Your Transformation Station - 6. Facing Your Fears and Yourself with Gregory Favazza

Episode Date: February 28, 2020

This episode dives into the internal conversations we avoid, the fears we suppress, and the identity battles we pretend aren’t happening. Greg and Gregory explore: – Why self‑transformation must come before helping others – The “two‑mind” feeling we all experience under stress – How fear disguises itself as logic – The emotional cost of ignoring your inner voice – Why humor is sometimes the only way to face yourself – What it means to confront the version of you that resists change It’s introspective, honest, and unexpectedly funny — a reminder that sometimes the hardest person to face is yourself.

What about that interview that we had with Chuck Owens? Is a really good interview. One more, can you get in here. That's yummy, isn't it? It really is. It's really good. Dude, don't drink it all, man. This is mine.

You can't have it all. Don't bitch at me. Nobody's bitching. Dude, it's my fucking drink, bro. I'm not going to, but you don't drink at all. Oh, and then not even the fun fact of it all is, we backed up the mainframe we backed up all the fun fact

you know there's over 100,000 podcasts there's on Buzzsprout oh my god what's wrong with you yeah what was that you have something in your teeth but this microphone's itchy

we can switch we're not switching I'm keeping these I like this one stop laughing Dude, it's not funny. We're putting in a sneak peek. We're going to get this going because we're supposed to be the Rush Limbaugh is what he said, right? Rush Limbaugh.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Transformation podcast. And here is our next week's guest, Chuck Owens. Words of wisdom passed down from one generation to another. You know, ducks quack and eagle's soul. sore, you know, because the difference in life between a duck and an eagle is a duck flies around from pond to pond, you know, and the duck's purpose is to fly around from pond to pond, and when it gets cold, they head south. An eagle, they're always up high in the sky, they reserve their power, they soar with the wind. They're fast, they're precise, and they know

exactly what they want out of life. You know, they feed their young. They're not afraid of much. And they're just up there always watching. Eyes of an eagle, right? Sharp as a tap. The thing is, is that's what makes us strong in America because we're a bunch of eagles.

You know, we always want to, we're not ducks. We don't fly from pond to pond, you know? So in life, that's why we've always been number one up to this point. It's because we always had focus. We always had vision. That's why for my business this year is 2020 vision, you know, because the thing is, is what is our goal? What do we want to accomplish this year?

Is it something that personally we want to just get better? Well, you've got a plan to get better. Is it something we want to make more money? Well, you better plan. Is it something we want to go different places? We want to travel more. You better plan. Everything's a plan.

Well, today, I think that what's happened is people just go with flow, Greg. People are just waiting for somebody else to make the decision. But our generation, my generation, I just turned 50, we followed a generation of the baby boomers that had it all. You know, now did they make all the right choices? No, they didn't. Their kids were spoiled. You know, I was pretty spoiled growing up, even though I left home young.

Thing was, and now what we do is we turn around and we want to spoil our kids. The thing is, we should have spoiled them with education and love and determination and teaching them to believe in themselves, teach them every day. Every day, the challenges that you talk about at the dinner table and how they overcome those challenges is way more important than a new car at 16. The challenges of what happened that day and how it affected that child's life and how they feel about themselves, that's way important, more important than a brand new pony. That's way important than a Christmas tree full of presence underneath it. That's what's missing in America today. America is great because we're strong

and we believed in our Constitution, what made us who we are today, the people we are today. So that's what I want to see. I want to see America, grab the family, and put up their arm around them again and say, you know, it's going to be okay. It's going to be okay.

Why? Because you're going to make the right choices, and I'm giving you the tools to make those choices. And I'm going to support you in those choices and help you get through the challenges in your life, not fix it for you, not buy a way out, but help you get through it. because they can be stronger and grow and all of a sudden have their own vision for what they want in the future, build their own dreams.

And that's what I've made America strong. Henry Ford, the Rockefeller's. They can find a million reasons why those people were evil, but find one good reason what they did for our country and the belief in our country. And that's what I see, the family. It's got to go back to the family, Greg. It's got to go back and we've got to support those kids. We've got to support those ones out there's struggle with them.

teach our men to be men and teach our women to be women. Now, some people want to agree with that because for whatever reason, but I think that today, women are stronger than ever. In fact, to be honest with you, some of those women out there, they've got to put together, most of them, right? And professional women today, right?

Because men have decided to step aside and quit playing their role. I think it's time that men stand up and women stand up and work together to make it better for those kids. You know, that's where it starts. It's the next generation. This is your transformation podcast. Hey, ever thought about launching your own podcast?
