00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:17.279

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And welcome Hi, and welcome to the You World order showcase. Podcast I'm your host, Jill Hart. And with us today is a dear friend of mine from very long ago named Jeff. Morton and Jeff is also a podcast host of the podcast let's talk about it, welcome to the show. Jeff.

00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:23.899

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Hey? Thank you, Joe. A pleasure to be here. I appreciate the invitation we've been good to reconnect as well.

00:00:24.030 --> 00:00:31.229

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It is really good to reconnect, and we full disclosure. We met through my Torah observance days

00:00:31.400 --> 00:00:34.229

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: which the listeners all

00:00:34.510 --> 00:00:53.019

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: pretty much know or should know by now that I deconverted a few years ago. And and it's really the reason why I started the podcast was my deconversion process and and finding hope in the world because I was. I was feeling like the world was ending, and there was no hope. And what's the point?

00:00:54.400 --> 00:01:00.449

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Yeah, well, I I mean the biggest thing that I

00:01:00.670 --> 00:01:03.429

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: that I appreciate about everything is just hope.

00:01:03.950 --> 00:01:08.279

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: you know. So I have this fantastic love for people.

00:01:08.550 --> 00:01:14.229

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and I began for me it was more of a freedom as opposed to a deconstruct.

00:01:14.928 --> 00:01:17.040

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Once I realized that

00:01:17.820 --> 00:01:42.459

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: a lot of the Torah based. Ministries were, in my opinion, a church service with its elite draped over them, and everybody wanted to be a 1st century Jew, and I was like, oh, there's gotta be. There's got to be a way that this has, you know. It just became another religious system to me, although I do absolutely believe in a lot of what I learned.

00:01:42.550 --> 00:01:48.510

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I just don't see it from a religious purview anymore. And so I thought.

00:01:49.190 --> 00:01:52.179

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: you know, why don't we just make a podcast about people

00:01:52.780 --> 00:01:57.070

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and and appreciate people. And that's what let's talk about. It's all about really, Joe.

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:07.439

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah, and and giving people a platform to to share what they're doing, because everybody's doing something really amazing out there in the world.

00:02:08.490 --> 00:02:09.369

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: You know. I

00:02:09.509 --> 00:02:29.489

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: that was the heart of why I did what I did. You know. You see, the podcast. Folks out there, you know they bring the high powered guests in the political people, the famous people. And I thought, Where's the average person? Where's the guy who or the woman who just wants is making a difference in the life of somebody else.

00:02:29.590 --> 00:02:40.060

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: or has something a story to tell that that we can all kind of agree with, where are those people in the podcast world? And so let's talk about it is my

00:02:43.750 --> 00:03:09.449

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: it's my segue away from all of the reasons. Everybody wants to be in front of a camera, or everybody has something. Well, let's just appreciate the people who actually do have something to say or have made a difference in somebody's life unless it could be your neighbor could be the guy at the grocery store. It could be the woman who's taking care of 5 kids for a family. Let's talk about that person without all of the stuff.

00:03:10.070 --> 00:03:14.299

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: because they're just people. They're just people. And they

00:03:14.510 --> 00:03:19.590

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: let's appreciate one another. Really, that's the heart of let's talk about it. I really didn't mean that.

00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:28.820

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I love that and it it's really it's the heart of the U World Order. In my opinion. Also, in that we are all

00:03:29.160 --> 00:03:41.950

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: we're all gifted with something, and we're all special, you know. It's not like, just because you're famous for 15 min for doing something. And a lot of times people are famous for doing things that

00:03:42.200 --> 00:03:43.680

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: all that nice

00:03:43.890 --> 00:03:55.489

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: in the the grand scheme of things, whereas everybody has something beautiful that they're doing or have done, or are contributing to making the world a better place.

00:03:56.050 --> 00:03:57.980

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: If it's just, you know

00:03:59.260 --> 00:04:03.700

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: they pick up after their dog when they take their dog for a walk. I mean, that's something that's

00:04:04.600 --> 00:04:06.579

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: somebody appreciates that.

00:04:07.690 --> 00:04:12.204

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: No, I was. Gonna well, go ahead and finish your statement. I don't wanna interrupt it.

00:04:12.990 --> 00:04:23.519

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I was I was talking to a person yesterday, and I happen to be in a restaurant, and there was a senior gentleman sitting at the table behind us, and he, kinda

00:04:23.790 --> 00:04:33.520

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: he said, I don't mean to interrupt your conversation, but, he chimed in on a couple of things we were talking about. I ended up sitting there talking with this 85 year old man

00:04:33.630 --> 00:04:40.769

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: who had a fascinating story to tell and unbelievable artwork.

00:04:41.360 --> 00:05:02.320

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I thought I was looking at photographs, and they were pencil drawings, and I thought. You know, this is the kind of thing I wanted. I'm invited to be on my show. He's not connected to the Internet. He doesn't have, you know he's not one of those people. He's from that generation, he said. Well, I have to do it in person, because I'm not good at the electronic bite you over to the house for dinner

00:05:03.430 --> 00:05:10.029

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: these 85 year olds, these 80 year olds, these 90 year old people. They have a story to tell.

00:05:10.490 --> 00:05:20.379

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and if you're willing to sit down and listen for 5 min, which this generation doesn't really do, that, we kind of throw the elderly away. In my opinion. Not all.

00:05:20.760 --> 00:05:28.640

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: But I was fascinated by his story, and I'm always intrigued when somebody, the average person,

00:05:29.850 --> 00:05:35.900

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: can get my attention because they have a story to tell. I just love. I love people.

00:05:36.450 --> 00:05:41.469

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: you know. If you're trying to cut my head off. I don't love you. Okay, I don't. I don't want to know you.

00:05:41.620 --> 00:05:55.319

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: but if you are just a person trying to survive, put food on the table, raise your kids, be a father, be a husband, make a difference in your community, and it's worthwhile to talk about.

00:05:56.310 --> 00:06:02.110

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: You know, I, Jill, you gotta. I drive through cities.

00:06:02.250 --> 00:06:04.480

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And I look at what we've accomplished.

00:06:04.810 --> 00:06:26.609

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I see these towering skyscrapers, or then I drive around and I see neighborhoods, and I see people and I go look at what we are capable. Does anybody in this day and age celebrate the capability of just the average person? So I created this podcast you know. And I find out that I'm finding out that most people don't care about the average person.

00:06:26.900 --> 00:06:28.000

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Well, I do.

00:06:28.540 --> 00:06:34.720

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And so, with a growing audience, you know, I started this thing less than a year ago.

00:06:34.980 --> 00:06:54.410

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I care about that average person, and if they want to come on and talk about their lives, or something they're doing in their lives. That's what let's talk about. It is I wanted to name it. Let's talk about you. In fact, it is. Let's talk about you on spotify, because the name was already taken. But there's a whole lot of shows out there. Podcast they're called, let's talk about it.

00:06:54.570 --> 00:06:57.629

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: So I didn't even think about that when I named it.

00:06:58.250 --> 00:07:00.559

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: but I didn't change the name, because

00:07:00.760 --> 00:07:05.549

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: my show is about talking about you. You're the it.

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:12.579

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: So come on and talk about it. Now there's certain things that I'm not really inclined to have on the broadcast.

00:07:13.211 --> 00:07:16.660

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: That's my personal preference. I mean, if you're

00:07:16.880 --> 00:07:22.729

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: if you want to cut my head off. Don't. No, please don't send me an email to be on my podcast I don't. I don't want to know you.

00:07:23.761 --> 00:07:30.799

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: But I'm open to just about everything that is available in the lives of people that they want to talk about? Does that make sense.

00:07:31.200 --> 00:07:33.440

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It makes total sense. Yeah. And

00:07:33.650 --> 00:07:37.619

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: yeah, you don't have to spend time with people that

00:07:37.970 --> 00:07:39.989

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: don't feel good to be around. And

00:07:40.980 --> 00:07:43.789

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: and I think those people are, you know.

00:07:43.790 --> 00:07:45.250

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: There's enough of them.

00:07:45.250 --> 00:07:45.980

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah.

00:07:46.770 --> 00:07:51.860

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: You know, life. Life is a celebration to me, and it shouldn't be a depressing

00:07:52.130 --> 00:08:00.889

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: end of the world. Kind of thing like what you what you mentioned earlier. It shouldn't be doom and gloom. It shouldn't.

00:08:01.280 --> 00:08:05.644

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Life is a celebration. It's like a gift. I always tell people, Joe.

00:08:06.130 --> 00:08:10.270

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: thank God, I'm not a rock under somebody's porch, right?

00:08:10.270 --> 00:08:13.899

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Because there's there's no life in that, I mean.

00:08:14.290 --> 00:08:20.600

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: unless somebody picks me up and throws me in the water. I'm gonna be that rock out of the porch, and I just don't think that that's

00:08:20.900 --> 00:08:35.029

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: thank God, I mean, really, thank God, I'm not an inanimate object that has no voice, no thought, no process, and that I can interact with the people that I share this particular time with. I think it's a beautiful thing I really do.

00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:41.170

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I love that we can connect with people all over the world in a space that doesn't even exist.

00:08:42.220 --> 00:08:47.430

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I couldn't agree with you more, I think. You know.

00:08:48.050 --> 00:08:51.049

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: to talk to some. I have. People call me from India.

00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:54.190

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's just 3 o'clock in the morning.

00:08:55.950 --> 00:08:59.640

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I've had more than a few people call me from the other side of the world.

00:08:59.810 --> 00:09:03.429

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and I'm asleep when I get up, and I talk to him.

00:09:04.275 --> 00:09:09.180

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I think that's a myth. I think that's kind of cool, but

00:09:09.660 --> 00:09:19.709

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: not always, you know. Not always. But I agree with you to have this technology and to be able to talk to people all over the world. I get emails from all over the world.

00:09:19.900 --> 00:09:26.960

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And I've even had to Google decipher some because I didn't know what they were talking about.

00:09:27.280 --> 00:09:31.150

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: But I think the technology brings us closer if we allow it to do that

00:09:31.340 --> 00:09:35.639

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: as opposed to push us apart, and I think there's too much of that going on.

00:09:37.670 --> 00:09:39.649

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I do, too, and I

00:09:40.020 --> 00:09:58.790

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: just the ability to be able to connect with people from so many different places. I remember when I was young. I I must have been maybe 10 or 11. We lived in Japan at the time, and we went to a museum, and they had what they called a vision, which was basically zoom.

00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:10.210

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And we'd stood on either side of this board. But we could see each other on the screen, and I I always remember that when Zoom 1st came out it's like

00:10:10.860 --> 00:10:19.089

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: it's here, but I can talk with people from far away and see what they look like, which is

00:10:19.270 --> 00:10:20.400

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: kind of cool.

00:10:20.690 --> 00:10:25.129

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I have people that are apprehensive. They say, Well, I don't really feel

00:10:25.490 --> 00:10:28.631

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: feel in fact, one per particular person.

00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:33.889

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: her. Podcast. She did a show with me, she said. I don't. I don't feel.

00:10:34.060 --> 00:10:36.200

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: you know good enough to do this.

00:10:36.650 --> 00:10:43.060

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And I said, Well, what does that have to do with anything? Do you have a story to tell? She said. Yes. Well, she wrote a book.

00:10:43.590 --> 00:10:49.030

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and the story she told on the podcast was compelling very difficult

00:10:49.555 --> 00:10:56.729

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and it it struck a chord with me because she was telling about the abuse and the things that she went through as a little girl.

00:10:56.940 --> 00:10:59.530

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and I think for the 1st time in my life

00:11:00.060 --> 00:11:04.009

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I had never really thought about that kind of abuse

00:11:04.730 --> 00:11:10.659

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: from the perspective of a female who's sharing it, you know I never.

00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:22.579

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I was able to put myself in her shoes and go. Wow! I've never thought about being a girl going through this at 12 or 13 years of age, and it was one of my most popular shows to this very day. So I'm like

00:11:23.210 --> 00:11:28.359

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: she didn't realize that her story was compelling. And she she had this kind of mindset that

00:11:28.930 --> 00:11:31.440

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: maybe I'm not good enough to do this. Well.

00:11:31.950 --> 00:11:35.739

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: it was. It was to me it was therapeutic, what she had to offer. So

00:11:36.280 --> 00:11:46.160

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and and that's the thing about podcasting you. You never really know how impactful

00:11:46.280 --> 00:11:51.709

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: somebody's story is going to be, or how it might affect somebody's life. And I think, like you, Joe.

00:11:52.310 --> 00:11:59.020

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: everybody's got something to share, and I think I can't.

00:11:59.140 --> 00:12:02.710

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I can't count how many times. Somebody's called me.

100

00:12:03.230 --> 00:12:07.099

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Having listened to my podcast. Or seen something, I post and they go.

101

00:12:07.230 --> 00:12:14.389

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: You know, that just made a huge difference. Thank you. For this. I get that all the time. Actually, in particular, from Facebook.

102

00:12:14.490 --> 00:12:17.930

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I'm I'm trying to learn Instagram kind of sort of.

103

00:12:18.250 --> 00:12:25.820

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: But Facebook has been a place that I have parked my world for a while. Now.

104

00:12:26.540 --> 00:12:30.270

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: obviously, I'm looking for other other places to do what I do.

105

00:12:30.410 --> 00:12:37.570

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Youtube's banned me a few times they shadow banned me so I mean, hey.

106

00:12:37.570 --> 00:12:42.369

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Not anybody. If you haven't been banned from Facebook or Youtube.

107

00:12:42.370 --> 00:12:48.890

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: My category. Okay, I'm a Biblical believer, but not a church believer.

108

00:12:49.200 --> 00:13:05.359

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I am conservative in my way of thinking about things. Not. And I wrote a book called Uncolored Race. So I'm not racially inclined. I'm not involved in the racial identities. I'm just a guy

109

00:13:05.470 --> 00:13:09.990

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: who who has a particular position in my the way, I think.

110

00:13:10.110 --> 00:13:14.390

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and I don't. I don't think I need to go to church to. To make that

111

00:13:14.950 --> 00:13:24.959

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: point. I don't think I need to go stand in front of a black audience and say, Hey, I've never been black and proud. I was black and poor, as my mother used to say all the time.

112

00:13:25.510 --> 00:13:30.309

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I'm I'm an American citizen who who just believes.

113

00:13:30.520 --> 00:13:32.490

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and the freedoms that we have

114

00:13:32.640 --> 00:13:39.500

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and and the growth of this nation. And I just see life as being something to appreciate.

115

00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:44.500

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And when you start getting into all these different things, then you.

116

00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:45.520

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: To divide us.

117

00:13:45.520 --> 00:13:45.850

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Yeah.

118

00:13:45.850 --> 00:13:46.230

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Is, that.

119

00:13:46.230 --> 00:13:47.950

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Absolutely. That's not all.

120

00:13:47.950 --> 00:13:54.900

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Goal is just to make us angry with each other when there's nothing to be angry about made.

121

00:13:54.900 --> 00:13:55.500

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Bye.

122

00:13:55.780 --> 00:14:00.809

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: It's not that there aren't situations, and I'm not. Gonna I'm going to bring this up because

123

00:14:01.340 --> 00:14:08.409

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I do know people who have been affected by things like being pulled over by police officers, and

124

00:14:08.900 --> 00:14:18.640

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: because of their color they fear for themselves. That's wrong, and it it should not exist, and

125

00:14:18.890 --> 00:14:22.979

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I feel very strongly about that. But you can't I?

126

00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:30.590

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: When when you start doing all this race stuff, I think it just makes that kind of problem much worse.

127

00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:36.089

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Well, you you said it best. It's to divide. I've been pulled over by cops who were idiots.

128

00:14:36.300 --> 00:14:44.250

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and so I look at the police in general, and I go. Thank God, we got police! But every once in a while I got an idiot. I've had neighbors who were idiots.

129

00:14:44.890 --> 00:14:50.500

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I have family members who are idiots. There's an idiot everywhere. You look so I.

130

00:14:50.500 --> 00:14:51.400

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Everywhere.

131

00:14:51.550 --> 00:14:56.240

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I I find that you know, because of where we are today.

132

00:14:56.380 --> 00:15:01.489

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: It's easier to not lower myself to idiocy

133

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:08.959

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: because of my own self respect. So when I'm dealing with that type of person that's their issue, I don't have to adopt it.

134

00:15:09.160 --> 00:15:12.620

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: The love of people is much more rewarding

135

00:15:12.740 --> 00:15:29.919

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: than to be caught up in stupid I call it caught up in stupid. I don't want to do stupid. I don't want to be in your life doing stupid, and I don't want you in my life doing stupid. And so I look for the person and the individual who's not a part of all that, you know.

136

00:15:30.210 --> 00:15:34.769

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and and to me, I mean, that's really the

137

00:15:35.680 --> 00:15:41.509

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: the joy of humanity is coming together. Not not celebrating stupid.

138

00:15:41.870 --> 00:15:44.709

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I wrote, I wrote the book on Carling Wraith.

139

00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:48.700

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and the only reason why I didn't call it uncoloring stupid

140

00:15:48.890 --> 00:15:52.690

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: was because I didn't want it to be in your face kind of thing.

141

00:15:53.590 --> 00:15:56.659

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: But while I'm writing the book.

142

00:15:56.660 --> 00:15:59.919

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Actually, I want to re-release it.

143

00:16:00.210 --> 00:16:07.020

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I wrote another book, and I didn't publish it. It's called politically incorrect on purpose, and it was so hard

144

00:16:07.170 --> 00:16:10.559

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: when I reread the manuscript a couple of times where

145

00:16:10.750 --> 00:16:15.179

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I can't put this out there. This this is just adding to division.

146

00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:20.810

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: so I didn't. I never published the book, but doing the.

147

00:16:20.810 --> 00:16:21.969

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Verdict to write it.

148

00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:24.060

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: It was

149

00:16:24.500 --> 00:16:30.800

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: when I wrote that book I was pissed off. To be honest with you. If you want to know the truth, I was so sick of the race.

150

00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:34.010

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: the all this stuff.

151

00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:48.410

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: all these words that we had to say or couldn't say, and all these different things that I'm like, can't we just be neighborly? Can't we have a little civility? Do we have to say? Well, you can't say that I got kicked off of a website that I

152

00:16:50.650 --> 00:16:53.139

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: because I pronounced the name wrong

153

00:16:53.750 --> 00:17:00.380

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and they kicked me off the website because I refused to to. It's like, Are you kidding me?

154

00:17:00.760 --> 00:17:05.679

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Who's got time for this. So I was like, Okay, kick me off. I'm better off for it. We'll go down the road.

155

00:17:05.940 --> 00:17:09.780

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: It just doesn't make any sense to me

156

00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:18.899

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: to not allow a person. If you're gonna allow a person in your life, allow them in your life. Okay, allow them to be, whoever they are in your life.

157

00:17:20.790 --> 00:17:29.939

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: If it gets to the point where that's not a good thing, it's not a healthy thing. Then you have a choice to make, but don't prejudge them at the gate.

158

00:17:30.290 --> 00:17:34.440

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: You know I have. There's a particular person.

159

00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:36.330

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: He's brilliant.

160

00:17:36.810 --> 00:17:45.410

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: He's of the LGBT community. I'm not necessarily a fan of the LGBT mindset when it's forced on me. This guy I love this guy.

161

00:17:45.660 --> 00:18:01.350

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I absolutely love this guy, and whatever his life is like behind, whatever it is. That's his business. But he's a brilliant person, and that should be the 1st thing we see in people. And I just I just believe that. However.

162

00:18:01.450 --> 00:18:06.639

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: that's a hard point to get across. If you're pigeoned into a particular

163

00:18:08.370 --> 00:18:18.949

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: oh, you'd be surprised. I've been called Uncle Tom. I've been called Oreo. I've been called all these names. The one thing I haven't been called is by my 1st name.

164

00:18:19.460 --> 00:18:23.049

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and and I don't have time for people who can't.

165

00:18:25.330 --> 00:18:29.800

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I guess what I'm trying to say, Jill, is, I have enough self respect

166

00:18:30.110 --> 00:18:35.310

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: to where your disrespect doesn't bother me. I don't let it bother me.

167

00:18:35.610 --> 00:18:39.600

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And I open my life up to people. That's why I do the podcast

168

00:18:40.289 --> 00:18:47.080

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: so you know, if it gets to Lulu, okay, probably you're not a good candidate. I might

169

00:18:47.360 --> 00:18:52.519

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: on my podcast but believe you, me, I'm going to be the one to make that decision.

170

00:18:52.660 --> 00:19:01.300

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: It's my podcast okay. But everybody's welcome. Everybody's invited until you're uninvited. That's kind of how I look at it.

171

00:19:02.120 --> 00:19:02.640

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: You know.

172

00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:03.739

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I love that.

173

00:19:04.320 --> 00:19:06.459

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: You know your name means Traveler.

174

00:19:07.620 --> 00:19:09.110

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: No, I didn't know that.

175

00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:13.174

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: My husband and my son and my father-in-law are all Jeffries.

176

00:19:13.490 --> 00:19:14.590

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Oh, you're kidding, really.

177

00:19:14.690 --> 00:19:15.550

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah.

178

00:19:16.090 --> 00:19:16.780

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Wow!

179

00:19:16.950 --> 00:19:19.015

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: You should feel right at home.

180

00:19:19.360 --> 00:19:21.780

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I do. I do. I'm just like Oh.

181

00:19:21.900 --> 00:19:24.957

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: another Jeff in my life I like Jeff's.

182

00:19:25.340 --> 00:19:35.710

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Well, you know what I found out. I want to get steer back to the podcast. I did a podcast. With a biblical scholar. We had 10,000 listeners. I mean, it was huge.

183

00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:55.339

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Then I decided to do this. I've been doing this, Joe, for a while now. I started with a radio show on Salem communication down in Seattle had to drive Seattle every Sunday to do my show, and they wouldn't tell me what my listenership was, which I thought was odd, but the cost to do this

184

00:19:55.590 --> 00:20:11.229

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: people were sponsoring me to do this show. I only found out after I decided not to do the show, because I felt guilty with people spending that much of their money to put me on the show for an hour down in Seattle I felt guilty.

185

00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:18.039

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: It was when I decided I'm not going to do this anymore. Then they let me know how my listenership was.

186

00:20:18.490 --> 00:20:24.109

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Well, I don't know if that was their way of dragging more money out of me, and I thought

187

00:20:25.270 --> 00:20:30.020

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I I can't ask people to support.

188

00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:33.560

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: You know that much money.

189

00:20:33.990 --> 00:20:43.769

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Trust me. I like support. Don't, don't misunderstand me. I just felt guilty, plus. I had to drive Seattle to do it every Sunday, I thought, well, let's look at the Internet.

190

00:20:44.070 --> 00:20:58.789

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And so I started looking at the Internet. And I realized, Man, this is a lot cheaper. So I bought the equipment. And I've been doing this kind of thing for a long time. Now, this is the very 1st podcast that I set off to do on my own

191

00:20:59.370 --> 00:21:10.609

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: because for one reason, and one reason only, to to meet people who are making a difference in the lives of other people, and get away from all of the anti stuff

192

00:21:10.860 --> 00:21:12.589

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: to just be people

193

00:21:12.860 --> 00:21:32.249

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: that share a story. And I thought, Well, okay, I'll do this. I'll convert this room in my home and we'll make it happen. And I'm not trying to teach anybody anything I'm not trying to encourage. Well, I want to encourage people to be okay, being people. But I'm not. I'm not trying to pour something into your head.

194

00:21:33.890 --> 00:21:37.610

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I what I try to do is get people to just go back and look

195

00:21:38.540 --> 00:21:40.880

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: at what it's like today.

196

00:21:41.270 --> 00:21:43.530

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: They released the

197

00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:52.150

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: All of the documentation on the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King. That's been released today.

198

00:21:52.150 --> 00:21:53.249

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: When I think.

199

00:21:53.250 --> 00:22:04.349

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: It. Yeah. President Trump released all this information. He declassified it all. And so for me, because I'm history driven. Let's go back and see what the truth was.

200

00:22:04.520 --> 00:22:12.119

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Well, I'm always challenging people to go back and and see what what's either been revised, what you've been lied to

201

00:22:12.730 --> 00:22:16.570

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: that part of me. I'm always going to do because I'm a history fanatic.

202

00:22:17.430 --> 00:22:21.379

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: But to have somebody come on my show and just share their story.

203

00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:27.640

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: That's what let's talk about it is all about, and I I want to give them the platform to just

204

00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:33.840

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: be the housewife who's got a problem, or the alcoholic who's recovered or the child is

205

00:22:33.940 --> 00:22:36.480

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: gone through a difficult thing.

206

00:22:39.820 --> 00:22:41.809

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Give those people a voice.

207

00:22:42.210 --> 00:22:49.189

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: If that's what this podcasting is all about and that's kind of my heart to do this. But if you want to know a little bit about history

208

00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:53.539

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: we can have that conversation, too, because I love history.

209

00:22:53.930 --> 00:23:08.979

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I love history, too. I love how history has kind of changed over the years. We're both old enough that we remember things which is kind of interesting when you talk to people who don't really remember. And I have a good memory

210

00:23:09.340 --> 00:23:19.570

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: like something will happen today, and and people will be like, oh, this is a terrible thing. It's like we. We didn't get here in a vacuum. Hello!

211

00:23:19.820 --> 00:23:28.479

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: There was stuff that that happened way back that led to this, this event, that, just like

212

00:23:28.590 --> 00:23:31.409

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: suddenly the cataclysm erupted.

213

00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.670

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: You know it's funny, because I can take a 16 year old kid.

214

00:23:38.530 --> 00:23:41.070

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and ask them what is the cassette?

215

00:23:41.760 --> 00:23:46.495

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And they don't know what is a what is a

216

00:23:47.140 --> 00:23:49.290

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: A track clueless?

217

00:23:49.510 --> 00:23:51.149

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: They have no concept of it.

218

00:23:51.460 --> 00:23:54.419

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: The same thing is true about history. Unfortunately.

219

00:23:54.740 --> 00:23:58.189

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I can ask a 16 year old or 17 year old.

220

00:23:58.340 --> 00:24:03.820

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: What do you know about the Us. Constitution or

221

00:24:05.290 --> 00:24:09.230

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: or anything? I mean, we go all the way back to just the Aids thing.

222

00:24:09.340 --> 00:24:14.799

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: They don't know how many people died there. There's no.

223

00:24:14.800 --> 00:24:16.719

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Or who was involved in it.

224

00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:18.399

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Yes, hopefully, that'll.

225

00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:24.080

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Close circles back around to the thing that we just went through.

226

00:24:24.180 --> 00:24:29.570

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Those were connected, but people don't realize that they were very much connected.

227

00:24:29.790 --> 00:24:34.839

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: We don't realize that Fauci was there, and here they don't.

228

00:24:34.840 --> 00:24:35.839

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Don't get it

229

00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:42.189

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: so. But then there's 16 year, and we're also you and I I'm I'm sure we could say this.

230

00:24:42.600 --> 00:24:46.670

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: We're dealing with a whole different kind of generation of people

231

00:24:46.800 --> 00:24:56.519

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: when you're under 20 years old, or even when you're under 30. It's kind of funny. Now we're at this age where those who came before us. They know this already.

232

00:24:56.750 --> 00:25:03.020

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Yeah, I think about it. Let me let me throw this at you, Joe, 1980, was

233

00:25:03.460 --> 00:25:05.380

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: 45 years ago.

234

00:25:06.226 --> 00:25:08.849

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Such a golden age!

235

00:25:08.850 --> 00:25:14.610

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: So. So if you go 45 years back

236

00:25:14.860 --> 00:25:18.730

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: from 1980, you're 1945.

237

00:25:19.030 --> 00:25:19.580

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah.

238

00:25:20.040 --> 00:25:24.489

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And I sit here. Did I get the math? I don't think I got the math, but

239

00:25:26.610 --> 00:25:28.949

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I mean, I think about that, and I go.

240

00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:38.239

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: This thing moves so fast, so fast. If you don't take time to enjoy

241

00:25:38.610 --> 00:25:41.979

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: the goodness that life offers us, you're gonna miss it.

242

00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:48.160

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And I think the goodness that life offers us is almost always in the life of other people.

243

00:25:48.650 --> 00:25:50.410

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I just do. I think

244

00:25:50.860 --> 00:25:58.870

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: you know, you know, when you sit I watch the videos of this of the service member coming home and surprising people.

245

00:25:59.190 --> 00:26:00.150

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I love those.

246

00:26:00.150 --> 00:26:00.889

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: For the.

247

00:26:01.010 --> 00:26:10.069

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: The the person who puts on the colored glasses for the 1st time so they could see color. I sit in my you can ask my wife and testify here.

248

00:26:10.420 --> 00:26:13.999

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I sit down there watching these videos

249

00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:19.320

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: with tears pouring down my face, because I love to see people

250

00:26:20.010 --> 00:26:23.080

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: experience the best part of life.

251

00:26:23.490 --> 00:26:27.470

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: or when I watch. I've watched these shows with everybody's a singer.

252

00:26:28.250 --> 00:26:31.930

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: but I love to see people celebrated.

253

00:26:32.760 --> 00:26:35.340

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and those ones of the soldiers coming home.

254

00:26:35.840 --> 00:26:41.659

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: That's instant tears for me, instant tears for me or families being reunited.

255

00:26:41.800 --> 00:26:48.945

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Interesting! I said, I, I have to sit there with a box of kleenex. My wife goes. Will you turn that off?

256

00:26:49.830 --> 00:26:53.000

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Because I love. I love to see people.

257

00:26:54.150 --> 00:26:57.020

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I remember one particular one, this kid

258

00:26:58.630 --> 00:27:06.030

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: he he wanted to. He found the car the 1st car that is, Father God.

259

00:27:07.700 --> 00:27:12.620

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: He found it, had it restored and gave it to his dad

260

00:27:13.150 --> 00:27:15.219

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: the very 1st car his dad ever bought.

261

00:27:15.540 --> 00:27:21.519

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I I remember that I bubble over that because I love to see the goodness of people.

262

00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:32.119

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I mean, I just do. I just love to see the goodness in people, and particularly when it affects the life of other people, lives of other people. I

263

00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:33.640

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I tell you.

264

00:27:34.020 --> 00:27:39.599

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: if if I die tomorrow, I want to be remembered for that part of who I am

265

00:27:40.600 --> 00:27:44.450

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: because I think people are amazing. I really really do mean that

266

00:27:45.330 --> 00:27:48.750

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I thought Hitler was amazing. But for all the wrong reasons. Okay.

267

00:27:50.090 --> 00:27:55.130

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I mean, he was, I mean, but he almost. He almost controlled the entire Europe.

268

00:27:55.450 --> 00:27:59.970

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And and it's as evil as what his motive was. Behind all of that

269

00:28:00.490 --> 00:28:04.700

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: he he almost accomplished something that would have been horrible for the whole world.

270

00:28:05.870 --> 00:28:13.860

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I don't celebrate him, but it. It takes something to do that.

271

00:28:14.840 --> 00:28:19.000

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And I think, for all the wrong reasons. Well, on the other side of all of that is.

272

00:28:20.560 --> 00:28:39.829

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: then there's the people who make the biggest difference, and we remember them because of what they did in the lives of other people for their benefit. I remember my mother said to me, you know you you've manipulated me many times, she said. Have you ever thought about manipulating people for their benefit? And I never forgot those words

273

00:28:40.810 --> 00:28:48.500

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I said, well, mom, I guess what you're telling me is manipulation is a bad thing. He says. Yeah, the way you use it. You can't manipulate your mother.

274

00:28:49.630 --> 00:28:56.960

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: But have you ever thought to do good for somebody else as opposed to what you're doing with me? She she gave me a little speech about all that.

275

00:28:57.180 --> 00:29:01.409

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Well, I never forgot it, you know her. Her comment was.

276

00:29:02.060 --> 00:29:06.000

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: be the bright spot in somebody else's life as opposed to trying to get what you want

277

00:29:06.410 --> 00:29:09.779

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: from somebody. Don't be a taker. I guess that was the bottom line.

278

00:29:10.570 --> 00:29:13.389

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: so I've learned how to not be a taker.

279

00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:17.400

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Anyway, definitely a giver. Jeff definitely a giver.

280

00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:19.294

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Yeah, thank you. I appreciate that.

281

00:29:19.750 --> 00:29:25.989

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Well, so are you. I mean, we go back about gosh, I can't remember how long

282

00:29:26.610 --> 00:29:30.219

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I like how you use the word dev. Did you say devolve.

283

00:29:30.470 --> 00:29:31.790

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Deconverting.

284

00:29:31.790 --> 00:29:36.560

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Deconverting. Okay for me, it just got nutty.

285

00:29:37.150 --> 00:29:43.450

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I I see those kinds of things as the ultimate form of division.

286

00:29:44.010 --> 00:29:49.090

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Guess I felt, and I was feeling like I was getting trapped. And when I just

287

00:29:49.340 --> 00:29:55.300

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I just pushed it all away, and I felt this immediate release.

288

00:29:55.740 --> 00:30:00.780

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: If and it's freedom, it's it's the freedom to think how I want

289

00:30:00.930 --> 00:30:06.370

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: to be responsible. Personal responsibility. I'm a big believer in that. But.

290

00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:07.830

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Me too.

291

00:30:08.740 --> 00:30:30.209

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: The movement was getting to the point of you know everybody had to follow exactly certain standards, and if you deviated, then there was something wrong with you. And and then there was all this infighting, and among different factions of it, it just got to the point of like, who needs all this drama in their life. I thought this was supposed to bring me peace.

292

00:30:31.020 --> 00:30:41.830

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I, I you, you! It wasn't just. The uniformity was that they were all different.

293

00:30:41.970 --> 00:30:49.160

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and if you weren't part of that difference you were excommunicated. I was like this is starting to feel like church.

294

00:30:49.530 --> 00:30:50.330

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: You know.

295

00:30:50.330 --> 00:30:52.870

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: To the point to where I was like I got. I can't do this.

296

00:30:53.420 --> 00:30:53.880

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah.

297

00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:58.079

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: What happened to me, though something happened to me when I was in Greece.

298

00:30:58.410 --> 00:31:02.099

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And I. I was walking down one of the ancient roads.

299

00:31:02.310 --> 00:31:05.010

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And I I begin to see something about

300

00:31:05.660 --> 00:31:08.810

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: based on what the the tour guide was telling us.

301

00:31:09.490 --> 00:31:10.300

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I went.

302

00:31:10.820 --> 00:31:12.180

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: These people are.

303

00:31:12.590 --> 00:31:14.950

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: These people were not different than us

304

00:31:15.830 --> 00:31:19.770

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: that I mean, I'm I'm walking through cities that were made of marble.

305

00:31:19.970 --> 00:31:36.789

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: you know, I mean beautiful. And and then they had the they had the artist rendition of what it would look like at different plaques and whatnot I'm looking at. I'm going. How did they do this, Jill. There were. There was a sarcophagus there. I can't remember where I was. I think it was in Corinth.

306

00:31:38.450 --> 00:31:39.380

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: which was.

307

00:31:40.150 --> 00:31:53.690

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: it was broken, but it was part of a sarcophagus that a person would have been buried in, and I rubbed my hand over the carvings on the marble. I mean, this is as smooth as a baby's rear end. These people were amazing

308

00:31:54.120 --> 00:31:58.699

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and and and yet they had the wars, and they were fighting, and they had

309

00:31:59.260 --> 00:32:24.170

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: human behavior doesn't change. What would happen if we just celebrated one another instead of killed one another? I mean, that's always the platitude that we're all after. But the fact of the matter is especially here in Washington State. I got neighbors, people living next door to each other for 10 years and don't know each other, and I didn't grow up that way. But I thought those people in the ancient world they're just like us. They just lived in a different time.

310

00:32:24.820 --> 00:32:27.060

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: but they have the same stuff.

311

00:32:27.220 --> 00:32:32.010

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: they had the same dislikes. I don't like that person. Well, that person it was just.

312

00:32:32.220 --> 00:32:38.120

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and I went. You know what I'm no different

313

00:32:38.220 --> 00:32:43.160

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: than anyone that has come before me or anyone that's living next to me.

314

00:32:43.470 --> 00:32:48.569

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And I just realized what? What can we appreciate about one another first.st

315

00:32:50.007 --> 00:32:54.890

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And I've I've been that way for most of my. In fact, when I was a child

316

00:32:55.800 --> 00:33:02.959

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I grew up in the ghettos of upstate Rochester, New York, and I learned about racial hatred from black people.

317

00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:10.600

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And I remember thinking as a 1312 year old kid, I don't wanna be like that.

318

00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:14.979

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I don't want to grow up hating people because

319

00:33:15.090 --> 00:33:18.260

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: of some injustice that happened to somebody else.

320

00:33:18.910 --> 00:33:23.240

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and I mean, I I understand and acknowledge the injustices. But

321

00:33:23.450 --> 00:33:28.949

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I can go back 2,000 years and see the same kind of injustice. And I just didn't want to be that person

322

00:33:28.950 --> 00:33:32.600

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: going on. There's injustice everywhere.

323

00:33:32.600 --> 00:33:39.476

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Yep, yeah. I found when it comes to racial prejudice and stuff like that, I went.

324

00:33:40.830 --> 00:33:43.620

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: It's about it's kind of like the same thing, Joe.

325

00:33:43.860 --> 00:33:47.410

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: When I decided that was not going to be a part of who I am.

326

00:33:48.830 --> 00:33:58.510

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: You call me in the name of the book. My freedom doesn't allow that to mess with me, because I'm free in my mind. I don't have to think that way. It's the same thing with my belief.

327

00:33:58.730 --> 00:34:05.989

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I'm free. I interviewed on my podcast a guy who's spent several years learning hypnotism, hypnotism.

328

00:34:06.230 --> 00:34:10.670

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and he did the both there. I went to one of his things and I had the freedom

329

00:34:11.120 --> 00:34:20.070

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: to to say, that's okay. And and I'm learning about frequency, healing, and all kinds of things that are just amazing. And sure enough.

330

00:34:21.010 --> 00:34:27.359

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: a letter popped up, or a notice that popped up on on Facebook. Well, this stuff is from the devil. And I was like.

331

00:34:29.370 --> 00:34:33.840

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I was like, Okay, well, I I don't have to let that impact me anymore.

332

00:34:34.110 --> 00:34:38.710

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Because the guy has helped so many people quit smoking.

333

00:34:38.949 --> 00:34:54.080

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: He's helped so many people with anxiety, and I understand frequency. It's to me it's like, it's like mind blowing. So I'm free to appreciate the things that are there, not what we've done to him to make them bad.

334

00:34:54.590 --> 00:34:56.059

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Yeah, I just.

335

00:34:56.060 --> 00:34:58.539

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: We don't even have to have an opinion about them. We could.

336

00:34:58.540 --> 00:34:58.990

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Right.

337

00:34:59.100 --> 00:35:03.539

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Accept them for what they are. You know, it's like.

338

00:35:05.210 --> 00:35:10.889

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: so often people want to label things because they A don't understand them. And B.

339

00:35:11.570 --> 00:35:19.869

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: If, unless they label it, they don't know where they stand on the situation. You don't have to stand anywhere. You can just let it be.

340

00:35:20.430 --> 00:35:28.769

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: People can have opinions, and you may not agree with them, but you don't have to say anything. You have the freedom to keep your mouth shut sometimes.

341

00:35:29.790 --> 00:35:35.059

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: You know you could be wrong a million ways, but the only person who doesn't know it.

342

00:35:35.310 --> 00:35:36.016

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Where's you?

343

00:35:36.530 --> 00:35:37.270

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Yep.

344

00:35:37.510 --> 00:35:38.260

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yeah.

345

00:35:38.582 --> 00:35:47.609

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: So so. And I, you know I get in trouble sometimes because I'm pretty opinionated. And I sometimes I I put my foot in my mouth.

346

00:35:47.720 --> 00:36:09.360

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: But there are absolutes about me that I'm not going to change because it might be offensive to you. You're in my life, and I'm going to try to appreciate you for who you are and what you are, and I might say something stupid. I might say something really offensive, but when I realize it's really offensive I'll be the 1st person to apologize. Okay.

347

00:36:10.850 --> 00:36:16.179

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: but I like being who I am.

348

00:36:16.680 --> 00:36:20.900

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and you can't step into my life, and tell me that who I am is wrong.

349

00:36:22.100 --> 00:36:22.630

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: You disagree.

350

00:36:22.630 --> 00:36:30.890

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: With me, but you can't tell me that I'm wrong, and that my life is wrong, and that I'm wrong, and you're and and then disconnect from me.

351

00:36:31.200 --> 00:36:35.180

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: because to me that's like, it's like cutting your own.

352

00:36:35.530 --> 00:36:37.850

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: You know, I used to tell people this.

353

00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:43.810

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: if it wasn't for the ability to watch other people walk. I would have never learned how to walk as a child.

354

00:36:45.130 --> 00:36:51.229

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and so I believe the best gift you get in life is almost always gonna come from somebody else.

355

00:36:51.860 --> 00:36:58.599

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and you're either gonna hurt that situation or you're going to brace that situation. I think people are the best teachers

356

00:36:58.780 --> 00:37:01.689

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: of one another. You just have to allow it.

357

00:37:02.140 --> 00:37:05.969

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: There are some absolutes that I absolutely don't deal with.

358

00:37:06.340 --> 00:37:11.380

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: or or, to be honest and to be completely transparent. I hate that word.

359

00:37:12.780 --> 00:37:16.659

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: There are some biases that I have that probably aren't very healthy.

360

00:37:17.270 --> 00:37:17.840

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: -

361

00:37:19.660 --> 00:37:24.370

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: But so is every human being that I can come in contact with. You know what I mean.

362

00:37:24.370 --> 00:37:24.810

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: He does.

363

00:37:25.330 --> 00:37:26.550

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: You know what I mean.

364

00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:27.300

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: So.

365

00:37:27.300 --> 00:37:31.399

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: And it's okay. We don't have to judge one another. We can just appreciate

366

00:37:31.990 --> 00:37:38.320

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: how we are and and how they are and and let it go it.

367

00:37:39.030 --> 00:37:41.099

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: We don't have to have an opinion on it.

368

00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:45.559

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: When you're hurting somebody or you're abusing somebody.

369

00:37:45.810 --> 00:37:53.910

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: then you're gonna get that kind of response. It's not going to be good. But when you're celebrating somebody and helping I find it this way.

370

00:37:54.060 --> 00:38:02.819

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: There's there's when you do something really good for somebody. The the way it flows

371

00:38:03.090 --> 00:38:08.139

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: is just magical. It's like watching a miracle happen in somebody's life

372

00:38:08.340 --> 00:38:13.749

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: when you treat somebody's life horrible, and you treat them bad and whatnot. It's just the opposite.

373

00:38:13.890 --> 00:38:19.600

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: You get to see the negativity that's been fostered. I talked to this person not too long ago

374

00:38:20.050 --> 00:38:29.389

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: yesterday, as a matter of fact, and I said, You know a lot of the stuff you're talking about belongs to the person who inflicted this on you. It's not yours. You don't have to own it.

375

00:38:29.530 --> 00:38:36.340

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: but a lot of people own the abuse and the hurt. And I'm like I told somebody a pastor

376

00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:42.219

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: a while ago, I said, you know you sit here and you talk about the abuse of this individual.

377

00:38:43.630 --> 00:38:46.589

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and I said, you're telling me about his issue.

378

00:38:48.250 --> 00:38:52.189

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and it affected you because you're owning his issue.

379

00:38:53.620 --> 00:38:57.489

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Get rid of it. It doesn't belong to you. It's never! It was never you!

380

00:38:57.780 --> 00:39:00.640

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And he he pulled the truck over.

381

00:39:00.820 --> 00:39:20.380

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Tears come down his eyes. Nobody's ever said that to me. I never really thought about it that way, and I think a lot of it. Sometimes the abuse that we deal with that's forced upon us or inflicted on us. It wasn't your problem, it was their problem. And you have to kind of distinguish how much of that you're going to be invested in.

382

00:39:20.866 --> 00:39:23.430

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: It's again we use the word freedom

383

00:39:23.860 --> 00:39:27.450

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: when when you're free from all that stuff.

384

00:39:27.640 --> 00:39:31.770

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: it just solidifies your individuality. And I think that's wonderful.

385

00:39:32.810 --> 00:39:35.779

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I, when you get to be 65 years of age?

386

00:39:36.708 --> 00:39:41.489

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: People who don't know who they are at 65, certainly in our age group.

387

00:39:44.300 --> 00:39:46.416

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: That's a mystery to me.

388

00:39:48.715 --> 00:39:54.729

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: because, after all the experiences and whatnot, if you're not okay with yourself at 65,

389

00:39:55.270 --> 00:39:57.378

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: it's not getting any better, honey

390

00:39:57.730 --> 00:39:59.710

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: missed the point. You missed the point.

391

00:39:59.850 --> 00:40:06.320

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And I you know the thing is, is when you appreciate people, the world is less impatient.

392

00:40:07.610 --> 00:40:08.290

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Yes.

393

00:40:09.120 --> 00:40:19.219

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And and you you know I I in fact, I had somebody the other day. Was it yesterday or today? That's the other promise. But I don't have your memory.

394

00:40:20.070 --> 00:40:25.640

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: She walked past me with a great big smile on her face, and said, Hello! Which is not common here in Washington State.

395

00:40:26.120 --> 00:40:27.290

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: And I just went.

396

00:40:28.750 --> 00:40:41.649

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: man, I miss that because that's how it was in New York. Everybody spoke to each other when I was growing up here. People walk past you when they get close to you. They put their head down, and I've never, never been used to that.

397

00:40:41.890 --> 00:40:49.379

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: So she had this great big smile on her face, she said, How are you? And I said, Fine, how are you? And we kept moving, and it just

398

00:40:49.980 --> 00:40:53.939

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: somebody wrote this. It was. This isn't for me, but he said.

399

00:40:54.785 --> 00:41:00.999

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I was reading something, and I'm quoting, and I can't remember who it was, he said. A smile is a gift

400

00:41:01.850 --> 00:41:05.320

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: given to you, but meant for someone else.

401

00:41:06.370 --> 00:41:08.300

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and I've never forgot that either.

402

00:41:08.790 --> 00:41:10.279

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I think that's true.

403

00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:16.649

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: A smile is a gift given to you, but met for someone else.

404

00:41:16.910 --> 00:41:24.510

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I think that's that's I just have always thought that was profound. It might, it might not be, but but I thought it was profound. It's stuck with me.

405

00:41:24.510 --> 00:41:32.579

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Profound, too. And I was gonna ask you, what's the one thing you hope the audience takes away from our conversation today? I think that's it.

406

00:41:33.660 --> 00:41:34.440

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Smile.

407

00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:35.880

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: Yeah, I think.

408

00:41:36.940 --> 00:41:45.179

409

00:41:47.700 --> 00:41:51.019

410

00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:58.510

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: My heart is to love people and my spirit.

411

00:41:58.780 --> 00:42:00.320

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: It's to love people.

412

00:42:00.510 --> 00:42:03.849

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: My soul is to love people.

413

00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:08.920

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and that's I guess that's the best way to describe me.

414

00:42:09.110 --> 00:42:13.679

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I'm I'm not an African American. I'm an American citizen.

415

00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:15.193

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I'm not

416

00:42:16.500 --> 00:42:19.000

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: I'm not racially motivated.

417

00:42:21.600 --> 00:42:31.780

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: just appreciate people appreciate. If you look in the mirror folks what I tell myself when I look in the mirror, I try to see my best friend, because the 2 of us have a lot to offer.

418

00:42:31.950 --> 00:42:35.010

Jeff Morton, Buckley, WA: and that that's my final word on the thing.

419

00:42:35.740 --> 00:42:51.890

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: I love that, and you can find out more about Jeff. If you go over to Freefromfearus, and you can reach him at jsmorton@protonmail.com. And I'll put that information in the show notes. And again, his podcast is called

420

421

00:42:56.540 --> 00:42:58.260

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: He'd love, to chat with you.

422

00:42:58.690 --> 00:43:00.720

423

00:43:00.720 --> 00:43:01.400

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist: Thank you. Jeff.
