Determined Society with Shawn French | Adversity & Mindset - Sit To Rise with Patric Young

Episode Date: September 16, 2024

  <p>In this powerful conversation on <a href="https://thedeterminedsociety.com"><em>The Determined Society</em>,</a> Shawn French engages with Patric Young, whose life was forever altered by a tragic accident. As a former athlete, Patric shares the emotional and physical challenges he faced during recovery, detailing how his life was transformed and how he discovered a new sense of identity. This deep, reflective discussion touches on themes of resilience, faith, and community, offering listeners valuable insights into the power of determination.</p> <p>Patric begins by recounting the accident that changed everything. As an athlete, his identity was heavily tied to his physical abilities and the recognition he received for his achievements. The sudden loss of his athletic career led to an identity crisis, as he grappled with questions of self-worth, purpose, and the uncertainty of his future. The conversation dives into how tightly we often tie our identities to our accomplishments, and what happens when those are suddenly stripped away.</p> <p>Throughout his recovery, Patric found solace and strength in his faith. He speaks candidly about how his spiritual beliefs provided him with a foundation to continue moving forward, even when progress felt slow or non-existent. This resonates with many who face life-altering challenges, as faith can serve as a crucial source of strength in times of deep struggle.</p> <p>The role of community is another pivotal aspect of Patric's journey. He emphasizes the profound impact that the support of family, friends, and even strangers had on his healing process. Shawn and Patric both acknowledge that while personal determination is vital, the love and encouragement from a supportive network can make all the difference in recovery.</p> <p>The conversation also touches on the nature of resilience itself, highlighting that it is not a singular achievement but an ongoing process. Resilience requires continual effort, adaptation, and a willingness to confront the difficult emotions that arise along the way. Patric’s story illustrates that healing is not linear, and setbacks are part of the journey.</p> <p>One of the key takeaways from the conversation is the importance of living in the present. Patric shares how he had to shift his mindset from constantly worrying about the future to focusing on the progress he was making in the moment. This shift allowed him to appreciate his journey more deeply and maintain his determination.</p> <p>Sharing his personal story has become a crucial part of Patric’s recovery, as he recognizes that his experiences can inspire others to overcome their own challenges. Both Shawn and Patric emphasize the power of storytelling in creating meaningful connections and motivating others to change.</p> <p>Finally, the episode delves into the concept of self-negotiation. Patric acknowledges how easy it can be to fall into the trap of negotiating with oneself — making excuses, rationalizing delays, or settling for less. This self-sabotage can hinder growth and progress, but overcoming this mindset is essential for long-term success.</p> <p>Key Takeaways:</p> <ol> <li>Resilience is a journey, not a destination – It requires ongoing effort and adaptation.</li> <li>Identity can be deeply tied to our achievements – Losing what defines us can lead to an identity crisis.</li> <li>Life can change in an instant, requiring us to adapt – Flexibility and determination are essential when facing the unexpected.</li> <li>Community support plays a crucial role in recovery – A strong network can provide the emotional and practical support needed to move forward.</li> <li>Faith can provide strength during difficult times – Spiritual beliefs can offer hope and resilience during adversity.</li> <li>Determination is essential for overcoming obstacles – Grit and perseverance are crucial to navigating tough times.</li> <li>It's important to focus on the present and not just the future – Staying grounded in the moment allows for greater appreciation and progress.</li> <li>Sharing personal stories can inspire others to change – Vulnerability and honesty can motivate others on their own journeys.</li> <li>We often negotiate with ourselves, which can hinder progress – Self-sabotage is a common barrier to growth, but it can be overcome.</li> <li>The journey of healing is ongoing and requires patience – True recovery takes time, and setbacks are part of the process.</li> </ol> <p>Patric Young’s story is a testament to the enduring power of resilience, faith, and community. His experiences remind us that, while life can change in an instant, we always have the capacity to rebuild, reimagine, and inspire others along the way.</p> Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

And I had written the book at this time, and I'm speaking to a hybrid group, some people in person, some people virtual. After the talk goes, and I'm actually feeling good about myself.

It was like, ah, I did better, blah, blah, blah. After taking pictures with some people there, there was one guy that was just kind of standing off to the side. And I'm like, it's just kind of weird because I'm here for y'all. Like, you know, come talk to me. And when the gentleman found the right opportunity, you said, Patrick, I want you to know something. you saved my life. And I'm like, that's a little extreme. What's he talking about?

I said last year, I wasn't doing very well. I had a note method and a plan for how I was going to take my life. You know, what if you were a University of Florida basketball standout? And then you played a little bit in the NBA and played overseas professionally, became a new parent. Then the very next minute, you're in a car accident. You lose your ability to walk. And you're in this journey to fight back and walk.

again. You're in the middle of the journey. We know it's not a destination. And we have to realize sometimes we have to sit to rise. So come with me and listen to this amazing story of resilience and determination and the journey to be upright once again. Shirefrench, what up? This one luck I let the pain inspire me. I'm from all and everything I'm doing. Up until it's done, I'm me for the entirety. I'm putting overtime. I'll be working. Just know I'm a go for mine because I earned it. They watch and I know it's time. I confirmed it. A whole society determined.

Determine. Gator legend, Patrick Young. What's up, everybody? We're back at Lynch's Irish Club and Jacksonville, Beach, Florida with UF legend. Patrick Young, SEC basketball analyst, man of faith, man. So great to meet you. So great to me as well. Absolutely.

No, this is the first time I think I've been in Lynch's in the daytime. So I was kind of lost. But I found my way around. That's good, man. They know they had food. Food is really good too. I had the Shepherd's Pie. So would you have the Shepherd's Pie?

It was good? Yeah. Oh, man. The French fries were banging, too. Oh, no way. So you hear that, guys. You got to get the Shepherd's Pie and the French fries. It's good.

Eat all the food. But, man, I'm just so happy to see here with you. I admire you from far for a lot of years. And, you know, it's just a really cool part of the journey with the show is getting to meet people that I used to watch on TV. and get to know them at a deeper level, man. So for those that don't know you, man, tell me a little about your background, kind of the things that you're going through now.

Gosh, that's a big question, and I'll try to keep it concise. And first thing, you know, I'm from here. I'm a Jacksonville native. Love Duval. I've been a, I guess, emotionally wrecked Jaguars, man for many, many, many years. Last year was one of those.

But I'm still loud and proud. I had season tickets a while a few years ago, and that was fun. That's in my past life. But I grew up playing sports. Mom and Dad, mom went to Bowles. My dad went to Raines High School.

So, I mean, I'm through and through full Jacksonville kid that got his dream of playing at the University of Florida. Basketball there was a McDonald's All-American. Big part of me being a Gator was because of my grandparents. They were the ones that put me in the orange and blue when I was younger. So if it would have been gold and yellow, purple or whatever. Don't you say whatever. Whatever that L.S.

My face. The colors of royalty. Colors of royalty. We can go with that. That's fine. I would have been a tiger. Yeah. A little kitty cat. A kitty cat? No, it's, but not everybody can be perfect. It's fine. It's fine. Had a great career under Billy Diamond for four years, 2010 to 14, got my undergrad. Say one, you know, I obviously making a final four is something I'm extremely proud of. But more than anything was looking back at the things I accomplished being the first and only three-time SEC, a scholar athlete of the year in the conference, something that I just set my mind to becoming and didn't want to be average. So I said, you know what?

You can excel in the classroom, man, on the court at the same time. Ended up staying in college too long, and I got undrafted. But I went to New Orleans Pelicans for a bit for a cup of coffee. Then I was blessed to go play basketball overseas and see the world. I went to Turkey. I was in Istanbul. Okay. That was a culture shock.

Really? I bet. Whoa. I would go back, you sure, but I just wasn't, you know, you don't know what you don't know. You should have gouged a little more and just figured out. I should have. I should have. Then I was in Greece for two years, Athens, Greece, no place like it. If you ever get a chance, everyone to go somewhere, you have to go to Greece.

Then I was in Italy for two years, and Israel was my last stop. And then I came back and I was like, you know what? I'm tired of being hurt in playing basketball. So I want to get to being just a normal citizen. again. That's crazy, man. What a decorated career. It's funny. Before we started recording, I was joking with him about the LSU and University of Florida. I, you know, I feel like I'm surrounded by gators all of a sudden, you know? It's, uh, you know what? And I'm okay with it. You're okay with it? I'm cool. We're cool. Hey, we're more of a fan base that is, uh,

we get angry at ourselves more than we get angry at other people. Same thing with LSU. Except for Tennessee. Just making sure any volunteers in here. We will run your own. We got one back there. We got to go. You get out. I love it.

Oh, man. I love it, man. But yeah, you know, for me, like the biggest thing, you know, that's the first 30 years in my life. And then, you know, I would say somewhat at that time just being an athlete, being accomplished, your identity gets wrapped up in that stuff. And I always knew that was more than just an athlete that. There was more that I brought to the world and just being able to put a ball on a hoop

or stop a ball from going in the hoop. But it wasn't until 2022 when, like, fully life has changed and things that she used to do at ease and on a normal basis was taken away completely where I'm like, all right, who do you really believe you are as a man?

Are you going to remain a victim of this thing that happened? Are you going to turn into something that can be a victorious thing that can inspire others? And I chose the latter.

And it wasn't easy. And it's still not easy because I'm still like in the middle. Right, right. So, but it's challenged me so much and changed me so much as a person, understanding everybody is going through something. And just if you can, you know, for me and you've done it a lot, being able to inspire and know that you've done something to impact someone else's life, the feeling of that, there's nothing better.

Like there's no trophy I could have ever won that would be better than hearing somebody, you know, breaking an addiction or. just changing a complete generation or cycle of their family or their life that, you know, who knows what the repercussions of that are going to be. No, for sure, man. And you said it best, you know, 2022, your kind of life unravel a little bit, as you know it, and another identity transition, right? You know, you had that accident and, you know, but hey, man, you know, I'm still sitting here

with you and you're still like way over here and I'm like a little midget down here. You see out, still there. But, you know, so, you know, talk about. It's hard being tall when you have. need a medical health issue. Yeah. Because most things aren't made for tall people. Right.

In this world, in general. Or buff people, as we were talking earlier. Buff, everybody hear that? I appreciate that. And, you know, but those are those moments, right? The Determined Society really highlights these stories of resilience and determination. And, you know, there's a lot of things that can happen to you throughout your life. Maybe you get fired or you don't get the promotion.

If people pass away. but for you, the physical body was injured. And now you're in this battle to, because from what I understand, you're fighting back, you're going to be upright again. Right, yeah. And so talk to everybody about,

you talk to the audience about the type of determination of resilience that you have to display. I mean, the word determination is so pinpoint because I just remember, you know, I had the accident. I was two weeks, lifelighted from Nebraska to South Dakota,

Sue Falls. I was there for two weeks. Then I got trans, transferred to a hospital in Denver, Craig Hospital. And I was there for five weeks. We thought I was going to be there for much longer just because that was like the standard protocol before they release you and feel like you're skilled enough at that point to take care of yourself.

And it was, I don't know, the first week or the second week being there, Craig, something just snapped in my mind. And I was like, let's go. Like, what are you waiting for? Life is now. So what if it's not easy? And it's crazy because at Craig Hospital, they put you on a schedule.

And my schedule was from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a one hour break. And I just remember joking with Coach Donovan, the head coach that coached me in college. I was like, coach, if I would have worked this hard when I was in college, I would have been a number one draft pick, like without a doubt. But embracing that because there were so many people there at the hospital. And rightfully so, when justified, like going through something that is so emotionally overwhelming, it's hard to just pick yourself up and start. Pick yourself up and believe.

Because there were a lot of people that were capable of getting better, having better, higher chance of rehabilitation than I, but they're just soul was so crushed. They could not push through and accept where they are to get to where they want to be. It's hard for bringing for me to see people do that because I'm like, dang, I wish I had your chances. I'm going to make up.

But I was like, you know what, whether that one day happens that I'm wishing for or not, life is now. Yeah. Life is today, you know, and I'm not going to wait to, if joy is something that we can embrace and live today versus being bitter, I mean, nobody will fault me for being mad, for being bitter for, you know, wanting to stay inside and take life slow in those things. But I'm like, that's not helping anything. And that's only keeping me in that victim category. That's not a person that's trying to overcome this thing.

And that's who I've committed myself to me. You know, that's the thing. It's a choice, right? Yeah. You have every right to be upset. Every right to be mad and other individuals that are in the same type of situation. But it's like, how are you going to impact like that? You know, you can't impact yourself because then you stay there, right?

And like I said, life is now. So we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. Right. You'd be happy now. Yeah. And we have joy, be filled with joy now. And then, you know, what you're doing is you're your SEC basketball analyst. You're living life.

You're doing your motivational speaking and you're fighting. like you were setting an example it's a balance you know because i i am a person that we all struggle with patients at times right you can't speed up god and you can't speed up doctors that's for sure right so you know my first year after the accident and this is this is one of the craziest stories you know i had the speaking engagement with johnson and johnson it was such a blessing this was november this was like three or four months after the accident it's like here we here we are are you ready are you sure and i was just like you know Dude, it's still so raw at that point.

Yeah, for sure. Absolutely. Let alone being a new husband and a new dad at that time as well. Like, it was a lot in the battle because I didn't have this overcoming I'm through with it story. You can do it too. It was more like, this is what happened. This is how I'm, like, going to strive to embrace it and make the most of it.

I wasn't refined as a speaker at that time. And, you know, we can get critical ourselves. And it went, oh, man, I should ask this question. I should do this and that. And I come from that event and just continue on about my life and more opportunities come. But again, it's a lot to juggle with having this life-changing injury, needing to rehab, being a dad, being a husband, a lot to juggle. But that time allowed me just to learn so much about myself as well, being in the thick of it with all the pressure and stress. And, you know, there's a standard that I tried to hold myself to as a man.

And it's just so hard. Yeah. Because a part of that standard is never giving up. You know, never allowing yourself to say I quit. Yeah. And there were many a time, man, where I was just like, I don't have an answer for this. But I'm just so thankful for the people that I had around me because what's so cool, you know, last year I was in the hospital for a long time. I got the opportunity after I got discharged to speak to that company, Johnson Johnson again.

spoke to the company. I feel more refined. I experience more life. I have more stories. I'm funnier. You're more pretty funny. In my opinion. I find funny looking. I know funny looking. You're not funny looking. You're handsome, but you're not. So I and I had written the book at this time and I'm speaking to a hybrid group. Some people in person, some people virtual. After the talk goes, you know, I'm actually like feeling good about myself. It's like, ah, I did better, blah, blah, blah. after taking pictures with some people there, there was one guy that was just kind of standing off to the side. And I'm like, it's just kind of weird because I'm here for y'all. Like, you know, come talk to me. And when the gentleman found the right opportunity, he said, Patrick, I want you to know something.

You saved my life. And I'm like, that's a little extreme. What's he talking about? I said last year I wasn't doing very well. I had a note method and a plan for how I was going to take my life. Oh, boy. He said I heard, I wasn't in person, but I heard you speak. And in the middle, in the beginning of your struggle, it just made change my perspective on my entire life.

I mean, dude. What's worth more than that? What's worth more than that? Seriously. Because that's somebody's son. That's somebody's husband, dad that's thinking about taking assault. And who knows what ramification that has on that rest of his family's life? Well, not even that.

Just the impact of the world, right? What impact is that individual we're not going to make because they're not here? And you playing that part. And that's, you know, that's the most impactful thing I've done. That's why you got to show up. Yep. That's why even in the middle, like, and showing up doesn't mean having to do something profound. It can literally just be getting out of bed or just, like, I've had people just telling me knowing that I'm still going through this, that, hey, it's a blessing that you just immerse yourself back into society and just like you're you.

Some people hide. Yeah. Some people hide. It's crazy because you had mentioned before, you know, going through this when you're talking to Johnson, and Johnson. It's not like you had this, you know, I went through it. Now, you can't do. It's like you're going through it. But I also feel that's what makes you so powerful. Yeah. It's because people are getting to watch you live it, watch you overcome. How much, how much has faith played a part in what you're going through?

Oh, man, it's a huge part, a huge part because I don't, you know, for one, I knew that I didn't have the strength to just fix this problem. For the most part of my whole life, I always just try, we're men. We try to just pick it. We're trying to fix everything on our heart. own and seeing that this was nothing that I could just fix on my own that I literally was at the hands of what life had given me at that time and you know having great my great family around me and friends it definitely helped me to not lose faith because it just helped me for one it helped me to see how much love that I've experienced in my life that I had friends that just one person here dropped everything to come and see me when I was in Denver you know the worst part of my life

is how can I help you know how can I just you know how can I just Just be there for you. Really cool story, actually. Fourth of July, when I'm in the hospital, I couldn't see fireworks. Even though the window I was at, because you're not supposed to light fireworks within a certain amount of distance of a hospital. My best friends on their last day, was their last night. They went and bought some fireworks, got on the sidewalk to where I could see them light them up on the hospital on the sidewalk. They lit them and ran.

And it was the best thing ever. Oh, my gosh. the best Fourth of July, something I'll never forget for the rest of my life. And that, I mean, that just only solidified my faith because you can't have, I mean, I just don't feel like you can have relationships like that if there's not a God that creates.

You experience things like that because, like, those are people that are in my life forever. And I remember texting them this year, like, two years ago was a Fourth of July. I would never forget, you know, those two of those friends. But, you know, it's a journey I'm still in. and I still have those moments, of course, where I wrestle with God. But I say ultimately, with that story I just said of the good that I saw come from it,

I'm like, he's doing this. There's a purpose behind this. I might not ever know the end story, but how can I doubt God? Man. With what I've seen, the goodness of this whole circumstance so far. You know, the relationships that you're talking about, man, that's just so impactful. To have those people with you. Yeah.

And do some crazy shit like that. Like the lights and fire. And even hold you accountable too. Because I remember my best friend, like Alex, he's always just like, all right, man, where are we at? What are we doing? How are you getting better? That's great. Yeah.

That's great. And he took on this challenge. He runs a mile every day for me. Whoa. Yeah. Has he missed? No, he's never missed. Man, that's impactful.

How long has he been doing it for? Two years? Two years. Wow. He has never missed the day. He's shredded now. Probably, man. Oh, yeah.

He's talking about doing a marathon now. I'm like, bro, you don't have to talk about. One mile is more than a golf. I'll do a marathon like a golf cart. I'm not ever, I'm not a run. I was never a runner. Right, right. You put me in a gym and you want to make weightlifting and cardio, I'll do that.

Yeah. When it comes to just. It's not fine. My mind wander's too much. Too much. Yeah, it's way too much, man. But, you know, it's, you know, determination isn't always pretty, right? No, it's not.

It's like you said that you struggle with it. You know, you wrestle with it. And it's like, people think that. you're supposed to wake up every single day and have this massive amount of motivation and be excited about the challenges in front of you. And it's really ultimately never like that, you know. It's great when that does happen. If that, if that happens.

Wow. I mean, I'm waiting. I mean, like, it doesn't happen very often. It's like the long clock goes off at four. You know, it's like, all right, well, I got to go do this because I said I was going to go do it. Yeah. You know, and you definitely helps when you have a count of it like. You can have other people that are counting on you too.

Yes. That does help. Yes. It definitely helps. But when it's just you by yourself, we lie to ourselves more than do. Lide to ourselves, deceive ourselves, flake on ourselves. I mean, how many times if you broke your word to yourself, man?

Oh, my gosh. We wouldn't dare let a person like that be in our lives. No. But we do it to ourselves. We do it to ourselves. It's crazy, man. I think that, you know, like the journey is this, right? It's simple.

It's like, would I break my word to my wife, to my children? No. And if you did, you feel terrible about it. I'm going to hear about it. So you don't tell me. Love you, baby. You're going to tell me, right? But like, we can negotiate so much with ourselves.

Yeah. And I think the important thing, especially the journey you're on is like no negotiation. Yeah. Zero. Yeah. Like zero. How often do you have to remind yourself of that? I'm glad you said that because it reminds me that's the one thing would make Kobe Bryant great.

Oh, man. He literally said, I remember one of his interview. I don't negotiate. with myself. If I said I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it and follow through. And, yeah, I mean, I can even get just distracted with success that I'm having that doors are being open and lose sight of the main thing being the main thing. Right. It's like, hey, your big goal is to walk again. Are you still acting in a way that votes?

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I used to get so offended by, it's a story in scripture where Jesus comes to to this man that had been paralyzed pretty much his whole life. And the first thing asked, do you want to walk? And I'm like, dude, what's your fake? Of course he wants to walk. But I realize so many people get attached sometimes to their identity, that they have a fear of who am I going to be if that thing actually goes away? It's a transition. Absolutely.

I'm no longer identified to that thing. And then it's like, are your actions, I mean, 38 years is a long time. I would think that he probably had doubt that it was going to even happen for him. And I just, you know, I've seen that there has been miracle so many people that have been told they won't walk again. People learning how to walk in after 39 years, 40 years. And I'm like, all right. That's just, I don't need a yes. Or if you're going to give me a yes or no.

I just want a yes or no now. And I'll just operate in that because I don't want to be like attached to this idea of 40 years from now and be like, finally. But see, that's the thing, though, right? But that's the thing. It's like, you know, when we're going for somewhere, shoot for a goal, in your case, it's to walk again and to, and to do that. It's like, we can't worry about a time frame. Oh, you can. We have to worry about what's in front of us today.

Yeah, that's it. What can I do right now in the process, in the rehab, and everything to get me to that. See, that's the reward. That's the journey. And then when you get to that point where you are walking, it's like, it didn't matter how long it took because it happened. But it's so important. It's so good about what you just said. It directly correlates with one of my doctors before I left.

Craig Hospital, he said, that day is going to come when your body is going to start trying to make things happen. Keep your body in shape. Stay stretching, stay doing exercises, things that would just keep your body prime because it would be terrible if, like, you know, you don't move your legs around and then you have tone and that leg wants to walk, but because there's tone, because it's now stuck in this position, you're not going to be able to.

Yeah. So that was really good. I mean, directly with what you said. Yeah, man. small, consistent, and focusing on that big goal, let your Y be as strong as it needs to be. So when you don't feel like progress is happening, you still just keep going. Well, that's it. You heard it right there.

When you feel like progress isn't happening, you still keep going. Stay focused on your Y. Let the main thing be the main thing. And I, dude, I just appreciate you so much. Yeah, thank you for having me. Thank you so much for coming on, bro. It's great. How much you telling everybody.

Thank you. What I've always found is all the flavors. You can taste artificial flavoring in them. With raw, it's exactly that. I don't taste that. It's a clean protein source. It tastes great, and I'm not putting a lot of things in my body that aren't good for you. The biggest thing that I will say that I love about raw nutrition and bum energy is they're all natural ingredients in the third party tested.

So what that means is an actual lab test is to make sure what's in the product is actually what is stated on the label. And then you'll see on the website of raw nutrition, that it is signed off on. So there's no banned substances in these products. Athletes can use them safely and not get tested and pop for a failed drug test for performance enhancing, you know, ingredients. It's completely safe.

Guilt free, baby. George, I see you, my man. Hey, thanks so much. Your local guy from Jacksonville Beach, the beaches, this is a community. How does it feel for you to create something and grow something that can help this community out and for you to just see it get better, man?

You know, First Beach's insurance is so important to me, but more important to me is the Beaches community. My family's been in this area for over 100 years. It's who we are. We care about the people. We care about the businesses. We just love seeing this place prosper. That's amazing, dude. And just thank you so much for being here today, supporting this event, 10-year anniversary and adaptive and helping to determine society. You know, just in everything that we're doing here. You're truly, truly outwardly focused. And I had no idea your family's been here for over 100 years. That's a legacy, man. Talk to me about that because that's big.

Yeah, so it's kind of funny. People always say, how are you, O'Garcia? It was just a guy that came over on a boat in Cuba in 1875, and we ended up in Jacksonville, Florida, and been at the beach ever since. It's just a place we love. This is beautiful. I tell you, I'm a big fan. I'm so happy to meet you. I love what you do with the Trevor Lawrence wig. Yeah. You really dive into the creative part of this full business and the outreach to the community. I just think it's great to see and I wish more people were doing that.

How'd you figure how'd you come up with that? So the wig idea was actually, it was a gift for my son who was four years old, but he wouldn't wear it. And so I started wearing it. And I mean, I'm Duval till I die for sure. We're Jaguars all the way. So the wig, everyone loves it. Everyone loves Trevor, you know, so that's just something we do to try to keep it light. It's just insurance, you know?

Right, right. Well, you got to liven it up a little bit, right? That's right. You know, Trevor, you guys locked him down for some more. He's staying. That's a big deal. big for the community. Big for my content, too.

Absolutely. Dude, what if you had to get like a short wig? I know. I know. We can't do that again. Your whole brand would be off. Exactly. So we got him locked in for seven years.

That's seven more years of content. We're ready to go. Beautiful, man. Well, listen, dude, I appreciate you, George. Thank you so much. Thanks, Sean. FBI, First Beach's Insurance right here in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Peace.

See, yeah. Share, French, what up? Let the pain inspire me. I put my all and everything I'm doing. Up until it's done. I meet for the entirety. I'll be working, just know I'm a go for mine because I earned it.

They watch and I know it's time. I confirmed it. A whole society determined. The time it's a show. Rinse takes your laundry and hand delivers it to your door, expertly cleaned and folded. So you could take the time once spent folding and sorting and waiting to finally pursue a whole new version of you.

Like tea time you. Mmm. Or this tea time you. Or even this tea time you. Said you hear about Dave? Or even tea time, tea time, tea time, tea time you. Mmm. So update on Dave.

It's up to you. We'll take the laundry. Rinse. It's time to be great.
