Join the Mastermind That Changes Everything - IGNITE

We can hear you. Yeah, she waved. How's everybody doing this morning? Can anybody guess what today is. What national holiday is it today? Go ahead, Stephen.

May the Fourth be with you.

May the Fourth be with you, ladies and gentlemen. We are going to just strike through all the troubles of today and slice them up because we are ready to rock this house. Does everybody have their lightsaber today? Why is it yellow here but it's white on the camera? Right. Oh, it's bright. Yeah, it's lit up. Yeah. Come on, where's our lightsabers, ladies and gentlemen? Everybody should have brought their lightsaber to the office so we can cut through our problems, cut through our troubles.

Where did you get a lightsaber, buddy?

I am a Star Wars freak. Since when?

Really? I mean, your son-in-law was, but I didn't know you were.

Really? He's not. So where do you get the lightsaber? I can't even keep them apart. Which one's the Star Trek or Star Wars?

Did you go into Disney this weekend just to get your lightsaber?

No. Uh, we have a— we have a Nick in the office that is, you know, right in line with all that stuff. Remember, everybody has to have a nick. Randy, you got to make some phone calls, buddy.

Yep.

Hey, Toby.

Sir?

Did you know where that started?

I do not, sir. I—

fun fact trivia, I didn't know this, I heard this on the radio coming in today. In 2014, it started at the Underground Film Festival in Toronto, Ontario. Uh, in 2014. Yeah, it's, uh, May the 4th be with you. That's when it first started catching on.

That late? Wow. Yeah, it's like, what, 2 decades later?

Feels like it. Yes.

Yeah, because I was— I mean, Star Wars was like in the '90s, right?

Started 1977.

Well, that was the first one in '77.

'77.

Yeah, I was about to say it was there in the '80s when I was little.

Wow.

Yeah.

Gosh. Holy cow. Huh.

Time flies.

Yeah. Trivia question, buddy. Trivia question. So may the fourth be with you all today. Um, hey, we're not going to do a lesson today. We're going to chit-chat because one of the things we haven't done is really kind of gone around the room and, um, talked. And this, this is a community, this is a family. This is about empowering each and every one of us. And really want to— and I know we've got a lot of new people coming on here, so I wanted to kind of go around the room and just kind of share with what's going on in life. We're You know, it's the first Monday of May and 4 months are behind us for the 2026. We all made a commitment that 2026 was going to be an amazing year, a powerful year. And so I want to kind of hear what's what's— what good's been happening, you know, what's been changing, what's been transforming, how have you grown. And, um, and if you want, maybe share where you're still struggling. All right, I'll start it. Um, 2026. 2026, the team made a commitment to go all in and transform all the lives we, we touch. We, um, a lot of people getting on there. It's just, we spend so much time with individuals, coaching them individually. We spend a ton of time in communities like this one. We have— good morning, Garrison. Uh, we have our, our Thursday calls. I just got back from Orlando, and no, Randy, I did not go to Disneyland— Disney World. Sorry, Disneyland's in California, Disney World's in Orlando, right? Um, I boycotted Disney World. I boycott them. Now, I'm sure I've got grandkids that will convince me to think otherwise. But until their voices get louder, I have boycotted them. Boycott it. And I just, you know, they're, they're all about pleasing no matter who's paying the dollar bill. I have a problem with that. But the Uncheckable Investor team, the community, our core group here has gone all in creating, establishing, reaching out and trying to empower every person that we talk to on every level possible, whether it's today on the Ignite call, whether it's a bit of just being able to really give you something to feel good about, to give you something to wrap your arms around, or if it is transforming your business. We've got a dozen businesses that we're working with. We've got another two dozen of individuals who are doing real estate. Our tools— we were just, like I said, in Orlando had an amazing event there. We're going to Kansas this weekend. Um, are— yeah, this weekend, Kansas City. And we're on a stage almost every week now. And to see the demand, to see the, the longing for all of it, not just the Ignite, not just for business empowerment, not just for real estate, but to talk to every person and say, you know what, Man, I've been looking for something like this. I've been just— I've been just needing something like this because it's all-encompassing. All-encompassing. And I think that's what's so empowering, is that we're able to really not just hit one segment of your life, but all segments. So who else wants to speak up? Because if you don't, I'm going to start calling on you.

I will, because I need to walk my dogs before I take Mother to, to Zumba. Um, no, isn't that funny?

Try not to laugh, Christy. Take Mom to Zumba? How old is Mom?

87.

My mom's doing Zumba? Yeah, Mom is a beast if Mom is doing Zumba.

Mom's a beast.

Mom is a beast. I need to meet Mom.

Well, you just come on over.

All right, I want to meet Mom. All right, so tell me what you got. So out of— and I'm, I'm glad you're speaking up because I'm, I'm interested to see where you're at today, but you got to keep it under 60 minutes.

Okay, I can do that because I gotta walk my dogs. So this is something that says nothing can stop us.

Yep.

When I saw this shirt, I told the president of our Spider Rider group, I have to have that shirt. And she said, oh, I know, I tried to get it for you, but they didn't. The Can-Am didn't send but 5. So I won this Saturday at the International— let's say International Female Riders event that we held. And, you know, that our chapter held in Richardson. So my spider writing is going well. My life is— sucks in some ways. Just hadn't quite figured out how to live yet. Yesterday was my second anniversary. It's my first one without him. My second one would have been— had a rough time, but, um, still trying to learn how to play.

It's all right. Um, we're here for you. Hey, Bill, we'll be here for you.

I tried to, um, this past weekend, Friday, I tried to, um, save money and switch phone companies, phone services. I, uh, my phone doesn't work now. I'm just like, yay!

Hey, that's a good thing.

I left my phone at home this morning, so I'm kind of relieved Yeah, except for, um, you know, on the business side, I've got a couple million dollar deals in the works. So just— and, and they're not lending, uh, but it's negotiations and stuff. So I've got good things going there. But if you don't have a phone, I had to text everybody really quickly with my husband's phone and say, hey, I'm using this number.

Oh my gosh, you know how many people that freaked out who had him saved in his contacts?

Oh, I, I, I know. I had to apologize to my brother-in-law. Sorry, you know, our daughter, um, youngest daughter messaged me. She said, something's wrong with your phone, I can't get you. And I'm like, um, so it jacks up when they do that.

So what's going on good? Tell me. Tell me the transformation. Tell me. It's been 4 months, 5 months of really you changing the way you're doing your day in, day out. You've been all over Instagram, YouTube with your post. How is that resonating with you personally?

A lot of people are saying they— that they see me, they hear me and stuff like that. And there's, there's times when God says He brings it up and says, listen to this, you know, having a rough time, go back and listen to yourself.

Never go back and listen to yourself.

Yes, you do. Yes, you do. Because, you know, I don't plan anything that I say. I just sit down and I say it. Now, I haven't posted in a few days, just have not been able to. And So, but I'm getting things out. People are starting to hear me.

I'm gonna ask you this real quick. I wanna, I wanna pause you for a second. Why did you not post on the anniversary? I know it's tough, don't get me wrong, but that's the story everybody wants to be a part of.

Well, I wasn't here. And my phone didn't work. All right. So it's kind of one of those things.

Yeah, I get that part. But that's— I want you to— I want you to recognize the power of those days. Everybody's been watching you from afar. Everybody's been following you. And those days are the ones that we as a community, as a family, as loved ones want to be empowered with. Beside you.

Okay, I'm, I'm going to post today.

That's fine.

I am posting today.

But yeah, that's fine. I just want to make sure you weren't not posting because it was too hard, that it was too emotionally impactful. There's the— those are the times we give you more strength than you can ever imagine as a community, because you're sharing now your vulnerability with us. You're sharing now your growth and the good and the bad. If we only heard all the good, then we can't live or understand or recognize the strength that you've grown with. So don't leave us out when it hurts the most.

Okay. I wasn't. I went out celebrating with, with my bestie. And mother. We went to eat at Taste Community. If you're ever in the area, make sure that you, uh, you can make a reservation or you can just show up. It's not something that you're going to, a restaurant that you're going to get in and get out. Everything is freshly made when you order it, and it's all, uh, pay as you can.

But I want to know about you, Christy. I don't know about a restaurant.

Well, I was there and my bestie was, was talking to me about some things. She— Saturday I had an issue because my comm is set to my phone. And I said, hey, is Robert's— if I put Robert's comm on my helmet, will that work with his phone? And she said, yes. I said, will you charge it and bring it to me? I gave her his helmet because she's the only one that I've kind of felt worthy to give it to. Yeah. And so then when we had to figure out how to go to our dealership, she said, we're taking 30. And I'm like, I don't know how to get there. She's like, how many times have you been there? I'm like, I don't know. And so I put it in, I put it in my GPS, and I'm looking at it. I said, Karen, it says to go— that we're here, we have to go down and over like that. I said, that's not right. I said, because I always go up and over like that. And then my brain switched, and it's like, oh, because I'm here and we have to go this way.

Good.

So, yeah, what's new?

What's new in your life?

Um, I have been chasing after a house for I don't know how many months. Yeah, I know it's vacant. Um, I know the lady that got kicked out of it, she's a widow.

Okay. Um, are you still renting out the bedrooms? I—

my mother is still renting from me. I, I haven't had anybody so far say yes to my other one. I have one that I'm hopeful that she says yes.

Good.

Israeli and, uh, a pilot. And so yeah, I would love for her to come. I think she would be, uh, a breath of fresh air. She's young and that would be wonderful. Um, but this house that I've been searching, trying to get information and stuff, I'm one step closer. To, to getting it. So we'll see how that goes.

Perfect, perfect, perfect. Well, thank you for sharing. Thank you for sharing. Looks like 2026 is going to be empowering for you if you just stay the fight, stay the course, stay driven like you're doing. All right, who's next? Who's next? Go ahead, you bet, buddy.

All right.

Good morning, everyone. Uh, first, please increase the volume. Your volume is very low, um, for the webinar. Okay, are you hearing me?

Yes, sir.

Okay, so, um, this is my second day here, and I'm not exactly sure because I'm going through the course. What do we do here? So I just wanted to ask that question.

Sure. What we do here is—

this is the Ignite program.

Yeah, this is the Ignite program. So this is all about empowering you as an individual. This is all about creating a daily discipline to where you stay grounded with your spiritual, your mental, your physical. But it's a community that you can reach out to and get— when you're having a bad day, you can reach out. When you're— celebrate your wins, celebrate your losses. This is your extended family within our family to be able to build you stronger for all the things that life is about to throw at you. As you want to grow, as you want to excel, as you want to achieve more things in life, when you're looking to conquer the world, the world's going to fight you. Things are going to start going wrong. The more and more good you try to do, the more and more good you try to become, the harder that path is. And if you try to walk it alone, you will normally get beat down. You'll get depressed, you'll give up. But when you have an army around you, an army like this that supports you and you hear their war stories, you hear their battles, you hear their wins, it ignites that within you, says, well, I can do it too, because that person just went through what I'm going through, and now look at them. And so we're able to mirror other people's energies and actions so that you can achieve everything that you've ever wanted in life, that you can become everything you've ever wanted to in life. This is for that exclusively.

Okay, okay, okay. I just sit back and listen.

Yeah, sit back and listen. And as you, uh, get more and more familiar with everybody and hear the stories, you will then—

still load.

That's all.

Yeah, okay, perfect. I saw Brandon Booth. Brandon, are you able to talk, bud? I saw you pop on. I know you got your camera off. He may be walking through the factory. I really wanted to hear— I had— I meant to call him this weekend, but we got tied up with the grandkids.

I can talk, Toby.

How it's going on? So what's going on with my boy Brandon Booth?

Well, it's been a rough weekend, man. I, uh, buried my aunt this weekend and one of my best friends yesterday, man.

What happened?

Well, my aunt, she had cancer. It was, uh, it was— she wanted to go. It was her time.

She was done fighting the fight. Okay.

Uh, man, I knew a guy named Sean Marsh since 6th grade, and he was one of my best friends. He was one of my best friends. Yeah, he just, he just died, man.

Wow. I saw Brittany post that. I didn't, I didn't know who he was, and I didn't remember him from cornhole.

No, sir, he wasn't from cornhole. Uh, he, uh, he was a really, really, really good close family friend. I've known him since the 6th grade. We've done so much together, man. So much. Been in a lot of trouble together, Toby, I'll say that.

I can imagine. I can absolutely imagine. Now I see that our other friend Brandon's on again today. Brandon, welcome again. We— it's an honor and a privilege to have you part of the community. I know that you are in transition in life and you're looking to really find your place. And if there's anything we can do here, buddy, you've got our contact, you've got our information. We're here to support, grow, and build.

Appreciate that, Toby.

And in fact, you have my direct cell phone because I've left you a message. So if you ever need to reach out, just give me a buzz.

Yes, sir, will do.

All right, Mark Blocker. What's going on, Mark Blocker? Yeah, it's right there. Where'd he go? Did he get off? There you are, buddy. I'm here. Yeah, are you my friend?

Um, uh, just, uh, trying to get back in the groove. Um, I, uh, need to, need to get back on the, uh, on the, uh, the written assignments and, um, I mean, yeah, yeah, uh, still dealing with, uh, waiting on the death certificate for Mom, right?

Um, sorry that she passed.

Yeah, well, it was expected. It was, uh, it was a release really there at the end. It's, you know, um, her decline's been really, uh, sudden, you know. Uh, and, uh, anyway, I'm trying to help the rest of the family in whatever way I can right now. And, uh, uh, had a pretty good weekend, uh, hanging out with my sister's grandkids and all that.

Nice.

Yeah, yeah, it was a real boost, and it gave me, uh, it helped me in the why department, you know, because it wasn't success just for the money, for myself alone is not getting it. But I look at these little urchins and I think, I'd like to be able to make their lives better than they would be otherwise before I pass on. So yeah, it's— I'm still estranged from my brother, but working on forgiveness there. It's a slow, hard road. There's been so much— 65 years worth of bad blood between us, really, you know. But I'd like to resolve that before it's all said and done. And I think that if we're on the same level financially, you know, I don't owe him anything and he doesn't owe me anything. Estate's all been disposed, and, you know, uh, that might make it easier. I, I don't know. I'm getting closer to my sister and my brother-in-law, and, you know, so those are all good things on the personal side. Economically, though, it's, it's, it's not, it's not— the picture isn't good. It can only get better from here.

It can only get better, buddy. When you hit rock bottom, the good thing about hitting rock bottom, ladies and gentlemen, The absolute best thing about hitting rock bottom, ain't nowhere to go but up.

Yeah.

So when you have stuff and you still have a place to fall to, that's when it's the most stressful because you have the fear of loss, you have the fear of not having. But once you lose it all, once you hit rock bottom, it's just— it's now nothing but up and you can climb that ladder. We've all done it, Mark. I know you can do it. You just have to find your why. Find that fire and then stop giving yourself excuses. Okay?

Yeah, definitely.

All right, buddy. Proud of you.

This is hard, but it's got to be done. Yeah, it's just got to be done.

Proud of you, my friend. Proud of you. Let's go.

Thank you very much.

All right.

You called on me.

You bet, buddy. I look for you every morning. Every Monday morning, I'm looking for Mark. I'm telling Randy, get Mark on the phone. Get Mark on the line. Let's go.

Thank you.

You bet. All right, uh, who else wants to go? Is that Jake?

Yeah, Toby, I do.

Jake from State Farm, how are you, brother?

I've been, uh, really good actually. Um, so last time I met with Toby, uh, it was like a few months into my business. I was really struggling, kind of jumping through a bunch of different, like, coaching courses and whatnot. And, um, I just really doubled down. I'm also a senior in college, so I really graduate in like 4 days. This is the first month I paid for all my bills and everything with my own business, and then was able to help out a family member of mine as well. So it's amazing.

Good job, buddy. Good job.

Absolutely.

I see you tearing it up on social media. I see you're signing accounts left and right, so you're, uh, you're bringing— you're taking Omaha by storm, aren't you?

Absolutely.

Yep.

And I'm, uh, moving to Colorado in August, so I'm excited for that.

Why? Uh, I have family.

That's where most of my family's from.

Okay. All right.

Yeah, but I already have clients out there too, so—

good reason. I'll, I'll let that go if you have a good reason. Yeah, for snowboarding. Yeah, and breaking your back. Yeah, so good job, good job, buddy. Also, also, Jake, real quick, um, I see you're in the gym. How's that going?

Yeah, so that's more like the personal transformation side. Uh, I used to have like long hair and a shaggy beard and yeah, shaved that off, cut my hair real short and I invested in personal trainer and I'm down like 40 pounds since November. So we're, we're going full, full ahead. So I'm training. I'm just did a 5K, which is like the first time I ran a long time. And so the goal is a 10K by August.

That is awesome.

Yeah.

Jake, man, my man, we are going to follow you. Everybody needs to go find Jake Moore. Social media, what, what are your handles real quick, buddy?

Um, it's @JakeMoore.77.

@JakeMoore.77. Tonus, right there it is, perfect. Yep, Tonus, do right there. I need everybody to go follow Jake Moore. You talk about a transformation. Let me ask you this, Jake, you can tell me if you want, you can tell me you don't want to tell me. How much do you weigh right now? How much did you weigh 2 months ago when we met. How much do you weigh right now?

Yeah, um, so when we met, I was probably just around 450, and right now I'm down to like 407, 405.

And where are we going? We're going about what, 260, 280?

Yeah, that's a— 260 is ideal.

All right, all right, ladies and gentlemen, I want everybody on here to go @JakeMoore77. We're going to follow this guy. We're going to empower him. We're going to thumbs up. We're going to do the whole thing. We're going to be his accountability partners because there's a guy right at my top right, Stephen Tonks. Stephen, I want you to come on real quick and tell us real quick your story of transformation from that 400 pounds to your, like, rock solid, what, 200 today?

Well, first of all, Jake, congratulations. It's, uh, I, I know the path and you started, and, uh, it's you versus you. I started about 9 years ago. My highest weight in my life was 367 pounds. So through my transformation journey, took me really good about 7, 8 years to be consistent showing up, stop, um, self-enabling myself. We all know this, you know, we're creating new habits, new routines. But with a lot of hard work and with God in my heart, I shredded over 212 pounds.

Wow, that's awesome.

I competed, uh, with the bodybuilding stages. I went through that for to challenge myself. And every day, like, I'm in my mid-50s now, I'm 56. And, um, I started late, but you know what, it's never too late to start.

Never too late.

Never too late. And it's a journey that will bring you closer to your maker and your God. Just enjoy the ride. You're going to have days that you don't feel like getting up, but those are the days where you show up for yourself. Um, that's what really counts. And when you get through your— you're gonna have speed bumps, you're gonna have bumps, you're gonna have You're gonna fall off the wagon. These are all things that everybody does. It's the courage, which is God within you, that gets you back up off of one foot and off one knee and get back up, dust yourself off and keep on going. Because when you do that, the end goal— people can follow your footsteps.

Yep, absolutely.

It's, it's not your words, because your trainer will rah rah rah, go go go. Like, I'm, I'm a military coach too with A lot of people I've, I've trained over the years and I coach coaches of coaches, uh, in the gym cuz we all coaches lose their way as well. Uh, but when you focus on yourself within you and you're doing it for you so you can be fit now and you can have a longer life later in life, um, you can do a lot more God's work in, in your life. So very proud of you. Very Very, very—

thank you.

And I'm telling you, Jake, um, what Stephen has done is just so inspirational, so empowering, so just amazing. And when you do it, the platform, the, the audience, the following, people are going to say, I want to be like him now. And if he did it, I know I can do it. And you now will be on every stage across the nation sharing this story. So don't give up the fight. And we're not going to let you. We're not going to let you. We're not going to let you. We're going to just— if I don't— and you got to start posting every day now at the gym. Yeah, you got to start posting every day at the gym. And if I don't see a post where you're at the gym, I'm going to blow you up. Okay. And then I'm going to tell the community to start blowing you up. Hey, Jake. Jake called in sick today, ladies and gentlemen. Jake convinced himself today's not the day to work out. That's not an option. It's non-negotiable, buddy. Non-negotiable.

Sounds good.

Because what I can tell you, and I say this all the time, how you do one thing is how you do everything. So if you have a cheat day here, if you say, I'm just not in the mood today, if you just sell yourself short on one thing, you will do it on everything. And I know what you're trying to build in your business, where you want to go. And right now, your, your physical transformation will resonate 10 times into your business transformation.

Okay, absolutely.

All right, all right. Um, who else, man? I love it. This is one of the things that I love the most is just seeing, hearing everybody growing. Um, and it's just, it's just so powerful. It's so fulfilling. Uh, because— talk to me, my friend.

Hey buddy, I'm doing excellent. Toby, how are you doing today?

I'm doing good. Are you— did you get your driver's license?

Well, I'm still working on that, but I am getting more practice. Uh, I did practice with my friend, and, uh, but I, I'm working on it. I know my, my people at my church, they're saying, when are you going to take the test? Well, here's the thing, you know, I, I haven't passed it. I mean, I have the, the written part, the The oral, whatever that part was, I took that test and I passed it the first time. But this one, I want to take my time because I don't want to rush, because I want to really get it right. And so I just, I feel like I need more practice. Now, I know last time we spoke, uh, remember you had me do affirmations? Um, yes, remember the affirmations and all that? So I, I put, I created it, I put it online. And I mean, the thing is, I printed it out and I didn't have my ink cartridge, so they look kind of funny. Yeah, now everything's online. Not back in the day, we used to have that— I have that printer back, back there, but it doesn't have any. But I, I don't want to make excuses because, you know, that would be— that's what the enemy was, right? I, I am, I am saying those affirmations. This morning I woke up early, like 6 AM. I did my affirmation, I read my Bible.

Nice.

And I just feel like, um, you know, the more I commit, you know, like you said, don't take a cheat day. Every day, how you do anything. So every day I'm starting strong. I, I do the cold shower. Remember we talked about the cold shower? Do something hard first thing in the morning. I did that this morning.

Nice.

And I also lost 10 pounds. So I looked at them, I, I, during COVID I had gained, I think I ballooned up to 182-something, and this morning I'm at 160 pounds.

Outstanding. Yes.

And yesterday, yesterday I did 10,000 steps and I walked all over the place And it was a great day because the morning started with church. Lord spoke over me, did my Bible reading, and then God has been great all day and every day. So I feel like that's what I need to do, just make sure, because the Bible says, right, the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy. We, we honor Jesus, we honor God, and we know that he came to give us life and life more abundantly. And as long as we, as long as we keep our mind off of the news, the media, the negativity, and focus on what strengthens us and what gives us life, yep, we can rise above that. And that's my goal, you know, to do that.

Love it, love it. Here's— let me ask you this, because you've been part of the program now for since December, I think, if that's right. How much more confident do you— how much more confidence do you have today than you did 4 or 5 months ago?

A lot more confident. A lot.

Absolutely.

You lost weight, you feel better, you look better, you're telling yourself you're amazing, you're living the life that this is about. So Garrison, to answer your question, this is exactly what this program is about, about building that inner confidence so that you can conquer the world. I'm ready for you now to start looking at your promotions. I'm ready for you now to start climbing that corporate ladder, being that, uh, call center manager, and just resonating within your company, buddy, because I see your conversations with me. You're confident in those. You're not so shy, so, you know, timid. And that's why I wanted— I wanted to hear from you how much more confidence you have. Dude, you're going to be ready by the end of the year. We're going to sign you up for the Daytona 500. Okay? You're going to be a race car driver. Okay? That's how powerful you're going to be behind the wheel.

Thank you, Toby.

You might crash and burn, but that's okay. We're gonna get you out there. You're gonna say, 'I can do this.' All right, all right.

Thank you, Toby.

All right, buddy. Love you, man. Thank you. All right, who else wants to go? Shannon, you want to jump on? Hey, Toby, how are you today?

I'm good.

How are you?

I'm amazing. Tell me what is so amazing about Shannon today.

Well, first off, I got to be on this fabulous energetic call with you all.

Thank you.

Because I look forward to it every Monday.

I love that. Thank you so much.

It's been really energetic. I actually had the whole weekend off. I did not have to work. But on my full-time side hustle, I got to spend 8 hours Saturday and 8 hours Sunday building my client list, doing some research. I picked up a new book by Tim Tebow.

Oh yeah, which one?

Something about the mission.

I haven't seen that one. Did he just release it?

Um, what?

Somebody's commented. Yeah, I believe he does have a newer book out that you and I were discussing the other day when we saw him speak. Yeah. Huh, The Mission. All right, so tell me about it, Shannon.

It's something about the mission. I haven't got very far in it because I got interrupted last night, but He's pretty much telling you that what you're telling us, if your mindset is good and you have moral support from those around you, your mission really isn't possible. There's going to be some hiccups and stuff along the way, but you have to learn how to navigate those and don't let it bring you down, right? Otherwise you're going to fall off. It's just like an alcoholic falling off the wagon. Yeah, you're going to fall off because that's what you're used to.

Yeah, that's powerful. That is so powerful, Shannon. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

You are absolutely correct, and I— and I— we talk about that all the time, that if it was easy, everybody would do it. In fact, the more you try to align yourself with your purpose and mission, and then— and, and I could go around the room right here to, to everybody. I know Stephen, Rick, Christine the different people that I know have— that are very, very successful. The more you try and strive to align yourself with your calling that is not of the world but of God, it becomes harder and harder and harder. And I believe it for two reasons. And this is my belief. I don't— I don't know it as an absolute, but this is my belief for two reasons. One is The world doesn't want you to have success. The world wants you to be down, depressed, poor me, penniless, and, you know, a whiner, cryer, complainer. That's what the world wants. And then number 2, God wants you to always rely upon him for strength, that if we ever did it on our own, we would never give him the glory. So I believe that the more aligned we get and the closer we get, the harder it gets to build perseverance, to build strength, but to always understand that I have to have something that is so much more powerful than me because I'm fighting the world, which is bigger than me. And so when you resonate with that and you stop pitting in that, then you start seeing the blessings that come from that. And it will never get easy. I can tell you this, it will get fun, it'll get exciting, it'll get empowering and fulfilling, but it'll never get easy. Because see, God is always preparing you for the next battle. He's always preparing you for that next trial and tribulation and strengthening you until the day he says, you're done, come home, right? I love that, Shannon. I love it.

It is called Mission Possible.

Mission Possible. All right, I gotta look it up. I got— I'll go buy it as soon as we get off this call.

2022 is when it was released.

I wonder which other one, because he did talk when he was here in Dallas and we went and saw him. He talked about a book that was being released, but obviously it wasn't that one because that was 4 years ago.

Um, If the Tree Could Speak was 2026, and then last year was Look Again. Okay, so those might be the ones you're thinking of.

He was mentioning— yeah, he was promoting his book, um, at our event. So outstanding, outstanding.

Nice.

All right, uh, thank you so much for sharing, Shannon. Love you, girl.

Love you too.

Who else? We got a couple more minutes. I will share while we're waiting to see who else I want to pick on. We will pick back up our final series of Committed. It's Committed to the Legacy. It's committed to everything we've talked about. I mean, we talked about you being committed to empowering you. Then we talk about committed to relationships. Taking you first, because in order for you to transform anything in life, you first must transform, transform you. You must be the absolute best version of you at that moment in time. You're never going to be perfect. You're never going to be absolute, but you must be always striving for that. And every day, every hour, Every week, every month, you must be striving to be the perfect version of you possible. Once you get into that right mindset and you're living from the heart, not from the head, then you can start working on the relationships around you. Just like Mark said, he's got 62 years of, of built-up tension between him, his sister, and his brother. His mother passed She was kind of the glue holding them together. And I firmly believe that because she was still in the picture, they tolerated each other. But now that she's gone, they have to all make a decision. Do we separate or do we let bygones be bygones? And, and, and Christy, Christy, Christy Hicks had the same situation. She had children from a previous marriage. That she was estranged with. And I told her back in October, November, when I first met her, I said, Christy, here's the deal. Here's what you have to do. You have to forgive them and ask for forgiveness from them. Period. Doesn't matter what they say. Doesn't matter how they act. And more than likely, they're not going to react the way you desire. But you can't look for that. You have to go above and beyond. It doesn't matter who wronged who and say, I'm sorry, please forgive me. I love you and I want to be a part of your life if you'll allow me. And then walk away. And she did. It was hard. It was hard. Trust me. She did. And now she's building that relationship that's been estranged for years. And she's now starting to see grandkids. Again, just like Mark shared, he's now getting to see grandkids. And so this is what it's all about. So God says, fix you, fix your heart, then start building that relationships around you. Start empowering. I put those people with you for a purpose and for a reason. Don't ignore that. They may have a seat next to you, but that may be your assignment. Next to you and empower that. And so we went from internal individually to relationships. We skipped over the parenting and went to career. Because once we understand our calling, once we start empowering the people around us, then we can start looking at the, at the blessings that are owed to us through our fruits of our labor. And so those are the 3 deals we've done. We're now going to wrap that all up into the legacy. And the legacy is, I tell you, I was, I was at Dayton, Ohio. No. Yeah, Dayton, Ohio, 2 weeks ago. So when we were up there, that Maxed Out. Yeah, yeah, Maxed Out was 2 weeks ago. Yeah. So we were in Dayton, Ohio at an event and one of the speakers said something that was so profound. So profound. When you go to a gravesite and you look at a tombstone, you have two dates on there and a dash in between it. So you have the date that you came into this world, you have the date that you left this world, and you have a dash in between it. And that dash represents everything you did here on this earth. I went, wow, wow. What does that dash say to all those coming and visiting my tombstone? For all those that knew me, what does that dash say? See, my, my fear, my anxiety, and this is why I get stressed out, is that I don't know that I will be able to do everything that I want to do and empower as many people as I want to empower. I'm in fear that I've waited too long to do what we're doing today. So therefore, I'm obsessed with achieving that. I'm obsessed with just 24/7 thinking, what else can I be doing? Who else can I reach out to? What other community can I build and create and establish? Because there's another group of people that want to hear. I'm headed to Kansas City this weekend to speak at a Mexican church to do a revival. Yeah. And then a women's group, because I believe I could impact at least one person and that one person could resonate through a whole community. So think about this: the biggest tragedy in life is to run into the person that you had aspired to be. Think about that. The biggest tragedy in life is to meet, run into, be introduced to the person that you aspired to be. Meaning they took the opportunities and they ran with it and you didn't, and they became everything that you wanted to. That's what tears me up. I want to be a Zig Ziglar. I want to be a Tony Robbins. I want to be a Billy Graham. I want to be all them into one because I look at how many people they impacted and the transformation and the legacy that they are leaving behind. See, that's more important to me than anything. I want my grandkids, I want my children, I want my family members, I want them to say he was born on this day and he died on this day, but that dash— holy shit, that man never stopped. And look behind us. These are all the people, all the lives that he changed. That's what's important to me. It's not the fame. It's to say that, God, you gave me talents, you gave me opportunities, and I hope I didn't disappoint. I hope I didn't let you down. Because the other tragedy is being in front of God and him saying, here's your life, here's what you did, let's look at it. Great. Now let's turn around here and let's look at this. This is what you were supposed to do. These were the people you were supposed to impact. But because you didn't, because you put it off day after day, week after week, month after month, You're— because you didn't do everything that was in front of you because you were scared or you had excuses. This is what I wanted you to do. That's what I never want to happen. Think about it. Where's your legacy? Where are you going? We all have a story. We all have a purpose. We all have a calling and a commission. And I'm not going to stop until I have every person on here tell you all their transformation and their impact. Because of this one thing, I became that. Because of this one relationship, because of this one challenge, because of this one meeting, I became this. That's when we know we're doing our job. Okay, anybody else? Rick, I'm calling on you for the final 9 minutes.

Toby?

Yes?

I think I'd like to speak again, so I'm going to start off with a small story. And I might get emotional. So just based off of what you just said, man, and this has been weighing on me hard, this man that died yesterday was a good man, a really, really good man. Worked hard, 14, 15-hour days. He got out of jail, rode his bike to work to be able to provide for his kids. He worked, and we, we went through careers together. We watched each other succeed, man. Like, he was a good man. He brightened up a room. He never met an enemy. A really, really good man. I say that because I do believe in God. He didn't. He openly denied it all the time. So if y'all don't know y'all's Lord and Savior, find him. Yeah, I believe that's why he was taken off of this earth. I can't prove it, but I believe he wasn't doing what was right, even though he was a great man. He could brighten up the whole room. He could change somebody's whole mindset just by smiling at them. That's the kind of person he was. I don't think— I think he was taken away because he did not believe in God. I really believe that. There wasn't a pastor that spoke at his funeral yesterday. Nobody spoke of God there at all, and it broke my heart. Yeah, I, I don't— if y'all know anybody, I've tried to talk to him about God and he just told me he didn't want to hear it, man. Like, I, I, I tried. I've known that man for a very long time. And he never wanted to hear it. If, uh, y'all have friends like this, man, reach out to them. Uh-oh, I messed up.

I think you're good, we can hear you.

Reach out to them, and they're friends. They're not going to leave you because you reach out. They might tell you they don't want to hear it, but hopefully one day they will. Hopefully one day they will.

Man, I feel for you, buddy. I feel for you. I'm so sorry to hear this, and I'm proud of you. The transformation you've made in the last 90 days, Brandon, I'm so proud of you. Like I said, I had all intentions of reaching out to you yesterday. The grandkids came over and I just— the day got away from us. But for some reason, you're weighing heavy on my heart. And I didn't— I didn't see that post until late last night. But you were on my heart yesterday, so now I know why.

Now, Toby, I'm gonna speak to people like you do. I believe that's what I'm supposed to do.

I do too.

So I'm working on my transformation to be able to, to speak without a broken heart anymore.

I told you that when you're at my house 2 months ago. You You have a story that will resonate with thousands. You got to get comfortable with it, and you got to start sharing it. And you're doing an amazing job. Thank you, T. Love you, buddy.

Love you too, man.

Hey, um, I'm gonna share a real quick story, and then we're gonna— we're gonna close this out in a word of prayer. So, uh, Angie and I were up in, uh, Phoenix, Arizona a month ago, um, and with, um, with the Andy Elliott Army. We were doing a, a big event up there, and, and we did— we didn't know these people. There was probably 100, 150 people there. We were being inducted into their, their group, but, um, they made a stop. We're getting ready to do a workout. They do a 2-mile run, and then we do about a an hour cardio, ladies and gentlemen, they kick your butt. They do. But anyway, they said, hey, ladies and gentlemen, we have a good friend, a good, a good buddy who went in. He had an impaction and he went in to have an operation. And during the operation, he had a heart attack. So they pulled him out, stabilized him. But that morning he was going back in for heart surgery. This was a month ago. And, and so we stopped. We had a word of prayer. Well, that young man who was competing for a bodybuilding contest, he was a beast. And he died a couple of days ago. His name is Jordan. I didn't get the privilege of meeting him, but from what everybody said when we were chatting and asking about him, he was an amazing, amazing young man, family man, wife and kids, very much a godly man. But he passed away this weekend also. So I say this because of what Brandon just said, what we have all heard. You know, ladies and gentlemen, there's, there's two things I need you to fully understand and let it resonate with you. You are here today because God still has a purpose and a calling for you. He has not asked you to come home yet. He has not taken you out, meaning you still have time. He's given you another day, another, another second, another minute, another hour, another day to become everything he's ever asked you to become. Please understand, there's a lot of people that did not wake up today. There's a lot. We've just heard of several on this call. Do not be a statistic. Be a legacy. Be a legacy. So I'm going to take just the last 2 minutes, and I want us all to bow our heads, and I'm going to pray, and I want us to just let it just soak in. Okay, dearly Father Lord, I come before you this morning, Monday morning, May 4th, 2026, acknowledging you, Lord, as our, our Lord and Savior who sent his Son down to die for us, to give us full pardon of all our sins for the simple thing of just believing in you. And following you and loving you as you have loved us. That's just— that's all that's ever asked. You don't ask us to, to give up our, our, our household. You don't ask us to, to do anything but to love you, to believe in you, to worship and build and create and establish a friendship with you. That's all you ask. And then you make promises so profound that most of us can't even comprehend. Promises to protect us, promises to, to strengthen us, to, to, to wrap your arms around us when we're at our lowest moments, promises to bless us. But more importantly, promises to give us a life of eternity with you, a life of, of eternity and glory, for the simple task of us surrendering ourselves to you. It seems to be so easy, and I think that's why most people muddy it up by saying you must do this and you must do that, you must be a good person and you must go to church every week and you must do, you know, all these restrictions. And that's not— that's not true. You don't require that. Man does, but you don't. Lord, I, I just lift you up right now and give you all the glory for what you've done for me. For my family, the blessings that you've given to us, this community and the other communities that we are a part of and that we lead and that we inspire. And Lord, I just ask that you continue to put your hand upon every person here. I know many are hurting. I know some are still lost, confused, uncertain as to what tomorrow brings. Help them to understand it's not about tomorrow. Tomorrow may never come. It's about right here, right now. Help them to understand that, recognize it, and say, okay, fine, if all I have to worry about is right here, right now, then let me be the absolute best I can be that glorifies you. And let tomorrow worry about tomorrow, trusting and surrendering that you are of a higher authority, that there's nothing of this world that can defeat us if God is with us, for he has conquered everything so many times. Lord, I just lift up each and every person. My heart bleeds for the family members of Jordan and his children and his wife and the community, the, the, the, the Elliott Army Brotherhood. Lord, that they're all mourning this morning, the people that knew him best and that just shared so many resonating stories of the lives he touched. And Lord, I, I just, I lift up Mark as he is settling the estate with his mother's passing, and now Brandon Booth, who, who buried an aunt who I believe loved you as much as all of us, but then a brother, a friend who denied you, and now it's too late. Now it's too late. It's the only unforgivable sin. Lord, I just ask that, that each and every person right here, right now is opening their heart, their mind, their soul to you to say, okay, what do you want from me, Lord? Show me the path, then give me the strength to walk it. Because we know it won't be easy, and we know it won't be without trials and tribulations. It won't be without scars, but that's what defines us. That's what allows us to lean on you and not on our own understanding. But to be empowered by you, to be strengthened by you, to be sculptured by you. Let us truly accept and understand the calling, and let's just run. Let's not be interested in a better life, not even committed. Let's be obsessed with who you call us to be. Lord, I thank you for all that you are, your unconditional love, your unconditional forgiveness. Watch over, guide, and direct and protect us, for we ask these things in your name. Amen. Amen, ladies and gentlemen. All right, it is Monday, May the 4th be with you. Where'd my lightsaber go? He took it away. He took my lightsaber. We will close this out with the lightsaber, okay? Because we are all empowered, because the Fourth will be with us. Love y'all. Y'all have an amazing week. See some of you Thursday night. Who bought that for you? Um, I can't tell you, sweetheart. I, I bought this while we were in Orlando at Disney World because I was going to say it has a nick. The Fourth will be with me. Wow.

Hey, God be with all of you and us and me.

All right, for all of us. Steve Garrison, you guys have a great week. Love y'all.
