All systems are going. Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Van Blit! Oh, it is so good to see you, my friends. Welcome back to another audio adventure on Insight. I'm CVV, Chris Van Fleet, but I'm guessing you already knew that because the title of this episode is AskCV. This is the first edition of AskCV,

and it's really as simple as it sounds. I'm going to be answering the questions that you guys sent in on Twitter, on Facebook, on Instagram, on YouTube, using that hashtag CVV. So we're really, we're covering the gamut here of all kinds of questions, personal, professional, all kinds of stuff here. So if there's a question that you want answered on the next one of these, because we're planning on doing this every month.

So I figured, why start till 2023? Why start till January to begin this new tradition? And I think that that's always, I mean, we'll probably get into this during this episode, but that's a thing I think a lot of people do. It's a big mistake that a lot of people make where it's like, well, I'll do that thing in the new year. When January rolls around, I'll start eating better. When January comes around, I'll start working out. It's like, why not start today?

I saw this great tweet that said, there's, like, everyone's writing off the rest of 2022. And it's like, no, there's still 6% of the year left. Do you just like take December off and then, you know, dive into January and go, well, you know, December didn't really count. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. So I figured why not start this now? So if there's something that you want answered on the next edition of AskCV, just tweet it with the hashtag Ask CVV, and who knows?

Maybe it'll be included in the January episode or maybe the February episode. Before we dive into this, I want to read out a review that was left on Apple podcast by Evelyn 7779. As I've mentioned before, it's my way of saying thank you for being part of the show. Thank you for leaving a review. So it's my small way to say thank you. So this review says, fantastic. I'm so glad that I found this podcast. I've listened to every episode and I love each and every one. Wow. Chris Van Fleet is just awesome. That is very kind. So in addition to the people who are getting their name and their question read out here on the Ask CVV episode, if you want to shout out, just leave a review

on Apple Podcast. It's as simple as that. If you happen to be listening on Spotify, It'd be awesome if you could just leave a quick rating on there. It literally takes two seconds to just go in, click the stars, and that's it. I think we have almost 1,100 ratings on Spotify. It's crazy. So thank you. Thank you guys so much. All right.

Where do we begin here? There's been so many questions. I'm going to try to answer as many of these as possible. The first one comes from FX.com on Twitter who says, what's the best piece of advice that you've gotten through your entrepreneurial journey, either from a guest, mentor, or somewhere else? Well, thank you for the question. Man, I feel like there's so many different pieces of advice,

and it's hard to narrow it down to just one piece of advice. So I'll go with a few pieces that I've got here. And I did an episode about it a few weeks ago, and you probably heard me talk about it. but John Sina saying to me, control the controllable has really been a big one that has shaped my life in so many ways because it's so easy to wake up every day and focus on all the things that you don't have in your life. But I like to remind myself that we've got both the good things and the bad things in every single day. And it's up to you, which ones you want to focus on.

So John Sina saying to me, control the controllable really meant a lot because you don't have control over what other people say or what other people do. But what you do have control over is how you want to react to the things that other people say and other people do. So that's a really big one for me. Tyler Perry also just like straight up, looked me in the eyes and asked me, what would you be doing right now if you knew you couldn't fail? And that's not really a piece of advice, but it's just a way of thinking about things that I never really thought about things at a way before. Like, I think a lot of people go into situations and they're scared.

They're nervous. They think about the worst case scenario here. And he's basically saying, what would you do? What would you change if you knew you couldn't fail? And I actually don't think that failure is a thing that exists. I think it's that the idea that it's you either win or you learn. So it's not win or lose. It's not you succeed or fail.

It's you either win or you learn. You either win. in and you go on to the next level or it doesn't quite go the way that you think it should have gone and you go, all right, cool, I'll learn from that. And now I'm a better person because of it. So I would say those are two big pieces. And I think another one is just to swing for the fences. Swing for the fences. Because if you don't, if you don't take those chances, those wild chances in life, you're never going to get anywhere. So I'd say that those are a few there off the time my head. I haven't looked at these questions yet. These were all, you know, kind of compiled together,

and now I'm just going through them now. So this is fun. So fx.com, thank you for that question. The next one's from Jazzy underscore Bella O2 on Twitter, who says, besides John Cena and the Rock, who's your most favorite person that you've interviewed? There are so many. I feel like there's so, there's so many. I did one recently with George Clooney. And he's just like effortly charismatic. and he's effortlessly kind and funny. And that was one of those where you just sit back and you go, man, this person's just so good at everything that they do. So I think that was a really fun one just because he's like having the best time.

And I think that sometimes you interview people and they don't really want to be there or they feel like contractually obligated to be doing this interview while they're promoting a film or an album or a book or whatever. it happens to be a tour. And George Clooney just, like, makes the best of it. It has so, so much fun. So that was one that I really enjoyed. Hugh Jackman also falls into that same category. Like, Hugh Jackman just has this, like, insane energy level.

And you walk into the room and, like, your energy level just immediately, like, jumps up to match what his energy level is. And he's thoughtful in his answers, and he plays along and he's fun. so yeah that's another one and then you know the rock was and i always talk about how the rock's my favorite person than i've ever interviewed i've interviewed him you know 10 times not that i'm counting or anything like that and you know you probably heard the many reasons why i i love talking to the rock because he he makes you feel seen he understands he's self-aware enough to know that you know it's a big moment you're going to probably tell people about maybe you'll even tell them on a podcast

like this, right? And he turns the moment around to include you in that moment. It's something that's so, so special. So The Rock was number one of my list of people that I wanted to interview 10 years ago before I had interviewed him for the first time. And then after that was Tom Cruise. So after I had interviewed The Rock, Tom Cruise was next on that list. And I was so fortunate to be able to interview Tom Cruise in Paris in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. It's the red carpet world premiere for Mission Impossible Fallout. So to be able to interview him in that setting, and I don't know if you've seen the photo or not,

I'll post it on my website so you can see it with this episode, so you can see what I'm talking about. But it's, you know, we're standing there, red carpet behind us, we're wearing tuxedos and suits and the Eiffel towers right there. So that was just such a cool moment. And I firmly believe that movie stars don't really exist anymore.

Like the model that used to exist in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s of like, you would go to the movies to see a movie star and you didn't really matter what the movie was about. I think that's changed and shifted a lot. Maybe that's a topic for another podcast episode, but Tom Cruise is like the last remaining movie star where you go, that's a Tom Cruise movie. And I know that he's going to give his all in this movie and he's going to do some sort of crazy stunt. I'm going to go see this thing. So it was really cool to be able to spend some time with him. It was like three minute interview, but to spend some time with him. And he was just so incredibly present in that moment. I mean, we're talking

about thousands of screaming fans and reporters everywhere and cameras clicking. And he was standing there looking me dead in the eyes and having a conversation like I was the only person that existed on Earth. And that was a really, really interesting thing. So thank you for the question. Jazzy underscore Bella O2. This one's from Ted on Instagram who says, what is one part of your morning routine that you can't live without? that's hard to narrow down to just one, but I think the biggest one for me is before I do anything else in my day, I drink a ton of water. Like I drink like a quarter of a gallon of water before I even like get out of bed. I'm not like, I think I feel like you're envisioning me now like laying in bed like, you know, pouring water in my mouth.

I get up and I, you know, it's on my nightstand. So I get up and I'm sitting on the edge of my bed. So before I even get out of bed, I'm sitting on the corner of my bed and I drink like 32 ounces of water, like a quarter of a gallon of water. And the idea there is you haven't drank water in, you know, seven, eight, nine, ten hours at this point. It just kind of gets everything rehydrated because you had no water the whole time that you were asleep. Probably didn't have water right before going to bed or else you were probably peeing in the middle of night. And it just kind of gets everything flowing. It kind of flushes out everything that happened the night before.

So that's been a really big part of my morning routine. And gratitude. You know, you know that I end every episode asking my guests, what are three things they're grateful for? And that's something that I do, you know, first thing in the morning, I say out loud three things that I'm grateful for. Today was way more than three. And I mean, why not? Why not be grateful for all the things that you have in your life? But, yeah, I think that that's a really important practice to get into.

is focusing on the great things that you have in your life instead of trying to focus on the things that you don't have in your life. So for me today, it was so grateful for my health, so grateful for my fiance, Rachel, and she's just such an incredible person, an incredible partner, and so grateful for our baby that's on the way, a little baby girl. So in May of next year, she will be with us in the world. So that's crazy. So that was just, three things. I ended up going on with many other things. My family, health of my family, my parents, that they're still together. And they've been such just an amazing support system for me and us. So anyway, that's the most important part of my morning routine is hydration and also gratitude.

And then it's followed by going to the gym and cold showers or cold plunges. And I mean, if you heard the episode about cold plunging with the CEO of Plunge, Ryan Doe, you know, all of the benefits of cold plunging and how good that is for you. So there we go. That's just like a quick little snippet of my morning routine. Maybe we'll do a whole episode about my morning routine, but there's the most important things there. So thank you for the question, Ted. Tom talks rubbish on Twitter says, sometimes I get really nervous before interviews to the point where I have to cancel them.

Any advice on this subject? Well, I would say, Tom, the first thing is if you've made a commitment to somebody that you need to keep you're part of that commitment. I'm a big, big person when it comes to your word is your bond. So if you're saying to someone, I will be somewhere at a certain time, you better be there because you said that you were going to be there. And I know that you might have nerves that you're dealing with. I know that it may be, it may feel overwhelming, but I think that the, I love this quote that it doesn't take talent to show up on time and hustle. And I'm a firm believer that if you say you're going to be somewhere, you better be there. So that's the first part

about it. The second part about it is being really nervous before interviews. I just think the most important thing is stop thinking about them as interviews. Just think about them as conversations with people. So like, you know, if you were to bump into someone at the grocery store, if you were to go out and have a beer with somebody tonight or have lunch with somebody, you probably wouldn't be thinking about like the ins and outs of the conversation of like, all right, so I'm going to ask this and then hopefully they're going to say this, and then the next thing I'm going to say is this. And then after that,

we would just kind of flow with the conversation. And I think that a lot of times people think of interviews with a capital I. Like it's this big, scary thing because in your regular everyday life, you're not really having interviews, right? Like, think about it. In your regular normal life,

an interview is what, a job interview? Maybe a police interview. But you don't ever think about the interactions between two humans as an interview. You think about it as just a conversation. So I would say start to reframe that in your mind that they're not interviews. They're just, they're conversations between two people. Sure, you might be asking a lot more of the questions and, you know, they're going to be

answering a lot more of the questions. But I would say that just approach it in the same way that you would approach any other conversation that you're having. Obviously, you've done a ton of research. You've thought up some great questions. but they're just a person, just like you are. And they put their pants on one leg at a time. You know, they brush their teeth.

They do all the things. They go to the bathroom. They do all those same things that any other person does. So I think that just think of it as just a conversation with another person and just allow it to flow. So here you go. Tom, thank you for your question. And hopefully that helped a little bit.

Josh on Instagram says, would you ever consider writing a book? That's a really good question. And I feel like you've been in my mind here. I feel like you've tapped into my brain as you're asking this question because I've been thinking about writing a book for the last probably year or so,

maybe a little bit over a year. Not a book about my life, not a book about, you know, the kid from Pickering, Ontario, Canada, who moves to the United States and has a YouTube channel and hosts a TV show, but more of just a book about the things that I've learned.

And maybe some of these things I've learned, maybe even some of the things that we're talking about on this episode here could help you. So, yes, I've been thinking about writing a book. I put that podcast, I put a podcast episode out probably, you know, the summer this year, and I titled it, What the F are you waiting for? And I got more feedback on that episode,

more than any other episode I've ever done, done more than any other solo episode more than any interview with i mean think of who we've had on the show this year more than any interview with the rock or mike myers or adam sandler or margot roby or any of those people because i think there's that idea of like you want to do something great in your life i know that you do and the thing that's standing between you and doing that great thing is you and the question i would ask is what the F are you waiting for? What is it? What is standing in the way of you doing the thing that you want to do? And that really resonated with a lot of people. So I think that we're on to something. It's clearly a subject that hits home for a lot of people. And I think it might be that,

you know, kind of kick in the ass that some people need. Even if you don't read the book, if you buy the book and it sits on your coffee table and you're looking at this every single day and it's like in your face, what the F are you waiting for? You might start thinking to yourself, what am I waiting for? People always ask, like, well, what can I do to start a podcast, a YouTube channel? What can I do to, you know, grow more on TikTok or whatever it happens to be? And I usually tell people, well, you've got to start. Like, instead of just thinking about it and talking about it, you have to start.

You have to put one foot in front of the other. Like, if you want to run a marathon, you've got to take the first step. You've got to cross the start line before you can get to the finish line. So I think that that's a, that might be, Josh, great question. It may be, this may be like the seed of a book that we have, maybe coming out a year. I just need to know from you guys if you're listening to this. When you buy a book like that? Let me know.

All right, this next one's from Mike Wexler. This was on Instagram. Who you may know is Sock Monkey Mike. I was recently a guest at his podcast a handful of months ago. So go check that out. He recently graduated from university and asks me, what's your advice on the next step after graduating from university? Well, first of all, congratulations. Congratulations on graduating.

I would say the next step is just know that you have time. And I know that there's a lot of pressure. Maybe some pressure you're putting on yourself. Maybe it's seeing all your friends, getting jobs. Maybe it's the pressure that's been put on you by your family. But just know that you have time. Okay, there's no rush to dive into a job or a career that maybe won't feel fulfilling to you. So I would say, you know what you want to do.

I know Mike. Mike, I know that you're passionate about broadcasting. I know that you're passionate about pro wrestling. And you're doing a lot of those things in that space. So I would say that if this is something that you do want to make a career out of, I would say you're doing so much of it already. Continue to lean into that stuff. I mean, I don't know if what I did when I graduated from college still applies as much now

because I graduated before there was YouTube, before there was Facebook, Instagram wasn't invented for many years later. I just reached out to every TV station and every radio station in my college town. And I was just super honest with him. I reached out and said, I'm passionate about broadcasting. Can I come in and just volunteer and see how it's done in the real world? And I got a lot of knows. I got a lot of no responses, but all it takes is one, right? And I got a radio station that said, sure, come be part of our street team. There was also a community run television station that said, sure, yes, come on in. You can volunteer here. And I got to do so many incredible things behind the scenes there. I ran cameras. I was a floor director. I did audio. I did VTR. I learned all

the ins and outs of how a TV station works and how a TV show works. So I would say, now that you've got some time and you don't have to worry about getting your assignments in or studying for exams or things like that, double down on that. The thing that you have right now, the value that you bring right now is your time. So I would say try to trade your time for those experiences. Don't be afraid to work for free. Don't be afraid to take an internship. Don't be afraid to volunteer because, sure, you're not getting paid in money, but you're getting paid in experience that is 100% priceless.

So I'm excited to see what's next for you. Get after it. So thanks for the question, Mike. This one's from Omar L. 13. He says, what's your guilty pleasure song? That's my. This is so embarrassing to admit. But remember, do you remember LFO?

We're talking 1999, the song Summer Girls. Summertime girls are the kind of like steal your honey like I stole your bike. You know that song? That's the guilty pleasure. I know every word from that song, new kids on the block had a bunch of hits. Chinese food makes me sick. If you've never heard that song or it came out before you were born, go check it out. LFO, Summer Girls.

That is the embarrassing Guilty Pleasure song. Runner up to I Want It That Way, which is my go-to karaoke song. Oh man. Get a few tequilas in me. Woo! It's a good thing to see.

So thanks Omar for the question. Hey, it's Zulky. This is on Instagram. Favorite movie of 2022? It's been a good year for movie. It's also so exciting that this was the year when like we went back to the movie theaters and we were able to see things the way that they are truly intended to be seen. Like that's the way that they're filmed for us to watch them on the biggest screen possible.

And for me, I mean, there's been so many great films this year. And I'm fortunate that I get to see a lot of them before they come out as a voting member of the Critics Choice Association. So it's tough because there's been so many good ones. but my favorite movie this year is Top Gun Maverick. So, so good. Like, that is the reason that we go to the movies. Tom Cruise, so good in it.

The storyline, so good. The whole Val Kilmer arc there. I don't want to give too much away if you haven't seen it. Really, really good. And I've seen the movie a handful of times, and I was so fortunate to see it on an IMAX screen, like, weeks before it came out, and I was just like, I mean, I went into it going, yeah, I hope this is good.

obviously the first Top Gun movie is amazing and iconic classic film but I left the theater going I hate to say it I hate to say it but I think I like that movie more than the first one and it's true that definitely holds true now however many months six months later now so top gun maverick highly recommended if you haven't seen it go see it if you have seen it go see it again so thanks for the question Paul the Fonz said how do you approach an interview where you don't hear about the subject? That's a really interesting question. I will say that I've never found myself in that situation before because every person that you talk to from any different walk of life, whether they're an actor,

an athlete, a pro wrestler, comedian, an entrepreneur, everybody has a story. So as soon as I start diving into the story and figuring out different things about their life, I'm like immediately intrigued. And I like start thinking at questions like instantly. So I've never had a situation where I don't care about the subject. I mean, I've definitely done interviews where I didn't love the movie. But I also understand the process of making a movie is like incredibly difficult. it's writing a script having the script you know rewritten and then selling the movie and then getting the movie produced and you know directing it and casting it all that like there's so many moving parts to a movie that you know it's it's so unfortunate that you know we go and see a movie

and it's 90 minutes long or two hours long and you leave going oh didn't like it and you never think about it again and it's like ah i just feel i feel for the people who've made that film because there was years of so much hard work that went into it for people to just go, yeah, well, that sucked. So I like to just look at it of the, you know, the project as an art form. And like, I love diving into that. And I love looking at a person's full scope of their journey. And I think that we can learn something from everybody, like absolutely everybody.

You can learn something from anybody that you run into in your everyday life. And I think that when you start to be curious about things, that's when it really changes. So thank you, Paul, for the question. This one's from Hugh Finley. You have any advice for growing or starting a YouTube channel or a podcast venture? I would say, if you're already at this point, Hugh, and thank you for the question. If you're already at the point where you're thinking about this, I'd say go for for it. And it kind of goes back to the title of the book, right? What are you waiting for? Like,

what is it? Just start. I think it's important to take that phone out and either hit record on a video or hit record on audio and just go with it. And don't look, don't worry about looking at views for the first handful of months. Just go out and start getting comfortable on camera, start getting comfortable with the way that your voice sounds because, yeah, yes, that is actually how it sounds. It's like when you first hear your voice on a voicemail. You're like, oh, man, do it really sound like that? Yeah, you really sound like that. That's how the rest of the world hears you.

Now, you need to get used to that. And you also need to get used to, yeah, that's what you look like on camera. So I would say lean into the things that you love, lean into the things that you're passionate about. And, you know, we live in a world with 8 billion people. So there's a pretty good chance that you'll be able to find your tribe. You'll be able to find your group of people who are also passionate about those same things. And it's going to start off small and don't get discouraged. I think that's the biggest thing that happens, especially with podcasts,

is you put so much time into making these episodes. And you look at the download numbers for the first few episodes and you go, oh, man, nobody's listening to this. I don't even know if people know this exists. if you're passionate about it and you love the process of doing it, stick with it. And I think that that's a really big thing. Pod fade is a real thing that happens.

It's a term they, they come up with for people who start podcasts, and then I think it's like seven episodes. Just kind of fade out, stop, and then never put out another episode. If you like the process, the whole process, everything that goes into it, then you can't lose.

So I would say, just start just begin and maybe maybe you can be like one of those people who wants to make it like a new year's resolution thing even though i really don't believe in new year's resolutions but make it a january first thing and then stick to a schedule i guess another really big part of especially if we're talking about podcasting stick to a schedule i'm going to put out one podcast a week every wednesday or every thursday whatever it happens to be and then stick to that schedule number one because you said you were going to do it you said you were going to put a podcast out of every Wednesday. So now you're being true to your word. And number two, it holds you accountable.

So I would say, do that. And also find somebody in this space that's doing the thing that you want to do and that's like just absolutely crushing it in the niche that you love. And then take little bits from them. Tony Robbins always says success leaves clues. So take little bits and pieces of them and make it your own. So Hugh, I can't wait to hear your podcast or see your YouTube channel. Hit me up when that comes out. And then we got Alan Higgins 1. This is the final question here. Wow. I think we did, it looks like 11 questions here.

We'll get to the rest on Ask CVV episode number two. But Alan Higgins number one says, how are you feeling since you're about to be a father? It's hard to sum up in just like a few sentences because I feel like I felt every emotion over the last three months. since I found out that Rachel's pregnant and, you know, like, you're excited, you're nervous, you're scared, and then you start thinking of like, wow, what was I like as a kid?

And, like, you know, I just want all the best parts of that. I don't want, like, the, you know, kid coming home late or the, I don't know, all this, you know, all that kind of stuff. That's the stuff you think about. But I'm so excited, so excited. We found out two weeks ago that we're having a baby girl. We had a gender reveal party that was so cool to be able to share with my parents and some of our closest friends and family.

I'm so excited. I also find myself like just spontaneously getting emotional for no reason. Like a thought will just enter my head and I'm like, oh, oh, man. But I'm so excited. And Rachel's starting to show. Or she's getting a little belly and a little, uh, she's going to be a little, uh, she's kill me for that. A little baby bump. She's getting a baby bump. It is not a belly. It is a baby bump. Good thing. She's not around here hearing me say this. Although she's going to listen to this episode.

She's getting a little baby bump. And I've just been, you know, holding it and kissing it. I'm just excited. I'm excited that all of you guys are with me on this journey. So, you know, it's been an exciting year for me, 22. Got engaged. Bought a house. Found out I was pregnant. Oh, not me pregnant, but found out that. that we were having a baby. And 2023 is going to be a huge year. We're going to have a baby. I'm going to turn 40 in May. So I'm just so excited for what 20203 has in store for

for me, for the podcast, for the YouTube channel, for the different TV shows that I work with. There's been a lot of growth. Maybe for the book that I'm writing. That's really up to you guys. Please send me a tweet if you're actually interested in this book being a thing. But I'm just excited for what's next. And that's something I'm grateful for every single day is opportunity.

And I just love that we live in a time now where I am talking into a microphone just all by myself here. And you're in your car or you're working out or you're walking your dog or maybe you're at work. And we're connecting like this. And I love it. I just love that this exists right now. So I'm super grateful for opportunity. And I can't wait to show you guys what we got in store in the next. 12 or so months.

The Hammer Alley podcast, an 80s flashback mockumentary. Back in the 80s, there were a thousand bands trying to make it in the world of rock. But there was one band that had it all. Hammer Alley. Whatever happened to Hammer Alley? How did they go from top of the rock? I'm looking for a music video. They're a band from 1987.

Hammer Alley. Ever heard of them? To Rock Bottom. Dude, I was born in 19. I can't believe he's doing this. Hammer Alley. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.
