I finally got one sale on my e-commerce store.200:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,380**Piano music**300:00:06,380 --> 00:00:09,940**Singing and doing the Peter Pan cover of Piano**400:00:09,940 --> 00:00:12,540What's up everyone? It's America+. I'm your host, Cole McCormick.500:00:12,540 --> 00:00:15,320It's another weekend of the episode. What's going on?600:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,040People? Happy to be here.700:00:17,460 --> 00:00:21,800Folks, it's a new vibes right now. I am coming to you sitting down in my kitchen.800:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,160I'm usually standing.900:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,280So, right at the bat, it's just the different vibes here today.1000:00:26,280 --> 00:00:33,360I'm coming to you in the toughest week that I've had this year.1100:00:33,360 --> 00:00:39,840The toughest few months, but specifically the toughest week and the most stressful week1200:00:39,840 --> 00:00:46,440and the most, the week that's filled with most prayer, the most prayer that I've ever1300:00:46,440 --> 00:00:52,560done and expressed in the last five years that I've been living in LA.1400:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,440I've prayed more times than I've ever had this one week.1500:00:57,440 --> 00:01:04,080And I have a few things to expunge on.1600:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,640Last week, I want to talk about last week.1700:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,320Last week was a, my opinion, last week was a flub, so I'm sorry about that.1800:01:09,320 --> 00:01:10,960Whoops, no, wrong one.1900:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,800Last week was a flub, so I'm sorry about that.2000:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,080Last week it was weird.2100:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,760Number 63, or number 64, We Are The Medicine.2200:01:20,760 --> 00:01:21,760What number was it again?2300:01:21,760 --> 00:01:22,760Number 64, right?2400:01:22,760 --> 00:01:23,760Yeah.2500:01:23,760 --> 00:01:30,120I did this whole thing on Peter Atiyah and his new book and it just felt weird.2600:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,120It felt off.2700:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,640Like some people liked it, but ultimately I got zero.2800:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,400No, no, no, no, no, I shouldn't say zero.2900:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,640Joel W boosted me.3000:01:38,640 --> 00:01:45,440Joel W gave me value, but besides Joel W, besides my boy Joel, I got zero value.3100:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,760And right off the bat, I just want to focus on like on that.3200:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,240Like this week I'm focusing on Bitcoin, focusing on value for value, and I'm also focusing3300:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,400on like on prayer.3400:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,400Okay?3500:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,840Like my intention and what I hope for.3600:02:00,840 --> 00:02:01,840Okay?3700:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,280That's like those two things make up prayer.3800:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,000Like that's the definition right now.3900:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,760And so if you didn't like last week, who cares?4000:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,760I'm sorry.4100:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,200But I'm getting better at it.4200:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,520What I'm doing is I'm trying to take in the feedback of what people vibe, what people4300:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,520didn't vibe with.4400:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,240And just from my perspective, just looking back to it, listening back to it, I think4500:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,940there was just a lack of innovation last week.4600:02:29,940 --> 00:02:33,640There was a real lack of innovation, maybe innovation of thought in terms of like how4700:02:33,640 --> 00:02:34,900to think about medicine.4800:02:34,900 --> 00:02:41,560But America Plus is about really like, what are the physical tools or what are the physical4900:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,520things that we can do to build better systems?5000:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,760And when it comes to an idea, there needs to be like a, like there needs to be physics5100:02:51,760 --> 00:02:52,760behind it.5200:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,000There needs to be like value, like real authentic value.5300:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,200Like I appreciate Peter Atiyah and I appreciate his book, but at the same time, he is just5400:03:01,200 --> 00:03:09,240an individual, individual doctor within this giant infrastructure, this giant monolithic5500:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,440global infrastructure.5600:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,480And yeah, he was talking to like the future of it and it's going to be cool and it's going5700:03:15,480 --> 00:03:22,840to be interesting and AI is going to guess how good our cancer is.5800:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,240But at the same time, like it's people like Wim Hof that I'm inspired by.5900:03:27,240 --> 00:03:33,440It's people like Andrew Huberman that I'm inspired by when it comes to like health stuff.6000:03:33,440 --> 00:03:39,000Like there's actual like physical protocols that you can follow that can get you healthier.6100:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,640And Peter Atiyah, he was talking about preventative stuff.6200:03:41,640 --> 00:03:48,040And if you follow Huberman and Wim Hof, all their protocols are preventive as well.6300:03:48,040 --> 00:03:53,840So just like reevaluating that for myself, that's just like a little like, like you're6400:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,760inside of Coley's head right now, people.6500:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,040So whatever, just moving on more, better information is what I want.6600:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,960America plus should be better information and it should be giving more value.6700:04:02,960 --> 00:04:08,280And last week was the lowest amount of like value I've ever received.6800:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,520Ever since I've begun getting value.6900:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,520And like this late in the game, not late in the game, but just like this point in the7000:04:16,520 --> 00:04:23,320show's progression, I'm just seeking to like clip the prunes, you know?7100:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,320I'm doing my best to clip the fat.7200:04:26,320 --> 00:04:31,480So we're going more practical along with like practical as in like what are the protocols7300:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,440and as in like what am I physically doing?7400:04:33,440 --> 00:04:39,640What am I doing to build a better system, better systems?7500:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,040And maybe hopefully you can follow along too.7600:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,800The biggest innovation that's really real this week, and I already mentioned it, is7700:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,800prayer.7800:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,420The realization that I've had and the real thing that I'm trying to communicate this7900:04:53,420 --> 00:04:58,520week is prayer is innovative.8000:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,880Prayer is incredible.8100:05:01,880 --> 00:05:10,760I don't think it's a mystery that I am recording this on Easter Sunday, April 9th, 2023.8200:05:10,760 --> 00:05:19,480And I'm alone in my studio apartment, my girlfriend's at work, my parents, my family's in Arizona,8300:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,680and Coley's here in the kitchen.8400:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,160And I'm happy to be doing the podcast.8500:05:23,160 --> 00:05:30,400Like, I'm in my flow when I'm doing the podcast, but it's just a different thing right now.8600:05:30,400 --> 00:05:39,920And I have, when it comes to moments that I have by myself the last few weeks, I've8700:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,840realized that prayer is so necessary.8800:05:44,840 --> 00:05:51,400And it wasn't until the New Year came up, it wasn't until 2023 came into play when I8900:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,920started to think like maybe I should be praying more.9000:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,400And I've already been doing the meditations.9100:05:57,400 --> 00:06:03,640I've discussed these Joe Dispenza meditations, and I've been very consistent with those.9200:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,400And the most intriguing thing happened at the end of March.9300:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,760So I have the meditations on my Audible app, right?9400:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,320And at the end of March, for some reason, like I tapped a book, like I was listening,9500:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,280like I was on the meditations, and then I tapped onto a new book, and then somehow the9600:06:19,280 --> 00:06:22,160meditations were deleted.9700:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,220And I'm like, okay, and I'm too lazy to like to search for them and to redownload them.9800:06:27,220 --> 00:06:32,720So I took that as a sign to just like move forward and to just like change what I do.9900:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,040Because I was doing 30 minutes to an hour meditating, like the full Joe Dispenza thing10000:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,280is one hour.10100:06:40,280 --> 00:06:42,720And I was very consistent with that.10200:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,280And now we're just in a moment where the last few weeks have been me praying, or the last10300:06:48,280 --> 00:06:51,520couple weeks have been me praying.10400:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,000And just like, what's that experience like?10500:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,720And what am I?10600:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,680I'm getting these like weird...10700:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,480I don't even know what the column...10800:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,440It's like I'm getting flashbacks of my childhood.10900:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,440I'm getting flashbacks of what I went through as a kid.11000:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,660And somehow like it's all still in me.11100:07:11,660 --> 00:07:17,840And what I'm doing with the prayer is like just trying to heal myself and trying to forge11200:07:17,840 --> 00:07:18,960a path forward.11300:07:18,960 --> 00:07:26,120Because when it comes to building better systems, it's also important to like have...11400:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,600While you're trying to build better systems, you need to have like a system of yourself11500:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,040to sustain yourself.11600:07:32,040 --> 00:07:40,960And my personal system of like money and jobs and just how I pay the bills, it's been depleting.11700:07:40,960 --> 00:07:47,360And I've been in a mindset to go gung-ho on my dreams.11800:07:47,360 --> 00:07:57,760I quit my weed shop job in October and I had around four or five grand in stocks, in CashApp.11900:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,120And I was like, I'll just spend...12000:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,200I'll just live off the stocks.12100:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,240Which is I know is not the smartest move because...12200:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,680But I mean, I'm selling the stocks at a loss.12300:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,480So like ultimately, hopefully next year it comes through.12400:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,000But pretty much I've been living off this last four grand in CashApp the last like six12500:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,840months.12600:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,520Just slowly chipping away at it.12700:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,560Just slowly just paying the bills with it.12800:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,200And now I'm at the tail end.12900:08:26,200 --> 00:08:32,600And I really thought that whatever I was doing, like I quit my job so that I could start doing13000:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,600my own thing.13100:08:33,600 --> 00:08:39,520Like I really like I jumped into doing like videos online and just trying to be like a13200:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,880personal brand and trying to just like do the whole social media thing and lean deeper13300:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,920into value for value and all this stuff.13400:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,960And it's been satisfying.13500:08:50,960 --> 00:08:57,680I've been super consistent with withdrawing and with posting and I've seen growth.13600:08:57,680 --> 00:08:59,360All my channels are growing.13700:08:59,360 --> 00:09:05,760I started with 30 subscribers on YouTube and now I have 170.13800:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,600So that's growth and that's a great thing.13900:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,600Like that's a...14000:09:09,600 --> 00:09:10,600You know, like what is that?14100:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,640Like that's like a 500X, right?14200:09:13,640 --> 00:09:14,640Or something like that.14300:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,360Like a 5X growth in the last like few months.14400:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,560Like that's awesome.14500:09:21,560 --> 00:09:26,080But I'm still spending money.14600:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,520And I'm not spending money on dumb shit.14700:09:27,520 --> 00:09:28,520You know, that's not my problem.14800:09:28,520 --> 00:09:33,080Just like my problem is that I'm not making money because when the new year came in, I14900:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,080was like, all right, you know what?15000:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,400I think I really need a job.15100:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,080Like I don't want to live off of my CashApp money.15200:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,240I want to keep my stocks.15300:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,480I want to keep my stocks long term.15400:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,120Like MOAS hasn't happened.15500:09:44,120 --> 00:09:49,720The mother of all short squeezes with AMC stock and GameStop have not happened.15600:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,000So I'm trying to hold on to these things as long as I can.15700:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,320But I'm forced to sell them.15800:09:55,320 --> 00:10:01,440And I've put myself in the position to be forced to sell them.15900:10:01,440 --> 00:10:10,160And I get this job in February trying to sell government tablets to people who are on food16000:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,160stamps.16100:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,880And it's just not like I'm not making money.16200:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,120Like I'm making I'm selling like eight tablets a week, 10 tablets a week.16300:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,120That's not enough.16400:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,920And I'm getting 23 bucks.16500:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,600And the whole thing was like based off of how many tablets you sell.16600:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,160OK, like this was not a good job.16700:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,600I mean, good for some people.16800:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,440Some people are making like three grand a week, which is incredible.16900:10:35,440 --> 00:10:42,240But for me, whatever thing about my personality, like my face, like just a white guy in Armenian17000:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,760areas, like not like people don't want to come up to me.17100:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,680So don't know what to tell you.17200:10:47,680 --> 00:10:49,460People don't know what to tell you.17300:10:49,460 --> 00:10:55,600And I took my losses and six weeks in, I quit that.17400:10:55,600 --> 00:11:02,000And again, I doubled down on making videos and value for value.17500:11:02,000 --> 00:11:08,080And I continued with doing my damn best with the podcast.17600:11:08,080 --> 00:11:14,080And I'm trying my I've been trying to open up more avenues for money, you know, it's17700:11:14,080 --> 00:11:22,520been this like constant cycle of oops, sorry, it's been this constant cycle of being stressed17800:11:22,520 --> 00:11:27,600and then looking for an avenue to make money and then finding an avenue and then like trying17900:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,280like thinking through the entire process of how this avenue can be sustained and then18000:11:32,280 --> 00:11:37,000like getting all the accounts set up, getting all the payment stuff set up and then like18100:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,760having it already, like making sure I qualify for everything.18200:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,840And then sure enough, like nothing comes up.18300:11:44,840 --> 00:11:45,920Nothing happens.18400:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,200Or I get a message like one thing is Fiverr.18500:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,240I've been doing this like I made an account on Fiverr, which is where you're able to like18600:11:53,240 --> 00:11:59,280to pick up gigs and I made a gig for myself to do voice work.18700:11:59,280 --> 00:12:04,880And that's one thing that I want to lean into more.18800:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,640And I got after the first day I make the Fiverr account, I have a message.18900:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,760Somebody messages me about doing a voiceover for their YouTube channel.19000:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,200And I'm like, yeah, that'd be amazing.19100:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,280But sure enough, it was like a bot and it was nothing and it was nobody.19200:12:20,280 --> 00:12:25,120And so and now I'm looking at the page and still no one has like no one's messaging me.19300:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,360So I'm not simply complaining about that.19400:12:27,360 --> 00:12:33,120I'm just saying I've been on this constant rotation of opening up something and nothing19500:12:33,120 --> 00:12:41,400immediately coming into play, but I immediately need money so that can like deter one's dopamine19600:12:41,400 --> 00:12:46,000as an Andrew Huberman might say.19700:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,800And I just and now we're here.19800:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,360Now we are.19900:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,920And when I say tail end of the money, I literally mean tail end of the money.20000:12:54,920 --> 00:13:00,760And we're just here and it's Easter and like he is risen and like we're trying to worship20100:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,200and we're trying to live and we're trying to connect and we're trying to we're trying20200:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,180to to be like my parents who have their own company.20300:13:09,180 --> 00:13:12,880But also they also had jobs while they were building a company.20400:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,800They also had jobs.20500:13:14,800 --> 00:13:21,240And here I am, I'm trying to build like multiple companies at the same time with zero job.20600:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,360Like I got this I got this podcast and I got this fiber thing.20700:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,720And then I have this cozy cute thing.20800:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,280I thought I was going to make a thousand bucks in a week from from Shopify.20900:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,480And I start me.21000:13:31,480 --> 00:13:37,080I had the AI make a brand and I had like I'm picking all these products and I finally got21100:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,160one sale.21200:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,760So thank God I got one sale yesterday.21300:13:40,760 --> 00:13:41,760Thank you so much.21400:13:41,760 --> 00:13:47,080And just a quick shout out a quick shout out to to my girlfriend's mother Amanda.21500:13:47,080 --> 00:13:53,120Amanda thank you for being my first customer at Cozy Q. She got the big and cozy blanket.21600:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,040So I'm just super thankful for that.21700:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,960And that's what I'm I'm leaning into the gratitude.21800:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,400I'm not recording this to complain.21900:14:01,400 --> 00:14:06,880I'm recording this to express how I'm feeling and what I'm doing to get through this moment22000:14:06,880 --> 00:14:12,240because I'm a thousand percent sure that there are a bunch of people who are who might be22100:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,160in a in a similar situation.22200:14:16,160 --> 00:14:22,720We are in deep shit in twenty twenty three in America and possibly the world you know.22300:14:22,720 --> 00:14:27,800And I just want to navigate it correctly.22400:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,960And a part of my selfishness a part of my ego just sort of said like fuck it like let's22500:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,000just just burn it out.22600:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,360Just go for it.22700:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,000Like the banks are falling down.22800:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,000Just do your thing.22900:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,000Cole like who cares.23000:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,040I don't like who cares about the credit card dude.23100:14:42,040 --> 00:14:48,480Like just it's all falling apart like parts of me in the last six months have become very23200:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,240nihilistic in terms of like it doesn't matter.23300:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,560Like the debt doesn't even matter.23400:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,080And I think I just got caught up in like what the system was doing dude.23500:15:00,080 --> 00:15:05,280Like I assume that I could act like the system.23600:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,240And I think that's like a real breakthrough that I'm having right now.23700:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,480And I didn't even think about that before I hit record.23800:15:10,480 --> 00:15:18,800I have used my ego to justify being just like the everyone else around me.23900:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,760Like all the big guys around me are piling up debt.24000:15:22,760 --> 00:15:28,040How about I just like swipe this this card and do my thing.24100:15:28,040 --> 00:15:33,360And that's a big fuck up.24200:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,760Like for real folks.24300:15:35,760 --> 00:15:36,760And I'm gonna be fine.24400:15:36,760 --> 00:15:42,400Like this is not me like like of course like I'm just like this is just a good time folks.24500:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,440Like I'm enjoying this process.24600:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,000I have full faith in God.24700:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,920I have full faith in Christ.24800:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,200Like God's gonna get me through this.24900:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,480I'm gonna get the money I need.25000:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,640Whatever opportunity that I'm moving to.25100:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,120Like it's just like it's getting there.25200:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,120It's getting there.25300:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,840I'm learning these lessons.25400:16:00,840 --> 00:16:06,440And these whatever debt that I have it's not gonna follow me forever and I can pay it off.25500:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,600Like I will be able to.25600:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,240I am able to pay it off.25700:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,080But right now it was not a smart decision.25800:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,480It was no good.25900:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,560And so I shouldn't beat myself up about that.26000:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,560And you shouldn't beat yourself up about that either because you know I was using the card26100:16:26,560 --> 00:16:27,560to get groceries.26200:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,600Like I'm using this card to get gas.26300:16:29,600 --> 00:16:37,080Like it's really bullshit that I have any type of shame or guilt for gaining debt to26400:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,960literally buy milk.26500:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,000Like that's like full transparency.26600:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,000Like full honesty.26700:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,200Like folks oh sure sure sure.26800:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,200I'll be honest.26900:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,000I'm going to the wheat shop.27000:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,200I'm putting the I'm putting the cannabis on the card.27100:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,280Okay.27200:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,120But besides that I'm buying milk and meat.27300:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,480I'm literally buying food.27400:16:59,480 --> 00:17:06,600I think it's bullshit that like we're even like anyone is in a position to go into debt27500:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,840to feed themselves.27600:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,600That's crazy.27700:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,880That's crazy.27800:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,480And I'm I don't want to live in that kind of world and I don't want to I don't want27900:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,800to be in that kind of a world like just like myself.28000:17:20,800 --> 00:17:25,400Like of course I have the hope that the world becomes perfect but just in my own economy28100:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,080like I just don't want to deal with this.28200:17:27,080 --> 00:17:32,440Like I'm trying to I'm really trying to forge something here.28300:17:32,440 --> 00:17:39,160And so I'm looking for a path and that path is being forged by prayer.28400:17:39,160 --> 00:17:45,200And I hope this message gets across for you because maybe you need to pray about something.28500:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,440You know like we all need to be praying about something.28600:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,240I've been encouraging my girlfriend and I to pray together a bit more just in the last28700:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,240few days.28800:17:53,240 --> 00:17:59,120You know and I think it's really just a bit selfishly because I need to hear another voice.28900:17:59,120 --> 00:18:04,480You know there's something about even if the person hasn't been praying a lot there's29000:18:04,480 --> 00:18:10,440just something about the female voice praying that can that can affect you in a really positive29100:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,040way.29200:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,720It's something that is so dramatically overlooked.29300:18:17,720 --> 00:18:23,160I can't even go that deep into it because the deeper I go the more people won't listen.29400:18:23,160 --> 00:18:28,520It's something that needs to be experienced for themselves.29500:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,800I'm reminded of the times that I was teaching children at church.29600:18:32,800 --> 00:18:38,680I was just a teenager and I'm teaching the first two third graders how to pray and I'm29700:18:38,680 --> 00:18:49,240talking about God and it's Easter and I'm just thinking back to what I wanted those29800:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,440kids to feel.29900:18:51,440 --> 00:19:00,360Like I remember I remember wanting those kids to feel like God really had their back.30000:19:00,360 --> 00:19:07,320When I taught a kid how to pray or when I led a group of kids in prayer I really wanted30100:19:07,320 --> 00:19:14,560them to believe it and I really wanted to say the perfect thing, the perfect phrase,30200:19:14,560 --> 00:19:25,600the perfect sentence that would help them understand somehow, help them be brave somehow.30300:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,680And that is prayer itself you know.30400:19:28,680 --> 00:19:34,080Just the way the way you speak to yourself is prayer.30500:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,440The way you speak to God is prayer.30600:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,960The way the way you speak to others is prayer.30700:19:38,960 --> 00:19:47,120You know going to any philosophy it says if you judge someone you are then judging yourself.30800:19:47,120 --> 00:19:54,280And so if you pray for someone then you pray for yourself as well.30900:19:54,280 --> 00:19:55,480That's just a beautiful thing.31000:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,920It's a yin yang universe.31100:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,360God made the earth thing dude.31200:19:59,360 --> 00:20:00,720Like it is in balance.31300:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,840It is always perfect.31400:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,480It is always divine.31500:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,040There is no danger.31600:20:07,040 --> 00:20:12,760You know like that's a very like whimsical way to think about life.31700:20:12,760 --> 00:20:19,920But like it's a very if you really believe it that's a very powerful way because you31800:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,160know you got stories like it's Easter let's talk about the Bible real quick.31900:20:24,160 --> 00:20:31,040You got these stories of these guys who followed this guy named Jesus and they're getting persecuted32000:20:31,040 --> 00:20:38,760and thrown in jail and tortured and starved and beat and their entire reasoning for continuing32100:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,520forward was their belief.32200:20:42,520 --> 00:20:49,280Their belief that whatever life they were living on earth was not the only life and32300:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,440that it would get better.32400:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,400And it's just radical.32500:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,040It's just radical.32600:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,640And throughout culture there's like there's very there's slimmers of it right.32700:21:02,640 --> 00:21:07,760There's slimmers of these very deep and true philosophical things.32800:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,960There's slivers of truths from the Bible.32900:21:12,960 --> 00:21:18,080And then like sometimes like most of the time they're wrapped up in and other stuff right.33000:21:18,080 --> 00:21:26,280But when it just gets down to the core when it gets down to the core it's how you speak33100:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,720and how you speak is how you pray.33200:21:31,720 --> 00:21:37,440And so with this today like on America plus the innovation the better you pray the better33300:21:37,440 --> 00:21:46,000you live the better you pray the better you grow the better you pray the better you build33400:21:46,000 --> 00:21:52,480we're going to build back better.33500:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,760It's also just intention right.33600:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,480Like when you go into something with intention there's a higher chance that that intention33700:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,760will be met correct.33800:22:00,760 --> 00:22:06,360Like if you train for an iron man there's a higher probability that you will complete33900:22:06,360 --> 00:22:09,640the iron man.34000:22:09,640 --> 00:22:10,640It's that simple right.34100:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,880Like so many things are so dirt simple but in practice it can be so complicated and so34200:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,320hard.34300:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,680So it's just different thoughts man.34400:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,040Different thoughts.34500:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,040What else do I got right now.34600:22:25,040 --> 00:22:30,200I didn't have any notes I just wanted to express like where I'm at right now.34700:22:30,200 --> 00:22:35,480I always when it comes to the podcast as well I've been thinking about changing the format34800:22:35,480 --> 00:22:42,600somehow I don't know how I would do it but maybe just like I feel more bored towards34900:22:42,600 --> 00:22:43,600the end of the shows.35000:22:43,600 --> 00:22:44,880Do you feel bored at the end of the show.35100:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,320So I'm trying to just like tighten it up.35200:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,200I'm trying to make it seem a bit more dynamic.35300:22:48,200 --> 00:22:55,880I'm trying to make it feel a bit more a bit more personable along with observational along35400:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,240with like some messaging.35500:22:59,240 --> 00:23:06,320Like I don't want to be I don't want to try to preach but I am trying to spread a certain35600:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,680message.35700:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,860So just continuing to find that path.35800:23:11,860 --> 00:23:14,920Do you think prayer is innovative.35900:23:14,920 --> 00:23:20,360Do you think prayer is innovative.36000:23:20,360 --> 00:23:21,680If you don't why don't you.36100:23:21,680 --> 00:23:27,360If you do tell me tell me a moment when when prayer really changed something.36200:23:27,360 --> 00:23:32,940Tell me a moment when when when God really stepped in because it's on this Easter Sunday36300:23:32,940 --> 00:23:38,640that we get to that that Christians have a reason to talk about miracles.36400:23:38,640 --> 00:23:44,640You know it's only on Easter Sunday when we can really talk about how.36500:23:44,640 --> 00:23:50,640Like God did something different.36600:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,920And it's a very unique belief.36700:23:54,920 --> 00:24:01,640It's a very unique thing to to be into and while I scroll around on fountain and all36800:24:01,640 --> 00:24:06,080the and all the Bitcoin podcast there seems to be a good amount of Christians who are36900:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,000who are in the who are in the Bitcoin space.37000:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,120And what I want to do right now is just to speak to those Christians right now if you37100:24:13,120 --> 00:24:16,920are a Christian and you are into Bitcoin.37200:24:16,920 --> 00:24:25,480I just want to reach my hand out to you and I want to say we have a we have a opportunity37300:24:25,480 --> 00:24:30,160here to affect the Christian culture.37400:24:30,160 --> 00:24:36,120If we have a belief in a certain technology.37500:24:36,120 --> 00:24:42,040If the belief in the technology is that it can fix the economy then we need to also have37600:24:42,040 --> 00:24:51,680the mindset that the belief in Christ fixes the culture.37700:24:51,680 --> 00:25:03,200Correct belief in Bitcoin fixes the money belief in Christ fixes the culture.37800:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,840I just came up with that right now.37900:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,920We're at this point where like just shit's going down folks America's falling down.38000:25:12,920 --> 00:25:13,920Like I don't know what's going on.38100:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,240We are in the middle of the crisis.38200:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,160Like this is the crisis.38300:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,240And we got we got like eight more years of this shit.38400:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,440Like we got like 10 more years of this shit.38500:25:24,440 --> 00:25:29,240Like according to like some authors like we got wars coming up.38600:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,040We got we got crazy shit going down.38700:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,960And what's going to fix the culture like there's so much hurt in America.38800:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,200You know like when I say war like I mean like culture war.38900:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,360I'm not just talking about bombs.39000:25:41,360 --> 00:25:43,160I'm talking about culture war.39100:25:43,160 --> 00:25:51,000I'm talking about these insane narratives of like the trans person shot up the Christian39200:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,960school because the Christians don't like trans people.39300:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,160Like what the fuck is that narrative.39400:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,600Like get that narrative out of here.39500:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,640There's no fucking way any person who believes in Christ.39600:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,880Like if you are creating a culture of hate you don't believe in Christ.39700:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,320Like full stop.39800:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,560So like the narrative is false.39900:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,840Like the narrative is false people.40000:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,840Like we are not at war.40100:26:18,840 --> 00:26:26,160And if there is friction between any groups or individuals like just take the damn responsibility40200:26:26,160 --> 00:26:33,200and humble yourself and really think critically about about things because I'm not going to40300:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,360live in a country where we're fighting over each other.40400:26:35,360 --> 00:26:40,480I'm not going to live in a country where we're fighting each other based off of like petty40500:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,320doctrines or pronouns.40600:26:44,320 --> 00:26:50,440Like I feel as though the trans pronouns and people getting in fits about that is the same40700:26:50,440 --> 00:26:55,560thing between like Protestants and Catholics talking about translations.40800:26:55,560 --> 00:27:01,160It's some real bullshit play on words.40900:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,400And we're all just missing the point.41000:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,360The point is that we need to heal things.41100:27:08,360 --> 00:27:13,640We need to we need to be more cohesive.41200:27:13,640 --> 00:27:19,640We need to have a more cohesive environment as people and we're learning that.41300:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,360Like it's a constant learning process.41400:27:22,360 --> 00:27:27,760Like we're definitely not we're not killing as many people as we did.41500:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,480Like you know like the Romans are killing everyone.41600:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,240Like they're indicting Trump.41700:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,640They're not killing them you know.41800:27:34,640 --> 00:27:42,360And that brings me to the belief in Bitcoin fixing the economy fixing interactions between41900:27:42,360 --> 00:27:48,080between people between peer to peers between producers and consumers folks that brings42000:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,640us into the boosts.42100:27:50,640 -->

64.45900:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,960It looks like Joel W is a fan of Peter Attia.46000:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,300He sends in one thousand one hundred and eleven sats.46100:30:08,300 --> 00:30:10,240That's called a satchel of Richards folks.46200:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,240If you didn't know that a satchel of Richards.46300:30:13,240 --> 00:30:19,000Joel W sends in a satchel of Richards and says Attia is deaf a good source for health.46400:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,880Check out Andrew Huberman too.46500:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,200The two just did a podcast together recently.46600:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,240Yes sir they did boost me bitch.46700:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,240They totally did.46800:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,240I prefer.46900:30:27,240 --> 00:30:32,960So after listening to Huberman and Attia I definitely prefer Huberman.47000:30:32,960 --> 00:30:41,600I Huberman is my all time favorite health scientist influencer researcher guy like he's47100:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,120my guy for sure.47200:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,500And then Joel W second one.47300:30:46,500 --> 00:30:51,840I asked the question last week of what is the boot like what is it called when you boost47400:30:51,840 --> 00:30:58,040one thousand one hundred and eleven sats and it's just the second boost is Joel W telling47500:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,880me that he's telling me it's a satchel of Richards.47600:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,880So thank you.47700:31:01,880 --> 00:31:09,160Thank you so much Joel for those boosts.47800:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,440So over two thousand sats from this guy.47900:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,120When it comes to health you got to look into Huberman.48000:31:16,120 --> 00:31:23,280Huberman is like this like master of of like just protocols and tools and and making very48100:31:23,280 --> 00:31:30,400long podcasts about very important things like everything is so detailed with Huberman.48200:31:30,400 --> 00:31:36,500All the information is so thorough thorough.48300:31:36,500 --> 00:31:40,920This is this goes into what I'm trying to do as a person.48400:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,920I had the idea of so if we're talking about opening up avenues if we're talking about48500:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,480starting businesses I started like two other two businesses in the last week and a half.48600:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,360I got another business right here.48700:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,560We need there needs to be a brand.48800:31:54,560 --> 00:32:01,120There needs to be a brand that compiles all of Andrew Huberman's health stuff like along48900:32:01,120 --> 00:32:09,120with like Wim Hof stuff and it needs to be repackaged and sold as nerve health as in49000:32:09,120 --> 00:32:15,160your nervous system the health of your nervous system nerve health because this guy like49100:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,160this is just an observation.49200:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,960This is just like it's an open idea.49300:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,840If you want to do it go do it.49400:32:20,840 --> 00:32:21,960We got to like it.49500:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,920We got to change the narrative on how we think about health.49600:32:24,920 --> 00:32:29,440It's always been about fat loss and it's and it's been about like getting abs.49700:32:29,440 --> 00:32:37,080But the evolution of it of what it needs to be is looking at the health of your nervous49800:32:37,080 --> 00:32:43,480system because it is your nervous system that is the core of the entire process of you living.49900:32:43,480 --> 00:32:49,360It is the core of you living that you can you can you conceive that and when you listen50000:32:49,360 --> 00:32:54,040to anything Huberman it's just clear that like everything begins in the brain like it's50100:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,040neurons like dopamine.50200:32:56,040 --> 00:33:00,840Like if you have a goal the dopamine that you get when you reach that goal begins in50300:33:00,840 --> 00:33:07,560your brain and the amount of like dopamine your brain produces is determined on the things50400:33:07,560 --> 00:33:13,720that you watch and the things that you do and the consistency of them and it all just50500:33:13,720 --> 00:33:18,400needs to be wrapped up into one like nice little simple package like nerve health like50600:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,980we got it like either I'm going to do it or someone else should do it like so I'm telling50700:33:22,980 --> 00:33:25,240you to do it like go do it go make nerve health.50800:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,120Go make nerve health we need that shit we need that.50900:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,120Hello Shannon.51000:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,440Ladies and gentlemen my girlfriend Shannon Passy just got home.51100:33:33,440 -->

here don't worry.52100:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,680The last thing I wanted to get into is this clip that I found.52200:34:06,680 --> 00:34:12,520I've mentioned this clip a bunch of different times but if we're on if we're on this Easter52300:34:12,520 --> 00:34:17,280vibe I want to support other other Christians other Catholics.52400:34:17,280 --> 00:34:18,280Francis Ford Coppola.52500:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,520I'm pretty sure Francis Ford Coppola is a Catholic I don't know.52600:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,880Anyway it's not even about that.52700:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,320It's about movies.52800:34:25,320 --> 00:34:31,040This thing I've mentioned this one clip of Coppola talking about fat girls in Ohio being52900:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,600real artists and I finally have it.53000:34:33,600 --> 00:34:38,880I finally found like a good audio version of it and like this last like like the last53100:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,040few minutes of the show is just me talking about this perspective right here.53200:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,040Check this out.53300:34:43,040 --> 00:34:50,160So this is this is recorded in the 1970s during the making of Apocalypse Now and this is Francis53400:34:50,160 --> 00:34:56,400Ford Coppola speaking to his opinion on the future of movies.53500:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,840To me the great hope is that now these little eight millimeter video recorders and stuff53600:35:00,840 --> 00:35:05,080are coming around some just people who normally wouldn't make movies are going to be making53700:35:05,080 --> 00:35:10,560them and you know suddenly one day some little fat girl in Ohio is going to be the new Mozart53800:35:10,560 --> 00:35:16,240you know and make a beautiful film with her little father's camera recorder and for once53900:35:16,240 --> 00:35:21,800the so-called professionalism about movies will be destroyed forever you know and it'll54000:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,360really become an art form.54100:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,320That's my opinion.54200:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,800That's his opinion.54300:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,160That for some reason has like been ringing in my body been ringing back and forth in54400:35:35,160 --> 00:35:42,480my head for years for close to a decade ever since I saw the making of Apocalypse Now called54500:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,040Heart of Darkness.54600:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,120You gotta check that out if you don't know what I'm talking about the making of Doc of54700:35:48,120 --> 00:35:52,200Apocalypse Now is called Heart of Darkness and it is the most insane story of how they54800:35:52,200 --> 00:36:00,840made that movie but his view on this is so true and that was like 50 years ago like close54900:36:00,840 --> 00:36:07,000to it and now we got TikTok now we got Instagram now we got all this stuff and you know we55000:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,720got like girls are representing brands and girls are getting money like like more kids55100:36:11,720 --> 00:36:19,000like more more people are able to create videos and tell stories that can actually like bring55200:36:19,000 --> 00:36:26,040them wealth and bring them sustainability just to bring them like a good life and it's55300:36:26,040 --> 00:36:30,840funny how he says like the professionalism will end the professionalism with movies will55400:36:30,840 --> 00:36:37,840end there is this snobbery with Hollywood right there is this gold I'm on the red carpet55500:36:37,840 --> 00:36:47,640see like it's a very it's very status it's very it's very vain and we got I've shown55600:36:47,640 --> 00:36:53,880clips of Ben Affleck saying that I've saw I've read quotes of cinematographer Roger55700:36:53,880 --> 00:36:58,920Deakins calling out Hollywood for being that like his opinion like Roger Deakins he was55800:36:58,920 --> 00:37:05,600saying last year that the Batman was the prettiest shot movie and like the Batman should get55900:37:05,600 --> 00:37:10,480the Oscar for for best cinematography but it wasn't even nominated and Roger Deakins56000:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,760himself is like multiple Oscar winner so like he should know what a good frame looks like56100:37:14,760 --> 00:37:19,640and yet he's calling out the system for being snobbery for not giving the superhero movie56200:37:19,640 --> 00:37:25,760it's due and it's like just look at the quality here and I think that's the same thing when56300:37:25,760 --> 00:37:31,620it comes to like videos online there's this channel I've talked about this before this56400:37:31,620 --> 00:37:37,140channel on YouTube called defunct land like the fact that there's this channel that's56500:37:37,140 --> 00:37:43,680specifically dedicated to defunct amusement park rides it's both like it's both rides56600:37:43,680 --> 00:37:51,240and amusement parks defunct land it's incredible this guy his name is Kevin Perger he has a56700:37:51,240 --> 00:37:57,920documentary series like it might as well just be on Netflix Netflix just they might just56800:37:57,920 --> 00:38:03,560buy it like I want like a professional like thing to buy it so they can give him his due56900:38:03,560 --> 00:38:09,360but at the same time when I'm on YouTube I'm like this is why I'm on YouTube like I'm looking57000:38:09,360 --> 00:38:16,400for these creators with a vision and effort and I want to see them do it and I want to57100:38:16,400 --> 00:38:23,500see them grow and I want to see them like do something amazing with it and there's so57200:38:23,500 --> 00:38:29,440many examples of that you know people people like Hollywood people like put like put down57300:38:29,440 --> 00:38:35,480YouTube and social media and all this stuff and it's just so clear to me that it's just57400:38:35,480 --> 00:38:39,680where the entertainment is it's just where people are watching like movies are going57500:38:39,680 --> 00:38:47,120to be around forever but you're there's a higher chance you're going to know an individual57600:38:47,120 --> 00:38:53,780in some other some other place because of their content because of their trampoline57700:38:53,780 --> 00:38:57,800or because of their workout content or because of their whatever you know like there's a57800:38:57,800 --> 00:39:03,520higher chance of you knowing an individual who's doing their own niche thing rather than57900:39:03,520 --> 00:39:09,040like you following an actor through the movies you know you following an actor throughout58000:39:09,040 --> 00:39:16,640their career like I feel like there's an evolution of that happening and so I'm trying to do58100:39:16,640 --> 00:39:22,480that too like I'm trying to be this like modern Coppola this 21st century George Lucas I'm58200:39:22,480 --> 00:39:28,020trying to use the tools around me and to make something legit with it to make some real58300:39:28,020 --> 00:39:33,260art with it and I believe that I am and that's what I continue to lean to it's what I continue58400:39:33,260 --> 00:39:41,200to be grateful for I truly believe I've been making art these last six months no matter58500:39:41,200 --> 00:39:50,480the stress no matter the worry I am creating art and it's every single day that I need58600:39:50,480 --> 00:40:00,600to choose to open up myself and to allow that art to flow because it's when you allow to58700:40:00,600 --> 00:40:05,280it's when you allow worry to stay in your heart when you when you don't get to make58800:40:05,280 --> 00:40:11,280something good it's when you allow the pain or the regret or the resentment to fester58900:40:11,280 --> 00:40:17,280and to simmer when you allow those negative things to simmer then whatever positive thing59000:40:17,280 --> 00:40:24,600you want to go down like it just won't it just won't because you don't have that energy59100:40:24,600 --> 00:40:29,300and so I'm always seeking better energy the last six months like I'm it I made a conscious59200:40:29,300 --> 00:40:39,560choice to leave a toxic environment in October the weed shop was toxic like just no good59300:40:39,560 --> 00:40:49,240just no good culture and that was for my mental health that was for my emotional health I59400:40:49,240 --> 00:40:54,920forgot the main point of what I'm trying to say here but what I'm saying is you gotta59500:40:54,920 --> 00:41:01,280move forward with intention and you need to hold positive emotions so that whatever you're59600:41:01,280 --> 00:41:09,040trying to build actually gets built because if you hold on to the negativity it will not59700:41:09,040 --> 00:41:15,620and prayer is how you break that negativity prayer it all comes back to prayer prayer59800:41:15,620 --> 00:41:22,160is how you open up your heart to actually be humble maybe you need to change something59900:41:22,160 --> 00:41:27,200maybe you need to be a bit more responsible with something maybe you need to take on something60000:41:27,200 --> 00:41:34,720else maybe you need to drop something it's prayer when you're stuck in something when60100:41:34,720 --> 00:41:39,840you're like going around the track and there's like obstacles around you like there's nothing60200:41:39,840 --> 00:41:46,140wrong with a little prayer because when you begin to pray you begin to open up and when60300:41:46,140 --> 00:41:52,140you open up the world opens up have I
