What's going on, everyone? Casey Adams here. Welcome back to the Rise of the Young podcast and Happy Friday. This is gonna be a short episode, but I wanted to put something out today different from an interview because the last. Let me see. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. The last 11 episodes have been straight interviews and they have been phenomenal. I'm gonna read through the list if you have not been current. So these are the last 11 people on the Rise of the Young podcast. We have Ben Nemton, Ryan Sirhant, Kevin Sturtevant, Trevor Moad, Pejman Ghadimi, Ryan Stuman, Sal Frisella, Justin Escalona, Davin Genstry, Tanner Fox, and Patrick Bet David. And the reason I'm saying this today, and if you're new here, to the Rise of the Young podcast, welcome. I spend time sitting down with world class entrepreneurs, talking about business, talking about culture, talking about how they overcame failure to get to success. And on this show, I'm giving you insight from a young entrepreneur's perspective. I'm 19 years old. For those who don't know. And being able to sit down and interview some of the most successful people in the world has given me so much clarity and insight. And I wanted to take this episode really to, number one, say thank you, but to really give you some guidance and tell you that every single person I sit down with on this show is not only for me to connect with them, but it's truly for you. And the 11 names that I just listed that I've been pumping out interviews and content for the last months, it's for you. And if you haven't had the opportunity to go back and listen to each and every single episode, I wanted to put this episode out on Friday. As a reminder. It's Labor Day weekend. A lot of people are taking time off work and they're laying low. Actually, tomorrow, Friday, when this drops, I'm heading up to Sedona In Arizona, going hiking with some friends. It's gonna be really cool. But I really just wanted to say this one thing, and that is never forget what put you on. And when I say this, this is what I mean. Because I started my podcast two years ago. And for all of the people that have been listening, thank you so much. Literally, I was at a Chick Fil A today and I was ordering, and a guy came up to me. He's like, I heard you say your name was Casey. Casey Adams, right? I was like, yeah. He was like, dude, I listened to your podcast and it's completely changed my life. And I was like, dude, thank you so much. Truly means the world because I've been doing this since December 22, 2017, and it has brought so much opportunity. And for you listening today, thank you for giving me a platform, for giving me the opportunity to serve you, to serve not only the community of rise of the young, but yourself. Because I don't just interview people to gain knowledge and a relationship. It's truly to give back. But back to the point, never forget what put you on. When I started my podcast, I was interviewing people three, four times a week. I was in high school, sitting in my bedroom, knocking out interviews on Zoom, on Skype. And that was what built my relationships and just my network so quickly. And I went to this phase, early 2018 or mid 2018, where I stopped interviewing a lot of people. And if you go back from episode shoot, let me think, 91, all the way till over 120, I wasn't for like 30 straight episodes. I wasn't putting out interviews. And I really, looking back on it, I'm asking myself, why? And I want you to ask yourself, are you currently putting off something that put you on, that got you to where you are? Because when I did that, I noticed. I noticed that I wasn't meeting as many new people. I noticed that I wasn't stimulated by all these new ideas from the people I was sitting down with. And I wasn't traveling, going to new locations and sitting down with new people. And that was affecting my. My mentality moving forward. So I went through this phase and I listed out the names that I've recently interviewed. And I've been going through this phase where I'm relentlessly setting up so many interviews. And the last 11 episodes have been proof of that. I've interviewed some amazing people over the last. Over the last, I would say, month and a half, two months. And I've been hustling on it, and I want this to be an experience for you. And I truly want you to think about it. Cause I think we all go through phases, you know, because maybe you're going to the gym or you were going to the gym super consistently and then you stopped and then you're like, oh, why am I not feeling as good? Why am I not just looking as good? You know, you forgot what put you on. You forgot the habits that helped you, you know, And I had noticed that in the podcast Journey, but I just wanted to speak on this. Like, right now it's 12:02am and I gotta be up in like six hours to wake up and go hiking. But this just really came to me and it's something that I didn't wanna just sleep on. I wanted to make sure that I put out there. Because me sitting down and interviewing these last 11 people, it relit that spark. It gave me something that I started with, and that was the desire to truly interact and be genuinely interested in other people. And it's not that I'd ever lost that. It's that taking a break from that made me notice how important that is to my growth, how important that is to my mentality and how I move forward and how I build my brand and. And it's something that I do. Practice what I preach when I say this. But me taking time off on the podcast in terms of interviewing people came to this conclusion. And this isn't for me. I'm not speaking to this microphone right now. To be clear on me, I want you to take away something from this and get clear on it. And really to pinpoint what have you done in the past that you may not be doing right now that got you to where you are. Because chances are once you identify that you'll start moving forward at such a faster pace. Because it's truly what put you on. It's truly what gave you insight. And I think it's different for everyone. You know, for me, it was maybe interviewing people. For you, it was maybe your content strategy or working out or talking to your parents or whatever it is. Be consistent. Never forget what put you on. Always remember how you started. And if you realize changes are happening, positively or negatively, understand that how you are where you are right now is predicated on what you've done in the past. And if it's in a positive light, chances are you should continue it. If it's in a negative light, chances are you should stop it or do less of it. But if it's a positive thing and then you're starting to Feel negative. Trust me. Go back to where your roots are. Go back to where you started. And this may sound like something simple, but I really wanted to make this episode very easy to digest, very simplistic, but impactful. And that is make a list. What is that one thing? Or maybe it's three things that you've stopped doing or you've been doing less of, but those are the things that put you on. Those are the things that gotten you to where you are. Is it going to events? Maybe. So maybe you used to go to six events a year and last year you only went to 2. Or this year. Cause for me, maybe that's not it for me, maybe that's for you. But maybe it's events. Maybe it's writing in your journal. Maybe it's reading a book. Maybe it's listening to a podcast. Maybe it's just going out to your local Starbucks and meeting someone new and getting out there. You know, I moved out to Arizona about a year ago, and it's definitely been something where I've noticed, like, wow, I haven't traveled as much because when I lived on the East Coast, I was always flying out to the west coast to network, to meet people. And now living in Arizona and having this solid foundation here, I've been home a lot, and I've been living in a great spot, and it's been cool. But I've noticed I haven't been out networking as much as I used to, and it's. It's affecting me in a negative way. And I've. And I'm aware of that, and. Which is great, but I just had these two realizations of me not going out as much and then me not doing interviews. And I just completely dialed in, tightened up the last month and a half. And the podcast is proof of that. In terms of the 11 names that I listed before. Patrick David, Bett, Tanner Fox, Davin Gentry, Justin Escaluna, Sal Frisella, Ryan Stuman, Pejman Ghadimi, Trevor Moad, Kevin Certavant, Ryan Serhant, Ben Nemton, all those people that I've interviewed, they are phenomenal human beings, and I've learned so much from them. And it's lit this spark in me that I might have lost. But I know, like I said, I wanted to make this short because there's nothing really else I want to say besides identify what put you on. Identify what you've been slacking at and then do what put you on. Go massively in depth on what you believe you may have slacked on and truly just be all in. Because I'm sure if you listen to this podcast and you were feeling the same way I'm feeling, you just had an epiphany, like literally you're listening right now. Like, wow, I did stop doing this. Wow. Not doing that has made me have these negative thoughts and I need to start living my truth of what put me here and got me here, you know? So that being said, that's just some midnight thoughts from your boy, Casey Adams. I'm about to wake up in six hours, go hiking, clear my mind, get this phenomenal views and hike in Sedona. We got a couple miles to hike, we got some 105 degree weather, so wish me luck. But other than that, update. So October 12th in Los Angeles, California, the build you'd Empire Young and Reckless event is happening. It's going to be phenomenal. We have some speakers that I cannot name just yet. But just know this is an event that I partnered on with Drama, the CEO of Young and Reckless. We did an event back in May and if you are listening, you were at that event. It was phenomenal. We had people like Robert Greene there and Paul Rodriguez and all these amazing world class entrepreneurs, authors, speakers. And this time it's gonna be bigger and better. So that's what's going on in my world, that's what's new. And this event is truly gonna change the game, period. So stay tuned for that. If you're listening and you want details, details will be coming out on Tuesday and that date will be. Let me double check real quick, that will be September 3rd. So I'm not sure when you're listening. Maybe it's on Friday when this drops, maybe it's in a week or two, maybe it's in 14 years. Shout out to those who are listening. But event is happening October 12, 2019 in Los Angeles. So make sure you mark that off your calendar. If you want to be a part of the movement, if you want to be a part of the clan. That's why we do what we do. That's why I do these podcasts, that's why I do interviews and is to bring people back to events, to bring people together in person. Because that is what has truly changed my life. And I will never stop doing that. And I'm aware of that because once I stop doing that, that's when my network will stop growing. That's when I will not have the best stage presence. And just I'm aware that having events is my talent and I love doing it. And for those that have came out to any event, thank you so much. For those that haven't, oh boy, you're gonna be excited. You're gonna be excited when you hear these speakers. But that being said, thank you so much for listening to the Rise of the Young podcast.
