows you to do is park cash like you would put it into a bank, participate in the growth of the market without participating in any down, and you still get access to that capital so that you can put it into other investments. So if you've got money sitting on the sidelines, you might want to use capital warehousing as part of your strategy. So you can go over to gowealthpoint.com freedom to learn how the strategy works, or you can just listen to the episode that we had with Sam Prentice from wealthpoint here on the podcast. It's called how the Rich Use Infinite Banking for Tax Free Wealth.

To be a fringe dweller, okay, you have to accept that there are going to be people that absolutely love and adore you, and there are going to be people that absolutely hate you. You know, like, I can't tell you how many people love what guy and I do, and there's a whole group of people that absolutely hate what guy and I do.

I think hate's a bit of a strong word. I would just look like anything else online. If you think you're gonna avoid trolling online, that's like you're gonna avoid breathing when you walk outside, you know? Yeah, it's just gonna happen.

Yeah. And if that's what's stopping you or stopping you from having a conversation with someone or asking someone for a meeting or taking whatever that plunge is for you. Right. Like, a lot of the times people that we work with are in a transition where they're going from an employee mentality, they're looking to start their own businesses, things like that. And inherent in that right? When you step out on your own and you're the only one that can be held responsible, there's a lot of stuff that comes with that and it unpacks a lot of stuff like old stories and old perceptions and how your parents were about businesses and money and what you saw. All of it just kind of like bubbles to the surface really, really fast and it's disorienting for a lot of people.

The most successful people I know are people that have got. And I'm not talking success just as in money in your bank account success, okay? So like I don't want you to hear it as just money in your bank account. I mean the people that have the healthiest relationships, both intimate and friends, amazing parents.

Really fit.

Surround themselves with amazing people, right? Like those people.

Have gone deep and worked on themselves. Those people have made it their life's mission to unleash their soul's purpose and gift out onto the world. No matter what the majority will think of it because it's their God given right and it's their self expression. And if you take nothing from this other than this, it's like.

There is.

So much gift inside of you right now.

The thing that's kiboshing, that gift from fully being unleashed is your concerns about looking good, your concerns about what people will think, your concerns about how you will show up, right? Like if I fail, what will it mean? You don't give a shit about what you say. What will they say? You know, when my house was being foreclosed on and I had a baby on the way, like I could deal with, okay, I, you know, I'm gonna live on the street. But like what would others say if they saw me living on the street? Like what would. That's the kind of stuff that keeps you up at night, right? And you're here to have your life's journey. And your life's journey is your life's journey, right? It's going to have your experiences, your wins, your losses, your loves and your heart. It's going to have all of it. Because that's what makes a great movie, right? Like it's boring for any anything else. If you just got that and got that, everyone else is going through their movie with all their stuff, right? And social media today makes it very difficult to understand. It should be like, what did someone say this weekend? They're like.

Exact exaggeration book instead of Facebook or something. I was like, yeah, you know, it's kind of what it is. Like no one want very Few people will go on Facebook and be like, I just had the worst fucking day. And, like, this is what's happened. You know, it's like, I. I made this amount of money three years ago, but I extrapolated it now to be, you know, my three years worth of income. And, like, I make this now every day. And. Right. Like, it's hard. And I think now more than ever, we live in a world where transparency is key. And if you get that as a human being, every one of us has a really serious, like, bullshit detector. You know, like, you walk into a room, you feel energy, whether you're even conscious about energy or not, right? Like, you've walked into the room. People have just fought in the room. They're like, hi. You're like, what the fuck just happened in this room? Right? Like, you don't need to be a therapist or anything. You just feel that energy. Like, there's places that you've walked into. You're like, I don't know why I can't be in here right now. Right? Like, we feel that. And so.

I was just reading a book that this upcoming generation, like, the millennials and millennials is not an age thing. They were talking about millennials as, like, people that have a certain thought process. Like, there's a thought process to millennials. And baby boomers today think more like millennials than. Than they did as baby boomers. It's just like a. It's not an age thing. It's a societal thing. Like, we're going through a change. You know, we're the most marketed 2 generation of all time from a very young age. Like, I'm talking people who are, like, way younger than us. They have been dealt so much hype and BS from the day they were born that they're like, everyone's at the point where, like, enough's enough. Enough's enough. Like, and that's why people that share quality stories, people who are authentic and transparent, are people who are kind of starting to become more, I don't know, famous is the right word, but, like, more sought after, I guess. And it doesn't matter, again, like, whether you're behind the scenes selling products or anything like that. There's a team that you manage, there's a family that you roam around, there's friends that you be with, Right? Like, imagine if you were living a life from that place of, it's okay for me to be me, and it's okay for it. In fact, it's not just okay for me to be me. It's the ultimate fucking game in life. Be the most you you could be. Everyone else is taken, right? Like, and the more you be you, the more opportunities you attract, the more people want to be around you, the more money people will give you. Like, money follows value. Period. End of story. To be more valuable, you have to be willing to be more you. And I know that at times, like, it seems like you're standing on the edge of the world. Like, if I take this step, this is going to really, like, it feels like it's going to kill you.

Yeah.

And yet look at your own life experience and realize, like, every time you've taken one of those steps, every time.

Not only have you survived it, you've thrived it. Like, it's the thing that's produced the amazing results in your life. And yet notice how the programming keeps you standing on the edge, keeps you from taking that plunge over and over. And so I'd love to offer you guys, like, go, go. Just play it and take those risks and say what they're there for you to say instead of worrying about being accepted or loved or they'll run away or this and that. Like, next time you're at that moment, speak, act, and just play with what happens. You know exactly what's going to happen if you don't.

Take that chance.

And there's really not enough.

Like, information that you can gather to make that happen. Right. Like, you can go. What are those classes where they teach them how to speak in front of a room?

Speakeasy or.

No, no, no. Something like that, though.

Whatever.

It'll come back to us, right? Like a public speaking course. Right. You don't go there and they're like, okay, well, step one, you're gonna step out in front of the audience. Step two, you're gonna wave with your right hand. Step three, you're gonna smile, you're gonna remember to say your name. It's like, you're not gonna get it that way. You just kind of get on stage and you just kind of go and figure it out. I mean, we've been speaking on stage for close to six years now in some capacity. There are times I get in front of a room with a hundred hundreds of people. I get on stage, I'm like, I'm good. There have been times where I'm in a room with, like, 12 people and I got to give a talk, and I'm, like, freakishly nervous. And it's actually funny. It's kind of in reverse because when there's a big room you can kind of avoid presence. You're kind of just looking out over the audience. And when it's a small room, there's that like, oh, I'm really being seen here. It's intimate, and it's intimate, and it changed that. And I've known that for years. Like, you took a CEO who could talk in front of thousands of people about the business, could do it all day long. You put them in front of three people, ask them a personal question, they turn into, like, a raisin. They can't say two words, and it's this interesting dichotomy. So, like, that's what it is. It's. You know, there's. There's no secret to getting on stage and just feeling great. I'm sure the best artists on the planet feel so nervous before they get out there or they vomit or, you know, whatever happened to the body? Because, again, that's an automated response. Since you were a kid, if you had some bad experience early on with getting in front of people and talking, and that response is going to be there when you have to get out in front of people and talk. And again, a lot of people just wait. They're like, I'll take a course or put it off, or, like, I'll do this challenge. And it's like, there's really only one way. And it's interesting, right? I remember writing, like, long pieces of content, blog posts, making videos, and, like, my hand shaking as I would post it online. Because for those same reasons, it's like you almost have to convince your mind that it's not unsafe. You know, like, it feels like things are unsafe, so it doesn't want to take that action because it's like, well, things are going to be safe if we do that. Funny enough, is, like, the more you have those thoughts, the more the unsafe type of circumstances you seem to attract yourself. Because I do remember early on having, like, clients that were like, that would, like, come and find us, and then they're just like, oh, my God, this is terrible. Or wanting to send them away, or, you know, the conversation would just get weird. Like, now I've gotten so good at kind of identifying that energy. And it's also not really an energy that shows up around us anymore because I just don't have that belief and ethos that things will go that way. So it's like, even when things aren't perfect, I just know the next great thing is coming. And you just.

Sorry to cut you off. Like, you just hit on that point, which is.

Our energy when we got started, because we were trying to be something, right? Like, we thought this is what it looked like to be a coach, right? And because of that, we attracted certain opportunities and certain clients. Our ability to be us today, to be so okay with this is how we show up. Like it or not. Like, this is who we are. Always podcasts, bar, restaurant, live event, stage, Always the same. That's started to attract a whole different type of opportunity and a whole different type of client base. And that's really what I mean. Like, a lot of the times people are so externally focused, right? Like, my business isn't doing this, so what do they do? It's like, okay, well, this person's doing that. That's got to work. And then they go do that thing, but that thing doesn't work for you. Yeah.

And so, you know, when. When we got to look, like, inward and be like, we're just gonna be more us and more. And. And by the way, this is an ongoing process. This is not like, I've reached some place where I'm like, no, I'm always uncovering what's in the way, what's the thing that I'm not quite safe feeling safe to say or take action on, etc. And, like, guy and I have just trained ourselves, like, that's what we go after.

So.

Yeah, sorry to cut you off. I just want.

No, no, it's all good. I just want to clarify here, right? Like, the. There's that attitude of, like, no, no fucks given. I was actually walking through a little fair this weekend, and there was actually a sock that said, no fox given on a pair of, like, nice socks.

And I was like, so good.

It's so good. I was like, how do I not buy that? Anyway, the point is, is, like, I think there's. There is a contrast between, like, that attitude of, like, I don't give a fuck. That's almost like, I don't care how what I'm saying is impacting you. Okay? That. That's like the unconscious, almost kind of like angry protection mechanism. And now my communication is coming from, like, I'm gonna protect myself and be angry versus the other side of it, which is like, it's like, I'm so aligned, your opinions and thoughts of me no longer sway that alignment. And that comes with practice, because I don't know how someone would start trusting themselves wholly completely without just seeing what it looks like. When you actually express yourself in ways that most people would deem, like, super courageous or kind of crazy that might be like, walking. Like some people walking down the street, and you just decide to skip down the street. Sure, you might be nervous as you look like a fucking moron, but at the end of it, you're like, oh, that didn't kill me. And nobody's opinion going like, that's strange, really changed how I feel that that was kind of fun and giggly when I did that, right? And it's kind of going through that. I mean, look, the deeper work that Elon and I work on with our clients is really like, feeling through a lot of the shame that we've created as children, right through our parents, through society and all these different things. And it's really another way of saying that is just energy that you've kept in the body because you're not willing to fully experience it. And sensations that until they see their way through their cycle, are gonna have some kind of emotional and mental impact on you. Okay? And. But the beginning of that is kind of going through a few actions that let you know that when I do this, people don't, like, get rid of me. I don't lose my friends when that happens. And there is. And there is a way to communicate things that to some people, might land as aggressive or make people defensive. And that's all just learning how to recommunicate. Because a lot of our communication comes from being defensive. It doesn't come from, let me show you what's available. So it's like, we get online and we start reprimanding people like, yo, entrepreneurs, you gotta be this way. And, you know, like, all that kind of stuff. And people are like, what is this city talking about? And they start getting defensive right away. And it's really about learning how to communicate in a way that provides people with access to something. And I think that's a really big shift in the way that, you know, most people. People are just not operating because they have. They've been taught by their parents and by society, particular models of how we communicate and deal with one another. And it's like, guys, look across society, looking through politics, it's like, I don't know about you, but a lot of these communication patterns don't seem to work. Like, the last time I checked out the news, people don't get on the news, and they're like, hey, so what's your position? With, like, a big smiley face? And the other person's like, well, let me tell you my position. It's like, really kind of cool. And the other person's like, wow, your position's really neat. I'm gonna check that out. It's more like people don't come on a news to discuss anything. It's not. They don't even come on to discuss. They come on to just give you a point of view. And if anybody has anything that's contrasting, like, go fuck yourself. That's basically the attitude, guys, I don't, I don't know about you, politically, geopolitically, with your friend peers. If that's how we talk to each other, if that's how we're training to communicate with one another, yeah, guess what? Attraction marketing is not going to work when you're positional about everything and you make other people positional too. So there has to be like. Or there gets to be a softening in how we approach contrasting point of views in such a way that we still remain open and say, huh, that's interesting. Let me validate that through my own experience and see if that feels good. I don't know about you guys. That's a world I want to live in. That's the kind of company I want to run. That's the kind of people I want to spend time with. I don't want to invest my time, my limited time in this physical body with people who are like, here's my opinion and this is all that matters. It's my way or the highway. That's like old school fucking mentality to me. A lot of what we're talking about is giving people an opportunity through your authentic sharing to actually have breakthroughs in their own self expression. And I think that's really a beautiful part about modern entrepreneurship if you take it.

Yep. So look, I just leave you guys with a few other thoughts here. One, check in with your own life, like validate what we've spoken about here in your own experience. Does this resonate for you? When I've done things like this, what kind of the results was I producing? Right. Because a lot of the times, especially when we were starting out, we're doing things completely unconsciously and some shit works and some doesn't and we don't really track that stuff. So just like take notice. Right. The second thing is challenge yourself. Challenge yourself. Not as in like a life or death challenge, as in like a game I get to play challenge, which is a notice where the fitting in, the having to belong, to get love or acceptance in a group. Right. Or from a certain person kicks in and just notice in that moment, it's just a program. There's an operating system that you have inside of you. The unfortunate part for you or us is that that operating system was created over 97% between the time you were three and seven years old. Do you think you view the world slightly different than you did when you were 3 to 7 years old? Obviously, right? And especially when you're taking these big old leaps into these amazing out there worlds, right, Trying to do incredible things like you're gonna be met. This little 3, 4, 5 year old kid inside of you is scared.

They got a lot of stuff about who they are and what they're capable of and not capable of, etc. And so when you feel that programming kick in, you can actually stop yourself in that moment and go, oh, wow, okay, I'm really concerned about X, Y and Z right now, or it's not even me, it's my little boy or my little girl is really concerned about X, Y and Z. Okay? I'm an adult. I get to view the situation. Like what do I get to see this as? Do I get to see this as an opportunity? Do I get to see and take action consistent with how you say you view the world this day when versus how the operating system or the knee jerk reaction of being human being will have you create? And every time you do that, that in essence creates a new operating system. A new operating system. Because operating system is there to do one thing and one thing only, and that is keep you safe, keep you alive. That's it. It doesn't give a shit if you're healthy, in a good relationship or a bad relationship, poor. It doesn't care. You're alive. That's good. It's winning. Okay? Now that stops you from having a satisfying, fulfilling, magical, amazing life.

And every time you reprogram and you just take another step and another step and another step, what you soon start to see and validate is that when I do these things, life actually works better.

I get to meet better people, I get to connect and have more opportunity, I get to make more money, I get etc. Right? And then all of a sudden this, this operating system that's geared to help you survive goes, wow, well, we survived this. This is good. You know, like we, he does this, she does this, this works out well, let's keep doing that. And you're almost like releasing the, the parking brake from, from allowing you to move forward. And I would just invite you all to pick an area of your life at the end of this and, and think of one thing that you've been hesitant to take action on. Whether it's A conversation or an action or something. And then just go out there and do it and see how that works out and you're going to start to see that you're going to make these amazing, amazing moves in the direction that you now as an adult say you want to go to.

Love it.

Any last words, thoughts?

Yeah. Look, I think at the end of the day, my invitation to you, it's not even a challenge, is if you're in the kind of business, specifically the ones I would say, that can impact people socially, that you have something to share, that you want to make a difference in this world. That's the light side of the Internet, right. Is that we have this incredible platform today to share ideas and visions with one another. And I truly believe that every single one of us is blessed enough to have some kind of gift that can impact people if we let it. I invite you if there's something that you've been putting, like, oh, I'll get to it someday or it's on the shelf, you know, just look at who can I share this with today? Who can I share this dream of mine today? We so often get stuck in complaints about what we don't want and what doesn't feel good and politics, what's happening in the world. And it's so easy to get wrapped up in all that stuff. And what we forget is we also get to talk about what we dream about, what makes us happy and joyous and being in conversation, communication and discovery of curiosity of what it looks like to produce that and who you get to become and be in order to be the person that can get that done.

Yep. And lastly, I just want to let you guys know there's been some huge movements and news here in Satori prime land. Ways that you guys get to communicate with us in a really fun and cool manner. We have built a really, really cool app and we've created an amazing community inside of this app. People having these kind of conversations, you know, fringe dwellers unite. No, I'm just kidding.
