All right, guys, in today's show, we're talking about you will never be able to out give yourself the universe. And we're talking about gifting people, relationships, things, yourself, to increase radical abundance in your life. So the more we give, the more comes back to us. We're stuck in this finite reality where we think we have this constriction on the abundance that we can have. We think we have one stream of income. We think that money doesn't grow on trees. We think that we have to work hard for our money. These are all false veils that have been casted upon you. And when you really start to realize that the great alchemists of the past and present are really the biggest givers, they give radically, then you can truly start to transform your life. And I know that's been in my life 100 million percent, like it's been crazy. I'm always looking for ways to give more. And if it's not money or gifts or things that cost fiscal currency, and how can I give my time? How can I get my love in every moment? And sometimes the greatest givers that I see are the ones that are in a room giving their presence, unbridled presence, eye contact, which is so uncommon today, believe it or not. They're the ones that go into a dinner party with no cell phone and you can watch them. It's like they make these conscious decisions because they know how important it is to. To have that connection, right? So that's one way to be a bigger giver, is to not bring anything with you that could force a distraction upon you. Little black box. And when you're around people presence, and here's the secret.
When you're communicating with any human being, if you're the type of person that doesn't have a lot to talk about, maybe not you don't have a lot to talk about. You actually do. But you love hearing from other people. You can always repeat what the person said in a way to elicit more questions. So if somebody's like, yeah, I went out this weekend and I went to a concert and I was listening to this music at this concert, and it was absolutely incredible. Oh, what kind of music was it? There's always a question within what they just said that can go. There can be a deepening of the communication. And it's so simple. You literally just have to listen to the last sentence that they said. You can ask another question to take the conversation deeper. It doesn't require a lot of brain power to go deeper into communication. And you may not say anything about yourself during the communication with the person, but what that does is it literally has them feel so full because they got to share. They got to, they got to sometimes vent, right? Women love to vent. They love to just talk about the day. There's information stored within the female body that they love to get rid of. So one thing I like to do is ask them, hey, what's your intention in sharing this? Do you just want me to listen? Because men have this natural tendency to fix in those communication, in those conversations, we want to fix things, right? You haven't seen the YouTube video. It's not the nail. I think that's what it's called. It's hilarious and it's so true. So as men, we don't have to fix. We can literally listen. And so good to do this in your relationship. So I like to say, make it rain. Tell me, vent, Tell me everything. And we just sit there and we affirm and we listen and we emote, right? Using that empathy. And we just allow the people around us to go where they need to go. And that's a powerful way to give. It doesn't cost any, anything at all to be a good communicator like that. Simple, easy, anybody can do it. So that's one way. Another way is to invest in those relationships that you have. I'm a big fan of this. The people in my life, I look at what their love languages are and then I invest a certain way. Most people don't have the love language of gifts, physical gifts, but when some people, when people do, I love it because you can invest, you know, like into tithing. You can invest in your relationships of those people. We spend so much money on entertainment as human beings. Think about how much money you spend on entertainment per year. What if you took 10% of that entertainment budget and just put it on a few people in your life? It's so uncommon. And by doing the uncommon, it gets you uncommon results, especially in business.
In the very beginning of FitLife TV, I literally would film two videos per week. And one of the things I would do is I'd give away a juicer in every single video. And this was before I had any following at all. I just wanted to give away juicers to the audience. And I wanted people to feel as good as I felt because I was juicing every single day. 32 ounces of green juice. I did a seven day cleanse. I felt phenomenal. So I would literally order juicers and I would go to, I think it was Costco at the time. And I would buy the Jack LaLanne Power Pro, 97 bucks for a juicer, which I had no money coming in, mind you, because there was no business. I was literally just a passionate advocate. And I would buy a juicer and I'd give it away. Within three weeks of buying juicers for other people, I had multiple sponsors reach out to me and they wanted to give me the juicer to give away to other people, which was crazy, right? Like, it was already fulfilled. Just the simple act of me wanting to give away the universe was like, hey, we got your back, brother. And they supplied it. So the law of supply and demand I've talked about in other podcasts, but whatever you can conjure up, whatever the dream is to give away, when you create that, when you cast that collective vision for giving it away to other humans, divine love will always fulfill that. It will always bring into your experience exactly what you need at the time that you need it. That is law. That's how Mother Nature works. The lion doesn't wake up and struggle to find the gazelle or something to eat in the Serengeti. It just wakes up with absolute knowing that it will be supplied for. So no matter what you're going through, even right now, with some of the crazy stuff that's happening in the world, know that divine love has met and will always meet every human need. And that's so true. At the beginning of the FitLife TV days, I had an idea to give away juicers, and that that need was already fulfilled. So the question is, was I dreaming big enough? Is there more that we can give away? And that's another dream that I'm working on right now. How can I literally provide houses, provide, you know, shelter, provide food for people right now? There's so many big issues and problems on the planet. Impossible goals, we could call them, that are made possible through divine love. And we can use our gift. We can use our gift giving.
Alchemy to do that. So that was a powerful, powerful example of giving the gift. And here's another one from back in the FitLife TV Organifi days. When I first started coaching, I became an industry expert. Within two or three months, I literally read probably 10 health books, and I just started making videos. I wanted to help people. I got a NASM cert, I got a precision nutrition certification, and I was helping people with their health. But in the beginning, I didn't have any of that and I didn't care. I was just passionate. I wanted to help people so with these one on one clients, I would send them out a $500 juicer, I would send them out a pair of shoes, I would invest about $1,000 in them without even getting any money to work with them. I just, I believed in them so I would send the gift first. And I think that's a powerful thing that people forget. We expect people to pay us for our services. We expect money to come in before we ever invest in another human. And what's the worst case scenario? You give some gifts to people. I mean that's a pretty good worst case scenario, right? You're blessing somebody up and there's so many people that honor and respect that I have never ever invested in somebody and didn't get them to invest in themselves, invest in coaching them, invest in working with me. And it just continues to be the law. So know that if you're looking to work with somebody, invest in them first. It's pretty crazy how that works. I see a lot of artists on Instagram reaching out and hey, I'm going to paint you something and this and that. If an artist does that to you know how cool that is? Like they send it to you, they spend their personal time, they're going to get paid, period. So if you're an artist and you're listening to this, don't send me art, please. But you get the point, right? If you want to work with somebody, work with somebody. We May Stigler, the CEO currently of Organifi right now. She's so amazing. I've been working with May for 10 years and she's worked with Cameron Herold. And Cameron Herold tells the story of, I believe it's the owner of Brooks Brothers, how they just supplied him at the Ritz Carlton the first time they wanted to work with him for like $7,000 with the suits and to hire Cameron as a sales rep, it would have cost probably 7 million bucks for the year or 2 million, something like that. My numbers are way out this morning. It's like 4:30 this morning. And regardless, they just supplied him with suits like 25 grand worth over I think a 10 year period or something. And Cameron sent him a million dollars with the business. And that's the law. You can never outgive yourself. Know that. So no matter what business you're in, what you're doing in the world, supply will always come back to you. When you have that giving mentality, it's so powerful. It opens up portals, it opens up different timelines. When you're not in scarcity because scarcity is so common on the earth plane right now, people need to constrict resources, this and that. When you don't operate in that at all, it changes things. And that's been the story of my life. I've never operated in scarcity. Radical abundance.
I think there was a bigger shift, probably when I turned 30, there was an even more. A deepening of faith in the giving. And I think even today there's still more deepening happening. But I've always operated knowing that the veil between this realm and the next is so thin and there's a whole cadre of luminous beings watching and supporting every event where you're giving. And then that invisible information, like when you give, it sends whispers into eternity and it brings feedback. It closes the time space continuum, whatever we want to call it, right? Even faster for opportunities, unseen situations and circumstances to present themselves to you. So give.
Give as if there's this infinite supply that's inside of you, because there is. The atomic force that's in the sun, is in every cell of your being. So give. Give your light, give your words, give your presence, give your commitment, give your passion, give your mission, give your resources. The world will change for the better.
And I'm living proof of that. So hopefully this podcast was helpful this morning, you guys. I know it was a short one. I just wanted to really prove that point that you'll never out give yourself. There's an inexhaustible supply of currency, real currency, within you, and it's outside of this realm. When you start operating from that, your whole world will change. I'm Drew Canole. Remember, we're in this together. Talk soon.
