This is the Edmire Show.
Welcome back to Max out everybody. I'm Ed Mylatt. Today we're talking transformations.
And I have been chasing these two for a couple months probably right to be on the show and so these folks to my left you definitely recognize them for five and a half years or so
they were on ABC hosting the show Extreme Weight Loss and they've turned into
fitness icons you can tell if you're watching the YouTube version from looking at
both of them they're two of the fittest people that are married together in
the history of the world and making me feel very out of shape to start out the
show today.
But I'm honored to have you guys here
because they're experts on transformation.
So we're gonna talk about that topic today throughout,
not just in your body but in your life.
So if you're interested in making a transformation,
we're gonna talk about the tools and skills
and resources to do that with two experts today.
So I have Chris and Heidi Powell with me here today.
Thanks for being here, guys.
Thank you for having us.
I was actually gonna say,
thank you so much. It's really as a dream come Thank you for having us. I was actually going to say,
it's really as a dream come true for us.
And you, I was going to say, you make us feel out of shape.
Like, look at you.
Stop it.
Look at me.
We've been doing this off camera.
They've been trying to make me feel better by myself
for about a half hour, everybody.
Just so you know, you've been watching you for quite some time.
And you really are an inspiration for all of us.
Thank you, man.
Well, you've done that for me for, I mean,
I've told you this too.
And that's why I pursued you guys.
Because I think, you know, a lot of people talk about being able
to change their life, but you've proven it.
Like, there's data to prove that the two of you know,
how to not only change your own lives,
which we'll talk about today,
but you've changed just so many people's lives,
both emotionally, physically, financially, in some cases.
And so, I wanna talk about all that too.
I know that's what everyone's dying for me to cover with you guys.
So, I want to start with the two of you, because I think you're both so interesting.
So, if we could just go back, like tell them, because I think it's a testimony of transformation.
Everything in your life happens for you, and not to you, is what I teach people, right?
And kind of that, you guys sort of embody that, even like how you met.
So, one of you tell me about how you guys met.
Oh my gosh, well, you know, I go back, if you were wind about 15 years, you know, after
getting a degree in exercise science, and I was trained for quite some time, I ended
up landing a gig as the good morning Arizona, the fitness guy.
And after about five months of doing that,
we had more and more people that were four, five,
600 pounds riding in asking for help.
And at the time, this is like early 2000s,
so you just, you don't see that a lot.
And NBC was working on a show called
The Biggest Leads Rental Time.
So that was the very first,
the first thing you really start to kind of highlight
the morbidlyce and the super obese and so I ended up
There's a gentleman who is like six hundred thirty five pounds of the whole big six hundred thirty five pounds
Yeah, the guy that started it all and this this will lead to actually how we met this
There's a little bit of a backstreet. I hope you don't mind here. You're like where is he going with that?
Where is he going with this? I'm watching your face, Heidi.
Right.
So, and he reached out to me, and I was just doing a gig on the morning news at the time,
because I was just passionate about fitness and so excited about this stuff.
And I had no idea how I could possibly help, but I just couldn't stop thinking about it.
He wrote me this huge long letter just asking for help, saying that, you know, he's, he
were the same age.
His doctor just left his house.
He was stuck in his basement for two years
and the doctor said he wouldn't live to see 30.
I couldn't stop thinking about it.
So I ended up a week later, I emailed him,
asked him for his address, said,
I just kind of, I wanna come meet you.
And I showed up at his door.
I knew he was gonna be there
cause he had left him two years.
And we sat there, we started talking for like 10 minutes.
I was like, dude, this guy's a bro.
He's just awesome. sense of human he was just trapped in
the 635 pound body and and I said dude I have no idea where this is gonna go
but I'll be back on Tuesday and so I showed up every other day for two years
oh my gosh he ended up losing 400 pounds and he came my best friend and
In the process and it was just the most incredible experience for both of us and and at the time
So he lost the weight and once he had actually lost the weight
You know he had all the skin his teeth were rotting out. He had coke bottle glasses So I reached out to some of my doctor friends and I got him five surgeries for the skin and got his eyes done his teeth
And the guy was he looked like a model and so I'm about to date us here.
He ended up posting his before and afters on my space.
And it went viral within two weeks we were getting hit up for Oprah and the today show
in 2020 and so it was this crazy whirlwind.
This is back in 2005. I was making
these systems that would stack all of your meals in there. There's a timer that
go off every three hours and tell you to eat again. So it's a cool concept.
Yes, sure was. But I'm not a business man. I'm just a trainer out there just trying to help a
bunch of people. So I started, I saved all my money. I sent it over to a factory in China and not
knowing what I was doing. I ended up purchasing 12,500 units. I borrowed a lot of money. The container
ends up making it over here to San Pedro. I'm standing there as it's coming off
the docks. They opened up the very first cardboard box and I pulled a
thing out and it was just trash. And I lost it. I literally I crumbled and mentally it broke me because that was all of them.
It was a couple hundred, it's probably about a hundred and fifty thousand. I'd saved up as a trainer.
Another two hundred thousand dollars that I borrowed from other people. And I was sitting on a
massive container of product that I couldn't sell. It wasn't even what I ordered. And so I broke, and at the same time,
I was still training hard.
I ended up herniating a disc in my back, my L5S1.
And this is back in 06.
So a lot of the doctors back in that day,
they're like, here, take this,
it's gonna make you feel better.
You can function on this, it's called Vicodin.
The Vicodin, while it helped kill the pain in my back,
it also helped kill the pain of my financial downslide.
And pretty soon when my back,
as far as the pain goes, it was totally managed,
but I still felt the financial pain
and the emotional pain of losing everything.
And ego though, just, and I'm just gonna speak,
totally transparently here, but all my friends,
like I was one of the guys that made it.
I was on the morning news and I was helping all these people
and I was the guy.
And they didn't, I was too prideful to let him know
that I was hurting, that I was hooked on,
bike it in, that I had lost everything because I just had to be that I was hurting, that I was hooked on, bike it in, that I had lost everything
because I just had to be that guy for every, I was like, dude, it's Chris Powell, he's always
got a smile on his face, he's always so happy, he's always got, and I would go home and
I was in such a deep depression and I was using opiates to numb that pain.
I ended up after two years and losing everything. I lost the roof over
my head and so I had to move out of my, I was crashing on my buddy's condo. He told me
one day he's like, did you, you can't stay here anymore because I couldn't afford to
pay him. I lost everything. I was I was paying for basically every dime I could make. I was
in a $250,000 debt. I was hooked on painkillers for two years.
And I haven't shared that part of the story.
I can be honest with you, I'm listening.
First off, one of the things I've always loved
about you is your vulnerability.
It's one of the things that makes people connect
with you, I just wanna acknowledge that,
but I didn't know this part of the story either.
I think there's probably millions of people
who know you, this is super pumped up,
energetic dude, who just always wins.
That's the exterior, right?
And so I appreciate you being willing to share that,
that even surprises me to hear,
and I've done a lot of research on you, so appreciate that.
I've learned that the more open I am about this,
the more I can talk about it,
it's part of my continued rehabilitation.
And now granted, it was when I lost everything and I was also surrounded
though by other people that were also hooked on opiates, which is you see that it's a really
common thread among other people that are addicted. Now granted it was always my, well I got
a prescription for it because of my back, I got her need a disc. Yeah so I totally covered
up with being a legit but after two years of realizing that I'm I can only function with it. I got a major problem here and I
got to stop and by the way I lost everything so it was when I my old roommate
said you got to go the neighbor at the time he saw me packing up everything
and literally had a double bag in my end of my car that was it. He saw me throw
my bag in the car he's like dude, come crash on my couch for a little bit.
Not because I needed a place to stay,
because he knew what was happening with the opiates.
And so I crashed on his couch and I just grinded it out
for three good days, and he'd bring me water and everything.
And I just went cold turkey, yep.
And then from there I spent six months
going around from couch to couch.
In fact, David's family, my buddy David,
they helped lose 400 pounds.
They opened up their doors to me.
I slept on their couch for three months.
Yeah.
So that just, by the way, I mean, I know a lot about you.
That blows my mind.
That blows my mind.
That blows my mind.
For you to, no, and for you to share that, man,
because there's so many people that relate to this.
Everything on the outside looks great
and everything's falling apart on the inside, right?
There's also people listening to have some of these addictions.
It could be an opiate, it could be another drug,
it could be an alcohol.
So for you to share that, man, I had no idea
we were gonna go there.
So you literally sort of grind it out the detox
sitting there on the couch,
and then just floated for six months.
Little do you know during that time,
you're about to meet your dream woman.
Right? You're about to meet your dream woman. Right.
You're about to.
And all of these things as we start to talk about them too,
like they were ironically happening for you.
I don't think if you have this addiction,
maybe you don't connect as well with people
of a food addiction.
Right.
You know what I mean?
It's odd that sometimes these,
the worst parts of our life,
they really are happening for us.
Doesn't feel like it at the time,
but like now that I know the after,
all the seeds are being planted that make you you now.
Yes.
You had your first big transformation,
you had your big weight loss client,
you had the connection,
you probably got over what it's like
to just be famous as your only identity.
I would think, which we'll talk about a little bit later,
but anyway, so take us from there.
Does that somehow, I think I know where this goes,
where the two of you end up meet each other?
Yeah, and you nailed it.
I actually had no understanding of addiction at all
before.
I had no understanding of David,
how he could possibly be addicted to food.
In fact, I really thought that his weight loss
was simply physiology, and I carped cycle them down,
and I built a progressive overload for his cardio,
so it all made sense on paper for science.
And I had no concept of addiction until I realized that I was an addict myself.
Wow.
And it gave me the whole new gift of empathy that if I didn't have it, I couldn't possibly
help anybody else through a journey of transformation.
And it gave me just a whole new appreciation for human struggle.
And what will, what we do to try to escape and try to alleviate the pain of that daily emotional struggle.
So I really believe this.
I mean, to jump in there.
But everyone should hear this.
Like, this is a well said thing, but it's really true.
Your test can actually end up being what you're doing right now.
It could be your testimony.
Yeah.
If the test you go through can end up becoming your testimony.
I hope there's all these people, man,
who know you use this icon in the space.
This is the real you.
Like this is why I wanted you on the show.
I had no idea we're gonna go this far with it,
but like it did prepare you for the greatness
that was coming and all the other ups and downs
that were to come even after this,
though we'll talk about today too, right?
So beautifully putting it right.
Your test, if you choose for it too,
can become your testimony.
And that's exactly, like that has become my life.
And I wouldn't change it for the world.
I look back and if that had not happened,
I wouldn't be sitting here with you right now.
And I wouldn't have the amazing ability and the opportunity
to help a lot of other people.
I don't think, though, it took a few years for you,
for him to realize that all of that was happening for a reason.
I don't even think you actually identified as an addict
until years after you and I had met
and we had started the show.
So we truly met at probably the best point possible.
It was him straight out of his car,
straight off of his opiates. Me, I'm
still trying to figure out this eating disorder and you know life without marriage.
If you looked at the two of you, you would never know that this relationship came out of an
eating disorder and an opiate addiction. You totally flat broke, you divorced. And then
these two people converge and end up with a very short window of time having one of the most popular television shows of the last couple decades on television.
It's like mind blowing that this and even probably you hearing it back is like wow that is pretty cool right?
But you are right though like I believe and we have said this like that is one thing that's never changed is from the moment we met.
We even before anything happened like before there was we didn't date for months because we were like you know what we
just want I like I was not interested in a man he was not interested in a woman
but I it's he had it well I'm interested in women but it's not at the time
it's not at the time but anyway you know it's all go either way. In a wife at the time. Right.
Actually, you were interested in, though, where biceps.
I love this opening line right here.
You guys got to hear this.
So they're at the self-approved seminar.
He's out of the car, broke, recovered from opiate.
She's divorced.
She's kind of in like the bar scene a little bit.
I think you were at the time, right?
Where you kind of like?
I was actually coming.
I was like, I can't do this anymore.
I had never drank in my life, never did anything. And then about three months period of time, where you come. I was actually coming. I was like, I can't do this anymore. I went through, I had never drank in my life,
never did anything, and then about three month period of time,
I did everything.
You did everything.
And so yeah, I was out that himself
and from the seminar, hat on, no makeup, sweats.
Every day, that is true story,
because I did not want a man to look at me.
I didn't want to look at another man.
And day two of the seminar, December 6, 2008.
This guy comes up to me who looks like a Jim Rat
and he's like,
I had my powerhouse Jim Shreddard.
You did?
You did?
I got my four hours for the four hours coming out.
It was a speedy I'm of course.
I'm wearing one right now, bro.
We do.
We do.
Anyway, he and I were the only two that had
our lunches packed.
So I was reaching into my cooler, pulling out this container, and he was like, I want to
know what you did to get those bites.
And I'm like, you know, this is the very first line I ever, ever said in my life.
And it came out like that.
And I'm like, oh, here is the thing.
As a time, I was like, this guy is hitting on me.
I didn't want to be around him.
So I kind of avoided him for the rest of the seminar.
The next day he showed up with a gift for me.
He showed up with his stack system.
Because he really, and then I sat and talked to him
to the last day of the seminar.
And I realized he was not hitting on me.
He really, truly wanted to know what exercises I did to get the biceps that I had and he wanted to feed me
Show them the biceps just so you know, like you have to show the biceps shit
You have to let me like and if you're listening just just jump on jump on the channel jump on YouTube
And you guys see her biceps. They're really amazing. Go to YouTube and check it out
It's ridiculous, so yeah, so what I was saying though, is the one thing that's never changed
is we have always known and been so appreciative
that our meeting was for a reason.
Like it's just, you cannot deny it.
Our dreams also don't show up the way we would think.
So your dream woman, your dream man,
didn't show up the way you would think.
Nope, actually, good.
Right now, and also neither did really the show.
Now a really crazy backstory and I know you're going to appreciate this here but when I was
losing everything and I live in out of my car I ended up running away, came here to Los Angeles
trying to start over.
A buddy of mine landed me a couple of gigs with other production companies and I wasn't
in a place for anything to happen yet. I didn't know that at the time but I remember pitching to a couple of gigs with other production companies and I wasn't in a place for
anything to happen yet.
I didn't know that at the time, but I remember pitching to a couple of different production
companies here.
I said, look, here's this concept of, you know, I go in, I surprise someone and I totally
changed their life.
And more than anything, it's like, I want to be the typeheadington of weight loss.
And I told them that.
And I spoke it. And I wanted it, I wasn't ready for it,
but I just kept saying how to people.
Powerful.
When I met with Heidi,
is one of our very first conversations,
I filled her on this dream.
I was like, you know, what if I could be the type
heading to the wait lots and just go in
and show these people how to do it the right way?
So sure enough, fast forward to this conversation
that with my friend, the casting producer, he says,
let me talk to my boss.
Boss calls back an hour later and says, yeah, hey, we can't fly out.
You want to drive out?
So, Heidi and I, we drive out.
We map what this show would be on their whiteboard.
We ended up making two more trips out to L.A. within about two and a half, three weeks.
I mean, literally just driving back and forth.
I could say, I was only there in the meeting.
I had trained 10 years prior.
I was not a trainer at that time.
I was only there in the meeting to protect him.
Because when I met him, he had debtors coming after him
everywhere.
He owed hundreds of thousands of dollars to debt.
It was incredible.
And to me, I actually visited.
I love the business side of it.
I love it.
And I saw this poor guy that I'm like, I help you I did loans I bought and sold homes I renovated
them I had that that's actually what I did when I met him and so I I
ported into that and I'm like you're not gonna go meet with these people in Hollywood
without me there because you're not gonna give 10% of another company
away to the every company had it was like he ended up being 20% of this
and he was doing 100% of the work.
Cause he's like, oh, you can shoot a video.
I'll give you 10% of my company.
You were just, oh, everything.
And I just kept selling it to everybody.
But you were dating them though.
Yes, we were.
We were because that was.
They were dating at the time.
Is that what you call dating? I'm telling that was too. We were dating at the time. Is that when you call it dating?
I'm telling that to my dear baby.
She's bursting now.
I'm not going to.
Everyone, watch the video on YouTube.
She's blushing.
No joke.
Heidi's in the kitchen, random phone call out of the blue.
And it's the CEO of the production company.
He's like, dude, we sold your show.
I'm like, what? What does this mean? Because we were consultants on the CEO of the production company. He's like, dude, we sold your show. I'm like, what?
What does this mean?
Because we were consultants on the development of the show
and they made it really clear though
that the host of the show was gonna be a celebrity trainer.
Gillian, Bob, they're looked at a Harley-Pastor-Nack
and it's just some of their amazing trainers in Hollywood.
And I was like, oh my gosh, hold on,
hides, they sold the show.
It's crazy. Hey, it's so, so who bought it? He's like, oh my gosh, hold on, they sold the show. It's crazy.
Hey, it's so, so who bought it?
He's like, well, some cable network should go back and forth,
but ultimately, and the guy's the king of building up
that this is how he goes.
But ultimately, it was ABC.
And I'm like, what?
It, ABC Bob the show.
I was like, so, who's the host?
Long pause, You are.
Oh my gosh.
And then literally it wasn't even a, it was a, I did one of these, just phone drop.
I just looked over at Heidi and I said, I'm the guy.
And I said, how? He said, well, they saw, they just saw the videos and they just,
they want that passion for
To your mind at that moment, you're like I'm not ready for this. Yes. That's exactly what happened
One hundred yet absolutely and I went oh
Oh crap that it was leery as it wasn't even at all yay moment
It was an old crap moment. Yes. I said what does that mean? He says it means your pack your bags are leaving in five weeks
And I went sign me up for another coach and seminar. Yeah, that's exactly what we did We did you know yeah, yeah, I think the biggest reason so Chris was under the assumption that all of the transformations have happened
Especially with David his idea and his thought process was it's because I fed him right and I moved him right
He didn't realize and I could see it from the outside, but the reason David transformed for the first time
with Chris and he never couldn't his life before was because Chris was giving him
love. Like he was his best friend, he gave him that care, and that was such a hard
thing for Chris to accept no matter how much I explain that to him, and he felt
completely inadequate knowing, hey I'm gonna do eight more transformations. Yeah.
And in his mind he didn't know how to life coach.
And that's what he was doing.
He didn't even realize he was doing it.
The biggest thing guys is that that moment, the reason I ask Chris is,
did you go, oh no, I'm not ready.
That's the cue that you're stepping into your dream.
Yes.
So if you don't have that response, you're not playing big enough.
You're not going for your real dream.
I love that.
This is such a huge thing for people to get.
I was pretty sure you were going to say that.
There should be a moment, all of you,
where you get into this moment, you're like,
I'm not ready.
That's actually you stepping into your dream.
It's the number one cue.
What is some of the steps that you guys have learned
from doing the show post, during and post the show
to transform yourself?
Let's just use physically for now,
but I think the same principles apply everywhere.
What are some of the steps to change?
How do you do it?
I would love to take this one.
I do.
So.
We begin every transformation by laying out
that there is a true hidden path to transforming everybody's
life.
And it's been there.
It's always been there. But it's been there, it's always been there,
but it's just, it's so clouded by so much confusion.
Everyone's looking for the right kind of diet,
the right kind of exercise.
The path is in integrity.
And we can't have a conversation about transformation
without having a conversation about integrity first.
And this is what we cover.
This is the secret sauce that you don't see on the show,
but this is what's covered
with everyone on day one.
No joke, we talk about their diet and exercise,
we cover that in about 45 minutes for the year.
Done.
Then we say, now that that's over with,
let's have a real conversation about transformation.
None of you, and now we upset a handful of people
in this very first comment because we need to get their attention. We say look
You're all here because you don't have integrity
Yeah, and you could imagine that they just they sit back. They're like, oh, yeah
If you do you know exactly what they're thinking. I said hold on hold on now. Let me let me we need to explain this
First of all, let's talk about what integrity is integrity isity is doing what you say you're going to do when you say you're going to do it when no one else is watching. Now I guarantee
you all have amazing integrity with everybody else in the world. If you tell your friend,
you're going to show up tomorrow at noon, Nancy, when do you show up, says 1155, absolutely
you do. If you tell them that you're going to go ahead and pick up their kids, you're
going to grab you know some coffee for their book club meeting. You're there to go ahead and pick up their kids. You're going to grab some coffee for their book love meeting.
You're there on time.
You do what you say you're going to do when you say you're going to do it.
But I just want to see a show of hands.
And we'll have a group of 30 people before they begin their transformation.
Show of hands.
How many people here said the diet starts Monday?
And everyone goes, we see all the hands go up.
How about 2015?
It's going to happen this year. Every hand goes up up. How about 2015? It's gonna happen this year.
Every hand goes up again.
How about 2016?
Let's try this again, every single hand.
2017.
How about I'm gonna wake up at five o'clock tomorrow morning
and do 30 minutes of cardio.
Every hand goes up.
So you guys are great at making commitments
and keeping those commitments to other people,
but you can't, you can,
but you do not keep commitments to yourself.
And that's why you're all here.
And that's what we're going to change.
This is your year to take it all back.
This is your year to completely change your life, but in order to do so, you need to
honor yourself.
You'd have to make yourself a priority.
We are going to teach you how to love yourself enough so that when you do, when you do give
your word, you will honor that word to yourself.
We believe in you, and you don't believe in yourself yet, but there's a formula to believing
in yourself.
And what we're going to do with every single one of them, they're in such a deep, dark
place because, you know, the folks that we're working with, they're four, five, six hundred
of pounds of trying to get out.
We explain in order for them to get there, what it was, and all we see when we're looking out at this group of 30 people
It's not I don't see 200 extra pounds of body fat on them. It's 200 pounds of broken promises to themselves
Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh
You get it. It makes sense and I know you get it because this is the life that you live because you
It's amazing this this house that you've got all the homes you've got where you've been able to
create it's incredible it's because you have integrity you have personal
integrity first and then that translates into your integrity with everybody
else you just taught me something just so you know big huge thing you just taught
me I want to tell you what it was I don't need to talk about it or you can
talk about it Heidi so I actually probably at one of the roots of my content is how to build self-confidence.
And I have consistently said for 25 years that self-confidence is the habit and process
of keeping the promises that you make to yourself.
Yes, that's the thing.
Having said that though, so I'm glad that we stand there.
You just said something that's a layer deeper than I've said it before.
And you said it's got a connection to needing to love yourself in order to do it.
So one of the things I've not backed that up with enough, man, I just want you to know
like I'm processing that right now, is I've not backed up enough with teaching them the
reasons why they haven't.
And so is it your conclusion that some of that has to do with not loving themselves enough
in order to keep the promise?
Is that part of it?
Yeah, well, and it's that they don't believe in themselves enough. Okay.
When you try and fail and try and fail and try and fail so many times, you don't believe
you can do it.
And it's all connected that I don't believe I can do it and I don't love myself are
directly.
The brother and sister really.
Yeah.
When one of them exists, you're going to not even try at some point.
Or if you say something, you're like, hey, I'm going to do x-ways that you already know before you say it or as you're saying it that
you're not going to actually do it. How do you establish how do you break that
pattern? Is it a social circle that they keep? Is it what do you do to get
them to begin to do it? There's a lot of things. Well first we establish why they
are where they are because we'll ask we'll ask all 30 of the individuals
they're really struggling they're in a deep dark place. How do you feel about
yourself? I hate myself.
I hate myself.
Look at me.
I'm a disappointment.
You hear this common denominator among everything.
So let's map how you got there.
And literally, remember, they didn't start there.
They started with their esteem, their confidence,
their self-love.
It was at a certain level.
And then they made a promise, and they broke that promise.
And so your integrity and your dignity dignity and dignity is that esteem
It's that confidence itself. Love there. It's your twined when you break your integrity
Your dignity takes a hit and then they do it again and then they do it again
And then what happens though that they after a while after so many
So many failures that you start making silent promises. Here's the catch
So it is like hey diet starts Monday and everybody has been in that place where you
tell your family and your friends, hey guys, diet is going to start Monday, I'm doing
it this time.
That's usually where most people start.
And after so many times that they fail that Wednesday, all of a sudden you're in the
break room and you're housing a pizza, and your co-workers are like, dude, I thought the
diet started Monday, you're like, okay, I'm never gonna tell them
when the diet starts Monday again.
But integrity, personal integrity doesn't know the difference.
Whether you say it out loud or whether you say it to yourself.
And so they start making silent promises.
Okay, diet starts Monday.
They'll say it to themselves and sure enough,
they break it and every single time they go lower
and lower and lower in their belief
and their confidence and their self love and their dignity,
it just takes a hit
to find themselves at 400 pounds or 500 pounds
or drinking, you start drinking at 10 a.m.
You start taking your opiates,
whatever it is because the thing is,
you feel so low about yourself
that you've lost your belief in yourself.
So in order to get out, all we have to,
it's so simple, we reverse that process.
And we say, it is our job.
Now, look, we cover diet and exercise in 45 minutes.
Now, it's our job as your coaches.
We're going to get you out of the hole the same way you got in.
And we're going to teach you how to love yourself,
how to believe in yourself, how to be absolutely unstoppable.
And at the end of one year, 365 days,
you're going to do something extraordinary that the world,
their jaws are going to drop. And they see, you're going to do something extraordinary that the world is good.
Their jaws are going to drop and they see what you're able to do.
And that's exactly what we do.
We've done it 76 times.
And it's humans, it's the power of the human mind and the human heart.
And we say, look, here's where you are.
You're in the lowest of low.
You make one simple promise to yourself and we let everybody select with that promise.
It might be five minutes on a treadmill.
It might be drinking extra quarter water.
It might be eat breakfast.
I don't care if it's pancakes or treadmill. It might be drinking extra quarter water. It might be eat breakfast.
I would care if it's pancakes or oatmeal.
It doesn't matter.
Make a promise to yourself and keep that promise.
And that is what we call their power promise.
Power promise.
That's the power promise.
It keeps them in the game of transformation.
It keeps the transformation going.
The power promise, but the idea behind it is to-
You have to keep yourself winning.
You have to keep people winning.
Yeah, I get it. You have to keep yourself winning. You have to keep people winning. Yeah, I did.
You just said the next thing.
It's like once you know you can win at something when you make one small commitment and for
some of our people, believe it or not, it's as simple as brushing your teeth every day.
Like what is one thing you can do every single day that you know without a shadow of a doubt
you can do forever and ever and ever.
Do that.
You check it out the list and you went and you create something called integrity momentum.
That's one of the words that the phrase is
that we use quite often and once you build
that integrity momentum and you master your first power
promise, again, say it's just brushing your teeth
every day for two weeks.
It seems so small and it is so small,
but when you know that's all you've committed to
and you've successfully done it for two weeks,
you feel like a champ and you feel like, I can do that what else can I do?
Yeah, so then it's like all right
Let's add one more thing and you'll continue to build and build until you're well and and the thing I live a bit
Sorry about this whole topic the most is you learn that the power of your word has
That like your word has values And when you speak something,
you start to believe that you can actually make that happen.
In every area of your life, not just weight loss and transformation,
it could be, hey, I want to build a multi-million dollar home on lift
in three-arch bay.
I'm going to do that.
Your word is so powerful because you know everything you say
comes to fruition and you
can manifest it.
I probably have not ever had something said and I don't mean it's disrespectful to any
of the other unbelievable guests that I've had, but I don't think something's ever been
said like the last seven-minute segment here that I agree with more.
Like, and everyone, I want to stay on this because it's so wonderful because you do it
in the most dramatic evidentiary way,
which is someone loses hundreds of pounds.
If you were just listening to this and you kind of started to hear it
because it was entertaining, but you went, that doesn't apply to me
because I don't have 250 pounds of extra weight.
You have your addiction.
Your addiction could be hiding from your dream and watching television.
So, as you, the condition you show up to the show and could be,
you've had this big show and could be you've
had this big dream and maybe you've shoved it so far back in the back of your
mind now because of these broken promises that it's not 200 pounds of weight it's
not alcohol or drugs it's not even maybe a bad relationship it could be all
those things it could be just you're not living your true purpose you've moved
all the way away from it and you're lacking these promises.
And if you started to make them, you're going to get life momentum again. And I so agree
with it being something initially that seems so basic and that you get credit for. So keep if you don't mind, what are you going to do? 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 to yourself, again, whether it's spoken or whether it's silent
following through that, it could be,
I wanna start a podcast, or I wanna create a product.
Stop talking about it, because every time you say
you're gonna do it and you don't do it,
you lose more belief in yourself.
You're gonna follow further and further into that run,
and you won't be able to get out.
But, we have the same too.
Your word has to be more powerful than your reasons,
or experiences why you cannot. Your word has to be more powerful than your reasons or your reason is why you cannot.
Your word has to have power over your excuse.
What makes me think when you're doing it,
like I watch you both talk with this energy.
And it's like, and by the way,
that is part of your giftedness too,
is your transferring energy to people.
All you coach is out there.
Part of it is just transfer of energy to people.
Energy can be belief, love, physical, energy,
like we're talking about here.
But what happens everybody that they're giving you is,
especially those of you that, if you,
the body is the best place to me to transform your life.
Because you can create evidence there.
Even if it's that you're not 400 pounds
or 200 pounds overweight, but you're like,
I wanna get more fit.
The body's a great place to begin
because what starts to happen everyone,
when you start transforming your body,
this mind starts to be like, as Heidi just said, it's almost like
a weapon.
As they begin to grow, as they begin to, they say, okay, look, I make a commitment and I'm
keeping that commitment.
I'd have to keep it for a while.
It's like, oh, what else can I do?
Oh, I'll make another commitment and I'll keep that commitment.
What else can I do?
Now, the social group around, that's incredibly important, obviously, because there is, I
know a lot of people say, you know, you're the average of the five people you spend the
most time with.
And there can be some truth to that, but at the same time, the reality of it also is that
for a lot of the folks, they seem to be a little bit, I wouldn't say stuck in their situation,
but the thing is that they're a social system, whether it's their aunts or uncles, the people
that they're immediately living, whether it's their aunts or uncles, the people that they're immediately living with,
or their friends,
so many of those people are not supportive
of the transformation,
and that is a very difficult place to be,
when one person has this deep longing desire for change,
and they begin to take those steps,
they start to believe in themselves,
and the other people around them start cutting them down.
And so we always say, instead of, you don't necessarily cut off those people because the
thing is, you do have friends and family and there's some times in need for that, but
it's important for you to expand your group.
And when you expand your group, and you also have to understand, coming from a place of
compassion, those people, like your drinking buddies, that wanna go to Buffalo Wild Wings on Friday night
and they're like, oh, can't invite Ed anymore
because Ed's not drinking.
You know what, Ed doesn't wanna have the chicken wings
because Ed's all healthy now.
Yeah, yeah.
He gets, our people get that all the time.
Yes.
So at the same time, why are they saying that?
Where's it really coming from?
It's coming from a place of fear.
They don't wanna lose, and they love you.
And you are comfortable for them, and this is their family, and you're their tribe.
So a lot of times, they might be sabotaging you, not because it's not out of malevolence or maliciousness.
It's just because they're just terrified to lose you, and they love you so much.
And they're so scared because you're elevating your life.
And so it's shining a huge spotlight on the areas
of their life, where they're too scared to change.
This is the hard question.
Someone loses 200 pounds.
They're in your environment, I want to call it.
They're with you through a year.
And it's two years from now.
What has been the results post the structure around somebody? In other
words, do you find a lot of people go backwards? And if they do go backwards, what do the ones
who have go backwards have in common? And the reason I ask you that is, I say to people off
a time in the business world, I have more friends who used to be rich than are currently rich.
Yes. All right, it's really interesting. I have more friends who used to be successful at something than actually currently are.
So there's something that happens where people stop pursuing their identity, stop the
improvement process.
I'm not sure what it is, but what is your experience with the two, three, four year type
results and the ones who don't stay fit?
What do they have in common?
What's the things they do that shouldn't be done?
I mean, we have an answer to this.
Because that has been one of our greatest points of pain
is solving that problem.
I know, me too.
Because, you know, and let's, again, in all transparency,
we were the host and trainers and coaches
on a show that was on television.
And television brings such a unique ingredient to transformation
in that it actually plays off of the individuals,
and not in a bad way at all, but ego,
because what happens is that no matter what,
we would run for 365 days, and that individual knows
that at the end of the 365 days,
their story will be told whatever that story is.
And so they don't want to look bad in front of the world.
And so there is this constant driving force behind it,
and we can sit there, and we can teach them integrity,
and we can take them through that process,
and it is real, and it's happening.
And we actually get to experience the beauty of a human being believing in themselves and
loving themselves over a course of a full year.
That's real.
That's genuinely real and at the end, they've lost 200 pounds.
They get up on stage.
Their chest is out and their chin's high.
They don't care about the fact that they lost 200 pounds.
They're a promise keeper to themselves.
They've got integrity and dignity.
They're living.
Then, but there's also that pressure,
that pressure that was always there.
That goes away.
All the lessons were still there.
The lessons were learned,
but then they go back to Raleigh, North Carolina.
They go back to Topeca, Kansas,
and they go back to that social circle. They go back to their old daily, Kansas, and they go back to that social circle.
They go back to their old daily grind and everything, and sure enough, all those old triggers
start to fall back in.
And we have had over 50% of our people not getting all the way back.
We've only had a handful getting all the way back.
But I would say probably two thirds of our people have gained 40, 50, sometimes even a hundred pounds
back.
A grant of we've helped them lose like 200.
Sure.
They're doing better than they were before, but they've still gained weight back.
They still, and here's the thing.
And again, when it comes to, it could be weight loss, it could be business, it could be
whatever it is that you're looking to do.
We can trace every single one of those backslides.
As they backside, they start gaining weight down to one single broken promise.
It all comes back to integrity.
It has.
And I implore everybody who's listening, even take some moments to think about your friends
who have fallen and they've lost all their money and everything.
It all can be traced back to a single broken promise.
Because where there was one day after the show,
a week after the show, a month after the show,
a lot of them, they maintained for a while,
and then all of a sudden after a month, two months,
three months, they started to gain weight,
and they started to gain weight.
And then when we actually-
Started to get comfortable.
And then when we go back to them,
they said, what was the moment?
So we go back to them, what was your pound promise?
It all comes down to that
foundation. What was that commitment that they made? Was it drinking an extra quarter water? Was it
walking on the treadmill for five minutes? What was it? And what was your power promise? They go,
oh my gosh, I stopped keeping it. I remember there's one day that my husband needed me to pick up
the kids from from school and then this happened and that happened and I didn't do it and then the next day came along and I said
It was just a fluke, but you know what?
I did it yesterday
I'm just gonna do it again today and one day turned into two two turned into three three turned into four and
Four turned into four years and now here I am and I'm a hundred pounds heavier
You link it back to breaking the power problem every single one
Wow, every single one across the board. to breaking the power problem. Yeah every single one. Wow every single one
across the board. I believe that's right. Yeah I believe that's it. Wow. Wow. It's slightly
different tactical way of looking at it. Wow. But that's that is spot on when it comes to what
actually happened. And every time you can always find that one thing. But I think you could. I'm so
sorry. That's the same reactions that they have. When we all of a sudden trace it all the back
all the way back. The gentleman that they helped lose 400
pounds.
He ended up gaining almost all the back.
He got it to 600 pounds again.
He traced it back to one day when he walked into a gas station and he was free of soda
for five years straight.
He walked in there and he went to go put his cup under the diet coke and he saw a regular
coke.
And he thought to himself, I'm gonna regret this.
Filled it up with Coke, went from 250 pounds
to 600 pounds again, and he traced it all the way back
and when we finally identified that, he went,
wow, that was it.
Wow man, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt that.
No, okay, and that's a really important thing
and I think like we said, everyone can trace it back
to one thing, but if we look at it from a different perspective the reality is that the
ones that understood the difference between something we call the
transformation game and something we call the weight loss game completely have
had an easier time keeping the weight off so weight loss game you set a goal in
the weight loss game and you do anything you can to reach the goal of the
transformation game there's actually a purpose behind the goal.
And you won't necessarily always do everything to reach the goal.
You'll do everything to fulfill your purpose and understand and know your why.
It's like the weight loss game we had people like Chris said for camera that would do anything
they could to hit their way in so they could win the prize or you know not be looked at
this way where they were forgetting all the foundational principles. They were forgetting and we can preach it till we are blue in the face. It's not about losing weight
It's about your integrity at the end of the day. How do they get access to you for more of this?
So it's the it's transform if they go into the app store, right? What are they gonna get if they do that? What is it?
They're gonna get a whole new way
that. What is it? They're gonna get a whole new bike. Gosh Ed, you're so fun to talk to you. I get seriously though. I was gonna say, well there's a little story about it.
That's okay. So obviously with the show we're working with. What are they gonna get?
15 people here. Okay, you're gonna get everything. Look, we've mapped transformation and we started
mapping it back in the early 2000s, like a whole journey. And so we made a commitment to ourselves on season one,
where we said, when we can only work with 15 people a year,
but we've got over a million emails from people asking
for help.
And we said, it is our responsibility
to create something with integrity for them.
So how can we teach them what we're doing here?
So we literally, we took three years
to build the largest transformation digital platform
in the world.
And this is physical. We're talking physical here.
Yeah, I mean, you download the app. You tell the app who you are. It's going to ask your
biometrics, age, weight, height, gender. You're going to tell what you want to do.
Yeah, I want to lose weight. I want to get lean and shredded. I want to maintain. I want to gain
some weight and muscle. Well, then you'll ask you, well, what do you have available to you? At home, body weight, you can do an iron gin,
you can do a cross-training facility,
you can do anything.
And we literally, we map the whole thing for you.
We create a totally custom blueprint
to guide you through transformation,
but every week, we jump on there with life lessons.
We talk about exactly what we just talked about today.
We talk about integrity, conquering your fear,
identity, surrounding yourself with other people with support.
And we actually, it's not just an app.
We actually have coaches that will support you
in the process with, yeah, if you choose,
that you want that one-on-one support with a coach,
who does exactly what we do.
So it's a whole ecosystem that we're building.
And we're about speaking things into existence
because it's happened for us.
And there is some in there is power beyond what I can even comprehend behind that
yeah we are building a full ecosystem this is your life street just so you know
off camera guys this is their life street this is a culmination of their
life's work yes really is and I want to say for those people that don't want to buy
an app they don't want to pay for an app, I would even step, I'm all about free, I want people to live their best life.
I would give you, I'm back to this weekend, I have three people staying at my home, it's
just how, the only way we know to be, we have the most amazing free Facebook community.
And so I highly encourage everyone listening that wants to take that step or just wants to
be a part of something amazing.
Okay.
How do they go there?
Facebook search transform with Chris and Heidi app users.
Okay.
You'll land in right now it's a group of 40,000 people.
It was created by the people.
Yeah.
For the people.
They're so, I mean, just the stories and the love and the energy.
It is a place where people grow and become their best selves.
We talked about expanding your circle. If you don't have that love and support at home,
that's what this community is for. We built it for and again, the people came and they
continue to love and support each other. So join us if you don't get that love and support
and you don't have to be an app user. Just join the community. It's absolutely free and
everybody supports each other in the process. Absolutely free.
Okay, so there we go there. Then also, and I want to say once we tell you what to find,
I'll tell you another reason to find them.
And I don't do this on my show normally to this extent, but also Instagram for both of you.
Instagram.
And then probably your YouTube channel, for now, right?
Yeah, the mind for now, I will say I'm in the process of creating one for Chris and
a joint, but mine, and it's real Heidi Powell everywhere you go.
The reason I think that you're too special, I told you this one we met, is that, process of creating one for Chris and a joint. But mine, and it's real Heidi Powell everywhere you go.
The reason I think that you're too are special,
I told you this one when we met,
is that there are people that are good one-on-one,
and there are people that are good in groups.
It's a very rare skill for someone to be able
to truly transfer energy through a camera,
or through, that's why certain people get larger
followings in social media, or certain, frankly,
podcasts or TV shows do, that the ability to move energy through a camera, it's why certain people get larger followings in social media or certain frankly podcasts or TV shows do.
The ability to move energy through a camera, it's not an easy skill, it's something both
of you can do, it's rare that both can do it.
And so, the other thing you get by engaging with them is it's like what you're feeling right
now, you all listening to this, this is rare, or watching it, feel like you're here with
us.
And you watch a lot of people talk, guys,
where you're just, that's not the case.
You're almost passively, you feel like you're here with us,
because that's a skill that they have,
so they can influence you and move you.
So I want you to engage with them.
Now, I just, I love what you're doing.
Thank you.
We're running out of time.
Okay, but one of my, I know, I feel that way really strongly too.
Like, I really do.
We have to do this again.
We will, we're gonna do it again.
I can already tell, but I wouldn't let it go.
One of the things I like about both of you also,
I love is there's also this, this, the two of you.
There's this relationship.
And the same principles, by the way,
it's cool on your YouTube channel.
You cover some of this like Q and A's with the two of you
and stuff like that, right?
What I love and I just want everyone to get a little extra
gift at the end, it's probably a preview of where we'll go next time.
Everyone, but I want to have a little gift here.
I have a lot of content, but one thing I talk about is vulnerability is a gateway to magnify
all other emotions.
It's also the way that you connect with people.
It's what you're both great at.
I am a super flawed human who's willing to share some of my flaws with people, not all of them,
so people can relate to me. I have one that people don't know, right? But I have flaws that I'm willing to share some of my flaws with people, not all of them, so people can relate to me.
I have one that people don't know, right?
But I have flaws that I'm willing to share with you.
I think that's true of the two of you too.
We're not trying to be perfect,
and the two of you don't propose
to have a perfect relationship all the time either as well.
So remember this, they're running their business,
they've been doing transformations.
Let's be real, there was a transition.
You had a very popular television show, not existing anymore.
That had to be a difficult transition identity wise,
I would imagine.
Four children, a business, public personas,
like there's a lot there.
Just how do you navigate your relationship?
And if you're being honest, what are one or two
of the significant issues that two of you
kind of deal with over and over again?
That was a good one.
I can absolutely speak to that.
See, you just hit about four points right there.
And we just for full transparency,
we actually see a marriage therapist here in LA,
we travel because it's really, really important to us
to make sure that foundation is solid.
And we remember, like our wedding rooms,
that's my best friend
and his is my best friend.
It's to remember we're not husband and wife.
We are on paper but we're best friends and how I have to remind myself of this what I
talk to my best friend the way I'm talking to Chris right now or do I need to change
that am I talking to him as a husband that is stuck with me.
And so keeping that in mind is really help but but I will say it is not been easy,
but it's been amazing.
And I think the harder it has been,
and it's true, we've gone through some really massive,
difficult things that would break most,
I think it would break most marriages,
but I think as a result of working on ourselves
and working on each other, working on our relationship,
it is so much better than I ever could have imagined.
Now we'll probably get in the car and something will happen and we'll end up fighting it.
We'll be back in about 15 minutes, I'm sure.
I'm curious, let us have a picture, if you don't mind.
Sure.
How often is there a disagreement, a pretty good one?
I mean, yesterday, even as we're getting into the town,
I didn't like her tone.
So, Ed, I didn't like her tone.
And so, I was asking her a question,
because you were busy responding to an email,
and I was simply just asking her a question.
She's like, I'm busy responding to it.
So, I took out my phone and I was recording her tone.
So, I was intentionally like, hey, babe.
So, I mean, I was talking about this. And she's like, I'm. So, I was stopping on that.
And she's like, I'll literally play for you right now.
Hold on.
I said, I will play for you right now.
I didn't like her tone.
So I left her in the car, and I got her bags out,
and I went huffing and puffing into the hotel.
I checked and said I went up to the room.
Do you remember the snow?
Well, now I do.
And I remember I get in my zone, right?
Where I'm like this, it was one of our people.
He really needed our help.
He was struggling really badly.
And so I was trying to make him feel better.
Hold on real fast.
I'm so ready to play.
I remember walking, I remember walking into the hotel.
And he wasn't there.
And I had my stuff.
And I said, they're like, are you okay, Miss?
I'm like, yeah, did a guy, like,
he really best got it.
Did he really shmussles check into, like, yeah,
he said he were coming.
I'm like, do you know what room we're in?
So I'm trying to call her as a boy.
Oh, no, and I'm not picking up.
Cause I'm like, I didn't like her attitude.
So that's she finally picked up and I said,
hey, I'm sitting on the elevator.
I'm not letting the door close cause it's gonna,
finally, he ends up after a couple minutes, giving me the room.
Nice.
But I had to give him a peace of mind.
I was like, I don't like your attitude
so you need to keep your distance from me right now.
I'm tired, I just don't fight back.
We've got, I kind of am like,
I don't have to say a hundred and navigate.
Yeah, I say, do you want to go work out?
Let's go, you know.
Okay, that's a good tip.
Yeah.
You stay away, I'll play for you after the show.
Okay, if you want, I'll be the only player right now.
You're a UKV player.
I don't care. I'm gonna play for my tone was. It's actually good for me. You're putting my guys, I'll play for you after the show. If you want, I'll be in the lead player right now. Are you okay with placing it?
I don't care.
I'm very good with my tone.
It's actually good for me.
Here, put it in my guise.
I'll tell you.
It's your mate.
See how calm I am.
It's your mate.
You're very calm.
I need to pull.
Baby, I'm just giving a quick overview.
His jam just sent us a text.
I want to make sure no one's listening to anyone that you and I.
That's it.
You're sending this to the team.
I hear you. Oh, that's right. I hear you.
Oh, that's right.
I hear you.
You're the only one who's a comma on purpose.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I hear you.
I hear you. I hear you. I hear you. I So, but I love how he just played that by the way. Does he do that by the way? Well, he, well, he like kind of play up the disagreement escalated or the, and you de-escalate
or does eventually just get away and calmed up.
He completely shifted.
So, I'll say, that was awesome.
Who he married and to his credit.
Because I do think more, who he, I am a very different person than who Chris
married and it's because I didn't believe in myself. I didn't I just kind of
was like there to and so it has been rocky because there's been an evolution of
who I've become and and he was he was the man and still is to me there is no
man like Chris,
but it is as the dynamic of a relationship shifts,
no matter what it is, you kind of come together,
the puzzle pieces fit perfectly as we were.
And so as someone or a side starts to develop or change,
it does throw it off a little bit.
And there have been some growing pains around that.
It's like I was always behind the scenes on the show for the first two and a half years.
Yeah, two and a half years.
It was me in Arizona having people come see with us and no one knew when it was and me
doing the behind the scenes stuff where he was flying because it just one person couldn't
do it and it was when the producer saw that they started pulling me on camera and Chris
like to his credit.
He was my biggest advocate and getting on camera
was the most uncomfortable thing for me.
It's hard to believe right now.
I was terrified, terrified of failing,
terrified of looking bad, everything,
but I stepped down, so I had my comfort zone.
But it started to, it took off and people they loved her.
And it was great and as it started to go,
again, I was always the man.
And everyone kind of supported it
And as her brand started to grow I found myself like
Harboring resentment toward her and this is just after like lots of reflection here like harboring resentment and not wanting it to be
bigger than mine. Yeah
and not wanting it to be bigger than mine. Yeah.
Because of pride, because of ego,
because of the male ego.
But also when I really started doing some digging,
like deep down, I was terrified of her not meeting me anymore.
And then I was scared of her leaving me.
And that's, I'm just being totally real.
And when I finally peeled back all the layers,
that's what it came down to.
I didn't want her to not need me anymore.
Brother, you're unreal.
You are unreal.
Because that's, we said to this earlier in the show,
you're incredible.
This big, strong buff stud.
Like I help people.
And then you strip it all the way down.
But the power of this is, because I've seen this with me,
in business relationships and marriage, everything.
If you strip it all bad guys, me, in business relationships, in marriage, everything.
If you strip it all bad guys, well why, why, what?
You're worried someone's leaving.
Like if you just get to it, like that's so honest.
Like eventually when you strip all the things,
well what if this, what if this, what if it,
it leaves to this place of this fear
that someone's gonna leave.
And it's just miraculous, it's amazing to me
that such a strong man can show what would
appear to be weaknesses, but I actually think those are strengths.
I think acknowledgement of stuff like that is like takes a really strong person.
So even in Heidi's case saying, look I am the one who's changed and grown a lot.
That takes a strong person to admit these things.
I think the two of you, by the way, I just think the two of you are extraordinary.
Like you're extraordinary.
You feel the same way about you.
It's incredible what you've done and what you've built and what you continue to build.
The people that you motivate inspire.
You're here on earth for a very powerful reason.
You are definitely a tool.
The easy ones to change.
There are millions of people who would agree with you that I am definitely a tool. The easiest way to change the line. There are millions of people who would agree with you
that I am definitely a tool.
For sure, trust me.
There are millions of people.
I know that.
That was the correct one.
There are millions of people who are nodding
with you right now going.
You finally describe this guy.
Perfectly.
He's the nicest way possible.
He's a freaking tool.
No, you're not.
I didn't know things were going to happen. I know exactly, brother. I know exactly a freaking tool. No, you're not using that. I know exactly, but I know exactly you meant.
No, I appreciate that.
And I do feel like we're gonna do this again.
I just feel like I already know what's going to happen
that this is gonna be one of these viral things
that takes off because you just don't get this kind of insight
from people that have achieved
with the two of you have achieved.
So last thing, before we go,
I wanna give them just a gift if we would.
Yeah. So cover a little bit.
By the way, the reason I want you to follow them on social is because you'll get almost
this mini reality show that you're watching right here on their marriage, on their family
with their beautiful children.
It's like, it's kind of a blended family initially too because Heidi had a couple kids when
they met and it's just, but they're just a family.
They're just this amazing family just trying to help people just trying to make a difference. So
someone's watching this quick answer I want to change my life. You've given me
all these keys right today. I need to start right now something. I want to start
losing weight. I want to start my business. I want to start finding a better
relationship. I want to start pursuing my faith again. Just give me one thing each
of you one thing that you would say begin here. What would you tell me to do? Tough question, huh? It's super easy.
Okay, cool. Make one small promise to yourself in that division. Wherever you're going,
whatever you want to do, make one commitment that you know you can keep that will get you further
towards your goal. But something you can keep every single day.
Every day.
I would say that first, but since I can also
add one other thing, speak it into existence.
Don't just keep it up here, write it down,
enroll other people.
There's a whole new level of accountability
that comes with that.
And so it's really important that to manifest it,
keep creating it.
You know, you had Dr. Joe D'Spenza on, and everything starts with a thought,
then thoughts turn into words, and words turn into actions, you know, and etc.
So it starts up here, you've got to get it out, and you have to make it a reality.
Okay, awesome stuff.
