1 00:00:00,330 --> 00:00:03,690 You know, you see masturbation in it, of itself. It 2 00:00:03,780 --> 00:00:07,710 oftentimes is not a real problem. The problem is that 3 00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:12,900 when you rewire your brain to associate sexual pleasure with 4 00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:16,350 poor and mess, and in your hand, rather than normal 5 00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:20,700 sex, Andy, because many people start to have this started 6 00:00:20,700 --> 00:00:24,300 this habit in the teenage years, it becomes so ingrained 7 00:00:25,170 --> 00:00:27,990 that it's so difficult to get it out of their 8 00:00:27,990 --> 00:00:32,550 head for later. So I always encourage parents to have 9 00:00:32,550 --> 00:00:36,360 this conversation about masturbation as, as early as well. 10 00:00:38,390 --> 00:00:41,840 Hi, and welcome to Podcaster Stories each episode, we will 11 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,690 have a conversation with podcasters from across the globe and 12 00:00:44,690 --> 00:00:47,930 share their story.

It's a pleasure and a privilege, and I 28 00:01:27,890 --> 00:01:31,160 am in a relationship coach and the life coach working 29 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,030 from Toronto. I, in general, I help my clients build 30 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:41,210 better lifestyle, a healthier lifestyle, a happier lifestyle. And my 31 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,630 podcast has also about that is, as you said, is 32 00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:48,320 to be version 2.0 of Yourself and it's all about 33 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,310 great relationships and being kind to yourself and being a 34 00:01:55,310 --> 00:01:57,110 real the best. What do you can be? 35 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,050 I know you had mentioned there that you help your 36 00:02:00,050 --> 00:02:02,870 clients be a better for them, and that comes through 37 00:02:03,140 --> 00:02:05,340 in a healthy, eating healthier live and et cetera. And 38 00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:07,460 I know you're also a big believer in end up 39 00:02:07,790 --> 00:02:10,040 yourself with your own journey and your own health journey, 40 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,780 which will obviously talk about it as the show goes 41 00:02:11,780 --> 00:02:14,360 on. But how did you come up with the idea 42 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,970 for the podcast itself? Was it natural progression from your 43 00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:19,700 coach at work or is that added on to it 44 00:02:19,710 --> 00:02:20,600 as a value on it? 45 00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:24,890 For sure. I started the podcast and in order to 46 00:02:24,890 --> 00:02:27,830 market myself using it as a marketing channel. So I 47 00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:33,590 basically started growing as a coach taking my training, starting 48 00:02:33,590 --> 00:02:36,950 work for the, my clients. And in parallel I was, 49 00:02:37,010 --> 00:02:40,670 I started the podcast. So they, they sort of compliment 50 00:02:40,670 --> 00:02:43,400 each other because I use the ideas from my coaching 51 00:02:43,850 --> 00:02:47,330 and the examples from my coaching and the podcast. And 52 00:02:47,330 --> 00:02:49,760 the idea is that come up when I, you know, 53 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,200 record my, my, my show, I actually then write them 54 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,350 down and use them in my coaching sessions, all that, 55 00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:57,500 because 56 00:02:57,500 --> 00:02:59,230 I was gonna ask you about that because obviously, you 57 00:02:59,230 --> 00:03:01,420 know, you have a podcast started in the summer of 58 00:03:01,420 --> 00:03:06,220 2019, July, 2019 was the first episode. And originally it 59 00:03:06,220 --> 00:03:08,110 was just you and then the pot that are on 60 00:03:08,110 --> 00:03:11,410 the show, but recently you've been bringing on more guests 61 00:03:11,530 --> 00:03:14,380 to, to discuss their lives and to discuss their healthy 62 00:03:15,610 --> 00:03:17,530 habits. So what's the process of the site in which 63 00:03:17,530 --> 00:03:20,740 guests come on and how that sort of, he eats 64 00:03:20,740 --> 00:03:22,810 and to our, our, our flows over to you or 65 00:03:22,810 --> 00:03:23,830 your business life, so to speak. 66 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,230 Okay. So first of all, I decided on the topic 67 00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:30,840 that I wanted to cover it in to one of 68 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,950 the next episode, then I look For for a person 69 00:03:34,950 --> 00:03:39,130 who is ready to talk about that episode. And especially 70 00:03:39,130 --> 00:03:43,710 that this is a little bit difficult because actually I 71 00:03:43,710 --> 00:03:46,440 want to go into, into specifics and I don't, I 72 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,490 don't want to just chat about general stuff. I want 73 00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:51,630 to be very, very, like pick up one thing. I 74 00:03:52,230 --> 00:03:56,790 like being very good in your communication over, you know, 75 00:03:56,790 --> 00:04:02,130 different online channels. And I want us, I want the 76 00:04:02,130 --> 00:04:04,890 conversation to focus on that. And the problem is that 77 00:04:04,890 --> 00:04:05,910 actually made it guests. 78 00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:09,210 They want to focus either on themselves or on something 79 00:04:09,210 --> 00:04:12,480 that they're is selling or just a general topics. So 80 00:04:12,780 --> 00:04:15,600 this, this makes it challenging a little bit. Right. 81 00:04:15,630 --> 00:04:17,280 And, and obviously you, you, as you mentioned, you have 82 00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:19,530 come up with a Topics, have you ever had to 83 00:04:19,530 --> 00:04:21,810 like, not publish a show because of the guests has 84 00:04:21,810 --> 00:04:23,970 veered off of it that much to try something of 85 00:04:23,970 --> 00:04:26,390 a background as a promotional stuff, or is that everybody 86 00:04:26,410 --> 00:04:28,020 has been pretty good to get to go on that 87 00:04:28,470 --> 00:04:31,500 Beautiful question because he has, I have that kind of 88 00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:36,270 experience with, with the one gas, because I tried to 89 00:04:36,270 --> 00:04:39,960 keep her, I may maybe even to guests, I think, 90 00:04:41,010 --> 00:04:42,870 I think the, the, the first one is, it was 91 00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:50,070 just completely the WWE, like when she kept going back 92 00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:55,640 to her, like to her products or services, and it 93 00:04:55,650 --> 00:04:58,620 just did not, did not offer much value. Yeah, that's 94 00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:01,170 true. And the, and the second one, I think, should 95 00:05:01,230 --> 00:05:04,590 I try to keep her on the topic, but she 96 00:05:04,590 --> 00:05:08,220 was, she was, you know, going to Gen things about 97 00:05:08,220 --> 00:05:10,290 her or a failed marriage. 98 00:05:11,190 --> 00:05:13,560 So it, it didn't, I, and I wanted to keep 99 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,730 talking about a breakup, like going over the break up 100 00:05:18,420 --> 00:05:21,810 specifically, but she was just, you know, to all over 101 00:05:21,810 --> 00:05:26,190 the place. And I appreciate it that, but I mean, 102 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,480 I want to deliver value to my audience and I 103 00:05:30,540 --> 00:05:34,290 didn't feel that I could do that with her, with 104 00:05:34,290 --> 00:05:37,230 the interview that were recorded or not. I, I D 105 00:05:37,260 --> 00:05:39,390 I don't want to be, I don't want to come 106 00:05:39,450 --> 00:05:42,060 across as a disrespectful, but I'm, I'm all about the 107 00:05:42,060 --> 00:05:43,500 value. And I say it in a high, a high 108 00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:46,560 quality of content, rather than Josie, you know, recording one 109 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,250 or two hours of Gen stuff that no one wants 110 00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:50,790 to listen to it. 111 00:05:51,450 --> 00:05:51,600 All right. 112 00:05:51,660 --> 00:05:53,460 And, and I think honestly, because of your type of 113 00:05:53,460 --> 00:05:55,830 shoe as well, that the value has to be there 114 00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:58,400 for your listeners, because it's an in their relationships in 115 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,460 their health and they, or their life. So if someone 116 00:06:01,460 --> 00:06:04,460 is giving the wrong advice or just push an agenda 117 00:06:04,460 --> 00:06:06,770 for want of a better word that fits into their 118 00:06:06,770 --> 00:06:09,140 own promotional stuff, that's not going to be equitable in, 119 00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:12,470 you know, lead to damage and the results for your 120 00:06:12,470 --> 00:06:13,220 listeners, I guess. 121 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:19,240 Mmm. Well, sometimes maybe, you know, people come, people do 122 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,420 come off as guests with generally a positive messages and 123 00:06:22,420 --> 00:06:26,890 they are offering great. CA, I really good advice. The 124 00:06:26,890 --> 00:06:29,470 problem is that it is not a real specific to 125 00:06:29,470 --> 00:06:33,070 specific enough for my show or four, the topic that 126 00:06:33,070 --> 00:06:36,190 I wanted to discuss, that's it, it's, it's really about 127 00:06:36,190 --> 00:06:39,040 just, you know, being, being too general and not being 128 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,630 too specific, not being too practical. 129 00:06:40,630 --> 00:06:43,360 You know, obviously now that you've got guests, there will 130 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,390 be bringing in a, a lot of additional information and 131 00:06:46,390 --> 00:06:49,150 experiences that you've been sharing as well, you know, from 132 00:06:49,150 --> 00:06:51,520 your own life and from your earlier types of the 133 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,190 podcast, what what's been some of the things that maybe 134 00:06:54,190 --> 00:06:57,520 you've learnt from your guests that you've taken and to 135 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,290 your own life and, and, and improved, or in an 136 00:06:59,290 --> 00:07:02,110 area, or to change something because of something that your 137 00:07:02,110 --> 00:07:03,790 guest's brought up. I think 138 00:07:03,910 --> 00:07:07,690 I like one of my recent episodes with a coach 139 00:07:07,750 --> 00:07:10,600 or a communication coach as well. It should talk to 140 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,160 me a lot. What are the things that should I 141 00:07:12,190 --> 00:07:14,890 talk to me is to actually be on the video 142 00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:19,210 when, when you communicate with anyone online, if it can 143 00:07:19,210 --> 00:07:21,400 be on the video or do it because of the 144 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,720 video ads too, the communication so much more, because it 145 00:07:26,230 --> 00:07:32,200 introduces all those nonverbal communication pieces that we miss when 146 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,340 we just talk over a voice, however, however, don't let 147 00:07:36,340 --> 00:07:39,340 the things stop you like, or don't over commit to 148 00:07:39,340 --> 00:07:43,090 VTO to the point where you say, okay, I don't 149 00:07:43,090 --> 00:07:45,630 have, like, I don't have 30 minutes to go all 150 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:46,930 in on a full video call. 151 00:07:46,930 --> 00:07:50,110 So I won't do it at all. Now, if you 152 00:07:50,110 --> 00:07:52,930 have five minutes and you want to do just an 153 00:07:52,930 --> 00:07:57,910 audio call, do it, lets us do it. And also 154 00:07:58,110 --> 00:08:01,030 one, one a good piece of advice she gave was 155 00:08:01,030 --> 00:08:05,230 What that he actually needed to be more expressive, fun 156 00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:09,460 with the line of communication, because we tend to be 157 00:08:09,490 --> 00:08:15,040 more robotic, more reserved when we talk online versus offline. 158 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,860 So we need to remember about this and it really, 159 00:08:17,860 --> 00:08:21,790 really put in more effort than just, just be more 160 00:08:21,790 --> 00:08:25,570 expressive, smile, more, make more gestures, just, yeah, 161 00:08:26,050 --> 00:08:27,580 No, I like that advice as well. Obviously we are 162 00:08:27,580 --> 00:08:29,680 recording. We have SquadCast at the moment. And one of 163 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,120 the reasons I like that, it it's got to the 164 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,340 screen room that we were using, where it's a video 165 00:08:33,340 --> 00:08:34,720 option we don't use. And a video of it will 166 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,210 be an audio show obviously, but the video option is 167 00:08:37,210 --> 00:08:41,200 here. And to your point, they just seeing someone's I 168 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,330 reaction because then you think you can tell, as you 169 00:08:43,330 --> 00:08:45,850 mentioned, we miss that nuance there. Oops. I may have 170 00:08:45,850 --> 00:08:48,730 said something there that it's actually insulted my guests without 171 00:08:48,730 --> 00:08:52,600 realizing it. Or you get just a more dynamic interaction 172 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,680 between people, I think. Exactly. Yeah. It's, 173 00:08:56,430 --> 00:08:59,490 It's the right of word interaction. It really is. It 174 00:08:59,490 --> 00:09:03,240 triggers a, it, it, it helps you be more emotional 175 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,330 and then the other person reads this off you are. 176 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,210 And also it becomes a more emotional and that just 177 00:09:09,210 --> 00:09:13,500 increases the intensity of communication makes it, it makes it 178 00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:14,100 more fun. 179 00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:15,830 So if I do, you know, your show has been 180 00:09:15,830 --> 00:09:17,810 gone for about a year and a half now. So 181 00:09:17,810 --> 00:09:20,660 July, we are mostly going to have to think, have 182 00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:24,440 there been any episodes that have stood out in particular 183 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,690 for you and if so, why that episode or are 184 00:09:26,690 --> 00:09:27,330 these episodes? 185 00:09:28,130 --> 00:09:31,490 It's my most popular episode, about 81 meal a day, 186 00:09:31,970 --> 00:09:34,700 way more people listen to it and to watch it 187 00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:37,190 on, even watching it on a YouTube. I mean, I 188 00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:41,060 put it on as a YouTube video right now. I 189 00:09:41,060 --> 00:09:44,240 think it was like 1300 people watched it, which is 190 00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:47,720 like really insane for at least for my show 191 00:09:48,410 --> 00:09:50,270 That was going to ask you about that. 'cause one 192 00:09:50,270 --> 00:09:52,370 of the things that you've done as you've, you've had 193 00:09:52,370 --> 00:09:56,570 a complete change of lifestyle from your earlier years where 194 00:09:56,570 --> 00:09:58,670 you are, you have changed up your eating habits, your 195 00:09:58,670 --> 00:10:01,190 healthy and live and habits. And you'd mentioned just know 196 00:10:01,190 --> 00:10:03,470 that you have one meal a day, which is you 197 00:10:03,470 --> 00:10:05,000 can fall in a keto diet. Is, is that correct? 198 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,650 Or did you snuck as well? Or are you, how 199 00:10:06,650 --> 00:10:07,820 did you know a snack? Is it just the one 200 00:10:07,820 --> 00:10:09,650 meal? And then you've just missed snacks all together because 201 00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:11,960 I had really missed snacks. I'm just curious though, if 202 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,600 it's a stricter regime, if any of your life, 203 00:10:15,530 --> 00:10:20,390 Absolutely. No snacks, only water, that's it just water. It 204 00:10:20,390 --> 00:10:20,570 won't be, 205 00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:23,180 If you decide to take that, was it a health 206 00:10:23,180 --> 00:10:25,880 issue or did you just look at how you were 207 00:10:25,910 --> 00:10:28,040 eating and living that you decided to change or how 208 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:28,130 long 209 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,490 A, you know, Danny, first of all, I look at 210 00:10:31,490 --> 00:10:34,430 this as an experiment. So I've been taking this experiment 211 00:10:34,430 --> 00:10:37,430 for more than a year. I felt good about it. 212 00:10:38,030 --> 00:10:40,400 And maybe I will change my mind. I don't know. 213 00:10:40,580 --> 00:10:43,760 I don't know. There are like pros and cons for 214 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,930 me, the best thing is that it lets me compartmentalize 215 00:10:47,930 --> 00:10:52,010 my life. So I started with in the first part 216 00:10:52,010 --> 00:10:55,130 of my day, I work that the second part of 217 00:10:55,130 --> 00:10:57,980 my day is I exercise. And the third part of 218 00:10:57,980 --> 00:11:01,780 my days rest where I actually have my meal. This 219 00:11:01,820 --> 00:11:04,730 is this one meal. So it helps me like really, 220 00:11:04,730 --> 00:11:07,790 really be effective. And it's not really affect that made 221 00:11:07,790 --> 00:11:10,520 me be efficient. See, because I didn't want to break 222 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,120 my first part of my day, which his work by 223 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,310 Niels for me, this is the biggest benefits. 224 00:11:16,340 --> 00:11:19,910 And they also say there are health benefits to it. 225 00:11:21,020 --> 00:11:26,360 And I, I think those benefits are pretty valid. And 226 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,730 one of them was that actually you managed your insulin 227 00:11:28,730 --> 00:11:32,600 better because the fewer times that you need you're in 228 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,090 the date and the less often are you releasing insulin 229 00:11:35,390 --> 00:11:37,790 and insulin, his bad for you. And is it, 230 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,200 So is that it's so the one meter that you 231 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,700 have is that like a larger meal to account for 232 00:11:42,710 --> 00:11:44,660 that, and then the non or other meals of your 233 00:11:44,660 --> 00:11:46,610 Lake, or does it sort of still a standard set 234 00:11:46,610 --> 00:11:46,850 aside? 235 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,810 No, of course it's larger because I, I need to 236 00:11:50,810 --> 00:11:54,190 get the Keller's in right day to, and I know 237 00:11:54,430 --> 00:11:55,740 A lot of people, I'm not sure that you've tried 238 00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:58,570 it now. I know a lot of people are doing 239 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,930 intermittent fasting. So I guess that's kind of similar to, 240 00:12:01,930 --> 00:12:04,150 to your point, or is it a little bit different? 241 00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:09,180 Exactly. It is an intermittent fasting. So my, my protocol 242 00:12:09,180 --> 00:12:12,960 is 22 hours of fasting and about two hours of 243 00:12:12,990 --> 00:12:16,770 eating some of these 20, 22 to two, whereas a 244 00:12:16,770 --> 00:12:19,920 lot of people, they stick to this 16 to eight 245 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:20,790 protocol. 246 00:12:21,270 --> 00:12:24,150 All right. And that's 16 hours of a, like a 247 00:12:24,150 --> 00:12:26,150 week's time, eight hours of downtime. When you first start, 248 00:12:26,490 --> 00:12:28,940 I fully got that wrong. That's a different one, right? 249 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:29,520 16, eight, 250 00:12:30,060 --> 00:12:32,670 Six to 80. Yeah. It was just like this. So 251 00:12:32,670 --> 00:12:36,150 let's say you start eating at 10:00 AM and you 252 00:12:36,180 --> 00:12:41,550 finish eating at 6:00 PM, right? That's eight hours that 253 00:12:41,610 --> 00:12:45,360 eating window, his eight hours and the remaining window was 254 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,010 16 hours. It was when you were a rest from 255 00:12:46,660 --> 00:12:47,010 food. 256 00:12:47,370 --> 00:12:50,130 No, you get your podcasts. That's about as, as you 257 00:12:50,130 --> 00:12:52,980 mentioned earlier, helping people on their personal journey and whatever 258 00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:54,330 that looks like, and this is the same for your 259 00:12:54,330 --> 00:12:57,480 coaching, but it's a, their health or their business goals 260 00:12:57,510 --> 00:13:01,110 are the goals, et cetera, but your own journey as 261 00:13:01,110 --> 00:13:03,270 being quite an up and up and down. One I 262 00:13:03,270 --> 00:13:06,120 got, I guess over the last few years, you mentioned 263 00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:11,160 that you got divorced in 2014 and then you moved 264 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,890 to, like, you made a big move from a country 265 00:13:13,890 --> 00:13:16,950 where you were living to Canada five years later. So 266 00:13:16,950 --> 00:13:19,830 I guess in 2019, you, you came to Canada. How 267 00:13:19,830 --> 00:13:21,660 much of a change was all of that? And, and 268 00:13:21,690 --> 00:13:23,280 how much of an impact did that make in your 269 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,540 life at that time? 270 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,550 Okay. So I always wanted to live in North America. 271 00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:32,250 So when I had this wonderful chance to come to 272 00:13:32,250 --> 00:13:37,440 Canada, I used it. I used it. And you know, 273 00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:40,980 my experience here in Toronto, it has been, is different, 274 00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:43,860 is different. So first of all, a like a lot 275 00:13:43,860 --> 00:13:46,920 of things. So I used to live in Russia and 276 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,270 Russia. He's basically a third world country. So here in 277 00:13:51,270 --> 00:13:55,590 Toronto, I get all of these benefits, like a great 278 00:13:55,590 --> 00:14:04,350 legal system, safety, secure investments, Now cleverness organization, which we 279 00:14:04,350 --> 00:14:07,830 don't usually have it in Russia, but at the same 280 00:14:07,830 --> 00:14:09,360 time, I feel lonely. 281 00:14:09,750 --> 00:14:12,240 I feel a little bit, and I actually feel nostalgia. 282 00:14:12,330 --> 00:14:15,840 I miss my, I miss my family. I miss my 283 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,950 son, especially who is, who is they're back in Russia 284 00:14:19,950 --> 00:14:24,060 or with my ex-wife. So I always wanted to come 285 00:14:24,570 --> 00:14:26,790 to come to a country like Canada or us to 286 00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:29,970 live here, but I did not. I never realized how 287 00:14:29,970 --> 00:14:33,150 lonely would feel and how difficult it is to do 288 00:14:33,150 --> 00:14:36,090 that at 36. And, and now I had a third 289 00:14:36,090 --> 00:14:36,570 38. 290 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,880 All right. And obviously, I mean, the, the pandemic at 291 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,400 the moment, you can't help either because that really limits 292 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,370 our interactions physically with people as well. I mean, obviously 293 00:14:44,370 --> 00:14:46,140 we can make up a zoom call or whatever, but 294 00:14:46,590 --> 00:14:48,540 you can, you mentioned out at about the, the, the 295 00:14:48,540 --> 00:14:51,120 video interaction that we're having and you have with clients, 296 00:14:51,890 --> 00:14:55,790 it's we need that physical visual touch. So how so, 297 00:14:55,790 --> 00:14:58,160 how has the pandemic pantry, and, you know, you know, 298 00:14:58,190 --> 00:14:59,300 I guess over the last year, 299 00:14:59,770 --> 00:15:03,790 I'm going to work from home, which is, which is 300 00:15:03,790 --> 00:15:06,280 fine by me, by the way, because this is a 301 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:12,790 very efficient, I actually, I tried doing in summer the 302 00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:14,920 summer, I worked with a client here in Toronto, we're 303 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,240 doing, you know, just like walk-in sessions. And they turned 304 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,870 out that is, this is not really helpful. And my 305 00:15:22,870 --> 00:15:25,930 coach, and because I can really focus on, I just 306 00:15:25,930 --> 00:15:28,660 don't know how to get distracted by all of the 307 00:15:28,660 --> 00:15:31,630 things. And I were can't really do practice as like 308 00:15:31,660 --> 00:15:36,580 visualization or a meditation. So, I actual, I'm sort of 309 00:15:36,580 --> 00:15:41,140 thankful two Covid in this sense, which it doesn't mean 310 00:15:41,290 --> 00:15:41,800 I like it. 311 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,360 Yeah. And I, I feel bored. I'm a little bit 312 00:15:46,450 --> 00:15:49,510 of stay at home field or feeling lonely, but compared 313 00:15:49,510 --> 00:15:52,060 to, to my clients, and then we talk about this 314 00:15:52,060 --> 00:15:53,440 all the time. They go it with them, they feel 315 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,440 much, much worse. So I feel that even though we 316 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,900 know it is, it has lowly, it just stayed at 317 00:15:58,900 --> 00:16:03,130 home. I was still, you know, I'm grateful that it's 318 00:16:03,130 --> 00:16:07,290 not that bad for me as For, I don't feel 319 00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:09,340 that bad as some other people do. 320 00:16:09,910 --> 00:16:12,130 And I. And I'm guessing because of your own journey 321 00:16:12,250 --> 00:16:15,040 as well, with the divorce and you come into Canada 322 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,770 and, and, and, and build in your life here while 323 00:16:17,770 --> 00:16:20,230 it's, you know, your you're not surrounded by you're family. 324 00:16:20,830 --> 00:16:24,670 That must be helpful for that, the culture and that 325 00:16:24,670 --> 00:16:26,920 you do in an offer and people are in similar 326 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,520 situations and help them overcome it too. Do you find 327 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:36,340 that you're, or you're also learning and get in help 328 00:16:36,340 --> 00:16:39,700 for the poor description? So there is a better word 329 00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:41,680 than that, obviously, but when you're, when you're working with 330 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,960 your clients and they are sharing their story and you're 331 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,230 helping them make the changes, do you find that almost 332 00:16:47,230 --> 00:16:49,240 a therapeutic for you as you continue to go through 333 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:49,900 your door and change? 334 00:16:50,410 --> 00:16:54,700 Absolutely. There's such a, such a good observation. Danny because 335 00:16:54,970 --> 00:16:57,760 I really feel that the, this pain that I feel 336 00:16:57,790 --> 00:17:01,480 from loneliness and really just any paid and even paying 337 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,830 that ice subject myself to like hypoxia or exposure to 338 00:17:05,830 --> 00:17:10,810 cold showers, this helps me connect to my clients, understand 339 00:17:10,810 --> 00:17:15,220 them better. Because if, if, if like everything was perfect 340 00:17:15,220 --> 00:17:17,650 in my life, I wouldn't be just in a very 341 00:17:17,650 --> 00:17:20,500 different place. And it would be difficult for me to 342 00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:23,890 understand that that's one thing. And another thing that I 343 00:17:24,010 --> 00:17:28,720 appreciate about this, let's say, be the lowland, those other, 344 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,670 you know, ways to inflict pain on myself is that 345 00:17:33,670 --> 00:17:35,260 I built psychological resilience. 346 00:17:35,980 --> 00:17:39,250 It, it really helps because down the road, things, we 347 00:17:39,250 --> 00:17:41,200 will not go with the way that I want them 348 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,160 to go. And let's say Gen, but like, just, just 349 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,030 think about family. You you, the members of your family, 350 00:17:49,050 --> 00:17:53,910 they eventually die. Right. And when I look at this, 351 00:17:54,420 --> 00:17:56,850 even though this, this time it was difficult for me 352 00:17:57,030 --> 00:18:00,240 while I'm away, it helps me realize that at some 353 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,960 point in my life, they will pass. That's a way, 354 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,470 and I will not be able to do, to be 355 00:18:07,470 --> 00:18:11,190 with them just like now. So it just makes me 356 00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:14,430 stronger. And of course it makes me appreciate them so 357 00:18:14,430 --> 00:18:16,080 much more while they're here. 358 00:18:16,940 --> 00:18:20,660 And I think that's, that's like a real important distinction. 359 00:18:20,660 --> 00:18:23,360 As you mentioned, I know a lot of people through 360 00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:26,390 the pandemic, I'm kind of sad. It makes us realize 361 00:18:26,390 --> 00:18:29,450 it exactly what we've gotten, what we could lose. 'cause, 362 00:18:29,450 --> 00:18:32,570 you know, a life can be snuffed out immediately You 363 00:18:32,570 --> 00:18:34,280 know, and you will never get a chance to you 364 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,810 see all these horror stories of people not being allowed, 365 00:18:37,830 --> 00:18:39,290 their loved ones that have to say goodbye. It they're 366 00:18:39,290 --> 00:18:41,180 at the hospital was in the us, you know? So, 367 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,560 so, so to your point, I think it's, it's a 368 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,190 really important to, to be aware of exactly what could 369 00:18:46,190 --> 00:18:49,220 happen and, and how we can prepare ourselves, you know, 370 00:18:49,220 --> 00:18:49,760 for that. 371 00:18:50,420 --> 00:18:53,840 Exactly, exactly. And that's actually a very good example that 372 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,470 you gave about not being able to see your loved 373 00:18:57,470 --> 00:19:00,320 ones. Let's say I have, I have a coach and 374 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,830 client here in Toronto, and she has a sister, an 375 00:19:03,830 --> 00:19:08,780 older sister who is, who is sick right now. And 376 00:19:08,810 --> 00:19:11,810 she is in a very bad shape, really in a 377 00:19:11,810 --> 00:19:14,480 very bad shape. And my clients can not see her 378 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,290 just because of this long down restrictions. And she feels 379 00:19:18,290 --> 00:19:19,790 so, so sorry about that. 380 00:19:20,330 --> 00:19:23,210 Yeah. So I know that obviously the vaccines or starting 381 00:19:23,210 --> 00:19:26,060 to the roll out across the globe and, and hopefully, 382 00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:29,360 and some form of normality will come back or whatever 383 00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:31,790 that looks like post COVID, because as soon as you 384 00:19:31,790 --> 00:19:33,740 mentioned is having a horrible affect on it. A lot 385 00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:35,960 of people are in a lot of, you know, ways 386 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,290 of life, I guess, one of the things that, that, 387 00:19:39,290 --> 00:19:41,750 that made me smile to when I was chatting with 388 00:19:41,750 --> 00:19:44,420 you, I'm pretty sure. And we were just going back 389 00:19:44,420 --> 00:19:47,690 and forth on email. You had mentioned that you've given 390 00:19:47,690 --> 00:19:51,980 up masturbation know I was that an off-the-cuff remark where 391 00:19:51,980 --> 00:19:53,870 you're just like, be in that as a funder Mark 392 00:19:53,870 --> 00:19:56,210 or what have you given it masturbation? And if so, 393 00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:58,100 what was the, the sort of your thinking behind that? 394 00:19:58,100 --> 00:20:01,130 Is that tied into your, your lifestyle now or something 395 00:20:01,130 --> 00:20:01,460 different? 396 00:20:01,910 --> 00:20:02,300 Yeah. 397 00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:04,760 Yeah. You mentioned that because this is an actual one 398 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,930 of my biggest specializations as a coach, too, because I, 399 00:20:08,930 --> 00:20:13,610 I went through that experience almost seven years ago. I 400 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,810 like, I know how to do it, and I can 401 00:20:17,810 --> 00:20:20,210 show my clients how to do it. And, and there 402 00:20:20,210 --> 00:20:22,880 isn't, I gave it up because it really was holding 403 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,490 me back. And I was at a lot of time 404 00:20:25,490 --> 00:20:27,710 at a lot of energy and how it was, felt 405 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,580 shamed have to wear. I masturbated, especially because I was 406 00:20:31,580 --> 00:20:34,970 married. So I kept masturbating through my marriage and it 407 00:20:34,970 --> 00:20:38,660 was really, really, really, really shameful for me. I could 408 00:20:38,660 --> 00:20:43,340 not like, yeah, I, I could get a quick escape 409 00:20:43,460 --> 00:20:48,340 from feeling bored by masturbating, but there was just like 410 00:20:48,670 --> 00:20:51,940 a couple, a couple of minutes of feeling good and 411 00:20:51,940 --> 00:20:54,640 then hours or feeling bad about myself. 412 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,490 I was really feeling that I was still in the 413 00:20:57,490 --> 00:21:02,530 time from my ex wife and my little son. So 414 00:21:02,530 --> 00:21:03,850 that, that was my big reason. 415 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,890 Know, you mentioned that you felt shame because you were 416 00:21:07,890 --> 00:21:10,950 married, obviously, so maybe you felt like I have a 417 00:21:10,950 --> 00:21:13,530 life they don't need to master a bit. Does that, 418 00:21:13,710 --> 00:21:15,690 do it, did the shame, is that come from like 419 00:21:15,690 --> 00:21:17,760 my PA your upbringing, or is that just something that 420 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,360 you've felt through the, the action of, through the, the, 421 00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:22,740 the sort of your environment you were end at the 422 00:21:22,740 --> 00:21:23,850 time? And yeah, 423 00:21:24,060 --> 00:21:26,490 I will say it's a, it, it came from my 424 00:21:26,490 --> 00:21:30,180 upbringing in my high standards, my wanting to be consistent 425 00:21:30,180 --> 00:21:35,040 with my identity, have a person with integrity. So it, 426 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,300 it never, it never really felt really, really, really never, 427 00:21:39,470 --> 00:21:43,200 always, maybe may be in my teenage years, it didn't 428 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,980 feel right because I, I didn't like the fact that 429 00:21:46,980 --> 00:21:50,520 I was hiding and then over the years to just 430 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,150 get, you know, exacerbate it because, you know, and now 431 00:21:54,150 --> 00:21:56,340 I have this wife and his son, and I was 432 00:21:56,340 --> 00:21:59,280 supposed to be a role model for, for my son. 433 00:21:59,940 --> 00:22:05,400 And I masturbating again, hiding So I I guess. 434 00:22:05,490 --> 00:22:08,250 So I was just, it was all about my integrity. 435 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:08,850 Right. 436 00:22:08,940 --> 00:22:10,920 I wonder if that, so, because, because we don't feel 437 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,720 like our conversation, I've got two young kids are out 438 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,700 of town in it, and my wife and I always 439 00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:17,670 try to balance the conversation as I get older and 440 00:22:17,670 --> 00:22:18,840 still, K what are we going to talk about it 441 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,140 now? And you can see their, their change in emotions 442 00:22:22,140 --> 00:22:24,390 and, and maturity, if you like. And, and one of 443 00:22:24,390 --> 00:22:26,040 the things we were always on a par, I know 444 00:22:26,130 --> 00:22:28,410 when I was growing up, my, my grandparents and my 445 00:22:28,410 --> 00:22:31,830 parents were always very secretive about you. Shouldn't be doing 446 00:22:31,830 --> 00:22:33,570 now, you know, you know, God all look down on 447 00:22:33,570 --> 00:22:35,400 you and I are in a bad way of You 448 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,030 or whatever. And I was wondering, as, you know, people 449 00:22:39,030 --> 00:22:42,600 have moved forward on generations of move forward and, you 450 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,140 know, its people don't have the HEID being a homosexual 451 00:22:46,140 --> 00:22:49,560 for example, are, you know, be in a so-called different 452 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:50,880 from what's classic as a norm. 453 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,260 I wonder if as, as, as more people don't see 454 00:22:55,260 --> 00:22:57,690 something as secretive and encourage it, if, if, if it 455 00:22:57,690 --> 00:23:00,270 might make it more acceptable, I don't know what your 456 00:23:00,270 --> 00:23:00,900 thoughts are on that. 457 00:23:02,610 --> 00:23:05,340 Yeah. You know, when it comes to masturbation, I think 458 00:23:05,340 --> 00:23:08,880 that people are still pretty, pretty secretive about it. They 459 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,860 don't want, they don't want to talk about it with 460 00:23:10,860 --> 00:23:14,070 their kids. They don't want to talk about, we talk 461 00:23:14,070 --> 00:23:17,850 about it with other people, including coaches. So let's say 462 00:23:18,060 --> 00:23:23,100 that's why quite, just, just, you know, basically a handful 463 00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:27,240 of people that feel, find the strength in themselves to 464 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:32,820 reach out to someone for help about masturbation. And this 465 00:23:32,820 --> 00:23:37,170 is this the right thing to do. Definitely because oftentimes 466 00:23:37,170 --> 00:23:39,720 it as a problem, maybe not, not the masturbation. So 467 00:23:40,020 --> 00:23:44,430 usually watching pornography, if it can be a problem. 468 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,100 And, and where that leads to, 469 00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:48,650 Obviously I had, there was that big story, I guess 470 00:23:48,650 --> 00:23:50,630 it's a bit of the last month or maybe a 471 00:23:50,660 --> 00:23:54,290 December. So one of the biggest ones is porn hump. 472 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,080 And that's based in Canada of all places and its 473 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,870 in Quebec. Umm, and they got like the government got 474 00:23:59,870 --> 00:24:02,930 involved in like a, a boat 70 or 80% of 475 00:24:02,930 --> 00:24:07,760 their content got pulled down because it was underage teens. 476 00:24:07,790 --> 00:24:10,460 It was, you know, it was very specific category. So 477 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,650 as you mention it, that's a huge issue from a 478 00:24:12,650 --> 00:24:14,630 legal point of view and not ranching on everything else. 479 00:24:14,990 --> 00:24:17,270 So yeah, it, it's definitely a, I can see like 480 00:24:17,270 --> 00:24:20,570 pornography is as can be like a huge issue is 481 00:24:20,570 --> 00:24:21,830 like sex trafficking or et cetera. 482 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,370 Exactly. It's like just a, as a father who has 483 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,730 a 10 and eight year old kids or are they 484 00:24:30,730 --> 00:24:31,180 assigned? 485 00:24:31,660 --> 00:24:34,600 No and our daughter is eight year old. 486 00:24:35,550 --> 00:24:39,460 Okay. Yeah. So like, just think about thinking about the 487 00:24:39,460 --> 00:24:43,300 boy, who would you would you want him to, you 488 00:24:43,300 --> 00:24:47,620 know, be like stayed in his room and watching porn 489 00:24:47,650 --> 00:24:51,490 and masturbating and hiding this and then, you know, wasting 490 00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:53,710 the time and his potential on this. What would you, 491 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,770 would you want him to do that? I guess not 492 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:57,070 right. 493 00:24:57,130 --> 00:24:58,750 Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, you bet at the moment we 494 00:24:58,750 --> 00:25:00,550 are good. We're good. In the helix to play video 495 00:25:00,550 --> 00:25:02,500 games, we have myself and my daughter said, we've got 496 00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:04,060 this little Tim thing going on. And so that's good 497 00:25:04,060 --> 00:25:07,270 that keeps them occupied here. But yeah, he's so nice. 498 00:25:07,270 --> 00:25:09,490 Tanny, you'll be a living in me, what you see 499 00:25:09,490 --> 00:25:11,890 in each others are fast approach and so maybe it 500 00:25:11,890 --> 00:25:13,780 will be here and we'll that maybe that'll be a 501 00:25:13,780 --> 00:25:14,350 new challenge. 502 00:25:15,430 --> 00:25:18,310 Yeah. Yeah. I challenge you to have this conversation with 503 00:25:18,310 --> 00:25:22,240 him, sit down with him and without shaming, just, just 504 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,710 really explaining the perils of masturbation is a special report. 505 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,760 You know, if you see masturbation in of itself, it 506 00:25:30,850 --> 00:25:34,450 oftentimes is, is it's not really a problem. The problem 507 00:25:34,450 --> 00:25:38,710 is that when you rewire your brain to associate sexual 508 00:25:38,710 --> 00:25:42,910 pleasure with poor and mess any of your hands, rather 509 00:25:42,910 --> 00:25:47,110 than normal sex, Andy, because many people start to have 510 00:25:47,110 --> 00:25:50,230 this and start this habit in teenage years, it becomes 511 00:25:50,230 --> 00:25:54,640 so ingrained that it's so difficult to get it out 512 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,050 of their head later. 513 00:25:56,350 --> 00:26:00,790 So I always encourage parents to have this conversation about 514 00:26:00,790 --> 00:26:04,600 masturbation as, as early as possible. So 515 00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:06,160 I know that's for sure that that would be a 516 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,870 bit like maybe I'll send them to Toronto for a 517 00:26:07,870 --> 00:26:11,320 couple of coaching sessions. I will get them on the 518 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,750 zoom I was in line with, you know, we had 519 00:26:13,750 --> 00:26:15,610 mentioned that you should get it launched in July of 520 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:20,590 2019 and it is it's how many episodes are, you 521 00:26:20,950 --> 00:26:21,070 know? 522 00:26:21,130 --> 00:26:24,120 Okay. How about 40, 40 of them? 523 00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:25,720 Yep. So it was, so what are your goals for 524 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,330 the future? You have just started introducing more guests to 525 00:26:28,330 --> 00:26:31,570 the show, a alongside your own staff, what's your goal 526 00:26:31,660 --> 00:26:33,490 or are you changing it for a month? Maybe doing 527 00:26:33,490 --> 00:26:35,200 more video. And then she mentioned earlier on or 528 00:26:35,470 --> 00:26:37,900 At it at this point. My main goal is to 529 00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:42,220 focus on, on masturbation and porn. So maybe the next 530 00:26:42,220 --> 00:26:46,350 down to episodes, I want to really, really focus on 531 00:26:46,350 --> 00:26:49,560 that because this has like the, the, the bulk of 532 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,640 my work. And I really want to do find to 533 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,300 find a niche and my marketing weight, because I say 534 00:26:57,300 --> 00:26:59,700 that I'm a relationship coach and it just, you know, 535 00:27:00,180 --> 00:27:04,440 that's, that's too broad for me. I have been trying 536 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,450 with this, with this specific topic for an masturbation and 537 00:27:09,870 --> 00:27:13,110 it showed me some pretty good results. So I'm happy 538 00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:15,630 about those results. I appreciate them. And I think I 539 00:27:15,630 --> 00:27:17,490 need to develop more in this area. 540 00:27:18,090 --> 00:27:18,330 Okay. 541 00:27:18,650 --> 00:27:20,600 Okay. And obviously, you know, you'll be having guests on 542 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,140 too soon to like share their experiences. And what would 543 00:27:24,140 --> 00:27:25,760 you be able to see a lot of clients on 544 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,740 that you've helped with this? Or would you be keeping 545 00:27:27,740 --> 00:27:30,020 that separate? And there are privacy, is it separate, I 546 00:27:30,020 --> 00:27:31,100 guess are kind of 547 00:27:31,190 --> 00:27:35,210 For a separate, of course my clients, they, they reached 548 00:27:35,210 --> 00:27:38,090 out to me, but they are very, very secretive about, 549 00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:41,600 about this habit of basically like if I think about 550 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,980 all of my clients now, I think there was just 551 00:27:46,010 --> 00:27:49,700 one person who told about this to anyone else beside 552 00:27:49,700 --> 00:27:52,550 me. So I actually feel very honored for a while. 553 00:27:52,550 --> 00:27:54,440 And I talk to my class because they are, I 554 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,620 am the only person they let know about their problem. 555 00:27:58,130 --> 00:28:01,190 You've obviously got, get up an interest in background and 556 00:28:01,190 --> 00:28:04,070 with different experiences, with different people and you meet a 557 00:28:04,070 --> 00:28:07,040 lot of different people through your client work and through 558 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:12,860 your podcast, if you had to name one passion that 559 00:28:12,860 --> 00:28:15,100 would be C your all time inspiration, you're all the 560 00:28:15,110 --> 00:28:18,260 time hero. Who would that be and why that person? 561 00:28:18,830 --> 00:28:21,590 Hmm. I think that there are a lot of people 562 00:28:21,590 --> 00:28:24,830 who inspire me, but just the one that comes to 563 00:28:24,830 --> 00:28:27,470 mind right now, for some reason it is, are on 564 00:28:27,990 --> 00:28:30,800 it just because I was writing his biography of with 565 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:36,170 my son a yesterday Over over WhatsApp, but any way 566 00:28:36,170 --> 00:28:39,950 that's Arnold Schwartzenegger K is first of all, he has 567 00:28:39,950 --> 00:28:42,290 such a great influence on me because I grew up 568 00:28:42,290 --> 00:28:45,530 on his movies back in the back in the nineties, 569 00:28:46,130 --> 00:28:49,850 even though I was in Russia, they were translated. So 570 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,520 he was, yeah, he was a role model for me 571 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,040 when I started to work out, when I started to 572 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,480 build muscle and strength. And since then, he has also 573 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,640 become a role model for me in many other areas, 574 00:29:01,670 --> 00:29:07,850 including the achievement motivation, just, I mean, let's say for 575 00:29:07,850 --> 00:29:10,610 example, one of his principles is that to get good 576 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,630 at something you need to do a lot of repetitions. 577 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,450 Like you do reps at the gym, the same thing 578 00:29:17,450 --> 00:29:21,350 with when it comes to my mastery in any of 579 00:29:21,350 --> 00:29:25,150 the areas of your life. I like his policy. I 580 00:29:25,150 --> 00:29:28,610 like his strategy about investments. He always, he always sad 581 00:29:28,610 --> 00:29:31,550 that you need to invest all the time and you 582 00:29:31,550 --> 00:29:35,570 need to, let's say never, never buy a house. Your 583 00:29:35,570 --> 00:29:39,710 first house don't buy it to live in it. If 584 00:29:39,710 --> 00:29:43,480 you buy a house, buy it as an investment. Yep. 585 00:29:43,510 --> 00:29:47,890 So he w was also a very frugal. I resonate 586 00:29:47,890 --> 00:29:50,380 for that a lot. I live in a minimalist lifestyle. 587 00:29:50,860 --> 00:29:53,110 I do my best too, you know, to cover my 588 00:29:53,110 --> 00:29:58,450 expenses. So this is an another, lets say he always 589 00:29:58,840 --> 00:29:59,140 cooked. 590 00:29:59,140 --> 00:30:01,480 He has his own food. And when he, he did 591 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:08,410 not a, he didn't had a, any luxury As things 592 00:30:08,410 --> 00:30:11,980 or ways to spend time when he was young, but 593 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,990 what he would do if he would just, but when 594 00:30:13,990 --> 00:30:18,070 he came to do the United States from Australia, he 595 00:30:18,070 --> 00:30:20,290 would just take his girlfriend to the beach and they 596 00:30:20,290 --> 00:30:23,440 will just hang out there for a very cheap and 597 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:23,950 very effective, 598 00:30:24,660 --> 00:30:26,460 Good for the half. I mean the outside of fresh 599 00:30:26,460 --> 00:30:28,140 air at the beach, the seat, they have their fingers. 600 00:30:28,140 --> 00:30:30,900 Perfect. Right. There we go. And I remember watching the, 601 00:30:31,290 --> 00:30:34,290 the documentary I'm back when I was a kid put 602 00:30:34,290 --> 00:30:35,400 all the back in the UK on when I was 603 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,410 by my town of 12, I can remember what it 604 00:30:37,410 --> 00:30:39,090 was that it was called. It was the, or something 605 00:30:39,090 --> 00:30:43,440 Irin documentary, but it was pumping, pumping iron. That's it. 606 00:30:43,470 --> 00:30:46,020 Thank you. So he was going through the, the, the 607 00:30:46,020 --> 00:30:48,570 readiness for the show. And I think if I recall 608 00:30:49,170 --> 00:30:51,810 Luther Cigna was also in the documentary along with some 609 00:30:51,810 --> 00:30:54,450 other bodybuilders at the time. And it was interesting to 610 00:30:54,450 --> 00:30:57,660 see how they both got into act in afterwards. And 611 00:30:57,660 --> 00:30:59,910 they, they, they had to sort of a similar career 612 00:30:59,910 --> 00:31:03,150 path, you know, obviously Lou Ferrigno was the hog corn 613 00:31:03,180 --> 00:31:04,980 and for him for Narnia and then a Terminator and 614 00:31:04,980 --> 00:31:05,340 all of that. 615 00:31:05,670 --> 00:31:09,660 So it's an interesting to see how these, these like 616 00:31:10,050 --> 00:31:12,210 the, the bodybuilders to us and to the, the, the 617 00:31:12,210 --> 00:31:13,380 movie industry at all, but at the same time. 618 00:31:14,190 --> 00:31:19,470 Exactly, exactly. And that's another, another thing I like about 619 00:31:19,830 --> 00:31:24,630 Arnold Schwartzenegger because he actually made this, you know, there 620 00:31:24,630 --> 00:31:28,260 are difficult shift in his career, right? So he used 621 00:31:28,260 --> 00:31:30,180 to be a bodybuilder. He has to be an athlete. 622 00:31:30,210 --> 00:31:33,780 And then he became a great actor, which, I mean, 623 00:31:34,610 --> 00:31:37,140 I guess what I'm saying is that old people have 624 00:31:37,140 --> 00:31:40,950 this potential. They have potential to be, to be great. 625 00:31:40,950 --> 00:31:44,430 And basically whatever they like to do. But so many 626 00:31:44,430 --> 00:31:48,780 people, they just wander that potential. Maybe they, they get, 627 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,200 they just get good at something in their life and 628 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,200 they stay there, even if it gets stale. 629 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,440 And let's say the interest in industry that they're in, 630 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,040 like, you know, dies off, but they still stay there. 631 00:32:02,580 --> 00:32:02,850 Yeah. 632 00:32:03,870 --> 00:32:05,400 I, I know like a sports and a guy who 633 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,740 was always, which is why are you going into politics? 634 00:32:08,490 --> 00:32:10,380 But it was always in the big America of the 635 00:32:10,380 --> 00:32:12,900 great American dream by immigrant comes in to the country 636 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,500 and gets to the highest position of the land. So 637 00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:17,460 it be an amazing story. And I was like, he 638 00:32:17,460 --> 00:32:20,670 was very vocal when Trump was in power, like the 639 00:32:20,670 --> 00:32:22,830 videos that are shared and the, you know, the, the, 640 00:32:22,830 --> 00:32:25,020 the movements he held back, et cetera. It's interesting to 641 00:32:25,020 --> 00:32:27,930 watch a move from his movie star, going to a 642 00:32:27,930 --> 00:32:31,380 career and to this, you know, serious politician, it's really 643 00:32:31,890 --> 00:32:34,530 pushing back against what Trump's stood for, what that kind 644 00:32:34,530 --> 00:32:35,850 of presidency stood for it. 645 00:32:35,910 --> 00:32:40,070 Yes, exactly. Exactly. So there you go from a bodybuilder 646 00:32:40,070 --> 00:32:44,390 to a movie actor to governor, and now to this, 647 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:49,910 like what media person this is. Yeah. This is the 648 00:32:49,910 --> 00:32:55,430 best example of the potential that everyone has and how, 649 00:32:56,210 --> 00:33:00,050 how we all can actually find motivation as long as 650 00:33:00,050 --> 00:33:02,750 we, as we find that motivation. And we can actually, 651 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,360 you know, get great results. No, for sure. 652 00:33:05,380 --> 00:33:08,620 For sure.
