If you want to pump your body and expand your mind, there's only one place to go. MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, with your hosts. Salta Stefano, Adam Schaefer, and Justin Andrews. In this episode of Mind Pump, for the first 21 minutes, me, Adam, and Justin have some lovely conversation. We talk about James Brown, the sexiest man of all time. We talk about the true story behind the inspiration to the movie Rocky. By the way, Rocky, one of the greatest love stories

ever told. You say that. You forget that Adam? We talk about the local cast of characters that live and walk around the Mind Pump Studio. They inspire me every day. In San Jose, there's some characters around here. They're pretty great.

We also talk about wearing the same thing every day. It seems like brilliant people like Dr. Dre, Mark Zuckerberg, Armani, Steve Jobs, and Sal the Stefano like to do this. Then I mentioned Four Sigma, Raishi and Chaga. Somebody asked us a question in this episode about feeling overwhelmed, and I do reference those products. You can get them at four-sigmatic. That's FOURSIGMATIC.com forward slash mine pump.

And if you enter the code mine pump, you get 15% off. And then we get into the questions. The first question was, what are some of our favorite strategies for dealing with being or feeling overwhelmed? That's a crappy feeling. Then we talk about what the effects of digestive enzymes have on protein absorption and muscle gain. Should you supplement with digestive enzymes or should you just chew

your food like an adult? Then we talk about whether or not we believe resistance training is sufficient to provide you with all of the endurance training needs you would get from cardio. Like, do you even need to do cardio or is that enough? Then the final question, what advice would we give to a very busy college student who just can't seem to find the time to work out and eat right? She's too busy with social media. That's so dick, you can't say that. That's what we think. And finally, this month, our promotion is massive, pretty much enrolling anything, and

Alright. Another good song. Oh Damn Damn it Easily the easily the sexiest man ever Ever I'm not even look I'm not even into that kind of shit but I'll tell you what this dude this dude love walks into a room and Women just it's just orgasms just yeah, just everything comes off. That is just some testosterone right there They don't make anybody like that anymore Did I love yeah, I saw like one of his last concerts, too. Did you really yeah? I was up at the did you really women Tavo?

Yeah, he just did this like Man, when was it? You saw him at Montavo too. Yeah? Toa Muntavo, yeah. He just did this like, man, when was that? You saw him at Muntavo too? Yeah. Muntavo's super intimate. It was, it was so rad. They did the whole thing with, you know, taking his cape off, and like he's dancing, and it was fucking, you know, how I got introduced to James Brown?

Watching Rocky IV. That's the first time I was a kid. Oh yeah. And I watched Rocky IV where he fights the Russian. Yeah, I think that's the first time a kid. Oh yeah, and I watch Rocky for where he fights the Russian. I think that's the first time I got it and and there's that scene right where it's the Russian who's fighting what's his name Apollo Apollo Creed. Yeah, and Apollo's retired. It comes down. It's an exhibition exhibition fight and frickin James Brown is singing. You know, do you guys have you tell me you guys have seen the

Netflix? Tell me you have seen the Netflix? Please tell me you have seen the Netflix series or a show on who the real Rocky is. I know who the real Rocky is, but I didn't see the show. Oh my God, the Brockton Blader. Dude, you need, I know all about that story. You need to why it's a story that motivated. It's a Netflix documentary.

Fuck off, what's it called? You need to, oh God, I a look this up now man I got we could train and I will watch it what a compelling we're watching it today so we have to watch it today you have to watch the bronc and bleeder was his nickname what do you tell me what you know because I want to know so I can't okay for whatever we're talking marshy on no no no no no no no so I can't I'll remember his name in a second it It'll come up to me, but he Muhammad Ali. Oh my God, I want to watch it with you. Fought this guy and it was an exhibition fight.

So it was for fun or whatever. And this guy comes out and I don't remember what round it was in, the second round or one of the early rounds. He just catches Ali with a punch and knocks him on the ground. So after that Ali was like, I'm gonna punish this, I'm gonna put him out, like this guy's trying to embarrass me.

And he proceeds to put a beating down on this man for fucking like 12 rounds, like beats his ass. But this guy won't go down. He just takes the beating and the whole crowd is just falling in love with this guy who's taking this beating. And Muhammad Ali afterwards when they interviewed him, he's like, I have never put a beating on a man like I put on that guy and he would not go down and he earned everybody's respect. So Vestus alone watched that fight and turned and it that is what

inspired the story for Rocky which by the way, even though that's awesome. Great story. So Vessus Stallone, poor, has to sell his dog because he has no money. Literally sells butt kiss his dog in Rocky. That was his actual dog. Cells his dog and puts newspapers up on his windows and his little shitty apartment, locks himself in there. And I think for three days,

then do anything, but write Rocky and then he finished it. And then of course he goes and sells, tries to sell the script but the he had to, he made, he said, if you buy the script, I have to play Rocky and everybody said, no, fuck you. Yeah. And he, but they offered him like, I don't remember like $300,000 like a tremendous amount of money. And he said, no, I have to be, so he stuck to his guns. The rest assisted, all, it's a great story all the way around, great story. Well they get into that and they kind of tell it from a different angle right there, but oh my god you got to watch, I'm trying to find the name right now.

It was the Brunxton Brawler, right? Is that what it was? No, the bleeder, bleeder, right? They call them the bleeder because everybody got into his channel, but he wouldn't get it. So it was the Brunxton bleeder. Something like that, Brunxton or Blot? Brunxton.

Brunxton, is that, that's from for where's that Bronxton right then and that I don't know what his name was the God, maybe I'm wrong Maybe I'm wrong. You're closer. I know you're close. It was something like that right. I'm gonna find it man I you know it will get it in the show notes so I will I will cuz I'm finding it right now because Chuck Webner Yes, Chuck Webner. That's the guy now look of the net 1975 was the fight. And he fell seconds short of the 15 rounds. He went almost 15 rounds with one of the greatest boxers

of all time. Okay, give me his spell his last name. W-E-P-N-E-R. P-N-E-R. Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna find it right now for a minute. Fucking great story, dude.

I recommend people read up on that whole story of how Rocky was... Yeah, watch it. You know you have to read. Just go right, watch the series is done so well. The series is done so well. It will break your heart, though. Mm. You'll break your freaking heart.

Yeah, I don't remember what is... Oh, no, sorry. The Bayon bleeder. The Bayon bleeder. Bayon bleeder. Yeah, B-A-Y-O. and an E bleeder. I'll be watching. How fucked up is that? That's your nickname. Yeah, you know and in this corner so tough iron Mike Tyson and in this corner, you know Kukka menstruator Like oh man

Kirk, come get that nickname Smith,, you know, gets knocked out easily. The eye-user. Yeah, like, why the shit? I don't know why. Last jaw-jow. Come and shoot. So, you guys want to hear some, some science? I'm about to-

Science and technology. Who's sound is Stefano? It's fun, you'll see. So, trip off this. when you guys eat aparagus, which I know you guys do, because it's good for you. You can smell it in your pee. Because it's good for you, it's got fiber, it's green.

Adam likes it, because it's in the shape of a penis, kind of, he likes those phallic symbols. What happens right after when you go urinate? Smells. You smell it, right? So trip off this, I thought, now some people, they don't smell, you know, they don't have that smell. And I thought it was because genetically speaking,

some people just don't produce chemistry. They don't produce the, whatever the angel is. That probably pairs with that, that makes it smell that way. And the smell, I believe the name of the thing. Is it a ammonium kind of smell? No, it's actually called like a sparigocelus, or something named after sparigocelus. It's some compound that makes your piece smell.

But so here's what trimmy out. It's not just that. They think that there may be a genetic variant where people, their piece still smells, they just can't smell it. So that that their penis and smell. It just don't smell it. It's that they maybe can't smell it. There was actually a study

Well, back up here. So you mean to tell me that there is actually a little bit of a debate I've been reading up on this because I was at a party so that the idea is that your pee smells all the time But because you had the asparagus something in the sparrows allows you to smell it now No, no, no, no, no, no, no Everybody's people can't smell that it smells. Yeah, so whatever's in your pee that makes it smell. In other words, everybody's pee smell. Everybody knows it's, like some people don't,

some people just can't smell it. And then there's another theory, and they've done studies on this, which is funny, that some people's pee may be not smell. Why does that require a study? I feel like all I need is someone like you to deny that your pee is smell. And then I come smell your pee when you're pee

No, you're wrong. No, you're wrong Study science over yeah, does your guys this pee smell when you eat a spare? Yes, everybody I haven't met anybody who's pee doesn't smell I feel like this same study could apply to these people with bad breath that like like talk to you And they don't realize it and you're like listen you fucking stink. I can you ever smell your own breath though Yes, yes sometimes you can smell your own breath. I can taste it. I would give her To your hand doesn't work. Oh my god. It works. Those are really yes, cuz then you smell you just smell your hand check yourself What if you wash your hands and it smells like you know, well, yeah smell your hand if you just used to your own brand smell your hand first

Make sure it doesn't smell like shit and then blow it Because if your hands was like dog shit and then you blow in your head you will smell Don't tone people their hand smells and I smack them. Yeah cuz it's like right here. You're just a mean You just a fucking child is a big bully. Yeah, all the time can't help it. Who does that? Well, you're kind of a bully too. You know that's bad as Justin. You're like different levels of bullying. I'm not a bully I say what's on my mind you you yank me with the band until I fell that was buddy is a is That was a war a bully. That was real funny. It was actually hilarious. I think I gotta ask 10 and then that night I lit a couple like a voodoo calendar can't can't do excuse me to get some karma to come back

And then it's weird that you fell off the the ladder the other day Wow, I feel like I can't, can't, excuse me, to get some karma to come back. And then it's all over. You fell off the ladder the other day. Wow. I feel like, I keep saying that he's anything I push them off. Do you see Taylor starting to make a series on the Mindput Media Instagram of like the people that come in and do their makeup and stuff on the mirror windows?

Oh yeah. Because a lot of times when he's working, people come over and somebody, did you see the one he did yesterday? I'm waiting for someone to like, like scratch their junk or something in front of them. Cause we have, the listeners don't know, our facility, our media facility is on,

it's like a storefront on a very busy part of San Jose and we didn't plan it that way because we're not a public, we don't, nobody's coming in off the streets to come into our business, it's all just for media. That's the reason why we put mere tent windows. And so, but with the space was perfect. So we're like, fuck it, let's get it.

And then we put mere tent because we don't want people to know that we're here. You know, I mean, people like picking their nose and scratching themselves and doing all kinds of weird stuff. It's like, come on. You know, I think some of you are excited. Have you guys seen the, we have like, there's like characters that I see every single day that are around here. Yeah, so I'll name one. Let's see if you guys can name some others

Okay, there's the old dude that rides his bike with the worst posture of ever seen in my entire life Have you seen him? Yeah, you haven't seen him. He's like ready to like snap in half. It's been over He's he's at least I'm not exaggerating, 175 years old. He's super old. That's what his posture says. Super old, he's right now. He's probably closer to like 90. He's very old guy, so Kudos to him for being active.

He rides a bike back and forth, at least twice every day. And he's extremely hunched over on his bike. And he just cruisesed over on his bike and he just he just cruises by at a decent speed. And then there's my favorite, which is the homeless guy with zero fuck shirt. He found the trash. It's just love it, it's so appropriate. He's like, he's like, he's walking around zero fucks.

He's actually wearing a bike pump. Yes, where did he get it? Like, we threw out a bunch of shit. Did we? Yes, like, I was trying to clean the closet. And so I think he just like found it in the dumpster. Oh, that's why he got it. I was wondering.

I thought maybe that's my theory. Why is there a fuck? Why, maybe Goodwill or something like that? I mean, come on, it's a shirt we've had around for a couple of years. I think, they could have put it in there. I've done a couple goodwill runs already. I'm sure there's some zero fuck shirts in there. Maybe, you know, but like more than likely, I think.

He went to our dumpster, because he's local. Oh, that makes way more sense now. I see the same guy that chills on the lawn over at the church. Maybe, they, man, when we went over there to shoot a couple videos for Axel and a member, they got so mad at me. Like I was like- The homestead? Interrupting their environment, you know?

Yeah, they got like really mad. They've got it. It's actually, I told you guys a story. I almost got in a frickin' rumble. And when I say rumble, I mean, like there was one homestead that I had to take his boxed wine to get him to move because he was- Right, you were like sitting on your backpack, right? Yeah, on our back.

But then he like, he like went and called the artillery. Like all of a sudden he comes back and those guys, his homies come by. There's a good like seven homeless dudes and I didn't feel threatened because they're all, you know, obviously they're all malnourished. But they, you know, you don't want to tussle with a, you know what I mean? You know, we were debating who's tussle with a, you know what I mean?

You know, we were debating who's more of a good friend, but you were I, and I feel like you just stepped up. You've been in a fight or almost in a fight with two homeless people. I've never fought any homeless people, bro. That's fucked up. I didn't get in a fight, but I had to defend. I mean, I was the one that pushes you over

as the big guy. I wasn't picking a fight dude. I was literally defending. I'm giving them shirts You know, I mean yeah, zero fucks. Yeah anybody else you guys recognize from the neighborhood that you see I just see Lots of crossfitters running around in circles carrying stuff over their head with tall socks. Yeah, that's it We that's a lot of that stylists too that those are the ones that come and do their makeup and hair stuff like this guy

Oh, cuz there's a salon above us So that makes more sense now. Yeah, we have enough stairs that he's real, you know, making sure like every little detail on his face is The appropriate the feminine Asian guy a bit. Yeah, that's okay. There's a regular guy. There's a regular I haven't seen him. There's a Asian guy that's probably in his early 20s and he has... He really takes care of himself. He's got feminine mannerisms and he checks his hair in his face every day in there. And our mirror and our windows? Yeah.

Oh, shit, I haven't seen him. Yeah. He's one of my favorites because he gets really expressed. We've got a very eclectic neighborhood because then you've got down the street, the restaurant that we go all the time, Luna. They're great. They've got the regular characters. Then the owner over there, very, very pretty older woman.

She might be, might be trying to talk to our marketing dude. Might, you know, have a thing. We can totally put him on the glass because he never listens. Hey, Taylor, that's what you get for not fucking listening. Hey bro, you're gonna be part of this company huh? Let me just, let me just give you advice bro. She'll wreck you. You be careful.

Pull that long hair. Weasemite you. And then there's the guy's man bud. She'll grab you by your man bud. She'll grab you by the man bud. Shred him across the floor. After she's done giving him a little bottle. Braided. Did you see the picture that Justin did of Taylor?

Because I told him when he was shooting quite a couple of days ago, he had that he had a big beanie on and he had the he had the Capri pants on with the white kind of sure. Yeah, like just a Hayes playing white shirt or whatever. Holly would get. Yeah, I was like, oh god, look at it. Look at our artistic. He looks like, get a picture of Justin a picture of him and then he put him holding a...

Bro, you should connect Super and Puzz the most perfect little like... It looks like he was holding it. Yeah, I bet you most people thought he was holding that. I was thinking he was holding it. You need to connect him with your boy, Wally. The two of them could trade fashion. Right?

Secret sense. The marriage made in heaven right there. Yeah, I can start wearing a hat. Yeah, he wears some skirts and some, Wally, the two of them could trade fashion. Right. Secret. It's an average made in heaven right there. Yeah, I guess start worrying about it. You wear some skirts and some, you know, they're bullshit. That's a thing, I guess, huh? Or is it just Wally that wears a stuff? It's not a thing.

It's not just a thing. It's definitely not a thing. Well, what is a thing is we are, we are as in the three of us, are out of style, and everything. We are out of style. I'm in classic style mode. It's the fucking first D-shirt, zero fucks.

So what I'm doing now is I'm trying to, I have a new style strategy. I'm gonna show my God, I wanna hear this. Yes, please show this. Let me see you guys. A K-O-A. First of all, I'm fit and healthy, so I plan on living at least till 80,

hopefully I can live till 80. I'm gonna wear the same shit until then at some point it's gonna be in style so there will be a period of time when I'm in style. There is a good chance that that's my gamble. There's a good chance of that. It would suck if it never goes. It will go in your direction. You're how mad I'll be when I'm 80 and I'll be. Yeah but the problem is this guy's like you guys like you would end up happening as you get older your memory right you start to get these gaps where then you start blending something that was cool in the 80s,

something that was cool in the 90s, and then you're all over the place. Yeah, your shit might come around, but only half your outfits put together because it's like, okay, well, it still has to be organized to that one style. You don't even have that. Yes, it's like, you look like in the 80s,

the 80s rape the 90s and then shout out the 2000s Like that's a great and shit like we put that together. It wasn't even consensual Horrible. Yeah, it's like well. I think so when I watch nightmare when I watch that series The the fuck I can't remember the name but with the one with dr. Dre on Netflix the One fine one. Thank you. And did you guys know dr. Dre will watched it. Dr. Rate, he wears the same thing every day. Same shirt. I mean, he wears the same shoes, but he wears the same thing. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Okay, set on it. Hold on, hold on. He said on the fucking documentary. I wear the same thing every day. That's what I'm gonna do. I want it, like, for the most part, I wear this stuff. I'm gonna get it. That's all I want to do. I want to wear one fucking same pair of jeans that look cool,

but I'll own like 15 of them. Same shirt, same shoes, looks cool. Just wear them every fucking day. Don't have to worry about anything. And you know what that's gonna work if you're Dr. Dre or if you're Steve Jobs. Well, and it can wear a Steve Jobs jacket. It's all these smart people. And it can do. Don't let him fool you either. Now, if you looked at his shoes, his socks, the pants he's wearing, the belt he's got with it, like he's got the whole ensemble though. Don't just because it's all black so go ahead bro be it's easy to pick all one color you can do that but he's still in style like still to let it fool you there's still thought put into the suit the shoes the socks the jeans like a guarantee

don't think for a second the fucking first million I make I'm literally gonna I'm gonna hire a stylist and be like I want one outfit your wardrobe is gonna be all the same. That I can wear all the time. I guarantee that, imagine that if you wake up, you know what the word? That black t-shirt, that black t-shirt pants shoes, that get up he's wearing. I guarantee you from everything from his, his wrist game,

his shirt, that's a $20,000 to $40,000 ensemble. Yeah. Between the clothes, the watch, everything is all his, all his whole ensemble is 20, so there's nothing simple about that all black outfit. I'm off of that Yeah, you just got to figure out what that it like that one like super power You know to do right you know you haven't figured it out yet God There's all these look I just googled it and it's like here's an article the men powerful enough to wear the same thing every day

See it's that ice cube was the the same thing every day. See? It's an ice cube, where's the same fucking thing every day? Mark Zuckerberg, where's the same shit every day? Come on, come on, Zuckerberg, you're gonna try, look like Zuckerberg. Armani, where's the same thing every day? Wow, I'm reading the list of people. That's probably costly food. What's it look like though?

I don't give a fuck, what do I say, same thing? Well, if it's all in stuff, No, no, you have to give a fuck, what it looks like. Okay, here's what he wears. Here's what Armani, is anybody gonna argue with me right now that our money doesn't know what the fuck He's doing what's anybody? Okay, I thought it's I thought navy blue silk t-shirt cashmere sweater Maybe blue suit. I don't go fuck bro. Hold on navy blue drawstring pants and white sneakers. Mm-hmm. That's it Yeah, that's it every day Every day that's how much'm gonna go swimming in that.

I'm gonna hire a stylist to do a one-off I'll brought you by our money. So, it's gonna be a half-branding here. I kinda do wear the same thing every day though, let's be honest, I'm almost there. Close. I'm halfway there. I think you look sharp.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I think you look sharp. Thank you. Doug, bring on the sharp bird, please. This quas brought to you by Organify.

Alright, a first question is from Larry Jansen. What are your favorite strategies for dealing with being overwhelmed at both physically and in business life? Ha, overwhelmed. Like you're taking too much on.

You just feel like there's just too much shit going on. What's funny about this is every single time I've been in a situation like this, because it's happened to me quite a bit in the recent past because I've dealt with a divorce moving to a new place, organizing kids' schedule, building a business, and it's just like, you feel like you can't, just too much shit, I can't handle everything, and then what happens is you feel like shutting down, like I'm just not doing anything. And he, this sounds very simple, but no joke, it works. You just start writing a list.

It's actually sound stupid, and I was super reluctant to do it because it sounds so simple But when I did it when I wrote a list out of the important things I need to do and then just went down the list check by check You get a feeling of like relaxation almost because that's all it is simplified Yeah, the feeling of being overwhelmed Many times just comes from the sense of being unorganized It's not necessarily that there's, yes, you have a lot to do, but the fact that you don't know what to do first and how to do it is what gives you that overwhelmed.

Well, I think you guys also brought up minimalism, the minimalism, like a documentary a long time ago. And me and my wife actually watched that a couple weeks ago and it really did sort of resonate and strike a chord with me as far as like just the organization of my house, the organization of my clothes, you know, the certain things that I'm into and then really trying to hone in on, you know, what, what its purpose is in my everyday process because if there's too many things and I just even visually, if I'm seeing too many things

like bringing this kind of like chaotic feeling, you know, why, why not just get rid of it, you know, just simplify, simplify everything. And then once I started doing that, because I mean, I was doing, you know, I was trying to launch this product, I was trying to, you know, try and deal with stuff for my pump in the business,

and then, you know, the kids and schedule in soccer and taking all these things on. And it's just like, man, you just feel that. You feel all that just slowly creep up, creep up. And so yeah, just taking massive action to simplify things and prioritize things for sure. I smoke a joint and go to the movies. There you go. So, you know, you had a meth, you had a meth, let's unpack that, right?

I think you're, I think you're both right. I think that the feeling of being overwhelmed, most times is just your perception, right? It's that you've got so much on your mind or you've got this huge project that just feels overwhelming and that's that's your perception of it Is it really is at the end of life? Is it a big and so we're staging you laugh and you say that but I'm dead serious like this is a something That happens in my life on a fairly regular basis. So I'm not smoking getting high and going in the movies every day obviously But I mean a true feeling of overwhelm which which 100% I can relate to this feeling,

and I think everybody in this room has felt that before. If you're a grinder, go getter, like somebody who's after doing a lot in your life, it's inevitable on this feeling will probably happen. But when it does, I know that that's because I'm so attached to whatever it is that I'm hyper focused on that's causing this feeling of being overwhelmed.

And so literally, I'll be overwhelmed with work. I'll have all this stress that's going on. If it gets to that point where I actually think it's overwhelming and I feel that, which is rare, but does happen, I would say probably four to six times a year for me. And when that happens, I literally stop in my day, it could be a Tuesday at noon,

and I will literally stop working, stop, whatever is making me feel overwhelmed. I'll go smoke a joint, I'll go watch a movie all by myself of the theater. And what that is, if you unpack it and you really think about why that's magical for me, is it allows me to detach from this thing that is causing this or making me feel overwhelmed

and it gives me a new perspective on things and I love to watch a movie so maybe it's not a movie for you and maybe you don't smoke weed so don't I'm not advocating smoking weed those two things allow me to detach from everything else I like to be entertained by something that doesn't make me have to think all time where I'm constantly reading, I'm constantly watching documentaries, I'm constantly doing business stuff, I'm constantly grinding and working so watching a mindless comedy or a movie that doesn't make my brain turn a million miles an hour causes me to really detach from that and it gives me perspective on other things and I normally walk out of the movie laughing and enjoying and realizing, oh my God, I just had two hours

of not thinking about that stuff. It's really not that big of a deal. I'm allowing this thing to make me feel overwhelmed. Does that make sense? Yes, and I mean, the thing you wanna consider with the feeling of being overwhelmed is that it is a symptom of anxiety. It's a feeling.

So things that can reduce anxiety can help quite a bit with the feeling of being overwhelmed, like Adam's saying. Like for him, he found something that works that gets him to feel, you know, reduce that sense of anxiety. And then, because if you've ever suffered from any type of anxiety, which if you're human, you have, everybody has.

You know that you're human, you have, everybody has. You know that you're far less effective. So if you have 15 things you need to do today, but you feel anxious about it, which translates into feeling overwhelmed, you become very inefficient at doing those things and you can't get anything done, you tend to freeze up, you tend to not do anything, and then you go to the next day and out piles on piles onto the next day. So techniques to reduce anxiety are definitely a good part of the process.

Something I've recently been using quite a bit is the mushroom rayishi. Rayishi does produce a calming effect in the body, both acutely and chronically. In other words, if you use it on a regular basis, there seems to be this cumulative effect where it just starts to work better and better. But you also get an acutifact. If you were to take Ray's she mushroom now, and you're feeling anxious, you're likely to feel a little bit of, you know, relief.

Passion flower is something else that you can use. Chaga is another mushroom that I've used or recommended now to clients. We have a good sponsorship of Forcigmatic now, so now I'm recommending more of those mainly because I see all effective there and I'm familiar with the science, but Yeah, my wife's been using the Rays she, and yeah, and that's been helping. Cause we've both kind of gone through these spells together of, you know, like going through this anxiety and like it got to a point where it became really physical, you know, and like I actually went to the hospital,

like she like had, you know, a physical reaction. And you know, this is something that we quickly realize like we were just letting this happen based off of like our day to day like habits and we were just taking everything on, taking all this kind of stress on in, you know, so she's been working with that. I've been working with, you know, my posture and the way that I'm just focused more on breathing

and just opening myself. So I've noticed, you know, with just the way that you carry yourself, a lot of times even with the posture, if you're not getting a nice deep breath throughout your day, I mean, you just, I mean, that compiles in over the next day and the next day, all of a sudden now I'm like, I'm really like, you know, tensing up, and I'm keeping a lot of this needless stress and it's turning into anxiety, which bleeds into like the overwhelm feeling. Like, all of a sudden now, like all these things matter so much,

and I'm taking on this, you know, like this feeling towards it. And I like what you said about the minimalist attitude. Like, there's so much shit that we do and have that contributes to our anxiety that we don't need to have. It is, you know, a wonderful of a feeling it is to come to terms with the fact that you don't need a lot of shit and you end up not getting a lot of shit and now you're just like, well, I feel like so much better. I realized that I didn't need

that stuff. I don't have less clutter, less things to worry about. Things are more simple and I'm focusing on the things that are important. But at the end of the day, there may be some root causes to this feeling of anxiety and overwhelm, and that's just that you're fucking busy. There's a lot of shit going on. The organizing tasks and putting them in order

of priority and when to finish them and how to do them is a fantastic method of making yourself more efficient. You go to any company, any business, and this is one of the basic things that they do. You can't just go somewhere and say, okay, here's what we're going to accomplish. That could be a bad thing, too, though, tracking your food with what we talk about. There's pluses and minuses to that, right? Do you think that becoming over organized? And so-

Oh yeah, it's called OCD. Oh yeah. And I think there's, I think you have to, I think you have to preface that a bit or give that warning with that is that, you know, hey, getting more organized can help this situation, but it can also make it worse. Yeah, you could, if you, I mean,

you could sit there and become, OCD about everything to the point where then that creates anxiety for you, absolutely. But like, you know, when I have my kids, like I know what time I wake up, I know the order of things that I do in the morning so that they have their lunch ready, so that I can check their homework.

So I have time to do my meditation, my workout, then I know what time I wake them up, walk them to school, and it's just the structure that I create that, it alleviates a lot of that sense of anxiety and overwhelming in the morning because I know the times I'm gonna accomplish these different things and what I'm gonna do, and it's like no problem,

like everything's thought out and processed, and so it really does make a big difference. The hard thing is when you're in this state of mind, when you're sitting there feeling like, fuck, I can't finish everything. There's too much stuff to do. And someone comes to you and says, hey, make a list.

Like you wanna punch them in the face. Like that was my response. Like what are you talking about? Like I don't wanna do that. And it's like, you have to understand that your reluctance to do that is just the reflection of your anxiety. Literally just relax with that whole,

like I don't wanna make a list and just write a list. Because almost like you don't wanna see what's on the list. I know that's how I feel. I don't wanna write this because then I gotta look at all this shit that I gotta do. It's almost like I'm trying to run away from it, which you can't. So, just calm yourself down, write that thing out,

write that list out, start knocking things off your list, after about two or three of them, and you'll feel so much better. Right, history. Quick commercial break, you guys. We keep getting asked all the time, how can I support the mind pump family? Here's one of the best ways you guys can.

That's something that when you have somebody who's, oh, this is why we talk about protein absorption with the oversaturating by consuming 200, 300, 400 grams of protein, no one really takes an account too, like the digestive enzymes play a factor in this, and that's an important part of it. And if you're consuming so much meat, so much protein, and you're not getting enough foods that have enough digestive enzymes, you're also hindering that whole process too.

Nobody really talks about this. No, you are. And the one single thing you can do to optimize your digestive enzymes more than anything else, naturally, is to thoroughly chew your food. That right there will signal your, first of all, there's enzymes in your saliva, which start to break down food. People don't realize that chewing your food

is digesting your food. You have started the digestive process. If you don't chew your food properly, you're skipping a step. It would be like taking my food and skipping the stomach part and just going straight to the eye. Which I don't think I would talk about this as much as I would now that we've experienced this personally.

It's a fucking game changer. It was something that I had never had thought ever to even try. Like, I'm gonna try and eat a meal. In fact, I had a cousin of mine who's up in Seattle who messaged me that episode where we talked about that was like a game changer for, she's like, I've never tried to eat food before without fluid. Like, it's just, it's so in our culture.

Yeah. It's so in our culture to the point where how many times have you been pissed off at a restaurant because someone hasn't refilled your fucking soda or your drink fast enough? Isn't that so crazy? The most simple things like that and like fasting and like, you know, just stepping away from food for a minute. It's like, it just seems like, no, that's too obvious. These are just small things,

but they have such a massive impact when you implement them day after day. Well, dude, it's crazy. And I don't eat every meal just so you know, going forward, I don't eat every meal with no fluid. It's just, I did that, so it gave me a new perspective of how I was consuming my food. And that was what, that was the takeaway for me.

And so I think that is what I've been trying to teach and tell people. I'm not saying like, I don't tell people like, Hey, don't ever have fluids. And then whatever. You know, I'm saying when you're when you're eating food, I say, try and eat a meal without it and pay attention to the way you chew. Yeah. It's interesting. Yeah.

Cause the, I mean, the fast food culture, I mean, we've been like trying to engineer this, this process to speed up and get back to work You know like everybody has this like massive hustle in their mentality with like their lunch breaks and all these kinds of things And they're just you know scarfing it in as quick as possible It's a very it's a very when you really think about it. It is a very interesting strange You know poor connection to food and eating. Let me explain. If I, let's say you're looking at a burger

and you're like, fuck, I wanna eat that burger so bad, it looks so delicious. And I say, hey, let me blend that burger up and inject it directly into your stomach so you can have it. Would you wanna do that? No, because you didn't experience it, right? It's in your belly, but you didn't get to chew it

and experience it. And yet, you taste it for like a second. And yet, what do people do when they eat something they really want to eat? They scarf it the fuck down. Like all they're trying to do is get it and their stomach as fast as possible. That is not a natural thing that we're doing.

That is something that is learned and taught. It's a compulsion. It's a compulsion. Because honestly, if you really want to enjoy your food, you chew it and you taste it because that's the part that you enjoy. It's not about getting it and you're stomach is coming from the process. Don't you, don't you take a digestive enzyme? No, I only date, so I have digestive enzymes that I will take with me on trips when I'm

eating foods that contain gluten or some dairy, like lactase, for example. Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose in dairy, and I am not only am I, do I have an issue with milk proteins, but I also don't break down lactose very well. So I'll take that, and some of the enzymes in there will help a little bit with gluten,

which I tend to have a little bit of an issue with, although these days, it seems like I can eat gluten. A couple of times a week and not have a problem, because I've done so. This is why I wanted to bring this question up too, because I knew that you did use that, and I do know that as far as supplementing

with digestive enzymes, it typically is most beneficial for people to have like irritable bowel syndrome or have... If you have tummy issues like you. If you have gut issues, if you have acid reflux by the way acid reflux and gird and all that it's not the result of too much acid it's the result of having too little acid in your stomach and you're as a and you're also probably deficient or not producing enough enzymes again if you

look at studies even people with heartburn, aside from eliminating certain foods that are triggers, chewing you food thoroughly solves that problem for a fucking big chunk of people with those problems. Same thing with the preaching of the choir over there. And you know what's funny, talking about that, like if you had told me five years ago to do that, I would say no, it's not possible because then I'll choke on my food

because I have this one big tonsil. That's bullshit. I don't do it anymore. I don't need fluid and I just chew. So funny. It's such an argument I see is because I totally had a problem like choking like and I didn't realize that like it was my it was the amount of like I just wouldn't chew enough like I would just eat and they just eat like big chunks and just swallow it and then we're trying and wash it down. And the process was all about trying to wash it down and pack it down in there. Well, you think about all of us went through that

at one point, we were all trying to gain weight to get build, build a big process. And like when you think, I can recall many times shoveling shakes down and I remember having a 800 calorie protein shake while I had my meal and I would take a bite and wash it down with the shake, and literally just swallow it all.

Not even really chewing if it's not. So think about what you're taking. Right, right. So it's not that sticky with it. But I know there's gotta be younger guys and maybe even girls that are trying to build and add calories to their diet. I would say unless you're on the extreme ends of the spectrum,

even then, I don't know if it's necessary to give you a benefit to supplement with digestive enzymes. See, here's the thing with digestive enzymes. We know what they do, right? They break down protein into amino acids, your body can now utilize the protein, whatever. So supplement companies taking this next step and say, oh, this is going to make you

utilize more protein, more effectively, more efficiently. You can shovel more protein. For the most part, unless again, you have issues with your with your gut, especially if you have bad issues like Crohn's disease or you've been diagnosed with really bad acid reflux, you're producing all the enzymes you need, just eat properly and chew your food well, and you're gonna have them all. Well, and most liver diseases and other ones. Most protein shakes and some of that put digestive enzymes in.

So, that sounds cool. Right. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, when you're, that's probably the, a shake is probably what you would need the least amount of digestive enzymes considering. That's already pretty much processed. It's already, it's already chewed the fuck up. They chewed it for you. They chewed the hell out of it. So, I mean, that I'll, I'll, liver disease, I think people will liver disease, age-related deficiencies in digestive enzymes, like those people might benefit.

But otherwise, I think it's so exciting. Well, I will say though, I've had clients that I think are on the, like kind of like urine where I've like just looked at their diet and looked at what kind of foods they were getting. And they just weren't getting a lot of foods that were rich in digestive enzymes, like bell peppers and different fruits

and things like that, that they'd never really got that in their rotation. And yet they, their stomach always felt backed up or weird. And by me helping them just adding those foods into their diet, they felt relieved there. So I do think if you're somebody, I don't think there's a need to supplement for it unless you have a specific issue like a, like a Irino Balicin Drone where actually you know you've been diagnosed with tummy issues like so. Another one you could look at too for digestion is,

so a lot of people have issues with, like we're talking about digestive issues and they have two little, they produce two little acid. One of the things you can do, you can actually buy a HCL supplement, which is, I believe it's hydrochloric acid, if I'm not, or no, betaine hydrochloride, which will increase the amount of hydrochloric acid in your stomach.

So for some people, they can do this when they eat a lot of meat, because you'll see people like people with acid reflux, they'll say, oh my god, when I eat a lot of meat, I just get this really bad, you know, and it's because, again, they're not producing enough acid. They can supplement with this and it helps. Mike Salami is the one that introduced me to this and Paul Chex talks about this as well that this supplement may help some people. So just a little side note. Next up is Glenn SPT.

Do you guys believe that resistance training is sufficient for maintaining cardiovascular health or that some sort of aerobic exercise should exist week to week. If so, how would you incorporate aerobic exercise into a maps program? I do with a good diet. Yeah, oh, totally.

If you eat well and you train and you phase and you have like our phase four of fucking a map screen in there, occasionally like you should, like I mean, I think you get, I think you get any cardio in that face. Right. You know what I love about resistance training? Is that you can, you can, if you know how to use weights

properly, you can do anything with them. This is not true with other methods of exercise. Like I'm not gonna get good strength with cardiovascular activity. It's gonna be very, very, very, very, I'll get a little bit, but very difficult. Yeah, a little bit like sprinting when you're running or something, but like even then, yeah.

The gains are minimal. I could take someone, I could take two groups of people and one group, you know, and the goal is to improve cardiovascular endurance for particular sport or activity. And on the one, one group over here is, okay, all you get to do is cardio. And on the other group is it all you get to do is use weights, and then I program the weights.

I'll build way better cardio with the weight group by having them do things like circuits and high intensity interval type training with actually participating. Actually, me and Adam filmed a whole series. It's getting edited right now on YouTube on that. So, for cardiovascular health, you don't need to have extreme amounts

of cardiovascular performance. For health, you just't need to have extreme amounts of cardiovascular performance. For health, you just need to move every day. If you walk every single day and you stay active, you're done. That's what you have. Now, if you want a little bit more endurance, you can definitely get that through programming your resistance training in a way that you're going to aim for endurance like we said with circuits or you can do some cardio. The way that I have people program cardio and their maps programs is typically first I tell them to increase their their knee their. You know non exercise you know activity thermogenesis just being active.

And then if they want to add cardio I'll tell me no problem 30 minutes three days a week just if you enjoy doing it for your health, get on a machine and go forward or go outside. And that's pretty much it. If you want to improve... Yeah, that's just scheduled activity. Yeah, you know, that's all cardio is. Like, it waits to me feels like a lot more specific, like, to, you know, I have totally different ways to adapt, you know adapt to these types of loads that I'm placing on my body and my joints. So there's just so much benefit to that when I'm going to grab something, lift something, do strenuous activity, I want to be strong. That's always been something, an adaptation I need to maintain and to keep that going

into as I get older especially right I feel like people are always finding like different ways to ask us questions about cardio because they want it so bad right and I feel like there's nothing wrong with doing it. No exactly. No, this is what I want to state is that listen, none of us here and I joke about saying know, no cardio or I don't do cardio. I'm a little bit more, yeah, I do. Yeah, I do. I'm allergic to it, blah, blah, blah, blah. At the end of the day, like if it's something you enjoy and you love and it helps you stay

in shape and healthy, I'm not knocking that on the way. What I'm talking to is our experience and all the people that we've trained and I'm looking at as a whole, the relationship that most people have with cardio and training that way is not a healthy one and they don't fully understand one, how to use it properly and then two, how to really maximize it for their purpose and their goal. That's not your fat burning go to. Yeah, exactly. And, you know, when it's, if your goal is to, you know, burn fat, stay in shape, there's

a much better way about it and a better strategy if that's the case. And I'm more in that like, okay, let me show you and teach you that. And then you can play with it how you want. But if you're somebody who really enjoys just getting on a treadmill and running or taking off for a run and that's your thing

and you don't have a lot of imbalances and it's not causing pain in your body to do that, then by all means, fucking run and you think. I made this statement on another podcast and I wanna say to gang, so I wanna hammer it home, okay? Every extra amount or every all the extra time that you devote to cardio, that's above and beyond improving your health,

just cardio, extra health. So now I'm pushing my cardio, I'm pushing it a little bit. Every single bit of that is telling your body to become more efficient with activity and calories. AKA slow down your metabolism. So the more cardio you apply, that's beyond just your overall health, but you don't need much for overall health.

The more you apply, the more your body is gonna try to become more efficient by slowing its metabolism down. So if you're a six days a week, you know, 45 minutes a cardio, an hour a cardio, a day person, you are telling your body very loudly, hey man, slow down your metabolism, become more efficient because you're burning all these calories manually so that I can become better at doing the 60 minutes of cardio every single day. And that's, again, if you just love doing it, go for it. It's great.

There's health benefits to moving all the time also. But if you don't, you may find yourself in a situation where now you're stuck having to do that. And as soon as you go on vacation for two weeks, you stop doing that cardio. And boom, you gain a bunch of weight because your metabolism is adapted in that direction. So that you gain a bunch of weight because your metabolism is adapted in that direction. So that's really why one of the main reasons why resistance training, why we think it's so superior because the problems with the modern lifestyle have to do with

over-consumption and not burning enough calories and resistance training keeps your metabolism fast or at least tells your body it's okay to burn more calories, because we need muscle. So it's just directly combats modern health problems. Cardio, definitely a part of health, definitely good for you, but you overdo it, and you're kind of pushing, putting yourself down in a hole.

I mean, you get more than enough when you get through phase four of maps green, for sure. I mean, the end of the question was, how would we incorporate this into maps program? This is what I would do. If I had all thes programs, which is a year's worth of personal training all program and lined out for me and it's ideal for you to cycle through all of them, right? If we're looking for overall health, being in shape, performance, everything just overall, it's there, right? That's do not deviate, follow it from point A, point B all the way through with whatever little modifications that you'd like to do for exercises, things here and there, but for the most part, you're

sticking to it to a T. And then I'm going to use my cardio, based off of the events throughout the year. So let's say, guess what? In four weeks, I'm going to Vegas. So you know what? I'm going to add some cardio into my life for the next four weeks, and I'm going to do it strategically. So I'm not going to go pause the wall the first week. I'm going to do two or three days of the week, I'm going to add it strategically. So I'm not going to go pause the wall the first week. I'm going to do two or three days of the week coming at some cardio in there in addition to everything else I was already doing. And then the next week coming at a little bit more

and then maybe pick up my intensity the next week of that. Maybe add a little bit more and intensity the week after that. And then guess what? I'm there. Now I'm in Vegas and I'm in the best shape. And because I added it like that, my body responded and it changed. And it got me in better shape, just sticking to everything else

that I was doing just by adding it to help lean me out or get me in shape like that. Or let's say I'm, you know, now it's October, the Spartan Championship races, and I'm into obstacle course racing. And I said, you know what, fucking sign me up to obstacle course racing. I don't care to win.

I just wanna do it with my buddies. I still care more about my muscle building program on going through right now. I'm going to incorporate a cardio program to help train me for getting ready for that, which is I'm going to over a probably a nine week or so intermittently. Build up your conditioning.

Yeah, it's all scheduled out. And I think it's great to have that, you know, applied to your programming as long as there's a specific goal in mind. And you have a healthy mentality towards it. Like you're, you're phasing it in and you're, you know, you just really liked to include, you know, having that, that sort of what a lot of people call in shape kind of feeling, right? Because you feel like you can endure, you know, some of these workouts even better and you just have more stamina, but that's up to you.

That's something that's a fuel thing, but definitely it's not the fat burning mechanism. It's not the go-to, I have to accomplish my treadmill work every single day. That's a mentality that we're trying to combat with our message. But commercial break, hey, people ask us all the time how they can support MindPump. Here's what you can do.

Oh, I love this question. I wish you could see the first half of my time on the hard drive. I heard that question. But you're still eating though, right? Yeah. So, you know, I get to see what your Instagram page looks like and you have, let's

see, a thousand followers and tons, tons of time spent posting selfies. You know, the average, oh snap. The average person, especially in this age group, spends hours a day on social media, hours a day. This, you know, when I hear people say to me, the average is two and a half to four hours. Yeah, so when I hear people say to me like, I don't have time. This is day, I don't have time.

2.5 to four hours every day. That is such an odd average. Well, when I hear people say, I don't have the time to like work out and you know, eat healthy. I have, look, I've been in fitness for 20 years. I've never met anybody, ever who legit, legit, does not have time to make, you know, to place health as a priority.

And again, it's not about finding time. It's about making time. You can make time. Call it busy college student. You have more time, typically, you have more available time to you now than you will when you're 35 married with kids and working. I'm gonna study that right now Well if you find it hard to fucking work out and he right now you're being gonna have Here's what I okay, and it sounds beat you up I'm probably gonna sound like I'm beating you up here too, so but I don't I don't mean I'm gonna be the nice guy I well can't do it. Well here's my train. I have trained he thought about it

And then he's like nah, you know, I gotta go back to my comfort zone. I've trained a lot of 20 to 25 year old cute college girls. Oh, really? Yeah, absolutely. It happens to be my wheelhouse, a lot of attraction. You know what I mean? Whoa. So that would have said on your website.

Yes, it's specializing. It's 20 to 20 year old. 20 to 25 year old sorority girls to do that. I merely cheerleaders. So I mean, I'm assuming she's somewhere in that age. She's very pretty girl and she's in pretty good shape already. And and this is a conversation that I normally have with it's along the lines of where Sal was just going right now is that listen,

it's we all and you if you have pretty good genetics and you're cute, you can get by all the way to about 26 years old. So at that, there's a lot of signs of the pin just dropped out there. From 20 to 20, because you have good genetics, because you're pretty good looking, you can drink on weekends, you can occasionally go for a run or exercise every now and then or dance a lot at the club. Like all these thing burns. Just do Pilates like once. And you can maintain a decent physique where you have no problem attracting the opposite

sex whatsoever and you're having a good time. And you know you should probably work out because everyone's telling you that you like this mind pump podcast. These guys tell you to work out. But it's not really a priority. Which is, that's fine because two each is their own. If college time party have fun is the priority and that's all you care about, that's okay. But if you're asking a question on here and you really want to get in shape and you want to eat health and you want to do it, then you'll fucking do it. You'll make it a priority. It's okay if you do and it's okay if you don't, but I will tell you

this, that this and this will happen if you do not learn and you don't put like some practice or put some sort of regimen together on what it takes to get you in whatever the best shape of your life looks like. And you don't know what it takes. And you've, because you've never put yourself through that. And you don't, you don't start exploring that until you get to the age that's sourcing, which is, this is very common. We've dealt with, I've dealt with hundreds of these,

where, you know, a woman hires me at 32 to 35 years old, and she's been married and she's had three kids now. I've had a lot of work. And now, that's your real life. And now she is. I get the guilt. Now she's finally starting to take time for herself. And that's literally what they say.

They say that like, you know, I married and kids and, you know, finally I want to make time for myself and here I am to hire you. My job helping her out is way harder than helping somebody out who has learned all this, has put themselves in good shape and has done this before in their early 20s. So they get it, they know what it takes and they know what they need to do for their body. Then somebody who has hammered their body,

let it go to shit because they're eating like shit. They're never drinking, they're not. Yeah, and then if they've let it, to shit because they're eating like shit, they're never, they're drinking, they're not. Yeah, and then if they've let it, because that shit's compounding. And it gets 10 times harder like what's sourcing. Yeah, I'll tell you what, maybe she has the misperception that you need to work out seven days a week for an hour and a half. Because sometimes people say I don't have time.

And I think in their mind, they think they need to have, like, they need to work out every day and just live this lifestyle. That does sound like a lot, right? You don't actually, you don't need to do all that. A few days a week is all you need. Here's what I'm gonna do, because I was mean to you earlier.

So I'm gonna do it. If you listen to this episode, DM me, and I'll hook you up with maps anywhere. Maps anywhere, we designed to be with no, you do the whole program without any equipment. You don't need to go to a gym, you can do it in your dorm room, you can do it wherever. It's three foundational work,

or two foundational workouts a week and then there's AMP sessions that you can throw in whenever you want. You'll get phenomenal results on it and and it's not going to require hours and hours and hours of dedicated working out. It's just expertly programmed, and you just, that's it. I'll hook you up. So, just DM me and that's it, because that program is literally the one that we designed

specifically for people who, you know, legitimately are like, look, it's hard for me to drive to the gym, or I can't drive the gym because I got to take care of this. Here you go, here's a program that is going to give you a maximized your efficiency and structure it in a way, where if time is an issue, we can get more effective with what kind of time we have to give. If you can't really necessarily drop things in replacement of it, let's just get you know more effective with what you're doing That's it and for me personally like I have a very very busy life and I schedule my workout first thing in the morning I just do it that way and it ain't that my favorite time to work out

It's just not a prior when I this calling I said I've had this conversation so many times It's like it's just not a priority right now. And I get it. It's your 20 to 25 years old, you're going to college. But like they know that you should be eating that. Right. Because people are saying it, whatever. And it's like, but it's the unfortunate part. And then you want to get real deep here.

This is where we talk about your relationship with yourself, the difference between self-image and body image. This is a lot of times if you don't figure all that piece out, and then you wait until you feel disgusted about your body or you're unhappy or whatever it may be, this is like a snowball effect of like this emotional roller coaster that becomes this huge task

for me, the trainer, to help fix all that because you've done all this emotional damage beating yourself up over years because you didn't take care of it when you knew you should have. So, you know, learn it, figure it out right now for yourself, whether you apply it all the time or not, that's up to you. But, you know, you take someone like yourself and I would challenge you to give three months, three months of your life of following, you know, a program

right, eating correctly, follow a regimen, make a priority for it. Doesn't have to be overwhelming like, sour, saying two days, maybe three days a week, follow it, stick to it. And then, and then after that, like, then it's up to you when you implement it, how much of it you do and how much you enjoy yourself. I think that that will pay off so big for you down the, down the road. The wizard has spoken. Check this out. We have videos that we post every single day on YouTube. Just look up Mind Pump TV.
