1 00:00:07,310 --> 00:00:11,120 Well, Hey everybody, Jonathan Doyle with you as always for the daily message. 2 00:00:11,149 --> 00:00:11,930 Hope you're doing well. 3 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,160 Thanks again for. 4 00:00:13,730 --> 00:00:18,620 Dropping by for a little bit of daily encouragement, motivation and inspiration. 5 00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:20,870 These kinds of things that we need to do. 6 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,290 Over and over again, it's just one of those things about being human, 7 00:00:24,290 --> 00:00:28,790 that, uh, inspiration, encouragement, motivation seem to be things that 8 00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:31,189 we need to do on a daily basis. 9 00:00:31,459 --> 00:00:34,550 As the story goes, you don't exercise once in your life and say, 10 00:00:34,550 --> 00:00:35,900 well, that's it I've exercised. 11 00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:37,340 I don't need to do that again. 12 00:00:38,210 --> 00:00:41,360 You know, and brush your teeth once, or have a shower once in life and say, well, 13 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,670 that's done, you do them on a daily basis. 14 00:00:43,670 --> 00:00:48,560 So that's kind of one of the reasons why this little daily podcast exists. 15 00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:50,150 Because I need. 16 00:00:50,660 --> 00:00:51,769 Daily reminders. 17 00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:54,560 I, uh, I need daily encouragement and inspiration. 18 00:00:54,769 --> 00:00:55,670 It's a lifestyle. 19 00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:59,089 I think it's a lifestyle of constantly trying to feed 20 00:00:59,089 --> 00:01:01,339 ourselves with good information. 21 00:01:01,370 --> 00:01:06,110 And, um, you know, for me, this journey of this content over a long period 22 00:01:06,110 --> 00:01:07,970 of time, it isn't about the magical. 23 00:01:08,570 --> 00:01:13,490 Thinking where you just visualize some far distant goal and you 24 00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:15,289 magically attracted into your life. 25 00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:16,460 It's not wishful thinking. 26 00:01:16,460 --> 00:01:17,600 It's not magical thinking. 27 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:17,750 It's. 28 00:01:18,170 --> 00:01:23,000 Basically looking at the great principles of, uh, common sense, practical, personal 29 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,210 development, and just the things we can do to be conscious, to be intentional. 30 00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:28,310 To be awake every day. 31 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,780 To all the things that we do to sabotage ourselves, to hold ourselves back. 32 00:01:33,230 --> 00:01:35,960 Some days we are on our own team and others. 33 00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:38,060 We, the other days we are not on our own teams. 34 00:01:38,060 --> 00:01:43,220 So this whole journey is not about sort of pumping your own tires and a. 35 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,880 Telling yourself, all sorts of stories that you don't even believe 36 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,420 a true, you know, some of those affirmations, you know, that, uh, I'm 37 00:01:50,420 --> 00:01:52,820 attracting into my life and you push. 38 00:01:53,150 --> 00:01:54,080 Hey, maybe it works. 39 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:54,590 Maybe it doesn't. 40 00:01:54,650 --> 00:01:56,150 I've never been one to use it. 41 00:01:56,150 --> 00:01:59,539 So I can't comment, but, uh, I guess what we want to do here. 42 00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:03,410 It's just use good practical insights and common sense for me. 43 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,230 And from a lot of the reading that I do and other amazing 44 00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:07,490 men and women around the world. 45 00:02:08,060 --> 00:02:11,989 Who we're all on this journey with us housekeeping as always, please 46 00:02:11,989 --> 00:02:13,400 make sure you have subscribed. 47 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,290 One of the real joys

to reach more people. 50 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,090 Um, the podcast is not monetized. 51 00:02:26,090 --> 00:02:28,070 It's a, it's just a great way. 52 00:02:28,609 --> 00:02:32,570 For me to feel

00:03:02,120 A version of what I'm talking about today on video, this shorter, I sort 66 00:03:02,150 --> 00:03:04,640 of keep them a little bit shorter, but you can find that content. 67 00:03:04,730 --> 00:03:05,480 It's all in the show notes. 68 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,560 So go check that out today. 69 00:03:07,010 --> 00:03:10,609 We are doing part two in a little series on a gentlemen 70 00:03:10,609 --> 00:03:12,590 called Cameron Hanes cam Hanes. 71 00:03:12,890 --> 00:03:15,050 If you missed yesterday's episode, it was the first time 72 00:03:15,050 --> 00:03:16,130 you've heard me mention his name. 73 00:03:16,130 --> 00:03:17,150 Jump back to yesterday. 74 00:03:17,630 --> 00:03:20,840 Where I introduce them a little bit more deeply and talk about the 75 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,710 concept of obsession of having a magnificent obsession in our lives. 76 00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:28,460 Something that we are deeply passionate about that we sacrifice for, because. 77 00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:30,109 It helps us to grow. 78 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,180 It helps us to contribute and it inspires and encourages the people around us. 79 00:03:35,180 --> 00:03:37,460 So that's why obsession is so important in life. 80 00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:41,240 And yesterday I said that it's my belief that we all have them. 81 00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:41,930 We all have them. 82 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,980 There may be buried, but I do not believe that there are two classes of people 83 00:03:45,980 --> 00:03:47,840 in existence, some who get to have. 84 00:03:48,290 --> 00:03:51,890 Passionate dreams and obsessions and plans, and then some who don't. 85 00:03:51,890 --> 00:03:52,670 So go check that out. 86 00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:55,850 Today we're going into another part of campaigns is work. 87 00:03:55,910 --> 00:04:00,020 Uh, campaigns of course, is the world's greatest living bow hunter. 88 00:04:00,470 --> 00:04:05,810 Ultra distance runner all around athlete, a family man, husband, father. 89 00:04:06,170 --> 00:04:09,170 Holds down a full-time job while doing all this other crazy stuff. 90 00:04:09,170 --> 00:04:12,470 So a really interesting guy and I came across his book endure. 91 00:04:12,890 --> 00:04:13,910 Which I do recommend to you. 92 00:04:13,940 --> 00:04:14,990 It's a fantastic book. 93 00:04:14,990 --> 00:04:16,459 It's had a very big influence on me. 94 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,479 And today I want to share a quote with you and then just speak about it briefly. 95 00:04:21,140 --> 00:04:24,020 He, you know, Kim Hanes is a guy that came from. 96 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,020 You know, from average town USA, he was Mr. 97 00:04:27,020 --> 00:04:28,310 Average, you know, he ended up. 98 00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:31,790 Uh, you know, his father was an alcoholic, his parents were divorced. 99 00:04:31,820 --> 00:04:34,880 Uh, he ended up, uh, you know, leaving her leading a very 100 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,770 basic average mediocre life. 101 00:04:36,770 --> 00:04:38,480 He was working at a cardboard factory. 102 00:04:38,930 --> 00:04:41,090 Cutting up cardboard and stacking piles of it. 103 00:04:41,090 --> 00:04:41,870 Day after day. 104 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,260 Hey, you know, he slowly got into running and different things. 105 00:04:45,260 --> 00:04:48,770 And then eventually one day I got invited to go bow hunting and that 106 00:04:48,770 --> 00:04:52,400 launched his magnificent obsession, which changed the rest of his life. 107 00:04:52,430 --> 00:04:52,640 But. 108 00:04:53,210 --> 00:04:56,180 His journey was really one of overcoming. 109 00:04:56,900 --> 00:04:59,840 The limiting factors in his own life, the things that he'd been 110 00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:04,970 through in his childhood that, uh, you know, a lot of people would allow 111 00:05:05,060 --> 00:05:06,890 to dictate the rest of their life. 112 00:05:06,890 --> 00:05:08,540 And that's the focus of today's episode. 113 00:05:08,540 --> 00:05:09,590 I want to talk about. 114 00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:12,140 The ways in which we can use. 115 00:05:12,590 --> 00:05:13,340 A story. 116 00:05:14,270 --> 00:05:15,980 Uh, wounds and our weaknesses. 117 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,050 Uh, childhood stories to limit where we are, because it is as 118 00:05:21,050 --> 00:05:24,410 awkward and as uncomfortable it is to say, as it is for me to say this 119 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,560 many people do allow their past. 120 00:05:28,190 --> 00:05:29,540 To very much. 121 00:05:29,570 --> 00:05:33,650 I prescribe their present and dictate their future. 122 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,610 They allow their past to prescribe their present and dictate their future. 123 00:05:37,610 --> 00:05:40,130 So I want to give you this quote here from cam Hanes. 124 00:05:40,130 --> 00:05:43,550 Some page 19 of his book in journey says these exact words. 125 00:05:43,550 --> 00:05:47,420 He says, it's easy to use your childhood as a crutch. 126 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,270 Instead of seeing it as a chisel. 127 00:05:51,470 --> 00:05:52,610 There are so many crutches. 128 00:05:52,610 --> 00:05:56,540 People want to use to justify themselves, but for me, you have to 129 00:05:56,540 --> 00:05:58,970 eliminate every single one of them. 130 00:05:59,510 --> 00:06:03,740 Get rid of all of them, then tell yourself it's up to you. 131 00:06:04,310 --> 00:06:08,240 What are you going to do now that you've let go of those crutches? 132 00:06:09,620 --> 00:06:11,990 So my friend, there is a lot in this. 133 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,830 Uh, it's a little controversial and I think it makes people 134 00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:17,060 uncomfortable because. 135 00:06:17,810 --> 00:06:22,820 I've argued many times in the podcast that we live in an extremely therapeutic age. 136 00:06:23,390 --> 00:06:23,840 I do not. 137 00:06:24,140 --> 00:06:26,600 Uh, doubt for a second, that there's many good therapists and 138 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,290 counselors who genuinely seek to make a difference in people's lives. 139 00:06:30,830 --> 00:06:35,810 But I also have felt that there is a kind of a therapeutic industry, whether 140 00:06:35,810 --> 00:06:39,800 it's in terms of, you know, the, the therapeutic medication of people. 141 00:06:40,340 --> 00:06:45,530 With, um, you know, Uh, mental trauma and past trauma, or whether it's the 142 00:06:45,530 --> 00:06:47,450 wider therapeutic index industry. 143 00:06:48,110 --> 00:06:48,470 Where. 144 00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:52,340 It's become a kind of go-to that, that when we deal with suffering and 145 00:06:52,340 --> 00:06:55,010 hardship, we automatically pursue therapy. 146 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:55,970 I don't want to be sensible here. 147 00:06:55,970 --> 00:06:57,890 I don't want to say that there's no place for it. 148 00:06:58,430 --> 00:06:59,870 I've just observed that. 149 00:07:00,650 --> 00:07:06,440 It can be a place where we rehash and replay and rehearse. 150 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,060 A story about our backgrounds without often moving forward. 151 00:07:11,060 --> 00:07:14,120 Now I know, again, there are great therapists that would dispute that, 152 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,730 and there are practical things that they do that do help people, but. 153 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,240 My concern is that sometimes we can get so good. 154 00:07:20,750 --> 00:07:26,030 At delineating and articulating all of our negative past experiences 155 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,450 that we allow those negative past experiences to dictate. 156 00:07:29,990 --> 00:07:31,460 Our experience of our present. 157 00:07:31,460 --> 00:07:32,630 We take on a story. 158 00:07:32,630 --> 00:07:33,830 We take on a persona. 159 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,870 Such as X happened to me when I was 5, 10, 15, whatever. 160 00:07:38,930 --> 00:07:42,710 And because this happened to me, therefore, this it's very, 161 00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:44,810 um, it's very deterministic. 162 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,980 It's very, it has shoes that, you know, that whatever happened to us in the 163 00:07:48,980 --> 00:07:51,320 past is going to remain semipermanent. 164 00:07:51,860 --> 00:07:53,030 And there's a few reasons. 165 00:07:53,030 --> 00:07:54,020 I think it's problematic. 166 00:07:54,020 --> 00:07:57,650 One is that we see throughout history, vast numbers of amazing men and 167 00:07:57,650 --> 00:07:59,810 women who come from extreme trauma. 168 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,130 And extreme suffering to make something magnificent of their lives. 169 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,240 So for the first obvious point, Is it about past we're truly 170 00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:11,990 deterministic, truly prescriptive of our present and future. 171 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,940 Then you just wouldn't see that you would see kind of a, an algebraic equation, 172 00:08:16,940 --> 00:08:21,590 you know, X equals Y where if you come from X, then automatically Y will happen. 173 00:08:21,590 --> 00:08:22,610 But we don't see that. 174 00:08:23,210 --> 00:08:25,040 What we see is men and women often. 175 00:08:25,580 --> 00:08:29,570 Transcending their history to do something extraordinary with their lives. 176 00:08:29,570 --> 00:08:33,169 And that's why cam Hayne says here, it's easy to use your childhood as a 177 00:08:33,169 --> 00:08:36,230 crutch instead of seeing it as a chisel. 178 00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:37,309 I like that metaphor. 179 00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:40,909 That, um, what if the difficulties and the pains and the 180 00:08:40,909 --> 00:08:42,559 sufferings that we went through? 181 00:08:43,099 --> 00:08:46,129 We're not so much a crutch that we were meant to use for the rest of our lives, 182 00:08:46,129 --> 00:08:49,699 but actually we're a kind of chisel that shaped and formed our characters. 183 00:08:49,729 --> 00:08:51,109 Now we would never have chosen it. 184 00:08:51,139 --> 00:08:52,550 We would never go looking for it. 185 00:08:53,060 --> 00:08:55,189 And I don't diminish for a second, the terrible things 186 00:08:55,189 --> 00:08:56,749 that can happen to all of this. 187 00:08:56,869 --> 00:08:58,550 Um, as, as younger people. 188 00:08:59,029 --> 00:09:00,949 And yeah, of course, you know, we've, we've got to do everything 189 00:09:00,949 --> 00:09:04,009 we can to limit that in our society, you know, in a healthy culture. 190 00:09:04,969 --> 00:09:09,319 But what if some of the rejections, the failures, the setbacks, the 191 00:09:09,469 --> 00:09:11,269 hurtful things that happened to us? 192 00:09:11,479 --> 00:09:13,699 Also a kind of chisel. 193 00:09:14,269 --> 00:09:16,670 That has shaped us into the people that we've become. 194 00:09:17,180 --> 00:09:20,719 And what of, instead of seeing all of the suffering as purely negative, what if it 195 00:09:20,749 --> 00:09:23,209 was in some sense, empowering some sense. 196 00:09:23,209 --> 00:09:24,410 It had prepared us. 197 00:09:24,829 --> 00:09:27,199 For future success and future glory. 198 00:09:27,199 --> 00:09:27,709 So he goes. 199 00:09:28,339 --> 00:09:29,540 You know, repeat his quote. 200 00:09:29,689 --> 00:09:33,019 He says there's so many crutches people want to use to justify themselves. 201 00:09:33,019 --> 00:09:35,269 And I think that's a really important insight is that. 202 00:09:35,899 --> 00:09:38,959 If your results are terrible, then we, you know, in life. 203 00:09:38,989 --> 00:09:42,979 And if you're going through all this repeated patterns of dysfunction, 204 00:09:43,609 --> 00:09:46,310 Then we do want to look for a reason don't we, I mean, we 205 00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:49,459 either go into avoidance drug and alcohol, other forms of addiction. 206 00:09:49,459 --> 00:09:51,589 We also want to avoid the reality of where we are. 207 00:09:52,099 --> 00:09:54,739 Well, we going to blame, and I've said this for years on the show. 208 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,579 That blame or avoidance tend to be the dominant patterns. 209 00:09:59,149 --> 00:10:01,069 When people do not want to really move forward. 210 00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:03,170 Because moving forward is painful. 211 00:10:03,290 --> 00:10:06,619 Integrating your past, integrating your pain is painful. 212 00:10:07,009 --> 00:10:08,779 So often we want to avoid it. 213 00:10:08,779 --> 00:10:12,319 But what he's saying to us here is what, if you have to just throw the crutches 214 00:10:12,319 --> 00:10:15,529 away, what if at some point in our lives, we have to say, yep, that happened. 215 00:10:15,889 --> 00:10:16,699 That's what it was. 216 00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:19,339 You know, I wouldn't have wished that on anybody, but it happened. 217 00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:24,290 And it was horrible, but I can choose an empowering meaning from that. 218 00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:25,939 And I can go forward from here. 219 00:10:26,689 --> 00:10:28,819 You know, he was really driven by his own father who was. 220 00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:33,139 Very very gifted athlete, but became an alcoholic pretty early in life. 221 00:10:33,170 --> 00:10:36,379 And there's a line here on the same page where cam Hanes is 222 00:10:36,379 --> 00:10:37,579 talking about his own father. 223 00:10:37,579 --> 00:10:41,029 And he said he had a lot of potential that he never got to take advantage of. 224 00:10:41,599 --> 00:10:44,509 Because of drinking in the prime of his athletic life. 225 00:10:45,439 --> 00:10:49,310 So you can see here that, um, you know, Cam's looking into his own father's 226 00:10:49,310 --> 00:10:52,579 background and seeing this limitation, this limiting story that really 227 00:10:52,579 --> 00:10:55,759 held his father back and obviously impacted Cameron when he was younger, 228 00:10:55,759 --> 00:10:57,649 obviously really shaped his perception. 229 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,560 So, does anybody want an alcoholic parent? 230 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:02,930 Does anybody want to sign up for that and think it's a good thing? 231 00:11:02,989 --> 00:11:03,469 No. 232 00:11:04,189 --> 00:11:08,209 But you can see in cam Hanes his story, that he's able to look into that past. 233 00:11:08,899 --> 00:11:11,899 And make a series of decisions about his future based on 234 00:11:11,899 --> 00:11:13,459 the pain of that experience. 235 00:11:14,239 --> 00:11:18,019 So again, we're back to this sort of process of empowering meaning we're 236 00:11:18,019 --> 00:11:22,009 back to this process of no matter what happens to us, we can find. 237 00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:27,259 And impairing meaning we can take it as a chisel rather than as a crutch. 238 00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:30,949 So I don't know about you, my friend, but I just think we're in this cultural 239 00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:36,170 moment of, you know, Uh, victim mentality of, of massive power differentials 240 00:11:36,170 --> 00:11:41,060 between different groups were claiming some form of victim status is a 241 00:11:41,060 --> 00:11:43,790 way to advance oneself rather than. 242 00:11:44,540 --> 00:11:48,019 Acknowledging our past acknowledging the difficulties that we've all faced. 243 00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:50,479 And then saying, what if this made me tough? 244 00:11:51,019 --> 00:11:52,609 What if this made me compassionate? 245 00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:54,109 What did this make me courageous? 246 00:11:54,109 --> 00:11:55,069 What if this made me. 247 00:11:55,069 --> 00:11:58,399 Uh, you know, a parent 10 times better than what I grew up with. 248 00:11:58,399 --> 00:11:58,969 What is this? 249 00:11:59,269 --> 00:12:00,709 Yes, I may have come from. 250 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,670 You know, relationship breakdowns, but what if I go on to take all that 251 00:12:04,670 --> 00:12:08,779 pain and work incredibly hard on successful relationships of my own. 252 00:12:09,349 --> 00:12:14,660 So it really comes down to how we find a meaning to move and move forward. 253 00:12:15,139 --> 00:12:18,079 You know, and, and really no matter what we've been through. 254 00:12:18,769 --> 00:12:21,109 And many of you would know who've met me personally. 255 00:12:21,170 --> 00:12:25,759 You know, know that, uh, my own backstory is very much full of some of that 256 00:12:25,759 --> 00:12:28,430 pain and challenge and suffering and. 257 00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:32,810 You know, at times for me, it's been a very difficult ride and I've had to learn. 258 00:12:32,810 --> 00:12:36,259 I've had to learn through a great deal of suffering over a long period of 259 00:12:36,259 --> 00:12:40,939 time to choose different meanings, to begin, to be mentally disciplined and 260 00:12:40,999 --> 00:12:43,160 take control of what I actually think. 261 00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:47,239 And allow my thinking to be more productive and effective in my own life. 262 00:12:47,239 --> 00:12:48,589 So friends that's it for today. 263 00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:50,749 Let me know what you think. 264 00:12:50,749 --> 00:12:51,019 Right. 265 00:12:51,050 --> 00:12:52,609 So please. 266 00:12:53,329 --> 00:12:56,119 You can email me@jonathanatjonathandoyle.co. 267 00:12:56,149 --> 00:12:58,910 You can jump across to the YouTube version and leave a comment on this. 268 00:12:58,910 --> 00:13:00,469 If you think it's absolutely crazy. 269 00:13:00,889 --> 00:13:04,369 Um, but I'd love to know what you think on the difference between crutches 270 00:13:04,369 --> 00:13:06,739 and chisels and what happens in life. 271 00:13:06,739 --> 00:13:09,889 When we throw those crutches away, we throw those stories away. 272 00:13:10,369 --> 00:13:12,109 We take radical ownership. 273 00:13:12,109 --> 00:13:16,069 We take real responsibility for our lives and for their direction. 274 00:13:16,849 --> 00:13:18,109 Yeah, it's an impairing moment. 275 00:13:18,109 --> 00:13:18,439 Really? 276 00:13:18,439 --> 00:13:20,569 When you actually can look back at your past. 277 00:13:20,930 --> 00:13:23,149 And, you know, nothing's wasted you often, you look at that 278 00:13:23,149 --> 00:13:24,560 movie, the prince of Egypt, right. 279 00:13:24,619 --> 00:13:26,540 You know, the old animated, maybe a kid's movie. 280 00:13:27,139 --> 00:13:30,979 Telling the story of Moses coming out of Egypt and you see that. 281 00:13:31,459 --> 00:13:35,209 All is, you know, that all of his life, both his early life and its 282 00:13:35,209 --> 00:13:37,579 successes and then his kind of exile. 283 00:13:37,939 --> 00:13:40,790 All of it ends up becoming really useful. 284 00:13:41,509 --> 00:13:42,769 At the peak of his life. 285 00:13:43,249 --> 00:13:44,540 So don't discount that. 286 00:13:44,629 --> 00:13:46,160 You know, some of what you've lived through. 287 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,060 Some of the pain that you've lived through may still have a powerful, 288 00:13:50,060 --> 00:13:52,969 powerful impact in the years ahead. 289 00:13:53,540 --> 00:13:58,069 If you can find a meaning, if you can, you know, If you can find a way to 290 00:13:58,069 --> 00:14:01,430 tell a richer story about what you've come from and where you're heading. 291 00:14:01,699 --> 00:14:02,029 All right. 292 00:14:02,540 --> 00:14:03,439 I hope that's useful. 293 00:14:03,439 --> 00:14:04,969 Please make sure you've subscribed. 294 00:14:04,999 --> 00:14:06,529 Go check out all the links in the show notes. 295
