Welcome to the Ask Good Questions Podcast.

18
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:10.560
I am the host, Anita Bell Anderson, and I am

19
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:13.719
really looking forward today because we are going to be

20
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:17.840
talking to somebody who has really been through a lot,

21
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.040
So we're gonna be talking about resilience and a whole

22
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.480
lot more. I'd like to invite to the podcast stage

23
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:25.719
Ty Gibson.

24
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:28.680
Hello, Hello, how are.

25
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:34.200
You welco Tie? So, if you're not familiar with Ty,

26
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.439
let me tell you just a little a little bit

27
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:37.280
about this guy.

28
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:43.079
He's a speaker and a mindset advocate whose message is

29
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:47.000
built around one core principle, and that is that there

30
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.040
are no options when it comes down to doing what

31
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.159
it takes. And you're going to hear a lot about

32
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:59.000
his whole no options philosophy today. He's faced life altering

33
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:03.040
health challenge that forced him to either grow or die,

34
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:09.319
and he's learned firsthand that progress comes from discipline and

35
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:14.919
ownership and action not excuses. So today he speaks to

36
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:20.800
leaders and athletes and everyday people about mental toughness and

37
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:27.360
resilience and choosing to grow when you have no options. So, Ty,

38
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.039
for the listeners who are meeting you for the first time,

39
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:37.439
what what are those key moments that were in your

40
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.319
journey that shaped who you are today?

41
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:41.319
Well?

42
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.120
You know, you know, And well, first of all, thank you,

43
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.759
thank you for what you're doing, and I really appreciate

44
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.439
you know, having me today because I enjoyed sharing these

45
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.759
stories with with with folks. But the question going back

46
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.439
to where were some of my journey? Where did this

47
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.840
stuff start? As a kid though, But I want to

48
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.840
tell you I was raised down in Southeast Sextus and

49
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:05.479
it was that the.

50
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:08.719
Aged myself a little bit here.

51
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:14.719
But in the seventies, you know, as a kid, my parents,

52
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.479
my dad especially was one of those guys had dunt

53
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.319
doll boy, you'll be okay, nobody wants to hear your problem, right,

54
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.639
and so, and I think that was just a generational type,

55
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.759
you know, mindset of people back then and and so

56
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.639
growing up, I kind of thought.

57
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.639
That was a little harsh. But but what I didn't.

58
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.120
Realize, and I think this is one of the key

59
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.360
moments I didn't realize it was really preparing me for

60
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:41.639
my road ahead.

61
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.639
Because I needed that little bit of.

62
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.039
Grit that that just to be able to push through

63
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:51.840
the road that we're going to talk about. And and

64
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.759
that started when I was eight as a juvenile.

65
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.000
And again did.

66
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.680
Idea it's pretty common in the seventies. Now, the technology

67
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.439
wasn't there, right, I mean, it was, as we know,

68
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:08.159
a lot of.

69
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.680
Things have changed, yes the seventies.

70
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.120
And and so I was diagnosed at the age of eight,

71
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.240
and I was put on this you know.

72
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:18.920
With the age of eight.

73
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:20.199
Correct.

74
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.600
Wow, So I mean and just I was a normal kid,

75
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.120
you know, I was just a I was over you know,

76
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.519
want to be a kid playing sports, you know, doing

77
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.920
all the things a normal eight year old kid does,

78
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.480
all the little leagues and you know all that, right,

79
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.560
And so all of a sudden, just my parents realized

80
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:40.279
that I.

81
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.720
Was just out of gas. I was just really tired.

82
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.079
And so anyway, come and find out I was diagnosed

83
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.680
there with pipe one juvenile diabetes.

84
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:54.000
And so got on the insolent shots, went through all that.

85
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.240
Which was really as an eight year old to go

86
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:57.439
in there and find out that I was going to

87
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:01.199
take shots every day. It was really just a big overwhelming, right,

88
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.439
never been you know, sick of day of my life.

89
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.839
And then all of a sudden, all of this. So

90
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:10.800
that was a lot. And then they could never control

91
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.079
this diabeta. And so by the time I was ten,

92
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.319
they finally got me to a specialist, uh uh, a

93
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:22.839
juvenile diabetic specialist who was working on a very neat thing.

94
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.240
And it was in the seventies.

95
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.600
It was a chemotherapy machine that they were putting insulin

96
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.560
in and.

97
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:31.800
And therapy machine.

98
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:32.920
It was a chemo.

99
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.360
It was a chemotherapy piece of a medical equipment at

100
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.680
the time, and they would put in they would put

101
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:40.120
influent in it so that it would give me a

102
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.759
slow drip of insulin over time, which we all know

103
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.879
today is the insulin pump, right right, And so I

104
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:50.399
was one of the early ones testing out the newer

105
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.160
model of these some of the new technology in pumps

106
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:55.040
back in the seventies.

107
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:57.879
So so that was my first.

108
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:04.720
Really big battle with kind of just being different, right,

109
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:06.839
trying to fit in, trying to be a normal kid.

110
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:10.639
Why can't I have the birthday fakes like everybody else

111
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:12.360
at these birthday parties or.

112
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.480
Whatever that may be, right, But that was my first one.

113
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.120
But you really need to be part of that insulin

114
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.160
pump kind of testing model through through and that kind

115
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.240
of went on for years. Me for for the next

116
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.480
many years, I was part of the insulin pump as

117
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.439
it got better and better and better and better. So

118
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:33.519
I wrote the way out for a while.

119
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:41.800
Well what what you know, So you're gonna the next thing.

120
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:49.920
Let's move into You've had three organ transplants.

121
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.240
Correct, is that the type one diabetes?

122
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:55.240
Did that lead to the necessity of having those transplants.

123
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:56.360
Well, yes, I.

124
00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:00.360
Mean, and so being being a diabetic obviously and really

125
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.519
out of control diabetes there for a while causes some

126
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:04.920
kidney shouting, right.

127
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:07.040
So, so as I.

128
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.720
Was talking through the years, I went through differentness on pumps,

129
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.319
and I mean, I went to college, you know, all

130
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:16.079
these different lifestyle changes that you go through as a

131
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.600
kid into a young adulthood and so on and so on.

132
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.959
But anyway, at the age of thirty, I'm out of

133
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.360
my you know, working in my career, I'm working on

134
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.360
all this. I just I got extremely tired. So I

135
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.399
go in and then I found out at that point

136
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.360
my kiddies were faith and I was like, oh wow.

137
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:35.560
But here's the deal.

138
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.319
The doctor said, Ky, the problem is is you're kiddy

139
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.120
and failing, but you have such brill diabetes.

140
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.560
If we just do a kidney, I'm afraid you're.

141
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.040
Just going to keep going through kidneys because I'm afraid

142
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:52.480
that your diabetes is going to continue to really challenge

143
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:56.439
these kidneys. So he said, there is a doctor in Baltimore,

144
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.920
Maryland that is doing a dual transplant where they would

145
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.600
a kidney and a pancress transplant at the same time.

146
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.639
Oh my, so and you're in Texas, and so you.

147
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:14.439
Had to travel, yes, ma'am, across the country, correct, I mean.

148
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:19.360
So I'm in Austin, Texas there in Baltimore. So I

149
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.439
go up there just to find out if I'm a candidate,

150
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:22.399
and sure enough I am.

151
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.759
I get there, go through days of testing, come and

152
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:27.439
find out I am a candidate for this.

153
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.959
So my mother, who was sixty at the time, says, time,

154
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.879
I'm sixty years old. I have two kidneys, and one

155
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.320
of these is yours. If the doctor says it's okay,

156
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.559
I want to donate my kidney. Wow, she said, I

157
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:45.480
feel like that is a my role and I want

158
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.320
to do that. And I said, yes, ma'am. So as

159
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.200
we went through the testing, my mother tested and sure

160
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.600
enough my mom was a match, which was very exciting.

161
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.639
So after testing for her.

162
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.399
Now keep in mind, I can get a kid from

163
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.919
a living donor, but to receive a paper it is

164
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:05.080
it has to come from a deceased donor, right, So

165
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:06.960
I'm put on a list.

166
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:07.879
Right.

167
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.000
So, and this is where I always.

168
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:15.919
You know, somebody made a decision to be an organ donor,

169
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.879
and I never have gotten to meet the family. But

170
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.799
I always I am just very thankful for whoever that

171
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:26.440
may have been. But it absolutely changed my life. And

172
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:29.720
and and and I just always say thank you. And

173
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.080
if and you know, if you're not an organ donor

174
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:35.320
and you have questions about it, I would absolutely encourage it.

175
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.399
If if you're if you have if you have thoughts

176
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:40.720
about it, I would be glad to help.

177
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:44.519
Talk you through that. But so I get on this

178
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.320
list now and I'm waiting. And so the doctor told.

179
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:49.919
Me, if type you don't go into Alice's, you have

180
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.960
a better shot of of of of accepting the organs

181
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.159
without rejection. Your your your your rate of non rejection

182
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.240
is much better if you don't have to go in Dallas.

183
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:04.600
So I was determined not to go in Dallast but

184
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.039
I kept going, and I kept going. We got to

185
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:10.519
about months six six, probably six and a half months

186
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:12.720
in I finally went to the doctor. And I would

187
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.000
go to work still, but then I would work and

188
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:19.360
I would come home and by six o'clock I'm back

189
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:23.480
in bed because I couldn't so but just to get

190
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.679
back through the day. So I had, you know, very

191
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.919
little lifestyle at all. And at the time I had

192
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:30.679
a six year old daughter, and I'm a single dad.

193
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:34.799
So it was really challenging times. My family was very

194
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.600
helpful and through those times, but it was really hard.

195
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:43.360
And so I get the thing about this surgery was

196
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.600
they had been four surgeries and two of them had

197
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:52.120
been successful. And so I had a decision to make, right,

198
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.399
I mean, I've got a six year old, but I

199
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.519
knew this. I knew I wanted to be there for

200
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:02.879
her in a better stay. Yeah, having to be put onto.

201
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.720
Aalyastas, and I mean I knew I wanted.

202
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.080
To be here for her life, right. I wanted to

203
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.799
be here for her, and so I had to make

204
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:11.759
a decision. And this is kind of where part of

205
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.120
the no options mindset comes in, though, is I didn't

206
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.559
I I said, look, I don't have an option but

207
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:20.240
to go through this surgery.

208
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.320
And I know it's been a fifty to fifty shot, right,

209
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.840
but this is I'm going to be the one decision

210
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:29.879
to make. Yeah, And it was really hard.

211
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.480
I mean, so you're looking at this six year old,

212
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.360
you got the you know, it was just some hard times.

213
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:36.440
But I'll tell you.

214
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:42.320
We got through the probably month seven or so. I

215
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.480
finally told the doctor couldn't go to Warriston. I've got

216
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:46.960
to go about and so he brought me in. He

217
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:50.200
put the stint in. And I will tell you that

218
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:53.840
was on a Thursday, on Sunday night, about midnight, I

219
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:56.440
get a call from Baltimore and they're like, hey, Ty,

220
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:00.200
we've got a pankers at Matches. I need to get

221
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.320
you mobile, get your mother mobile, and let's get on

222
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:04.840
the you know, let's so you.

223
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:07.120
Had you had to then jump on a plane and

224
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:08.519
fly to Baltimore.

225
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:10.559
Yeah, and it was really it was.

226
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:14.519
It was an amazing story because the local area here

227
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.840
in Austin. I had did an interview that about what

228
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:21.039
was going on in one of the newspapers. Anyway, there

229
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:25.200
was a company that caught and offered their private plane

230
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.240
so that when we got the call, I would be

231
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:28.639
able to just get on this plane and.

232
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:29.919
Go oh wow.

233
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.039
And it made it. I'll tell you that was.

234
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:36.000
I mean, it sounds a really simple process, but when

235
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:37.799
you're going through all that stress and all in the

236
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:40.600
moment and all that, when the call comes, it was

237
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:43.759
it was a blessing that they were there to really

238
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:46.480
just take care of that. I'm always very thankful that.

239
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.000
So anyway, we got the call, we get all mobilized,

240
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:55.360
it's kind of like the moves right, you get there, hurry, Herry, wait, wait,

241
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:58.480
and they you know, go paperwork, and they're getting you prepped.

242
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:02.200
And so in this room in Baltimore and the surgical room,

243
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.000
I'm in the middle. My mother said, they have a

244
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.360
team working on my mother, getting her ready, and then

245
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.559
they have the organ that a team is working on it,

246
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:13.120
preparing it for me right, to put it in me right.

247
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:19.879
So sixteen hours later I went, and I will tell you.

248
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:21.720
It was.

249
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:23.840
It was the most amazing thing. I wake up from

250
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.759
my after recovery. My mother is in a wheelchair sitting

251
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.240
beside me, and she was doing great, which was a

252
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.360
big stress of mine too.

253
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.000
I had a sixty year old mother that was going

254
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.440
through this and I wanted to make sure she was good.

255
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.200
So to see her was a relieve.

256
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.519
But I'll tell you my body was in such shock

257
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.519
because think about it, you're putting too far in or

258
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.279
you know, organs in your body right, because your body

259
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.759
is not familiar with so it's kind of naturally fighting.

260
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:50.919
I woke up.

261
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:56.799
So now I'm taking sixty five peels a day and

262
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.519
sixty five peels a day, and I'll I'll tell you

263
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.799
half of them will probably are less than half are

264
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:08.879
anti rejection meds. But it is all this stuff that

265
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:12.320
the anti rejection meds side effects right, the cause of

266
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:14.840
this and that. So it was just a lot of

267
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:17.840
medicine in my body for somebody had never taken medicine

268
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:18.720
other than insulin.

269
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:23.080
It was a lie. So anyway, the doctor said, time

270
00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:23.919
you can get through.

271
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.759
The first year, you're gonna be okay. The first year

272
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.279
is the most critical time. And I'll tell you this,

273
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:32.759
almost to the date of the year, that was the

274
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:35.279
most challenging year I've had, because I mean, you have

275
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.960
good days because they're trying to regulate it. To their defense,

276
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:40.840
they had an amazing team they were working on trying

277
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:41.840
to regulate this, but it.

278
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:42.679
Just takes time.

279
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:46.720
And so anyway, close to the year, I'll tell you

280
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:50.519
it was probably within a week or so of that year,

281
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:52.720
it's like the lights went off, right.

282
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:56.120
And there was a local interview there or medical interview

283
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:56.600
that I asked them.

284
00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.559
They said, what is the difference between your life before

285
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:00.720
the search three and after?

286
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.600
And still to this day, I think I described the

287
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:04.919
best and it was.

288
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:08.639
I said, it's like living life in full color versus

289
00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:11.519
living in black and white. Yeah, and just I mean

290
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:14.759
I felt but I didn't realize how bad I felt, right,

291
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.080
and so what an amazing time. But I'll tell you,

292
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.600
Anita and I like to talk about this because we

293
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:25.679
all have stories. I mean mine, I've had some challenges,

294
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:28.279
but we all have something we're dealing with.

295
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:30.720
You know, you know, having just come from Hawaii, being

296
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.799
Hawaii for your the they say talk story.

297
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.639
Yes, they talk story in Hawaii.

298
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:39.200
Yeah, which I love that.

299
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.279
Actually, yeah, yeah, when you're just doing that, you're talking story.

300
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:50.000
Well, you know, the thing was was I I didn't realize.

301
00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:54.039
How much how bad I felt. Yeah, but I after

302
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:55.159
that year, I got going.

303
00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:58.120
And I'll tell you on the other side of whatever

304
00:15:58.159 --> 00:15:58.799
we're dealing with.

305
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.360
And I always truy it teach a little bit here

306
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:02.039
because I want to.

307
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:05.399
I want people to know whoever's listening to know that

308
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.279
today you may be taught to stuff. We may be

309
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:12.720
going through some relationships of medical whatever that looks like business.

310
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:16.159
Whatever. I will tell you on the other side of

311
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:18.279
adversity is some amazing things.

312
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.559
Amazing things because after this now, after that year, I

313
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.120
was I was able to get married, I was able

314
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:29.639
to adopt our second daughter, and then I was able

315
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:34.440
to start. Our companies had got to start. And so

316
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:39.120
I will tell you it's worth the fight. Whatever that

317
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:41.679
wall looks like or that how I'm not sure how

318
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.200
deep the ditch feels, but on the other side.

319
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:48.000
Of it, it's some amazing things. We just have to

320
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:48.879
stay focused.

321
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:54.080
Shall pass right, absolutely what I think people and you

322
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:55.919
can talk, I know you talk a lot about this.

323
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.879
Anita is the power. My mind is a power full fool.

324
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.680
And I will tell you, and it doesn't matter how

325
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.720
much money someone has, how much whatever, we have the

326
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.640
tools we need, each and every single.

327
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:13.480
One of us. We have to look in the mirror

328
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:15.920
and realize we are the ones that's going to make

329
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:17.519
this happen. Now.

330
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:20.200
I know there are some some some some instances where

331
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:21.279
that's not always the case.

332
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:22.519
There may be some medical.

333
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:25.240
Things that that's not the case, But in most of

334
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.160
our situations, we all have the tools to work through.

335
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:33.119
And do you think that was where this your whole

336
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:40.920
no options thing started? Was Yes, realization coming coming through this.

337
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:42.519
It really was, I mean.

338
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:47.680
And the thing was though, is I knew I had,

339
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.680
you know, I had a daughter that I needed to

340
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:55.079
get to the other side for. Yeah, I knew I

341
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:56.960
had to be there. I didn't have an option. I

342
00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:00.319
had a daughter I needed to be there for. You know,

343
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:05.319
find your why why may be different, but find it, yeah,

344
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:08.079
find it. I mean it may be your friendship, it

345
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.119
may be your relationship, maybe your family, whatever that looks like.

346
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:13.400
How do you how do you think?

347
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:14.039
How do you think?

348
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:19.000
This changes how you think about time and priorities.

349
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.960
It's absolutely change my mind, you know, I always say,

350
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:24.880
but in every day to me as a bonus day,

351
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.640
I get up every morning and put my feet on

352
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:30.960
the ground and I am just thankful that I'm here.

353
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:34.240
And I'll tell you this one of the things I

354
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:36.279
have learned through this and I want people to realize

355
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:39.480
and when early on, I did not ever think that

356
00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:44.279
I needed to take care of myself as much as

357
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:46.519
we need to take care of ourselves. And when I

358
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:49.680
say ourselves, our mental, our state, when I talk about

359
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:54.519
our mind, you know, there's a reason on the airplane

360
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:57.240
when that oxygen masks drops, they say, and put it

361
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.400
on yourself before you can help others. Right, Yeah, and

362
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:02.400
then that's life. Right. We've got to be able to

363
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:05.079
take care of ourselves before we can take others. And

364
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:08.079
that's kind of the way my I needed to take

365
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:09.960
care of myself to be able to help her.

366
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:11.079
But but I'll.

367
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:12.640
Tell you one of the things I have really learned

368
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:15.480
through that is is mental you know, whatever that looks

369
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:17.240
like for each of us, right, But I do. I

370
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:19.920
get up in the morning and I spend some personal time.

371
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:23.799
I mean, fifteen twenty minutes, whatever you've got. But I

372
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:29.960
absolutely booked time for myself right about what's the day, like,

373
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.799
what are today's goal and then not only write them

374
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.359
or think of I visualize. That was something I used

375
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:40.200
to not ever do because I thought I don't have

376
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:40.839
time to do all that.

377
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:41.839
I don't have time.

378
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:45.319
But you need to make the time. You find the time.

379
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:47.440
And I'll tell you a difference.

380
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:49.359
Because that because I think a lot of people, if

381
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:51.960
they're hearing this, they're gonna think about and they're going

382
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:54.240
to focus on the physical side of it.

383
00:19:54.960 --> 00:20:00.720
But really that mental I when I get up in

384
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:01.960
the morning, that's.

385
00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:07.359
What I'm doing, is I'm spending time reading and meditation

386
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.759
and prayer and I'm just doing this whole process every

387
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:13.119
morning before I get started with my day.

388
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:17.359
Absolutely, I mean, you know, and I'm a faith based guy,

389
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:20.240
and so prayer time to me, is is very important, right,

390
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:24.119
and so I used to kind of do that on

391
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:27.000
the run. When I'm on the drive to work, I

392
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:27.720
stop doing that.

393
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:28.440
I do it.

394
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:32.559
I absolutely carve out time art and I'll tell you

395
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:35.839
it's made a difference for me because I think again,

396
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:40.559
we we sometimes we neglect our self needs sometimes as

397
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:43.319
far as the mental state and our and our and

398
00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:47.319
our like you said, meditation, things of that nature. And

399
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:49.519
I think it's something that i've very I've learned that's

400
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:51.559
definitely something we need to stay focused on.

401
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:56.279
Well, what would you say, let's get out, let's get

402
00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:58.640
down to something. I always like to get to something

403
00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:01.680
that's actionable in some thing that people can take. What

404
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:06.240
are some daily habits and routines or mindset practices that

405
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:06.599
you do.

406
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:07.880
Now, Well, I'll.

407
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:09.839
Tell you I've got there's three steps that I have

408
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:11.839
come up with that I when I'm going through my

409
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:13.759
my when I go when I look back on it,

410
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:16.319
I have a three step process. So when I run

411
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:20.000
into an adversity or I run into a wall or

412
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:21.079
get in a ditch.

413
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:23.079
This is three simple steps.

414
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:27.599
Because the word, uh, you know, be think positive, be

415
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:30.240
a positive thinker is a set a blanket statement.

416
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.640
Yeah, and when when someone's in the ditch.

417
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.599
Or looking at this wall they can't get over, that's

418
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:42.799
a hard that is a hard statement to digest. So

419
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:44.680
what I did is I broke it down into three

420
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:47.720
simple steps. And so when I run into something this

421
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:50.880
is this is a really simple I look at it

422
00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:54.240
and I say, in this situation, am I going to.

423
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:57.720
Grow or die? Am I gonna let And that's what

424
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:00.200
we do. We grow or die? This is what So

425
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:02.200
what we do is grow or die. And so I

426
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:03.599
always say, am I gonna let this win?

427
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:06.079
Or am I going to somehow take figure out a

428
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:09.279
way to get my leg up on this and win?

429
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:12.119
Yeah, So that's what we do.

430
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:16.720
Number two, it's hope or despair. That's how we think.

431
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:18.799
And is it gonna be the Am I gonna be

432
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:20.960
played the victim party? Why did that time about be this?

433
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:21.839
Why don't I have.

434
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:26.839
To go through multiple transplants? No, find the silver line,

435
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:27.799
find hope?

436
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:31.039
Right, you can be there now talking about this and

437
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:32.119
helping somebody else.

438
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:36.160
Yes, I hope we can touch somebody. But but that's

439
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:38.240
what how we think, right, We got to be hope.

440
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:41.839
It's hope or despare is number two and number three.

441
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:44.319
This is the one kind of gets people some time

442
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:45.680
and humor or drama.

443
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:47.200
And that's how we talk.

444
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:50.839
And when I say talk, I'm not saying talk to

445
00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:52.119
to just other people.

446
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:54.079
How we talk to ourselves.

447
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:58.359
A lot of times we're a work here, the voices

448
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:00.640
in our head that we're talking, telling ourselves we can

449
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:01.200
or can't do.

450
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:04.359
But what I do is I find some humor in it.

451
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:06.640
Like I mean, sometimes it's sick, you know, And I

452
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:10.359
mean it's just something silly to me. It's something silly

453
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:12.240
to me, like, oh my god, that's what I don't

454
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:14.000
have to you know, I don't have to take sixty

455
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:15.960
five fields a day. I only take thirty five fields

456
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:16.440
a day now.

457
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:21.400
And I but but you know, some people are like,

458
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:24.039
oh my god, he's thirty five fields. But to me, yeah,

459
00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:25.640
but I used to take I used to take sixty

460
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:31.119
five or perspective something that is I got.

461
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:33.680
You got to laugh sometimes, you know, sometimes we just

462
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:34.680
need a good laugh.

463
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:39.559
So do you do you can you feel yourself?

464
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:42.200
I mean, have you trained yourself now that.

465
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:47.599
You can feel if you're going into some discouragement so

466
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:48.880
that you can turn it around.

467
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:52.039
I do absolutely, And in that and that goes into

468
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:54.319
and you can talk about this as well.

469
00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:56.839
But that's you know what I didn't realize.

470
00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:59.279
And as I've got into this, I've studied and I've

471
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:01.839
gotten this, you know, visit with some of the doctors

472
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:05.960
and stuff on the mind we train our brain is

473
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:09.680
just like muscles that we work out. It's there's no different,

474
00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:12.119
right and and the and they tell me, they said, Tom,

475
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:14.480
if you go to the gym, if you want to

476
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:16.640
start working out and you want to, you know, start

477
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:20.079
getting muscles, do you go to the gym and come

478
00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:21.759
home tonight and go where that?

479
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:25.440
Or do you know that You've.

480
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:28.359
Got to start going to that gym three days a week,

481
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:31.000
four days a week if I want to see results.

482
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:34.440
Our brain, in our mind is the exact same way.

483
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:38.200
We've got to keep working at it because.

484
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:41.480
Naturally, naturally, and when we run into.

485
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.319
A situation, our brain is going to go to the

486
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:46.839
area that it's trained to.

487
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:49.680
Is that negative or is that a positive?

488
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:53.599
Right? And so it talks about the neuropathways and all

489
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.359
that neuroplassic There's a lot of things that go into

490
00:24:57.400 --> 00:24:58.839
this study.

491
00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:00.400
But you're brain.

492
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:04.079
We train our brain to think certain ways. Now that

493
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:07.079
doesn't mean that I'm a positive thinker all the time.

494
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:10.079
I do run into things sometimes and I find myself,

495
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:12.920
as you just talked about, maybe going down that negative side,

496
00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:15.880
and I immediately go time, am I are you gonna

497
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:18.359
let yourself really grower to eye? Here?

498
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:20.680
Are you know you're gonna what are you gonna do?

499
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:22.319
And then how am I going to think?

500
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.119
And don't let yourself talk yourself in down that because

501
00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:27.079
you can get into a rabbit hole real fast.

502
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:29.720
Yeah. So these are just three steps, but I want

503
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:33.319
to go back, grower, doze. What we do, hope we're despared.

504
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:36.640
What we think humor or drama is how we talk,

505
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:39.519
and when we do those three things gets what that

506
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:43.440
blanket statement of being a positive thinker gets, it comes

507
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:44.079
into alignment.

508
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:44.799
Right.

509
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:50.759
Awesome, Well do you what has all this stuff taught

510
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:54.480
you about listening to your body? Can you? I mean,

511
00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:57.880
I mean, because what you were just talking about was

512
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:00.680
kind of like the mental part of it. Can you

513
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:04.200
feel now that if you're if your body is a little.

514
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:08.319
Bit off, absolutely, you know, And I'm noticing more and

515
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:11.720
more as I mean, I am definitely more in tune

516
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:14.039
with my my body.

517
00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:14.680
And understanding it.

518
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:16.559
And you know part of that comes with us, just

519
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:18.160
you know, as I get older, and I.

520
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:21.319
Understand the part of it too is taking the time.

521
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:25.640
To take care of your body, to listen, to understand

522
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:28.160
what you're feeling, or understand what that means when you

523
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:28.559
do feel.

524
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.240
Yeah, there's there's a I'm sure you've heard this saying.

525
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:34.799
It just made me think of it that if you

526
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:39.759
don't take time for your health, then later on your

527
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:42.079
health is gonna or your bad health is going to

528
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:43.640
make you stop.

529
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:48.440
That's correct, absolutely, you know. And so, but I want

530
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:50.319
to I don't want to stop there because I want to.

531
00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:52.079
I want to finish the story because it even gets

532
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:52.920
better if you give me.

533
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:57.400
Just so, after I received that, rights don't last forever.

534
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:03.720
So my pancreas lasted for twelve years, So for twelve

535
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:07.799
years I didn't have diabetess, which was absolutely amazing.

536
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:13.319
Wow. And so and then my mother kidney, my mother's

537
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:15.680
kiddy lasted week for twenty years.

538
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:20.599
So in twenty nineteen, now I've got a ten year

539
00:27:20.599 --> 00:27:25.119
old daughter. At this point, I've got I've got my businesses.

540
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:28.000
We've got forty five employees at this point in time.

541
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:32.960
The business is growing fast and we're you know, and

542
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:37.559
and my find out my kidneys are failing me, and

543
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:38.720
immediately they put me on.

544
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:42.680
Dallas because you have you have your mother's kidney and

545
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:45.240
then you have your own kidney.

546
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.319
Well, my kiddies have failed. So I had my mother's

547
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:50.079
kiddy and.

548
00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:51.880
My kidney just had one kidney.

549
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:54.319
I just had the one kiddy, and my mother's kiddy

550
00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:59.079
started to fail. Right, So I've been put on the Alasis.

551
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:05.119
And so now three days a week, Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays,

552
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:06.960
I would get up at four thirty in the morning

553
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:11.400
and I would go to Dalasis until nine thirty and

554
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.599
then back to this mindset my dad taught me as

555
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:16.880
a kid, dust off, you'll be okay.

556
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.119
I didn't tell anybody. I would go to work and

557
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:23.559
try to like nothing was happening. My family knew that.

558
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:25.720
I did not like to talk about it, you know,

559
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:27.000
that was just the way I was raised.

560
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:29.680
Nope, you know, so I would go in there and

561
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:31.920
try to be like because I was the face, I

562
00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:34.039
was the guy that kind of got everybody going and

563
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:36.079
in kind of the raw rock guy of the group

564
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:39.880
and anyway, so I would go in there and do that.

565
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:42.799
But it just got harder and harder and harder.

566
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:46.680
So finally my sister was set to be my donor.

567
00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:49.240
And then right there at the last they came back

568
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:54.640
and said my sister's kidding wasn't gonna work. So my

569
00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:59.400
my wife, who was a different blood type, and she said, ty,

570
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:01.559
I cannot watch you go through this dallasis And I'll

571
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:03.920
tell you guys this, If you know somebody going through

572
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:07.559
dallass say a prayer for them, because that is a

573
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:12.400
tough place. I mean, it's a hopeless place in a

574
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:14.720
lot of cases because people were just waiting to get the.

575
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:17.519
Right organs or whatever that may be right. So it's

576
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:20.200
just hard. I will tell you.

577
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:23.319
My wife says, I can't watch you go through this anymore.

578
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:24.559
It's just hard.

579
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:28.400
But in the meantime, she asked me if we would

580
00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:28.680
go down.

581
00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:30.240
We were going to a family or your union, one

582
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:33.799
of her extended families, and she said we were there

583
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:35.680
that weekend and she said, Todd, do you mind telling

584
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:38.519
the story? I said, Crystal, if they want to hear

585
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:40.480
my problems, I'll be glad to share it with me.

586
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:44.640
So I told I told my story, and on the

587
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:47.359
way home that night, like four or five of them

588
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:50.039
texted me and said, hey, thanks for shared.

589
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:51.559
I've signed up.

590
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:53.599
You know, we're going on to be a you know,

591
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:56.160
signed up to order donars. Hey, that helped me hear

592
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:58.640
your story, helped me through X wherever that may be.

593
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:02.200
And I thought to my self, well, how selfish should

594
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:06.960
buy if I can simply tell my story.

595
00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:08.839
And help other people. Wow, And it kind of goes

596
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:11.880
back to that Hawaiian thing, you know, storytelling.

597
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:14.599
I mean, it's important we all have stories, and I

598
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:18.160
encourage people to share because you don't ever know what

599
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:20.000
the personal on your right or left is going through,

600
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:22.079
and that might have been the perfect time they need

601
00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:27.680
to hear your story. So that really changed my mindset

602
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:28.960
a point of times about it.

603
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:32.400
But my wife says, how I can't see do this.

604
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:35.400
I'm going in and I'm gonna donate my kidney and

605
00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:39.599
return somebody that matches you will get will donate.

606
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:41.839
Their kiddy to you and move you up on the list.

607
00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:46.319
So she goes in and she does all the blood work,

608
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:48.960
and she she calls me and she's crying, and I'm like,

609
00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:50.279
what is wrong?

610
00:30:50.559 --> 00:30:53.680
And she says, ty, I match you perfectly.

611
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:58.000
So Benita to say all that I received my wife's

612
00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:00.119
kidney six years ago, and I tell you it's in

613
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:04.880
the best six years of my life. And these the

614
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:07.880
cool story is is the six year old daughter that

615
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:09.759
I talked about having to leave and I want to

616
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:12.480
be here far. About three months ago I got to

617
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:17.319
walk down the aisle. So see it was an amazing story.

618
00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:18.480
Again, on the.

619
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:21.720
Other side of some of this adversity is some amazing things.

620
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:27.039
Well, how can somebody start building that kind of mindset

621
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:29.359
if they're if they're in the middle of, you know,

622
00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:32.559
something that just seems impossible. Where would you tell them

623
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:34.640
to start small.

624
00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:36.640
You know, we're not going to change it overnight.

625
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:43.000
Yeah, small steps, take small steps, and celebrate the small winds.

626
00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:47.079
Because so much we set this long goal of we're

627
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:50.559
going to do this, and we don't celebrate the small

628
00:31:50.599 --> 00:31:53.400
winds along the way, right, kind of stop and smell

629
00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:56.079
the roses. Right, Sometimes we've got to really think about that.

630
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:00.519
And what I say is, if it is to you know,

631
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:04.359
to start walking a mile a day, well maybe today

632
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:06.160
you can't walk a mile, maybe you can walk.

633
00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:08.400
You know, you can walk for ten minutes.

634
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:14.000
I was listening to somebody who started her transformation by

635
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:16.359
just walking to the end of the driveway and back.

636
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:22.079
Yes, So I mean whatever that small step is, because

637
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:23.480
I truly believe.

638
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:26.079
That one percent rule is such a true story.

639
00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:28.359
Right, if we can get one percent better today, just

640
00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:30.039
say where we're going to be in six months of

641
00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:34.119
the year. Right, So find the small things, and I

642
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:37.160
encourage it. Don't try to change the world overnight.

643
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:38.799
Take something small.

644
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:40.119
You know.

645
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:42.119
One of the stories to talk about, but he is

646
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:43.799
a guy that wanted to start working out.

647
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:45.279
He said he would get up.

648
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:47.680
The first first day or two, he got up and

649
00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:50.039
got dressed to go work out. He didn't make it

650
00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:53.079
to the gym, but he started getting up and getting ready,

651
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:55.440
and then the next day he'd get up and get

652
00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:57.279
ready and he went to the gym.

653
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:00.680
And then but he didn't work you know, but he

654
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:03.519
started taking the steps to get there.

655
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.640
And so what I encourage people to do is find

656
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:11.240
something small and celebrate the small wins.

657
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:11.880
Right.

658
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:19.279
Well, you're you're like this successful businessman too, and so

659
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:22.880
you're you're you're out there, I mean, you know, just

660
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:23.680
listening to you.

661
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:25.720
You know, here you are building a business and you're

662
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:30.759
dealing with all this stuff. What has adversity taught you

663
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:31.799
about leadership?

664
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:34.640
You know, it's taught me a lot.

665
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:40.599
First of all, I I love people, and it's taught

666
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:45.880
me to really appreciate everybody in whatever form and fashion

667
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:48.319
they come to us in, right, whatever the state they're

668
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:52.480
in the present moment. And I think it's helped me

669
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:55.000
in a lot of ways because I feel like, I mean,

670
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:56.880
there's a lot of times at work we taught work,

671
00:33:57.039 --> 00:34:00.240
but I love, I love to get to know people

672
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:02.680
and love to try to help people. Not I mean,

673
00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:06.839
life's too short to just worry about work, yep. I

674
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:10.199
mean how can I help you as a person? And

675
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:14.440
we grow as a business partners together, right or as

676
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:16.599
a team, how do we get better? And that that's

677
00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:19.440
a side, But as a person, how can we work

678
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:21.920
with each other? How can I help you? Because if

679
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:24.079
I can't help you, maybe this isn't the right spot

680
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:27.199
or vice versas a lot of times it's me helping you,

681
00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:28.400
but also them helping me.

682
00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:29.639
I mean, we help each other.

683
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:33.760
And so I really believe it's helped me understand that

684
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:37.400
we all come in different shapes, form sizes, and different

685
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:41.239
experiences and we're all doing with different things, but understanding

686
00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:44.280
and listening to each other because this world is a

687
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:44.960
tough world.

688
00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:46.840
I always say, we got to throw our arms from

689
00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:48.079
each other and help each other.

690
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:51.239
Versus trying to find out what's wrong with each other,

691
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:55.119
how much better somebody is than each other. Bringing all that,

692
00:34:55.239 --> 00:34:58.239
let's how do we help each other through this? And so, yes,

693
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:00.440
adversity has definitely helped me believe it.

694
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:03.960
Yeah.

695
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:06.840
So with all the health stuff that's in your background,

696
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:10.320
did you feel like there were moments when when you

697
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:12.400
felt like things were impossible.

698
00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:12.679
With your business?

699
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:16.239
Absolutely did, and I walked through that.

700
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:18.920
Yeah, I mean there were days. I mean, just like

701
00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:21.320
I think it was just like any business owner, small

702
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:24.760
business owner. Small business is hard and it's just I mean,

703
00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:28.360
but as you know, it's part of the biggest the

704
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:31.920
US economy. I mean, small business carries this you know,

705
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:35.119
this country in a lot of ways.

706
00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:37.440
But it's the hardest thing. And I think it was

707
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:39.320
the hardest and the thing I ever did in my life,

708
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:40.840
but the most rewarding thing I ever did in my

709
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:41.519
life as well.

710
00:35:41.960 --> 00:35:46.320
So there were days were really hard, and but I

711
00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:49.679
mean there there were times, I mean I just you know,

712
00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:54.320
I put my head down and prayer and find out

713
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:55.840
what was the best thing to do at this moment.

714
00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:57.599
At this point in time and again go back and

715
00:35:57.639 --> 00:35:59.679
take it a small step to get through it.

716
00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:04.639
Well, what would you you know, I'm just thinking again

717
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:07.599
about you know somebody that if whatever people are going

718
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:11.639
through as they're listening to this, what would you want

719
00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:13.719
them to hear from your story?

720
00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:17.400
Well, I want them to hear that that I mean,

721
00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:21.880
I'm those you know byonic guy or I'm know something.

722
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:23.559
I have nothing special, I'm not.

723
00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:27.039
You know, we're all we all have the tools we

724
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:29.199
need kind of what we talked about earlier, and so

725
00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:33.480
do you. So does every person listening. It's a matter

726
00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:37.599
of whether we're going to just determine, determined to do

727
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:40.760
what we need to do. To take a small step,

728
00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:43.960
don't take the big leads, and don't be frustrated. We

729
00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:46.000
don't that first leaps not where we need it to be.

730
00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:48.920
Take the small steps and celebrate. Take a small another

731
00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:51.719
small step, and keep celebrating. But I will tell you

732
00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:54.840
it's it's it's not easy.

733
00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:55.960
But you know.

734
00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:59.280
What what is Yeah, at the end of the day,

735
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:01.000
what is easy?

736
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:04.679
Well, you know, I'm just I'm thinking too tie of

737
00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:09.280
what what what it is that we can control? And

738
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:12.159
when you think about it, at the times, you know,

739
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:15.119
like a few years ago, I had a hip replaced.

740
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:19.199
There's things that you are just completely not in control.

741
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:23.119
Right. You go into that hospital, you go into that surgery,

742
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:27.239
you're out and somebody else is taking care of you,

743
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:29.559
and you don't have any control over that. The only

744
00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:31.360
thing really that you have control of.

745
00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:34.119
Is is your mindset.

746
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:38.320
Right, that's right, And be thankful for what we have

747
00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:41.320
at this moment in time, like you can. You know,

748
00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:43.880
I think nowadays two with all this social media and

749
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:46.880
all these you know, different things and ais and all

750
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:49.880
this stuff, we allays the things that we wish we were.

751
00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:51.920
There, We wish we could have this, or we were

752
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:56.559
doing something different. We're all blessed in our own ways,

753
00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:59.639
and we we we you know, be.

754
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:02.199
Be excited where we're at and what we can do

755
00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:04.320
with what we have in front of us right now.

756
00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:09.320
Right, Yeah, it's like what what can I What can

757
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:09.599
I do?

758
00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:11.960
What can I you know, instead of I can't do

759
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:14.960
that or I can't do that, it's like what can

760
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:18.039
I do to help myself?

761
00:38:18.280 --> 00:38:19.280
Really?

762
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:19.559
Yeah?

763
00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:21.639
How do you how do you hold on to hope

764
00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:24.000
when the outcome seems really uncertain?

765
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:29.039
You know? And that's a good point. Because I would

766
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:31.840
tell you as a you know, going back to my.

767
00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:34.639
Daughter, I used to. I used to really it was

768
00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:35.880
hard when I would go to.

769
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:39.320
See graduations and I would go to friends graduations, and

770
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:41.519
I never thought I would be able to be there

771
00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:42.199
for my daughter.

772
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:43.280
So I never dream.

773
00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:46.119
I would not let myself dream that far out because

774
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:46.719
I never thought I.

775
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:51.480
Would be there. Yeah, I never thought I would be there.

776
00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:54.400
And so to see her walk me down the aisle

777
00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:57.440
to see her graduate, you know, to see my adopted

778
00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:01.000
daughter who we got at birth, who's now fifty and

779
00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:04.400
she get ready for her graduation in a couple of years, Yeah, it's.

780
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:06.239
Just been a blessing.

781
00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:10.239
And I don't take for granted of any day, right,

782
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:12.840
I mean, I mean, like for the season, and I

783
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:15.880
mean I've got my fifteen year old has soccer practice.

784
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:16.920
I go to practices.

785
00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:19.800
I love them because that's a moment I need to

786
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:22.559
watch her and be there with her and enjoy the day.

787
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:25.440
I don't for granted in anything, you know, because we're

788
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:29.840
not promised anything, right, So but I I just.

789
00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:33.800
I'm very thankful for all we get.

790
00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:38.199
Well, do you feel like this no options mindset is

791
00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:40.400
what real resilience looks.

792
00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:41.960
Like I do.

793
00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:45.119
I do because here's the thing. Sometimes, and this may

794
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:52.039
sound a little harsh, sometimes we're too soft. Sometimes we

795
00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:56.480
just got to quit complaining because it's easy to complain.

796
00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:00.599
Quit complain, and let's figure out how what we can

797
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:04.400
do to get there versus what we don't we don't

798
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:06.920
want to do, because because if we don't do anything,

799
00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:08.039
that's what we're gonna be.

800
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:13.760
In the same spot tomorrow. Right, yeah, yeah, So let's.

801
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:15.920
Do something to get us to the you know. And

802
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:18.840
so I always dis encourage people. You know, let's let's

803
00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:21.599
tough it up a little bit. And I know again

804
00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:23.840
I'm going to go back because I I know friends

805
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:25.719
and I've got people that don't have that.

806
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:29.119
Control that there are some circumstances that that's not as easy.

807
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:32.800
It's easily said to don't right, in a lot of cases,

808
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:37.079
it's up to us. It's absolutely so think that way.

809
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:41.880
Don't give yourself a plan B, because it's too easy

810
00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:44.519
to take a route out when we give.

811
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:45.039
That plan B.

812
00:40:47.719 --> 00:40:51.840
Well, our time is just about up. I always am

813
00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:53.480
amazed at how quickly.

814
00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:55.519
Time goes.

815
00:40:56.559 --> 00:40:58.880
I spend a lot of time talking about living with

816
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:01.920
purpose and have it. You know what your what your

817
00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:04.880
purpose for your money is what your purpose really is

818
00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:08.320
for your life. So what would you like to leave

819
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:10.039
our listeners with today?

820
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:16.280
You know, I I would say it's it's always again

821
00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:18.960
And I brought it up well to go. As I've

822
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:23.519
gotten through a lot of this, I just realized each day.

823
00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:24.880
Is so valuable.

824
00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:29.400
But again, we live in a really tough world now,

825
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:34.320
I mean, and I and I encourage everybody. Let's try

826
00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:40.840
a little harder to help one another versus bear one

827
00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:41.519
another down.

828
00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:45.199
There's a little bit of this goes a long way, absolutely,

829
00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:47.440
And I mean, we don't all have to agree, we

830
00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:49.639
all don't have to look at the same thing, but

831
00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:53.159
we can be respectful and we can help each other through.

832
00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:55.360
And I encourage I encourage that.

833
00:41:55.280 --> 00:41:57.880
Because again that goes into a mindset of how we

834
00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:02.679
look at them. Just because someone looks at differently doesn't

835
00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:05.880
mean that they're wrong. It's just the way they look

836
00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:08.800
at it, booth. But to me again, it simply said,

837
00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:10.320
put your let's put our arm run each other and

838
00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:12.559
help us through. Uh. And I encourage you to find

839
00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:14.320
somebody to put your arm around and go share your

840
00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:16.760
story because you never know who you can help.
