In this brief motivational video recorded in New York City on April 18, the speaker announces a new weekly series called “Yes and for Kids,” inviting parents to share the content via Patreon. The core message centers on the importance of building habits, routines, and consistent behaviors to achieve lasting performance. Citing a Navy SEAL mantra—“we don’t rise to the level of the occasion, we fall to the level of our training”—the speaker explains that consistency transforms complex tasks into simple, reliable actions, creating a “confidence bubble” that supports performance. He also clarifies that improvisation is not the absence of preparation; rather, it relies on structured training that enables spontaneous execution. The talk concludes with an encouragement to adopt these principles throughout the week.

Hey everyone, here's your moment of yes for what is Monday the 18th? 18th here in New York City. There we go. Here's the big city. Frank, I'm in your backyard. Hopefully we'll connect later, but on my way to do a few trainings here this morning. And a couple of quick things. Katie Lunar Deli, who's on here, she finally inspired me to start the Yes and for Kids, which you all probably Probably received over this weekend. Sorry for that randomness, but each week I'm gonna do a different idea or message for kids. They all won't be 15 minutes long. Sorry about that. But if you know anyone, if you have kids or know of anyone with kids who want like a weekly, you know, inspirational message that will hopefully be practical and relevant to what they're doing and help them with school or mindset or sports or anything like that, please feel free to send along to my Patreon. Again, hope to help out as best I I can and share the yes and love. So your message for today is in the idea of building a habit and routine when it comes to building consistency, right? That's all we're ever wanting to do is build consistency. And so again, to go back to the Navy SEAL mantra, we don't rise to the level of the occasion, we fall to the level of our training. And what is that training based on? It's based on our consistency of our habits, our routines, and our behaviors. So last week in Lake Nona with the Limitless Minds team, we were kind of talking through some ideas and coming up with different frameworks and things like that. I had this idea as we were talking about sort of really the goal with all this that we've talked about is to make things simpler, to make the complex simple. And so when you think of consistency, complexity done consistently equals simplicity, right? Complexity done consistently equals simplicity. So that's how our habits and routines create It helps create like this confidence bubble around us. It creates a confidence bubble where we're able to perform or believe that we can perform with whatever is being asked of us because we have habits and routines that have allowed us to perform at that level. But when we just kind of fly by the seat of our pants, i.e., improvisation— but the misconception with improvisation is that there's not preparation or structure. There's a great amount of structure and preparation which allows for improvisational spontaneity. So, Again, let's go back to our habits, our routines, and our behaviors. Do them consistently so we can make the complex simple. There you have it, everyone. From the streets of New York City, that's your moment of yes for today, Monday, April 18th. Have an awesome week.
