Welcome back. Welcome back, everybody. Adam Chin from Procabulary is on the show. Many of you have heard my podcast with Mark England, which was a fantastic deep dive into the language that we use and how it is available at our fingertips truly to create the world we live in, to create our experience in it and to make manifest all of our dreams. This podcast came at a perfect time for me and it came at a perfect time because of the Red Pill solo cast that I really had hammered. I tried to balance the light and the dark and well, as you know, if you've listened to that, it was pretty heavy. This is more of that light side. And what's great is, you know, Adam is completely tuned in to the events in the world and what they are and still is in a space of being a co-creator and not focusing on the things that are out of his control and really utilizing the power that he has within to be a creator. And we dive into all that. We don't beat around the bush. It is fantastic. We dive into language. We dive into his story and how he met Mark England and really a story of synchronicity. You know, all of the synchronicities that have

been occurring in my life. And I mean, shit, I could be an entire podcast in and of itself. I mean, just doing a solo cast on that. But my recent synchronicities and of course the synchronicities that led him to focus on language and partner with Mark England in the creation of Procabulary.org. You can head over to Procabulary.org slash Kyle and you're going to get 10% off

their core language upgrade, which is absolutely phenomenal and will change your fucking life. There are no two ways about it. So please check that out. It'll be in the show notes. Again, support the show by supporting our sponsors. We are brought to you by InsideTracker. InsideTracker.com is an incredible company that is doing something that really, as far as I know, I don't think anybody else is doing right now. What they do is they have a home test kit for your genetics, which is super easy.

It's a bit of saliva. You send that in, then you get your blood drawn. And based on your goals and where your health is at, they give you a score through the app of where your overall health is, what are the major areas you need to focus on, and then how to attain and achieve all of your fitness goals, all of your health goals, and longevity as well. So this doesn't just get into, you might want to just lose 20 pounds, but actually being able to see based on blood work and genetics where your focus point should be, and then the best approach to how to go about that. So for me personally, having done this, I'm going to open the app right now and just take a gander. Uh, let's see here. So one of the things that I want to do is improve HDL and LDL levels. So from a lifestyle standpoint, I can increase avocado and olive oil and then incorporate a

bit more aerobic workouts. And this is funny, you know, for the last probably month and a half, I have not, I've been doing quite a few, quite doing quite a bit less cardio, but that is one of the ways to balance this. And so based on the goals and where your health stands in your wellness score, you punch in what you want to do. And then through computer learning, it's going to give you a whole host of different ways that you can achieve that. And I think this is just completely novel and completely fascinating by me. I absolutely love it. And it's one of the best ways that we can take the responsibility of our health and bring it back to within our control. This gives you pointers in all directions.

It's incredibly easy to use. Their app also syncs with other fitness trackers like Oura Ring, Whoop Watch, all that stuff. So if you're already working with some of these other fitness trackers, this is probably the best way that you can synchronize that and get all of your health into the most optimized, best version of yourself. And what a perfect time of year

with the holidays coming up and travel coming up to actually take a deep dive into that and to understand your health better. Check it all out at insidetracker.com slash KKP. Use the code KKP at checkout. You're going to get 25% off their entire InsideTracker store. That's 25%. This is a limited time. So check it out, insidetracker.com slash KKP and use the code KKP at checkout. And that's going to get you 25% off everything in the store. Again, this is one of the most novel and amazing ways that you can

tackle your health head on and own the responsibility that health is an inside job. I've been saying that for years. When you understand health is an inside job, you got to take responsibility for yourself, but it also really helps to have authentic, trackable things that show you where you're at and where you're going and the best ways to get there. And InsideTracker is going to help you do that. We're also brought to you by BuyOptimizers. Do y'all like free stuff? I mean, I sure as hell do. And if you do, and you're like me, then you are in luck because BuyOptimizers Black Friday deal starts right now. And not only are they giving you a huge discount all month long,

they're also giving away over $200 worth of free gifts. That's right. I have an exclusive advance invite to buy Optimizers Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for the entire month of November. If you're feeling stressed or haven't been sleeping well lately, you're not alone. You might not be able to change all the chaos out there, but you can start supplementing with one key nutrient to help improve your sleep quality, as well as over 600 other biochemical reactions in your body. I had the CEO and founder of this company. You might not be the CEO. I had the founder of this company, Wade Lightheart, on the podcast, and we probably spent 30 minutes talking about magnesium alone. This is one of the most important products on the planet, and Magnesium Breakthrough is one of the only products I've found

that has all of the magnesiums that I'd want in one convenient bottle. You open less bottles, spend less money, and still get the top seven forms of magnesium for stress and better sleep, all in one bottle. Most magnesium supplements fail because they are synthetic and are not full spectrum. When you get all seven critical forms of magnesium, pretty much every function in your body gets upgraded from your brain to your sleep, pain and inflammation, and even less stress.

Right now for the entire month of November, the makers of Magnesium Breakthrough, Bioptimizers, are having a Black Friday, Cyber Monday blowout sale on their best-selling magnesium. All month long, you'll get 10% off with my unique code plus access to over $200 in free gifts, including books and more of their best in-class products to sample. This is the best time to stock up and take advantage of all free extras you're going to get.

We are brought to you by 8SleepPod Pro. This holiday season, give yourself or a loved one a gift that keeps getting better night after night after night. This has absolutely been one of my most favorite things that I've introduced to myself this year, and truly, when we talk about

fat loss, recovery, stress, Dr. Quiet, any of these things, this is one of the most beneficial ways to enhance that. It's through enhancing our sleep. Have you ever heard that you need to sleep at 68 degrees Fahrenheit? Well, that's a myth. Science suggests that there is no one universal sleep temperature to give you deep and high quality sleep. Moreover, our sleeping temperature needs to change throughout the night as body temperature affects both your circadian rhythm and sleep quality. However, the average mattress actually absorbs your body heat, giving you those nasty night sweats and causing restlessness. Who wants that? The Pod Pro by 8Sleep is the most advanced solution on the market for thermoregulation.

It pairs dynamic cooling and heating with biometric tracking. It comes in the form of both a mattress or a cover you can put on your existing mattress. Get the Pod and start sleeping as cool as 55 degrees or as hot as 110 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature of the Pod Pro will adjust each side of the bed. This is important. Each side of the bed based on your sleep stages, biometrics, and bedroom temperature, reacting intelligently to create the optimal sleeping environment. The result, eight sleep users fall asleep 32% faster, reduce sleep interruptions by 40%, and get overall more restful sleep. The Pod Pro by Eight Sleep is so popular,

it has garnered attentions from CEOs, pro athletes, and overall high performers who want to get sleep fit because good sleep is the ultimate game changer. Right in time for the holidays, give the gift of better sleep and a present that will keep giving back every day of the year. Go to 8sleep.com slash KKP this Black Friday and Cyber Monday to save on the biggest sale of the year. That is E-I-G-H-T-S-L-E-E-P.com slash KKP this Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And they're going to have the best deals that they've been running all year long. Last but not least, we're brought to you by Paleo Valley.

Paleo Valley is a phenomenal company. These guys make my favorite beef sticks on the planet. They are 100% grass-fed and grass-finished. Many on the market claim grass-fed, but they are actually finished on grains. They use beef sourced from small domestic farms in the United States of America. They use real organic spices to flavor their beef sticks versus conventional spices sprayed with pesticides or natural flavors often made from GMO corn. They ferment their sticks, which creates naturally occurring probiotics, which are great

for our gut health. And it makes it alive, right? A lot of products that are stored on shelves, they're no longer living. By having this fermentation, they are adding a bit to it to keep this thing alive and more digestible. They taste amazing. Perhaps that's the most important piece and have a great protein snack on the grub or on the go wherever you are. I've got these in my podcasting backpack. There's nothing worse than showing up to a podcast and starving and sometimes on the road that is the case. So I always keep a bag of these Paleo Valley Beef Sticks with me wherever I go. We've got a 10-day road trip coming up and I'm bringing an entire box. Benefits of the product are 100% grass-fed beef, has higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids,

vitamins and minerals, glutathione, which is the master antioxidant produced by the liver, CLA, conjugated linoleic acid, which is the fat that burns fat, and the most bioavailable protein. They're also keto-friendly, and as I said, a great protein-rich snack on the go. So if you're traveling for the holidays, if you want a healthy snack in between meals, it's actually going to fill you up, not some chips or some other garbage, which I'm sure we'll all be eating. This is one of the ways we can do that. These guys refuse to cut corners. They prioritize health over profit. They use conscientious processing and manufacturing, and they source only the highest in quality ingredients available. They have a strict focus on bringing nutrient density back to the dinner table and have a passion not only for health, but for environmental restoration and animal welfare.

And these guys are an accessible family-owned company. Check it all out at paleovalley.com. Use the discount code Kyle for 15% off. That's paleovalley.com, discount code Kyle for 15% off everything in their store. These guys are incredible, and you are sure to love everything that they make at Paleo Valley. Without further ado, my brother Adam Chin is back. Here we fucking are, Adam Chin. You've got an editor, right? I mean, this is recorded. My dude, Roy Matz, he does the editing in these podcasts.

He's brilliant. He also does the music. He's a musician. Love this guy. And one of the things he wants, he does a number of podcasts, not just mine, but one of the things that he wanted was a more, like a really raw cut, you know? And maybe that's just him wanting to do less. I don't know.

But of course he's listening to this right now. But when he talked to me about that, like it's less polished than when I was at Onnit where they would take my deep inhales out and shit like that. He doesn't do that anymore. So maybe like, who's that guy breathing? I'm like, oh, that's me.

And sorry that I had the mic too close to my nose or I was, you know, if I just come from a workout or something like that, I might be, there might be some heavy breathing or if I'm really rambling, then, you know, but I, listening to my own podcasts, I like that. Like you gotta, you're gonna edit out the fucking sound of me taking a breath, you know?

Like if you pay attention closely, I've been listening to Adele with bear and, uh, we probably listened to like someone like you 40 times in a row. Cause he just loves it. And, uh, you can hear her take a deep breath before she fucking belts out the long one, you know? And it's like, okay, completely natural. Just like we're in the room right now. So Roy, I love you, brother. Thank you for the great work that you do. Adam, I was introduced to you from our buddy and your business partner, Mark England,

who has been incredible. And it's really a funny, I mean, I know I talked about it on our podcast together, but I've probably had more people intro me to Mark with the idea of him coming on my podcast than any other single human by far. And for years, there was always like, yeah, that's a great idea. Especially knowing Mark's background in martial arts and having spent time in Thailand and Iboga with plant, like all the

things, right? And of course, what we're going to talk about and dive deeper into today with, with vocabulary, there's so much he could bring to a podcast, especially like mine, where all of those things are, are high ticket items in my opinion, right? Like I want to hear about your fighting. I want to hear about Iboga. I want to hear about how words affect everything we do in life, right? I want to hear all those things. And for whatever reason, it just went by. 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020. I mean, I think I'm almost positive I met him in 2017 at Paleo FX. And he might've been speaking that year, but mind pump, barbell shrugged,

all these guys. I'm pretty sure Bledsoe was the guy that introduced me to him earliest on. And then over time, you know, with Keith Norris reintroduced, Hey, you know, you guys, I don't know if you've met this guy,

but you need to know him. And I'm like, we've met and I want him on. And it just worked out perfectly that, that he came in. And I loved that podcast. I've loved the small amount of pro. Procabular that I've dove into. And I most certainly,

we actually have a road trip coming up at the end of the month and I know I prefaced I've been going on and on for three minutes and counting already. I've already prefaced that I really want you to run with this since we're limited to an hour and I haven't given you a chance yet to speak but we have a road trip coming up at the end

of the month for 10 days like Clark W. Griswold. We were like, let's go see the Grand Canyon and then we'll visit your parents and all of your family out in Arizona. And so we got that coming up. We rented an RV from Outdoorsy, which is a super dope app, brand new RV. And we get that in about 10 days. And I'm like, what are all the cool educational tools we can do together as a family? And I'm thinking like books and things like that. And I'm like, what are all the cool educational tools we can do together as a family? And I'm thinking like books and things like that. I'm like, oh, we got to fucking run vocabulary.

That's for damn sure what we're going to do as a family on this road trip because of the fact that it's something that's applicable and easy to grasp. Like Bear's going to understand this. We've been telling him over and over again, our words matter. And when shit hits the fan, even though no one has ever told him that in our household,

he might've heard it at school before we started homeschooling, but he'll just say, fine, I'm stupid. Or he'll do self-degrading, right? I'm like, oh shit. Nope. I didn't say that, buddy. We don't think that at all. You're brilliant. You were exceptionally smart. But really for him to understand the power of words, the power of how we talk to ourselves, because everyone's got that inner critic, right? And some people might say, oh, six years old is a little early. What the hell's going on in your family? I mean, I don't know. Maybe it is, but that's how my inner critic talks sometimes, especially when I was younger. I mean, I have memories playing football. If I made a mistake,

I would punch myself in the face with my helmet on, like, thank, and I'd hit myself in the helmet. The Chris Farley. Yeah. God, stupid. Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. So look, there's a lot I want to dive into you, specific to vocabulary, specifics,

but I want to get into your life as well, because you're not Mark England. You're your own person. Believe it or not. I'm my own person. Yeah. Yeah. Well, uh, I met Mark, uh, now how many years ago now it's been since 2006, seven. So, oh my Lord, that's been 14 plus years that I've known Mark England. I met him in Thailand. Like you mentioned, Mark is a, you know, kickboxer who went over there. People have listened to that show. They know that story. I was over there because I was reconnecting with my family because I am born to a Thai Chinese father and a Appalachian mother. I'm the first Asian hillbilly you've had on this show, right? Am I

correct? Yeah. I mean, it's funny you're saying that because my brother-in-law is first generation American. My brother, Matt, best dude ever. Favorite guy that my sister's ever dated, period. So I was like, yes, marry him. I love him. His parents are both from Thailand. And having spent time in Thailand, and also my high school was 70% Asian. And that's including India, which is a large part. I think it's 80% now with the inclusion of India, which is a part of Asia. But I've always wondered that,

because I have friends, like one of my best friends, Levent, he's half Thai, or no, half, his mom's from Singapore and his dad's from Turkey. And his mother's first name was Chin, Chin Sui. So I'm like, Oh, where's Chin from? You know? So I'm wondering that, but this is, this is dope. Dive, dive into that. Yeah. There's, there's a lot of, well, the Chin name, you know, depending on how this, you can look at the character and you can see which sort of branch, um, the, the Chin name comes from. There's lots of, even though we spell it, uh, I think it's pinion

is the system we use in, in America to translate that symbol. It could be, I don't know, it could be 16, 20 different types of chin names, just depending on the region, the tone, et cetera. So but generally it's a surname as you know. And you know, my, the reason I say Chinese Thai is because, uh, my father's, uh, grand or grandparents and his parents were both born in China and they moved to Thailand. Uh, largely I would say to escape the coming communist revolution, uh, that was on the horizon during that period. So, you know, I, I come from a line of freedom lovers, let's say, industrialists and freedom lovers. So I know you're a big freedom lover.

Absolutely, brother. So yeah, I meet Mark over there reconnecting with Mark. But, you know, one of the things when you are someone like me who comes from a very strange, or I should say unique, mixed race background is that there's a lot of conflict with that. You've got this, again, in the 1970s, my mom and dad meet and you've got Appalachia on one side, you've got Chinese Thai on the other. And you would think, oh, that seems like a combination that wouldn't work out very well.

And you'd be right because that marriage dissolved very quickly. And there was a lot of conflict in my home, you know, so I would end up spending the school year in the Carolinas where I grew up with my mom, my stepdad. And then I would go over in the summers to see my, my father, um, in, in Thailand. So I, I got to see a lot of the, the conflicts of adults as a, as a child had a front row seat to that. So you'd see the, the, you know, the, the basic stuff, the money, the, the relationships, uh, you know, arguments about how life is happening to me and why things aren't fair or things just aren't working out. Now do get me right. I, I, my parents taught me a lot of great things and they showed me a lot of fantastic tools that I could use to become an adult,

but there still was this overwhelming feeling of anxiety that I saw not just in my family, but also, you know, but also as a kid growing up during that era with other adults. And at some point, as I started to become an adult, I started noticing that that was an option, that people didn't have to go down that path, that instead of life happening to you, you could actually co-create with it. And the most pivotal event was me meeting by chance through my first job as an adult, as an adult, my mentor, Jeffrey Gittermer, someone that people, if they're in sales and let's say they're over 35, they would definitely know who this person is. This is a guy who at one point, I believe it's still the case, has written and published

the most popular book on sales ever, ever created the little red book of selling. And I met him when I was 22 and he hired me to run his studio. And ostensibly I became his student because he is a sales and personal development teacher. But I recognize something about this guy, Jeffrey, that I wanted to emulate in a big way. This guy, yes, he experienced conflicts. Yes, he experienced things that would show up in his life that were negative, but he was co-creating with life. He would come up with something, think of an idea, put something out there as an intention, and it would come true. And I said, how do I do that? And he saw that I was so interested as a young man,

took me under his wing. And he taught me the old school guys when it comes to the stuff that really is at the foundation of what Onnit's all about. It's what Enlifted and Procabulary are all about. It's what you're all about. It's this idea of positive attitude or co-creation with the world. And that's essentially what we're going to talk about today, how this theme expresses itself in many different mediums, right? So he showed me the old school guys, the Dale Carnegie's, you know, Thinking Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale's The Strangest Secret, if you even know about that recording, it's an amazing recording. And then Jim Rohn,

the great Jim Rohn. And these old school guys influenced Jeffrey to become the person he was. And he wanted to pass that on to the people who would, you know, actually take that torch and move forward with it as well. So I got to both mentor under Jeffrey and also my job with him was to build these educational courses for a fortune 50 companies. We were working with Caterpillar and, uh, you know, Microsoft Ford motor company. I was doing all this at 24, 25 years old. So I was very fortunate to, to be in that scene. And, you know, uh, I turned 27, 28 and I had the opportunity to leave the company, a little money in my pocket. And I said, screw it. I'm going to go to Thailand. And it just so happens that I end up in a place called The Spa in Koh Samui, Thailand in 2006, 2007. And I get there. And this place, I'm telling you, it's like proto on it, Kyle. It was a laboratory where people from all around the world would come and essentially cross-pollinate, a word that we talked about before we started recording, these really amazing ideas that, in retrospect, was right in the trajectory that I was on, uh, meaning personal development. How do we co-create with the world?

They were doing it from a very wild, very hippie, very, you know, in some, some cases, woo woo, uh, directions, but also in, in nutrition, like in 2006, we were talking about seed oils there. We, you know, we were talking about, uh, veganism and low carb dietsb diets and paleo diets even. That conversation started pretty early on there. And the key activity at this place was a detox. One of these places where you don't eat for, say, 7 to 10 to 12 days. Some people go even longer than that. So this is the, you would call it the nest or the incubator, a better word, where Mark and I meet randomly. And we're still pretty early on in our journeys as adults. Even though we're in our

late 20s, we're still figuring things out. And that place was so magical. In a lot of ways, it was a very nurturing, incubating environment because it did bring personal development ideas that were outside of the norm into our sphere early on. Things like Mind Power by John Kehoe, David Data's information on the divine masculine and divine feminine. These all entered this space early on. And we were able to, you know, over those, say the next 10 years, seven to eight, 10 years, we were able to really integrate those ideas and form them into our consciousness and, you know, into our expression of personal development. So a few years go by and I, I keep in touch with Mark. Of course, he moves to Ecuador for a little while. I come back to the States for a couple of years. We reconvene at the spa in 2014. And he, he says, Adam, you know, I got this idea.

I want you to look at it. And if you like it, would you be interested in, in building a course? Like I told you, I've, I used to build educational courses and he knew that. And so would you, would you build a course out of this for me and shoot the video, et cetera? And I said, yeah, sure. Of course I'll, I'll read the document, read the documents called empowered language systems. And I go through it and I'm like, Holy hell, this is really interesting. Because I know it about NLP. I know it about Landmark and a lot of these things. But to see what Mark had done, he had simplified these things. They were very simple.

And I go, you know what? There is one more layer of refinement that we can do on this and make it even simpler. So I said, Mark, I will do it, but we have to go into business together and I will refine it and we'll make this into the iPhone of personal development. Something really simple, really digestible that anyone can use. So the thing that attracted me most about that particular material in terms of language as an entryway to positive attitude, and that's what we used to call it before mindset was a thing, right? We used to call it positive attitude, and that's what we used to call it before mindset was a thing, right? We used to call it positive attitude, is that it was, again, it was so practical. It was so simple because, you know, language being the symbols that we use to communicate very large ideas.

Oftentimes, you know, it's a, think of it as a way of self-expression. So you have paintings in this office, beautiful paintings, right? I mean, everyone can finger paint. And I, and I believe that at the, at the level that most people that we are finger painting our realities, you know, with, with our our words because we've never been taught. We've never practiced. We've never put in the reps or we've yet to, I should say. And when I started looking at the material that Mark presented to me, I started seeing that there were very simple, very practical ways that anyone in the world can make a little change and they could, they could explore their ideas. They could craft their ideas by using this, these techniques. So we launched the course in 2015, sold a little bit, 2016, Mark goes on barbell shrugged, sold a lot. Thank you, Mike Bledsoe

and Anders and the whole team. And then we realized that the coaches and the athletes were really responding to this material, partly because Mark was an athlete himself. Mark, you know, was one of the first kickboxers that came out of Virginia and one of the first fighters. And Mark has lived in that world for a very long time, so he could speak with him. But I'd say also partly because, you know, athletes are optimizers. You know, they want to get the edge. They understand that every little adjustment can make very large changes in the outcome. So athletes, coaches, leaders, anyone who could see how urgent and how necessary these changes were in order to get the outcome that they wanted, they responded to the material. So then we took that vocabulary concept and we rebranded it as

Enlifted and really, again, had yet another layer of refinement to it to speak to that leader, to speak to that influencer, to speak to that athlete or coach. And we wanted to create something, again, that was practical. So the definition, the way we present to people of what Enlifted is, we say Enlifted is a company that creates a set of practical mindset tools to unlock freedom and confidence. And I really like that way of putting it because I like the term practical mindset. Because when someone says mindset to you for the first time, it may sound ethereal. It may just sound because what is the thought? Have you ever seen a thought under a microscope? It just seems like you can't get your, your hands around it.

And, and one of the most brilliant observations that Mark has made, and he made it on the show with you when he was on, is that, you know, the, the whole concept of, of why, like, why am I always feeling like this? You know, why does this always happen to me? Or why does she have feeling like this? You know, why does this always happen to me? Or why does she have to be this way? It's like that, you know, if you have a decade and 50 grand to spend with, you know, a therapist on a sofa, go for it. The rest of us have a family to raise, a job to do, a race that we want to complete, you know? So his observation was, screw the why, let's look at the

how, the mechanics, because Mark, self-admittedly, is a simple guy. You know, he's a hidden genius in that way. So he goes, let's look at the how, the mechanics, a practical mindset. Shall I give you some examples? Yes, please. Yes, please, brother. Okay. So you think of some basic sentences that people say to themselves, both with each other and also, most importantly, I would say with your self-talk. So think of something like this. I really don't think I should do that anymore. And you think about that line, I really don't think I should do that anymore. Okay. Pretty basic sentence. I would say generally that feeling that's associated with that sentence has to do with guilt or some sort of, I don't know, maybe there's some shame associated with

that, disappointment in oneself. And you're thinking, okay there's some shame associated with that, you know, disappointment in oneself. And you're thinking, okay, what can I do with that trash of a sentence? Okay. Well, if you break it down and you can, and we will teach you, Mark will teach you how to do this. And you look at each word, there's actually a lot of hidden gold in that statement. So first of all, what I would do is I would say, well, define what that is. Okay. Because the brilliance of language is that you can take these amazing large concepts and you can compact them down, compress them like you compress a file on your computer. You can compress them down to very small bits that you can transmit to each other, right? So that, oh, that, what is that? That's a euphemism. Okay. Maybe that is overeat to the point of which I'm exhausted and feeling bloated and terrible about myself. Okay. So now let's go back to the sentence with that, with the actual

uncompressed version of that in it. So I really don't think I should eat to the point in which I'm bloated and exhausted and feeling like shit. Okay. Now let's take out the really, because really is a throwaway word. I don't think I should eat to the point where I'm feeling terrible. Okay, great. Now, what do you do want to do? So I do think that I should what? You flip it. You're just taking these words and you're flipping them. You're just crafting this sentence into something you can actually use. So I do think that I should what? Have more control over how I eat. Okay, good. So I do think I should, or I do think I can. Do you think, or you can you? So ultimately you end up at a place

where if you craft the sentence enough, you start realizing the actual thing you're attempting to communicate to yourself, the input that you're giving to yourself is something more akin to, I can control how I eat. That's the hidden gold. And you say that over and over. It's like Thug Rose at the last UFC. What did she say over and over. It's like Thug Rose at the last UFC. What did she say over and over and over again? She says, I'm the best. I'm the best. I'm the best. She kept saying it. The whole way to the cage, all the whole training camp for months. Imagine if she says, I don't think, if she was saying, I don't think I could lose this match if I tried hard. It's like, no, no, no. I'm the best. I'm going to give it my best when I'm in

there. There's a good chance that maybe if I try real hard one day, I'll be. It's like, no, no, no. I'm the best. I'm going to give it my best when I'm in there. There's a good chance that maybe if I try real hard one day, I'll be the best. No, no, no. I'm the best. I'm the best. And you do, if your actions and the words, if they meet on the same road, man, that's where the magic happens. Abracadabra. Mark talked about abracadabra when he was on the show. With my word, I create. It's an ancient Aramaic word, with my word I create. Okay, abracadabra, magic. So, you know, another quick example would be something people say. They say, she never let me be me. Okay, well, who's the protagonist of that story?

She. Okay, let's flip that. I never let me be me. Is there any accuracy to that statement? And a lot of people, they'll flinch. They will go and they will say, okay, I take out the never. That's binary. That's either or. I occasionally let me be me. You start seeing what you're seeing when you make these changes with the words, you're starting to see that the steering wheel all of a sudden comes into view of life. And before I'm a passenger on the back of the bus and I'm a minor character in my autobiography. And as you start crafting the language and placing yourself at the center steering wheel comes down you're in your own vehicle driving your own life and you know that's the central question that i've been obsessed with my whole life is to what degree do we author our

own story because i and honestly given uh what you've been talking about for the past few months maybe longer than that listen to a lot of your shows but it is the question of the day. It's the question of the, of the times, because there are a lot of folks out there who believe that life happens and that I'm, again, I'm a minor character in my autobiography and that other people have to change so that I can live the life that I want to live. And other people have to think differently so that I can feel good about myself. Well, that's a road to hell because good luck with that. So that was a very quick synopsis of what it is that we're up to. Our goal is to give people tools to build freedom and to build confidence. And we're doing that in a variety of ways. I can get into that later. important rememberings or life truths, you know, with a capital T that have perhaps not been coined by Aubrey and Paul Cech, but have certainly been something that they have repeated

over and over again to me. And one of which, so I think I've mentioned on this podcast plenty of times, is Aubrey, you know, saying that, is life happening to you? Or how does he word that? Is life happening to you or is life happening for you? Right? Just that question. And in any circumstance, when I look in the rear view, did that happen to me or was it for me? Right? That shift is just a perspective change, but it takes me out of the victim and it empowers me. And there's always, I mean, even, you know, Paul Levy, who I had on this podcast, wrote the book, Dispelling with Tico, all on how

darkness operates and all on how that non-local entity is not some weirdo in a red suit with a pitchfork. That entity's in all of us. It is. It exists in all things. And which wolf do you feed, right? Well, one of the first things we do in creation is the logos. We work with the word. That's how we draw something from the astral or the etheric plane. And we make it a living reality here is through the vibration of our word. And that reframe really, it really is important. And just as Levi says in Dispelling Wetiko, the gems are hidden in the darkness. It is the light at the end of the tunnel when we go through the dark night of the soul.

When we change that, you know, from holy shit, I can't believe they're doing X, Y, and Z on the external. And we say, well, what is that offering me now? Right. It seems like if Bill Gates is buying up all this farmland and he's also, you know, basically a co-owner of what is formerly known as Monsanto and likely is not going to be using the best farming practices that help heal the earth. Look at him. Kyle, that's so not cool, man. Bill Gates is a picture of health. Just look at the guy. So, you know, if Mr. Rogers is destroying the planet, that's a story. Where's my story? Well, I'm not going to allow anybody in a position of power to dictate what I put in my body, what kind of food I eat,

right? So maybe if I'm to empower myself, that's going to require me either A, growing my own food or B, knowing the growers on a first name basis who do it in the highest level of integrity. Empowering the growers, empowering the things that you want to give power to. Building relationships with these people, right? Absolutely. Yeah. So this is that, it all comes down to that concept of locus of control. Have you heard about this before? And they say that there's people who have a high internal locus of control, as we're talking about, authoring your own story. And there's people who have a high external locus of control, meaning that the control comes from external sources.

And we all have mixtures, and there's different theories about it in terms of attribution in certain areas of our life. But ultimately, if we give in to these global forces that – I'm not using that in an Alex Jones way. I mean in terms of the global forces that are out of our control. And we, we give into that, to those thoughts and we paint the world with global thoughts, paint our internal world with global thoughts that leads to depression. This is clinically proven, right? So depression, good luck doing anything when you're depressed, right? So you want to

create that environment. Again, you want to co-create with the world. So if we can figure out a way, again, using practical tools, you guys are, I mean, from a physical perspective, this is dreamland. I come in here and I come into the offices here at Audit and I see the artwork, I see where the attention has gone. And you are about building, again, total human optimization. Mark and I are approaching it from another way. There's lots of tools out there to get to where we want to be, but the body and the mind and the soul all have to be working in unison with a variety of tools to get there. So I truly believe that this is the issue of the day. Like we have to get,

especially children in a position and young people in a position where they can understand that they're working, they're working and they're, they're, they're artists and they're painting with the world, you know, and they're, and they're co-creating this experience because if,

if they believe that, again, that if someone else has to change their behavior and their thoughts in order for me to feel good about myself, I am struggling to find a more debilitating and depressing existence than that. Because as a, hey, I'm a mixed race guy. I grew up in the South in the 80s and the 90s. I mean, yeah, there's going to be people who don't understand you, but so what, you know, it's like, you're going to not understand a lot of people. You get used to it. The goal is that we understand each other. And, and so that's the other side of the language work.

You know, so much of the positive element and mindset work that's, that's been out there for, for decades has been about this concept of, we have to build up the internal world, the internal tools, because they, they do have the maximum impact. And I would suggest everyone, uh, address that, that, uh, front of the war first, but as an MMA guy, you know, I mean, you know, when you train, you're training for two foes. You're training for the, like the Masashi Miyamoto quote that Aubrey has in his book. You know, he's a big fan of that about defeating that inner foe every single day because you have a lesser foe tomorrow. That's, that's what, you know, most mindset is about. But you also have to think about mindset stuff and language stuff in terms of who are the

threats across from you in the octagon or in the, in the ring. Cause there are mindset threats that are out there and they're coming at you. And Tony Robbins used to say that if you don't get your ideas straight about what you want to do and become and who you want to be in this world, there are billion-dollar industries out there to do that for you. Okay? Multi-billion-dollar industries. there to do that for you. Okay. Multi-billion dollar industries, a trillion dollar industries now. So, so there are going to be threats externally as well. And the tools that we, we provide and created and lifted are about first and foremost,

the internal, but also the external, because if you've got people out there that believe that other people are in charge of their happiness, well, I mean, what happens when, I don't know, a virus is unleashed and people start thinking, well, I can't be healthy unless you do something. My health is subject to your actions. Well, how far would they go with that? Because, you know, I mean, you can go throughout history and you can see people who've done really horrible things when they've externalized responsibility.

There's fantastic books that have already been written, some of which Jordan Peterson has been mentioning for a number of years to read. The Gulag Archipelago series, the three-volume series, is just one of many that really points out to how this exactly unfolded in the near distant future. You know, something that's really resonated with me is when we talk about, you know, the muddled history of humanity that no one really agrees on. It's like, no one lived in the Americas, you know, until X, Y, and Z. And they're like, ah,

there's some evidence in the Amazon that we were around, you know, a few hundred thousand years ago, 200,000 years ago. Who fucking knows? It's all over the place. But, you know, when we think back to the length of time with that and how humanity has evolved, we're all in agreement. A hundred years ago, we're the same fucking people, right? So this idea, how could they? How could Nazi Germany happen? How could Stalinist Russian happen, right?

It's that those ideas and concepts are alive today. Eugenics didn't start with Nazi Germany, and it sure as hell didn't end with Nazi Germany. That idea is alive and well, right? What do we do with that, right? Those are the stakes, Kyle. Literally, if someone's new to this world and they hear that, they're like, whoa, that's a big jump from me improving my own personal life and my responsibility to turning into a Nazi Germany supporter or whatever you want to call it. No, because these are the stakes. That is the trajectory. Chairman Mao killed tens of millions of his own people in peacetime using a lot of the techniques that I'm seeing today. Manufactured supply chain shortages.

Hey, we ran out of food. There's a drought. It's very odd. And, you know, again, let's get back to personal responsibility. I have this theory, and I'm going to socialize it here on the show. It's called the bottom-up conspiracy. So, yeah, we all know about the old, there's a war on for your mind, folks. Top-down conspiracy where the lizard people are up in the room and they're doing

all those things to ruin people's lives. Well, before I flew out here, Kyle, I live in the Charlottesville area and I was on the way to the airport. I stopped and there was a little shopping center and there was a chopped salad company, if you know what that is. And, and then they're on, and there was, and that's where I went to get my, my pre-flight meal. Cause I was like, Oh, I want a salad. It's delicious. And then there, and there was no one in chopped. And then next to it, there was a Chick-fil-A that had a line out to, uh, you know, the road, they literally had to like change the road for the moment because it was Sunday morning and everyone wanted, or a Saturday morning, everyone wanted Chick-fil-A.

And I was thinking, oh, that's a bottom up conspiracy. So all these millions of people, think about it. Right now, they're conspiring to keep McDonald's and Chick-fil-A and these horrible people or less than great leaders into power. By the way, I'm not dogging on Chick-fil-A. Chick-fil-A is tasty. I get it. But people, they look around and you say, well, how come McDonald's is still in business? It's like because there's millions of people conspiring to keep them in business. There's millions of people who are conspiring to do what they're told to, even

though they know they shouldn't be doing that because they will not take the reins of their lives. So that's, again, that's why we got to create a, you know, a legion, you know, of a society of, of people who are authors who are co-creating and make that part of the culture. Like, you know, I do believe as the culture has become more secularized, this is the role that some of religion, again, imperfect, but was playing, is that there was some sort of thing outside of ourselves that helped us become more active rather than strictly passive passengers on this journey. So I like to look at both the top-down and bottom-up

conspiracies when I explain things. It makes more sense and it makes me an active participant. Do I want to be on that bottom helping out the people at the top or do I want to do something better? Absolutely, brother. Yeah. The one of the things that that's come to mind is, is, you know, in a sense how supposedly how Christ taught to pray right now, how different, different ascended masters or, or high level humans understood prayer, not as a wish, not as a, Hey, I'd really like to be rich or, or please help me get the mansion of my dreams,

or I really need this promotion, God, please give me that, to praying as if it is already so. And this is the way Dispenza teaches us to manifest, right? A lot of words have a lot to do, as it turns out, with how we co-create and how we make things manifest in this world. And going back to check, he talks about this echo test that I've mentioned the infinite number of times on the podcast. But if I'm standing at the Grand Canyon, which we're heading to, Clark W. Griswold style, and I yell out, I want to lose 20 pounds and feel great, that gets echoed back to me, right? So I'm always in a perpetual state of wanting and needing to lose the 20 pounds, but I never really grabbed that. If I yell out, before I've made it manifest, I've lost 20 pounds and feel great, that gets echoed

back. Now, as I repeat that and I call that in on a daily, anything that's not in agreement with that statement that I'm making about my life will become very apparent. You know, when there's birthday cake at the birthday party and it's like, oh man, but you know, they only turn 40 once. Or, you know, when you start making excuses and things like that, but then you remember, oh, I've lost 20 pounds and I feel great. That's not a part of me losing 20 pounds and feel great. I'll have cake after I've lost 20 pounds and feel great.

And it becomes ever easier to stick to the path and co-create the reality that you have lost 20 pounds and you feel great. And then you can say at the next birthday, oh yeah, I'm gonna have a little bit. Or you know what? There's 15 birthdays this month and I don't fucking need it. Whatever the case is, you're able to circle back.

There's a grounding cord that allows you to tap into something that keeps you on the path to creating what it is you are to create. And I think that is the bottoms-up approach, right? If I can remember that, whatever is presented to me externally, if I have tools that we've been talking about from a movement standpoint, from a doctor diet standpoint, what I'm putting into my body, my sleep practices, all these four doctors,

if I can live by those and stay in my center, then I can actually see a bit more clearly. My awareness broadens and I could say, oh, okay, they're going to have supply chain shortages. Let me go out and buy a whole steer or if I couldn't afford that, let me split one, you know, four ways, eight ways. Split it fucking eight ways. Get a bunch of buddies and tell them like,

hey man, we can get grass finished beef for $3 a pound out here in Texas. Why don't we go in and split this up? And now we're getting at $3 a pound. And who knows, that might be $20 a pound in the next five years. But I want to have that in my freezer if the store's shut down again, if I'm not allowed into Whole Foods because I don't have a fucking VaxPass. Whatever the case is, let's cover the bases there.

And then let me go back to co-creating my dreams on this planet and not worrying about what may be on the line coming up here. Well, that is a co-creation action in itself. You're saying, okay, well, this is what life is giving me. And it's uncomfortable, the idea that this could get ugly in a lot of ways. Well, but I'm taking action in a way that's authentic to who I am and it's authentic to the mission that I'm on. So I'm going out and I'm buying a chest freezer and I'm getting the steer and I'm doing all this stuff and I'm taking action. And how you do one thing is how you do everything. I'm a big subscriber to that phrase. So just by taking those action in alignment with what it is that we want to do, even if it's uncomfortable or if it's not exactly what you want to do in the moment, it's in the path, right?

It's still in alignment. And that's, again, I want to go back to the language stuff with Mark is the beauty of that stuff, again, because Mark is self-admittedly a simple guy, is that a lot of the concepts that we talk about, Dispenza talks about, Paul Cech, brilliant guy, talks about, they do sometimes feel like they're here, you know? And if you're just getting started or if you're having a bad moment, sometimes just looking at the words that are coming out, that's enough, man. You can see the truth there. You can find it. And that's why we say at Enlifted that we unlock this freedom, unlock this confidence. We're not giving it to you.

You already got it. You're just unlocking it. Sometimes you just need a decryption device to see it. So that's what we're ultimately about. Oh, does someone say encryption? Are we going to get into Bitcoin now? That's a little joke for the insiders here at NLIFT because I'm like Mr. Bitcoin amongst our crew. Are you into Bitcoin? I'm just barely getting my feet wet.

But yeah, it's funny. I've been looking into, there's like a space heater that's a Bitcoin mining device that runs hot. I'm looking at stuff like that. I think it's called Heatbit. I don't know affiliation with these guys, but I'm just like, that seems fucking rad. And then in the summer, I could leave it in the garage

where I'm going to be hitting the sauna. Doesn't make the garage as hot. You know, I like to work out hot. You will love Bitcoin. You will love the whole culture around it because it is about sovereignty and freedom. That's what it's about. And it's about self

direction and getting out of this victim perpetrator dynamic. Because as we play into this thing, and it's so easy now because we have so many obvious influences coming at us to step into that victim perpetrator thing. But the Bitcoin thing is like, well, listen, I don't need banks. So what if the Federal Reserve is going to push this rate this way or that way? I don't care. I got Bitcoin. And as you go down that route, you start to see that it's like, oh, actually, it turns out that I don't even look at the price in terms of dollars anymore. I'm strictly thinking in terms of Bitcoin. So when I go and make a purchase, I'm thinking, is that really worth it? Because in 10 years, that's going to be this and

this and this. So again, why am I talking about this in my valuable time with Kyle Kingsbury? Because I do believe that all these things point to one direction. It's freedom and getting out of the victim role as much as possible. The story brand, Donald Miller, this guy, he's become a well-known marketing coach. He's got a book called story brand. He studied screenwriting as did I for a long time and, and storytelling. And he says that, you know, victims exist for one reason to make the hero look good and the villain look bad. And that's no way to live a life, right? You know, as it's like, well, if, cause if you're feeling like a victim and you're in this victim mentality, or maybe you're doing it unconsciously, you're thinking, okay, who am I making look good?

And who am I making look bad? It's like, I'm a non-participant in this. I'm set deck. I'm a prop. And it's like, no, we've got to get out of that space. So again, using our, you know, with our bodies, with the stuff you all are doing and on it with, I know you've talked a lot about the, you know, plant medicines and all that stuff and talking about, you know, language and all these wonderful techniques and tools that we have out there, Bitcoin included. Can we build a tool set that gets us out of the way

of the victim mentality, of the victim role into something much more like an architect, someone who is designing an artist, a building he's painting. She's authoring her story. You know, that's what I'm, that's what I believe is the future of mankind. That's what's going to save us is the individual, the empowered individual. Rogan used to say on his show a lot, he's said it less, less recently, but he said, you know, what the world needs is less losers. You remember he used to say that all the time. Dude, you're right. It's like, and that's, and that can come off as very cold to some people. They're like, well, that's not nice. You know, Trump calls people losers. And it's like, well,

what Joe was saying, if you can be generous for a moment, is he's saying, let's be awesome. Let's all of us be awesome. And let's figure out what we can do to all achieve that together and lift each of us up together. So that's where I'm at. I love everything you're bringing up now. more in the mindset or on an even esoteric level when you look at archetypes and things like that. Amit Goswami is a PhD and he's written, I think, The Science of God or Quantum Spirituality.

He's written a number of books that are all phenomenal. But one of the things he talked about were the six archetypes that humans all engage with. And there's the archetype of love, there's the archetype of abundance, and there's the archetype of power. Those are three of them, right? Love's a given, but I was like, oh, wealth, abundance.

I was like, interesting. And as Caroline Mace points out in her books, they're not right or wrong. There's a light side and a shadow side, however you want to look at that to use Jung terminology. The light side of power is when you gain power and that power is used to empower others. The dark side is you gain power at the cost and expense of others. We've been seeing that on repeat, right? Like from 9-11, 2008, you name it.

I talked a lot about Battle Hymn on my Red Pill solo cast. Great show, by the way. Thank you, brother. But really, I mean, what I'm trying to get to by the end of that thing is to really just paint the picture as it is. Hey, this is how it is.

And the sooner we can agree on that, the sooner we can really start to light the fire under our ass to empower ourselves and all those around us, right? Like there's, it's more than just, hey, let's do this because it feels good. Like, let's do this because it really fucking matters. And the other option is, you know, like Mark said, you know, we just continue to say yes passively until we're a cyborg, you know? That's right. He didn't bring up the board. Right. And he believes that. I mean, and he's, and you know what, I see that as an option as well. Look at communist China right now.

Look at what's going on over there. It's very strange. And it's, is it how far from the board is that? Yeah. It's not that far. Right. You know, a social credit scores and, you know, people stopping at a stoplights and China and the camera being there. And if the license plate doesn't match the facial recognition of the driver, cops alerted to go and make sure. Stuff like that is happening right now in China. Do we really want to live in that society? Yeah, and if you say the wrong thing that's not in line with the narrative, then all of a sudden you're canceled from airplane flights,

from train rides. You can't afford it, right? Your social credit won't work to buy you a ticket there. It's an interesting thing, you know, getting back to crypto that I was reading an article on, which is it's an intelligent currency, right? Like if I have a wad of cash in my pocket and I go to buy something or whatever,

like it's going to, it'll be accepted in a lot of places. Some places aren't accepting cash, as David mentioned, would take place. You know how it's a dirty, they're going to use that as a, there's dirty viruses on it that can kill you. So we're no longer accepting cash. The point is, if it moves to strictly digital,

what crypto can do is it can say, you're only allowed to buy these items at the grocery store. Adam's had too much meat last month or he said the wrong thing. So he's only allowed to buy these items at the grocery store. Adam's had too much meat last month, or he said the wrong thing, so he's only allowed to buy produce with that government crypto. No, that's not going to happen. But I'm just getting at, like, do you want, no, no, no.

That's different from Bitcoin and things like that. What I'm saying is if there is a one-world currency that is a digital currency, the potential for this, and what effectively they're able to do with social credit is to say, you're only allowed to buy X, Y, and Z. I'm not living in that fucking world. That ain't going to happen. No, it's impossible. And I'm a fan of the greatest internet troll of all time, Michael Malice. Do you follow Michael? He's been a rogan a few times. He's really funny.

And one of the things he does oftentimes is he says to be blackpilled is to think of these people as unbeatable foes. And you look at some of the actions, look at the world as it exists right now. So you've got a lot of people who like to control. And by the way, I'm going to get into this because you'll dig this. I figured I'd get a little more conspiratorial with you on the show. Let's do it, brother. It's perfect timing. I know where you're at. You look at the state of the world. You think this world was architected by geniuses? So many things are broken. I mean, come on. As someone who had a real amazing vision for what human society could look like, it wouldn't look like this. It certainly

wouldn't even be transitioned like this. So my issue with Ike and Alex Jones is that they almost give these people too much credit. You know, it's like, you know, it's like, really? It's like, do you think that this is the work of a genius? No. But there is a great book. And I think this is really important to going back to our MMA conversation, mental mixed martial arts conversation, in terms of having some sort of tool set to battle the external messaging, is there's a book that I, it's been on my shelf for a long time, and I just started reading it before I came onto this show. It's called Political Ponerology. Have you heard of this? What's the second word? It is a strange word. It's called Ponerology, P-O-N-E-R-O-L-G-Y. I may have gotten that. I believe that's the right spelling.

So Ponerology is the study of evil. Okay. So in the introduction to this book, again, it's a Polish author and the names are very difficult to pronounce. So I'm going to say the introduction writer and then the author. the introduction writer, and the intro to this book says that this is the single most important book you will ever read. And whenever you read a sentence like that, at the beginning of a book, you're like, Oh my God, what's going on? That's a hell of a claim. Let's, let's get into this. And, and what they ultimately are saying in this book is that you, as a, as a human being, we have to recognize that there is a percentage of our, of our species. Okay. That are psychopaths. And what's a psychopath. So a psychopath is someone who has no remorse,

no feelings when they do something ill to someone else, something wrong when they make a mistake. There's nothing there, right? Reptilian David Icke would say, okay, I'm not going to go that far. But there are these people who are psychopaths, okay? Well, and yeah, we know that. But then you realize that these people will then understand that the rest of us have to abide by, you know, really inconvenient things called truth and honesty and love. And they know that, and they will use that against us. And then the guy goes on to talk about, well, imagine the one percentile best, you know, pathological, insane psychopaths, where would they gravitate towards? Because their

main focus in life is to get what they want. That's what a psychopath wants. That's their only drive is to get what they want. So, huh, if all I wanted to do is, again, by the way, psychopaths are very intelligent, they're very charming. They're very competent at what they do. So if I was a psychopath and I wanted to have the maximum return on my investment, where would I gravitate towards? And I think this is the core concept that I was trying to understand for so long. It's like, why do our leaders do these things? It's not because they're grand people. They're just great psychopaths, you know, because they can hit a button and drone strike a group of

children and then go to bed the next day and fall asleep and not have any problems with that. Whereas you and I would be devastated and we'd go through how many Ibogaine sessions to try to clear that out of our, you know, of our, of our mindset or, you know, our consciousness. But so, you know, we're up against some interesting foes, both internal and external, and it's good to have a tool set that we can use to, to go to battle with. And, and that's, again, call it positive attitude, call it mindset, call it language work, call it, call it the lifted method, call it on it. What you guys do here, it's all the tools that we have at our disposal, plant medicine. These are all, these are all very valuable as we, as we do battle within and then in the external as well.

Absolutely. Well, what, what else? Tell me, tell me a little bit more about this book because we've got, we've got probably 10 minutes left here, but I'm, I'm, I'm, you've piqued my interest. Well, this is someone who's writing from, so it does, he, he, he will admit right off the gate, like, Hey, yeah, this, this does exist. Right. So, I mean, and you don't, you don't have to think of this as like a, you know a you know they for sure give that that class too much credit but they've been playing a longer game when you come to understand this there has been a long game played imagine you know all of aristocracy and the um the world leaders who had cultivated wealth from the vatican to ancient kings and queens who said, okay, there's going to be revolutions unless we secede our power,

but we don't want to. So we'll give the illusion of democracy. We'll give the illusion of fairness. And we're going to try as much as we can to direct this. I mean, there's a, I think it's called a pale, a pale face horse. I'm forgetting the title. The whole pale horse, I believe. Is it William Cooper or something like that?

Yeah, and it's available. It's free audio online. You can search it. I'll try to link to it in the show notes. He makes a brilliant point where he says, if I had acquired a lot of wealth from X, Y, and Z, whatever thing, fairly early on as the modern world is developing,

would it be in my best interest to make sure that my ideals and the things that I really supported in life and thought were good ideas, if I was able to somehow curate that going forward? So, you know, you'd move so far beyond Maslow's hierarchy of needs for your lifetime and for your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren's lifetimes that you'd say, let me actually use this to construct a society that I think will work. What are some of today's problems? What are some of the things that we may need to solve for in the future? And you just start thinking that way, right? Well, here lies the long game of a group of people who think of the masses as peasants, who think of the masses as less than, who think of people of color as dirty

and the ones who need to be extinguished from the earth. They're not as good as Aryans. They're not as good as X, Y, and Z, right? That's where the underlying foundations, it doesn't make them phenomenal geniuses or anything like that, but they are starting from a position of wealth. They're starting from a position of, yeah. They're starting from a position of influence in far as creating different things. And as it's been said, I think it was Plato said, who controls the narrative control society.

It's one of the first quotes in pandemic indoctrination. So again, that's not to say like, oh man, that's what we're up against. What are we going to do? That's not it at all. But it is to say that actually is there to a certain degree. I respect that. I see where that's coming from. Again, I see this as bottom-up conspiracy at the same time. How can that plan work? So the architects of the pyramids didn't build it. The architects needed slaves to all get in line and move those giant stones,

if you believe that theory. Just kidding. So you've got the architects of the Holocaust. Okay. Did Goebbels and Himmler and all those guys, did they go and actually do the things themselves? They had to recruit builders, people who went along with that story. Bottom-up conspiracy, right? So, yeah, that could all be true or there could be some truth to that, but all these people have to get on board this train and do the bidding of these people to build the architectural plans

into reality. So again, that's where I'm mostly focused on the individual and I'm mostly focused on what we can do to build ourselves up because if we're all free, sovereign beings, and again, it's like Heracles' circle. If I build myself within and I really work on myself, then I can give that excess energy, that love to my family. And then if I have more after that, I can give it to my extended family and my friends and my community, and then eventually to the world. So we could all build up that internal energy source and then extend that to the world. So we could all build up that internal energy source and then extend that to the world. Man, imagine what that place looks like. And I believe that, again, whatever these forces, these people, I mean, I think that they just have never met a

foe like that. Imagine being one of these, whatever, that you painted these these narcissists or these psychopaths and and you're look you're looking at a people who are just rad each one of them they're like no way i'm going to be able to to take these people on they're self-sufficient they're smart they're kind you know they they're they're spiritually uh aligned that that's too formidable a foe i'm you know if i'm a hyena i'm gonna go pick on something muche. I'm, you know, if I'm a hyena, I'm going to go pick on something much easier to pick on versus the, the, the,

the rhinoceros, you know? So, and that's what ponorology talks about. He talks about these people as predators. So, you know, predator predators pick on easy prey.

They don't pick on the fastest gazelle, pick on like the weakest one. Right. That's something I've been telling bear. You know, if he gets nervous at night, I'm like, buddy, I'm in your house. fastest gazelle pick on like the weakest one right that's something i've been telling bear you know if he gets nervous at night i'm like buddy i'm in your house i'm the fucking baddest dude in the goddamn neighborhood you know like like if somebody if a bad guy is is scouting the neighborhood like like uh joe pesci and daniel stern in home alone right right they take one look at me in the front

yard and they're like, next house. You know, there's no, we're going to that house at night. You know, that's why it's so funny that there is a guy, you know, Tim Kennedy chased down back in the day. That's right. He was out there and he's got, save his background, right?

Like he's got all the fucking surveillance stuff outside. He can see where the guy is, you know, and he is who he is. I mean, he's one of a kind, truly one of a kind. No one has fought at that level. And on that big of a stage who also has that type of military background, active duty, you're like, you're just like, fuck, what a pedigree, right? So you picked the wrong guy. It's, it's like a Jordan Peterson.

I always call Mark and I went back and watched the original First Blood with Stallone recently. And if you watch that movie, it's like, watch it from today's perspective. It's essentially the Jordan Peterson story. They picked on the wrong guy. Why did they pick on that guy? Because Brian Dennehy in that movie has got to be like, I could have picked on any number of Vietnam homeless vets. I picked on the dude who's going to destroy the entire town and take everyone down with them, you know? And that's

essentially what they did to Jordan Peterson, you know, and, and, and Tim Kennedy there, you pick on the wrong guy. And remember the Gracie brother that was, was being stalked by those dudes and he actually was filming it. Which Gracie was that? It's in New York. It's like you pick on the wrong dude and imagine being in a society in which, you know, again, everybody is formidable. It's like, I can't pick on anybody here. And think about how many bar fights that have not happened because of MMA. I mean, because it's like, dude, anybody in here could crush me. And I have no idea who that is.

So, you know, that's what I'm saying. You build the individual. We give that excess energy to other people, to other things, you know, and be kind, be loving, you know, provide for, you know, as much as we can. And then that's the better world. You know, drinking Soylent and, you know, outsourcing, as Mike Bledsoe says, outsourcing our health to big pharma. You know, that seems... Living in Zuckerberg's, you know, fantasy land. Yeah, the metaverse with Ready Player One goggles on for the rest of your life.

Right, right. Have you seen the meme where it's like, that's what they tell you it looks like, but it's in reality, it's just some dude sitting in the corner of his dark studio and he's just like this, you know, he's like all malnourished. No, we're not, that's not what we're put on planet earth to do. We're put on planet earth to be amazing beings. And the sooner we get into the practices of, like I said, what you guys are doing here and what we talked about today, the better. I got a lot of hope, man. Yeah, absolutely, brother. That's been really where I've been at.

And I know there was a lot of emotion that came across in the Red Pill podcast, but my experience has been again and again, these cues, synchronicities, even on the way here before this podcast, I talked about a honeybee in my car and a lot of people would be like, oh, you had a fucking bee fly in, big deal. My experience with bees over the last two years has been that of a spirit animal. I'm going to have a spirit animal person come in to fully break this down and I'm sure I'll dive into it deeper there. But I mean, I was at an ecstatic dance and I had a bee on the palm of my hand for 30 minutes and I was getting, oh, there was full-blown communication going on with this bee where I, and yeah, maybe I'm just dreaming that shit up, but there were

very clear things that were told to me that I hadn't thought of before. Right. So at the very least, you know, I was accessing the ability to think outside the box and get new material to work with in regards to my relationship with nature as a whole and all of that. And I really love, you know, that we address conspiracy. And yet at the same time, I can feel your energy right now. There's zero fucking worry at your end of the table, right?

And that's what I've been accessing lately. And again, on the drive here, B comes in, lands on me. I'm like, hey, little buddy. And it was this gentle reminder to be sweeter. You know, like, oh yeah, okay. I've probably frightened a lot of fucking people with that podcast.

I can be sweeter, you know? Like this is the shit that I've seen. And at the same time, all of those are pointers to create the more beautiful world our hearts know as possible. All of those are pointers to say, hey, there is a plan for us

if you just want to lay down and it ain't great, but that's just theirs. What is mine, right? What is ours? What are we going to construct right now? And time and time again, through whether it's a bee or a conversation I have with somebody, and I talked a lot about getting to meet Jared Picard and Dr. Nathan Riley and all these people that just, it's like at every turn through our interconnectivity, through our ability to, to harmonize with ourselves and with nature, that just becomes one thing after the next, where like every step I take into uncertainty, you know, with Indiana Jones and he throws the dirt out, you know, he's got to cross the invisible

bridge, right? Like every step is there. Every step in the path is laid out before us when we attune ourselves and do the work. And we can see that. And what you guys have created is such an empowering tool. And it's really the first place to start. I mean, there's many places to start. And I talk about the four doctors all the time. If any one of those things are off, you're not sleeping, good luck taking AlphaBrain or something else. You're not going to be your best. You're not going to lose. You're going to run into all kinds of issues if you're not sleeping well. You're going to run into all kinds of issues if you keep putting McDonald's in your body. And that's a fucking given.

But with that, language, how we talk to ourselves, how we speak to others. I've mentioned The Madness of Crowds, you know, by Douglas Murray, a lot on this podcast, and it's such a fantastic book. Really, what are we looking towards there? He points out some critical issues, you know, can we forgive another? Can we see it through their eyes and respect what they're doing and not need to change their mind? Can we forgive ourselves, you know? And then how do we, what is that inner critic within that exists within all of us? How is the inner critic communicating? It's a big difference. I've had coaches that are like,

Kingsbury, you're never going to fucking be anybody. You're going to play junior college football and wash out, right? That was my high school head coach. The head coach, you say it in front of the whole team, right? And then I had guys that were like, you know, you're doing great with the bull rush, but I really want to see you do a spin move and I know you can do it.

And they would plant that seed in me to make me better. Like you've got, you're a one trick, instead of calling me a one trick pony and saying it in front of everyone I know and respect, pulling me to the side and saying, dude, you're doing great at this, but we want to add a couple layers to you. And then I'm fucking all ears, right? Imagine if you could change your inner critic into that guy, the players coach who pulls you aside and says, hey, you're doing good here, but here's where we can improve. And it's soft enough that you'll actually sit and listen to the inner critic. That's what you guys are offering, brother. That was the greatest softball and greatest segue I could have imagined because that's what I wanted to talk about. Because to sign off here, if you want to learn how to use this material and you are a coach and you are someone who's a leader in your field, or if you're an influencer, you're an influencer, Kyle, and you want to be a master of this material, go to enlifted.me. That's with an E. It'll be in the show notes.

And sign up for an enrollment call or just enroll immediately because the spots go fast. Kimberly Kesting, the great Kimberly Kesting will speak with you. And this stuff is so powerful. Mark will teach you how to use it in your own personal life and also with your clients or your, your team. And, and, uh, I did want to also announce that we have an unlifted app coming out. It's free. That's phenomenal. That's, that's going to be free. It's by the time the show airs, uh, when's the show going to air? A couple of weeks. Oh, really? Okay. It's still in beta right now. Certainly by the new year, by January, download it. It's it's as our product manager at Blackwell calls it a minimum

lovable product right now, but it's a, it's a voice product manager, Eric Blackwell calls it a minimum lovable product right now, but it's a, it's a voice journal that you can use on your phone iOS right now, exclusive, but you, you click the button, you, you speak into it, you rant into it. You do a journal entry in there. It's transcribing all of your words. And it's also highlighting some of these word changes that we talked about today. And you can click a little button in the transcript and change the word or make an edit. And you can start again, drafting and then crafting your thoughts. So as Mark says, you know, so, so oftentimes those thoughts that we essentially identify ourselves by, those are first drafts. What happens when you turn in a first draft

in school, you fail generally. So why would we do that with how we define ourselves, how we, again, author our lives? So this app helps people go in there, craft these thoughts. And then we'll also, by the end of the year, have about a hundred, what we call flows, guided entries for people to go through there. And they actually can have an enlifted coach guide them through a process to deal with relationship issues know, relationship issues, financial issues, whatever gratitude, there's all sorts of cool stuff that we have planned. So that's coming up. And then finally, I want to plug one more thing, Kyle, because I like to plug, like to sell. My mentor was a sales guy after all. We've got an lifted podcast coming out in the new year as well. And that's going to be hosted by

the great Kimberly, the great Chase Tolson and Dave Robinson. So check that out. Mark and I will be on there very often as well. So yeah, shout out to the app team, Dave, Cam, William, and soon to be Kayla. And I'm so blessed that I have so many amazing people that I get to work with. And then our customers, man,

Mark has attracted the most amazing. We had 200 certified coaches, you know, Seth Godin, the great marketing author, he wrote this very short blog post years ago. And it said, choose your customers first because you're going to serve your customers. Those are the people you have to serve. If you hate your customers, guess what? You're going to hate your life. We love these people. These are people that could sit in this room right now with us, and we can vibe with all of them.

So big shout out to our coaches as well. Fuck yeah, brother. Thank you so much, Adam. Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. Yeah. Thank you, Kyle, for inviting me on. Beautiful, brother. Thank you.
