You’re Not Lost—You’re Being Called: How to Trust Your Intuition & Step Into Your Purpose

What if the feeling that something is missing in your life… isn’t confusion—but a calling?

In this episode of Relentlessly Authentic , we sit down with Will Hernandez, founder of B.ALL.IN Apparel, to talk about what it really takes to trust yourself, take risks, and step into the life you feel pulled toward.

Will shares the story behind his brand—how following his intuition led him to create something meaningful, and how owning both his gifts and his struggles became the foundation of his success.

Because the truth is…
your story isn’t random.

Your challenges, your setbacks, the things you’ve been through—
they’re shaping your message.

We talk about:
– why your “mess” is often the doorway to your purpose
– how fear, doubt, and excuses keep you stuck (and how to move through them)
– why taking action is the only way to build confidence
– and how what we call “risk” is often just the unknown we haven’t trusted yet

This conversation is a reminder that clarity doesn’t come from waiting.
It comes from moving.

From listening to the voice inside you that keeps nudging you forward—
and choosing to answer it.

Because your purpose isn’t something you find someday…
it’s something you step into every time you choose courage over comfort.

We also explore the power of gratitude, and how owning your journey—every part of it—creates a life of abundance, fulfillment, and alignment.

If you’ve been overthinking your next move, doubting yourself, or waiting to feel “ready”… this episode is your sign.

You don’t need more time—
you need to trust what’s already calling you.

SPEAKER_00 0:22

Why, hello, everyone. Welcome back to Relentlessly Authentic. Today we've got a guest.

SPEAKER_03 0:28

Morning, everyone.

SPEAKER_00 0:30

Morning, morning. Today we have a guest, y'all. His name is Will. He is an owner of a brand called Be All In. And we're excited to dive into his entrepreneurial spirit. But before we do, why don't we all drop in? So Will Gab, anyone who's listening, if it's safe to do so, let's go ahead and close down the eyes. Maybe roll your shoulders up and back, opening your chest and your heart center. Maybe a hand to your heart, a hand to your belly. Starting to send our awareness inward. Let's take a deep breath. Inhale through the nose. Fill up your belly. Audible exhale, sigh it out and let it all go.

SPEAKER_05 1:20

Let's take one more deep breath. Inhale.

SPEAKER_00 1:24

An open mouth exhale. Let it go. Pausing in some of the presence that you just created for yourself. Sitting in the calm and the peace. And when you're ready, we can all start to blink open our eyes. Maybe stretch a little. Yeah, roll out the neck.

SPEAKER_02 1:44

That's my favorite part of the record of every recording.

SPEAKER_00 1:48

Yay. Okay. Alright. So uh Mr. Will, fill us in. Tell us what we all in, and what was your intention or inspiration for starting it? It's a clothing brand. And why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself, why you started it, and we can go from there.

SPEAKER_04 2:09

Yeah, yeah, it's a brand. Right now it's on clothing, so apparently it's a clothing brand, but as a whole, it's a brand. So started the brand about 2017. 2018. The idea came to me in 2017. Then chose March until maybe 2018. So proper understanding how that worked. The inspiration came to me from I was working with youth at the time that were experiencing some behavioral challenges. Just needed some motivation. So I was just trying to see what I can do to motivate. Well I saw a need that the generation was lacking motivation and inspiration, really. Because they're motivated to get into some trouble, to make certain choices, but they were lacking the inspiration. And so I was just trying to figure out what I can do to help them out or to just be that inspiration for them. And so this word came to me because they're always trying to sell stuff, right? Youth, they're always trying to sell whatever to make money. So I was like, okay, so they're into selling, right? They're hustlers. They're young, they're entrepreneurs, really.

SPEAKER_05 3:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 3:17

Just on the let's just make it some bad choices. But anyway. So the word balling came to me because balling sense to higher status, make more money, however you want to interpret that. So I just put that on the whiteboard. I was like, messing with it. I was like, okay, I can't do balling because I'll really take it. It's just some, I don't know. So I was just messing with it. I just instantly put the period between be all in, teaching, teaching people that when you put your mind to something, when you put your intention to something, and you give it 100%, you can actually change the course of your life in a positive way. And so I looked it up, did the search, it wasn't taken. But right away I was trying to figure out how do I do this, how do I make it mine. And so I applied for the uh trademark and got approved a couple months after that. And then from there, it just started taking off locally. So I knew right away how I started my brand, the foundation of it, is really gonna impact the longevity of it. And so I knew that I had to start off with a strong structure, with a strong foundation. Because the end result was I wanted to go big, of course. Because not just local people needed inspiration, the world itself needs inspiration. And so right off the bat, I just again, what I found out in life, even when I was a youth, is that for me, everything started as a song. And so I envisioned my brand worldwide. And I just started to walk in that path, right? I started to operate in the name itself, being all in. And so doing that, just the right connections, the right people, the right resources started coming to me. So I've never, even to this day, so people that are watching, world, because there are people that still understand what it is that I do. I've never made a shirt myself. I've never bought machinery, I've never bought equipment, I've never made a piece of clothing in my life. I don't make clothing. I have a brand that it happens to be on clothing. So right off the bat, I knew that if I wanted to scale and I wanted to go big, I needed to do big things. And so the right resources, the right people just started coming to my life. And so even to this day, I've never had a mentor to teach me how to do this. It was always just stop that turned into things that happened to just get in my path and lead me in the right direction, keep me on the right direction. And so I just learned to partner with manufacturers. I had one in Texas, the warehouse, one in North Carolina, actually, and one in Europe. So what I did was, again, I learned how to make a website, make that real nice, whatever, and then attach that website to that manufacturer so that when people order, they get the ticket, fill it, and ship it for me. So that's what I did right off the bat. And my first order actually was to London, the United Kingdom. So London has a place in my heart because of that. And then my second order was a collaboration with, at the time, it was Britney Spears' husband, Damasbari, his family, and Lil Fitzday. She collaborated with me. So I built connections and Beverly Hills, the nut hole area. And then it just started taking off from there. Locally, nationally, and internationally, it's just all page off that. Again, the original, the original motto for that, for the brand was if you want to start balling, you gotta be all in. And now you see it all over class. People are sharing it all over social media. Again, they don't know where it came from or whatever, but it brings traffic to my page, so it's already free advertising for me. So so that's the brand, right? So with that, I started building collections under the umbrella of be all in. So there's never quit and there's never fold because it's a storyline and everything's connected, right? So for me, it's with the original model is if you want to start balling, you gotta be all in. Never quit on yourself or never fold on your goals and things. And recently, though, that model evolved. It's still the same, but it evolved when I collaborated with the UFC fighter, Miranda Maverick. She had posted something. It's in everything you do, be all in. Which is pretty cool. I like that. So it's really, I like it. So it's evolving everything you do, be all in. Never quit on yourself and never hold on your goals and dreams. So everything's connected. That's the inspiration. It's really to inspire people to number one, look within. And two, be confident in your calling, your cooking. Just do it. Check out, be all in, give it a hundred percent and just go for it. We don't need one thing I've learned in building this building is that I don't need any outside validation. There isn't anything or anybody that can give you more validation than I can. Because I've learned that everything is within outside stuff, really, that's good for motivation. But really our the inner work is what's gonna help us to really find a call in and purple, refine that and gift it to the world. So so yeah, so so for me, that's the brand, that's the inspiration. Really straight to the point. And I remember when that connected with the uh with the family with that family beverage, one thing that that they said was, man, what stood out was just the bold letters across the chat. It says, I we really like that. Just white, straight to the point. It's right there on the black T, it pops. We really like that. Because for me, everything was intentional, intentional. Because it's black and white. There's no gray area. You're either all in or you're all out. You're either gonna do it or you're not. So for me, that's why it's black. I sit on the chest right here. Because when I show up, or whoever wears the brand shows up, that's what it is. That's exactly that's it. It's straight to the point. And so for me, everything is intentional. Everything was intentional with the brand. And that's where it pops, and people are attracted to it so much because it holds a frequency in it. It's not just something that was just a hobby. From day one of inception, I knew on a vibratory level that this brand is gonna be worldwide. And that's what it is, and that's what it's doing right now, and that's where we're at worldwide.

SPEAKER_00 9:42

Wow. That's awesome. And I feel like it's perfect for this new moon, Aries, like that we're doing this on this day right now, because it's all about action. It's all about being all in, it's all about taking forward momentum and taking action. And I think we can pussyfoot around, like be like, I want to do this, but I'm scared, or our nervous system's holding us back. And I think that's why inner work is important. Because if you do want to be all in on something, you have to have the internal and the internal drive and power to know and believe in yourself and what you're creating. And like you said, it holding that vision and envisioning it already being done, right? That's a huge part of manifestation. Walking as it's already done. It already is. You already are it, you're already attracting it, you're already magnetizing it. So that's really inspiring, Will. And also, I think it's amazing when you're in soul alignment. And I think you things gravitate towards you and you find the next step when you are in true soul alignment with what you're supposed to be doing. Do you feel that way?

SPEAKER_04 10:50

Yeah, no, absolutely. I think it's all about alignment. Some people call it conscious handle. That inner voice has got to be aligned with your habits, right?

unknown 10:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 10:59

And if it's not, that's when you start to see where the exit are. Because again, and what people need to understand is that life isn't a window, it's a mirror. And it's always gonna go back to you. It's always uh, it's never anything or anybody else. I like to say people facing the thing. It's never that. It's always uh always so when people say, Man, I don't know what's going on, well, go look in the mirror and talk to yourself. Find out what's going on. Yeah, do that mirror work, what some people call it. But at the end of the day, it's self-accountability and that's it. It's always self, always self. And so when we get with self and we build that connection, that alignment, or that relationship with ourselves first, I believe that's number one, like I said, accountability, and two, true loyalty for me. Because you're loyal to yourself, right? You learn to keep your own word to yourself. Because if you can't keep your own word to yourself, how do you expect someone else to look at you and be like, okay, that person's gonna keep their word to me, to me. You know what I mean? You're just not gonna be that person. No one's gonna want to follow you, no one's gonna look up to you. You're not an inspiration if they see you going back on your own words. So building yourself first, and then you can gift yourself and you're and you're calling to everybody else. Well, first it starts with yourself, and that's the whole that's the whole brand right there. It's being all in. Look within, be all in with yourself first.

SPEAKER_00 12:36

Yeah. It's like being devoted. You have to be devoted to yourself, devoted to the journey.

SPEAKER_04 12:42

You have to do, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:44

Do you feel like will like you had done a lot of work prior to being all in on the brand and like really making those moves that made that decision easier or more like you had already been coming into soul alignment like with this mission?

SPEAKER_04 13:01

I feel like even as a kid and hearing stories from my parents talking about things, I've always had that magnetic personality. I feel like that was just something that was given to us at birth. We have certain gifts and talents that were given to us. It's the beautiful journey that we get to discover what that is. We have to fall in love with the process. It's not really the end result that matters, it's who become in the process of it that matters. Being always being present. We give word definitions. Nothing is either good or bad. I think William Shakespeare said that nothing was either good nor bad. Thinking makes it so. So we give definitions to what we perceive as good and bad. So, so so understanding that, what I might seem bad or find bad, someone else might find good. So, really, why stress on anything? Just go with your journey. It's already laid out. We wouldn't be here if we weren't on the right path already. We get distorted, we get clouded with society, the things of the world. We I get that. Human things. Once we know, once we again, once that inner work is solidified and validated within ourselves, navigating life with the understanding that it's already laid out. We just have to walk it. So just enjoy the process. And so I think I've always had that as a child, and even through school and stuff like that, I just always knew that I was gonna do something bigger. Um, I've always wanted to make a name for myself. I've always wanted to stand out, I've always wanted to be just that person. And I was and I think that I've just always had that. And so that's what I feel like I'm doing. I'm still that individual. I have never lost myself. And I think that's what, as people, that's what we need to do. We need to go back. Just sit down with ourselves. That's that's ancient scripture. There's ancient text that people just go into the wilderness and fast. Just be with yourself.

SPEAKER_05 15:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 15:09

Discover who you really are. And I think that's very important to find out exactly who we are.

SPEAKER_02 15:17

Yeah, at a soul level.

SPEAKER_00 15:19

I think that is it's profound. And I think sometimes like you said, we let the human constructs and conditioning really influence us. But I think a lot of the ancient wisdom that we could perceive as not scientific, right? It's back in the day. I think there's a lot of science now that has come out to prove more of these ancient wisdoms and techniques and purposes. But it's like we almost need to be convinced of them from like a logical perspective, instead of intuitively just feel feeling and knowing and being in touch with that sense and that sense of intuition. And I think that's the most powerful self-knowledge, right? At least to me, that's what I got from Molabis, right?

SPEAKER_03 16:10

Is that if you just allow your intuition to guide you in everything, then you will be a little you will follow the aligned path, right? But we do allow other sort external sources to get to us, like you said, and kind of find logic to things when there's many things that they there's no logic to, right? But if we would just allow our intuition to take the lead, it's not gonna misguide us. It's not. There's still gonna be struggle, there's still gonna be things that come our way that are obstacles, right? But I think that at the end of the day, everything always works out. I always say that no matter what happens, everything always works out. Does it mean it's gonna be easy? Doesn't it mean the path is not gonna be far? No, that's not what it means at all. That's not what following your intuition means. But if you just tap into yourself, and I think for what I'm hearing from Will is that he's always been very connected to himself, to his intuition since he was very young. And that's why this has been, this has worked out the way it's worked out, right? He has never lost the connection to himself. Where I think so many other humans or the majority of the population, we allow ourselves to to be programmed to be manipulated and convinced that we are not as powerful as we really are. Because we know that now. We know how fucking powerful we are. We know how strong how powerful our mind is and how powerful our intuition is. We can do whatever we want to do. We just gotta, like he says, you just gotta put your mind to it. You just gotta be all in. And for me, when when I really understood what that meant, being like what the movement behind the brand was, I it really resonated, which I'm sure it does with so many individuals. You see it and you're like, that's cool. But then when you hear what it really comes from and what it stems from, and not just that, right? The passion that comes with it, the intentionality that comes with it, and then you see other people wearing it, and the other people wearing it believe in that, right? Believe that you have to be all in, believe that you gotta wear this to believe it, to behave it, to become it, right? And when you get to the point where you really do believe that, you're unfucking stoppable.

SPEAKER_00 18:34

You really are. And I just it makes me think of this point of your intuition, in my opinion, is like your greatest technology. That's the greatest technology that we all have internally, and we all have that access to it. It's like the highest form of technology. We live in a material world that we've created as humans. But if we take that bird's eye view, like our intuition is what connects us to the greater sense of source. And so when we talk about finding yourself, in my opinion, I think you're finding that sense of intuition into something greater and to realize and accept yourself as more than just like your material world and what you've been told and conditioned to. And you come back home to the fact that like you have a mission, you have a purpose, you have a soul, you have a heart, and that connects you to this kind of greater sense of source. And again, if you allow that to guide you and trust it and have faith in it, it never really steers you wrong. Yes, you're gonna have struggle because that's a part of your growth of the soul. It's a part of your path in order to learn the lessons you need to learn to further your mission, your purpose, who you're meant to influence, who you're meant to inspire, who you're meant to help along this soul journey in this soul path. And that's why we have the podcast. That's why Will has the brand. You're you don't have a job, right? You have a divine mission. And that's how I've started to rework that in my brain because it's I don't really subscribe to like the conditioning or the matrix. I'm trying to come out of it as much as possible. And so, like for me, it's yeah, we have to work. But what if actually we get to do it and we get to be devoted to our mission? And that's the reframe. And I think really what comes of like your entrepreneurial spirit is that you want this sense of freedom. It's like Will said earlier, it's not that you don't want to do things or you don't want to work or you don't want to whatever hustle. It's that you wanna have you wanna know why you're doing it. You want to have something that you're deeply fucking rooted in, that you're inspired to, that you're inspired by, that you're lit up by. And I think that can change and mold as we go down the path, and that's okay. But what would you die for? What do you have energy for? What would you live for? I think we have to get down to the brass tacks of that when you're maybe struggling to find that in yourself or in your journey or in that point. I think asking yourselves and getting quiet and like being in stillness and journaling and asking yourselves those questions is a important part of the process if you're a little lost, which happens often.

SPEAKER_03 21:12

And I think being lost isn't necessarily, I mean, there's obviously different, right? Like different versions of being lost. But I think people see as, oh, me being by myself or I don't know, for me being alone, especially this last particular year when I just lost the community, right? That whole thing happened. I mean I had to spend a lot of time on my own. It fucking sucked at the beginning, but I realized we've talked about this, but I realized how important it is for you to be with yourself, not by yourself, but with yourself and really get to enjoy the solitude. And it's in those moments when you're by yourself, when you're on your own, that you that Will says, right? You take a look in the mirror and you're like, What the fuck? What do I do from here? Where do I go from here? And you You get very tapped in to yourself, right? Things start to show up for you. And this is maybe this is what you and you just have to learn how to trust, how to trust and have the belief in the process. Sometimes we want to force things and you have to learn that if things are not working out, you need to take a step back and revisit everything and see why. Okay, maybe this is just not the right path. Even though I want to do this so bad or I want this so bad, it's it's not the right time. Divine timing, it's not gonna work out right now. And there's a purpose for all of that. And I think that when I think of when I've thought of like the whole be all in brand, I've because I've sat with it a couple of times. And it's like what I told you the other day, right? When I'm like, there's all this shit going on in the world, right? In front of us. But it's being able to see past that, right? Being able to see past that. You have this vision for yourself, and it doesn't matter what's going on in front of you. You're gonna get there, whether whatever it is that you have to do. There can be a big ass accident, there can be fucking war, there can be your family, this, but it's not like you're not, you need to not lose sight of where you're going. You need to be so fucking in alignment with your purpose that yeah, there's things going on in your life and you're tackling those too, but hey, you're you still have your head in the game and you're not losing sight of that because that you're meant for more. We know that we are here for a reason. And I truly fucking believe that, right? We are here to show up, and not so much for myself, but for others, because what I believe in, what you believe in, what Will believes in, is something that needs to be shared, needs to be shared with everyone. And I think that the only way you do that is by keeping at it, right? That's what greatness is. That's what inspiration is, not for you to fucking keep it to yourself and put it in a little box and be like, oh, I'm gonna only access this. We're not gatekeeping this stuff. This is for us to share it. Our greatness is meant to be shared with the world, just how he's done it. And what I find interesting is that he's not doing a fucking thing. It's all doing it on its own. That's what I find interesting. And I also really that for Will, he's not like pushing sales, right? He's not pushing sales, right? It's just like, hey, whoever line with it is gonna come in and do it. And I think that right there, having that intention behind it is what's made it so big.

SPEAKER_00 24:48

You're not attached to it. It bec it allows itself to grow the movement and allows it to be bigger than just yourself. And to me, that's what true greatness is that yeah, you might be the one guiding or steering or taking action on this thing, but it's you're inviting others to see themselves in the movement. And then that inspires themselves and hopefully inspires another. It's that beautiful trickle effect that we get to rise and fall and be supported and guided together, right? That we're stronger together. And I think that's what raises the frequency, that's what raises the energy, that's what raises the consciousness level. And I think you in your beingness gets to affect another and gets to help another. And it doesn't have to be pushed or forced. It gets to just be in your frequency of who you're being. And then from that mission, like what beautiful things come of that. And I think that's something to be and to be really fucking proud of, and to have that devotion and confidence and sense of self and sense of self-trust and show up in that way. Will, I heard you're pretty into Joe Dispenza.

SPEAKER_04 26:05

Yeah, Joe, there's a couple of others. Yeah. But I want to say that you guys you guys touch on how it things right now, and a lot of great things on this. It's great to be in the presence of other people that get it. But very rare. There's not too many people that get what we do. We're just not on a podcast just talking. We're on a podcast to change lives all over the world. This is what we do. This is our calling. This is our purple.

SPEAKER_00 26:33

Yo, I'm emotional. I feel a lot of tears in my eyes right now.

SPEAKER_04 26:37

It's who we are. We've taken the calling. We heard the calling, we answered, we cared that we're on it. And here's who we are. And we're gonna do it until we can. That's just what it is. And so with that, you guys said some things before I forget. I think that we were placed here, I think Gabby said, not by we're not here by accident, obviously. We're here with the purpose. And I think that as we start to learn about ourselves, what I found is like we are here, we were placed here with a mic instilled in us, navigating us like a GPS. That's called an IGF, I call it an internal guidance system, that small voice, that gut feeling, right? We used to call it that. I don't know what happened. I don't hear people say that anymore. But that voice is the real authentic voice of whatever you want to call it. God, the universe, source. Doesn't matter, those are just words. It is that small voice that screams at us, that tells us, don't do this, don't do that, do this, turn here, go there. We all have it. We can't deny that we've all heard that voice, we've all felt that gut feeling. That's our internal guidance. It is up to us to either listen or not. But that's the self-accountability with our salvation, you know what? This situation happened because my ass didn't listen. What happens in today's distorted world where people think it's a fucking window, what I mean by that is they throw the shit out the fucking window so that it lands on everyone else and they don't take accountability. It's a mirror. So you look at yourself and say, look, dumbass, you didn't listen to that voice. It is on you. We have to get back to the basics. We have to get back to being real with ourselves. And it's very basic.

SPEAKER_05 28:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 28:31

Look within. It's all on us. It's like this. Let's just sum it up. It's all on us. That's it. If we can just run with that, we're good. It's all on us. Everything is all on us. We were instilled with the internal guidance system, that voice that we hear, the gut feeling, and that's it. That's all we need to know. If we can just get to that, everything else will work out. So that's one thing I want to touch on. What was the other thing that you guys said? Struggle. I truly believe that struggling is the soul's origin. I feel like adversity introduces a person to themselves. When we face adversity, we find out who we really are at that point. That's like our test. That's like our pop quiz. It's okay, inner work, inner work, inner work, adversity. I bitched out. See what I mean? I say oh, damn it. But we get better. We get better. Because again, it's all on self, self-accountability. So I feel like struggling adversity is needed in our journey in a couple. Because that's like the touch yellow. It's like the pop quiz of okay, you think you're good? All right, well, here you go. Let's see how you handle that situation. Boom. We either gonna we're either gonna get through it or we're not. But again, it's all on us. And I feel like with today's society, today, just with whatever, people are just today, there's loyalty breakdown, there's no self-accountability, there's a lot of cop-outs. And I just think that's the majority of the population. And again, it's just a very rare breed of there's just a very rare breed of people like ourselves. And I say that with confidence, that number one, get it, and two, willing to share with the world. And so I think that I think that's very honorable in the eyes of our creator. Because we're stepping out. We're not being greedy with our intuition, we're not being selfish in certain areas, and I think the ego is not I think people get their ego mixed up. And I think I was talking heavy about that not too long ago, but I think the ego is actually the opposite of what we think. When what if society would say what we're doing right now is very egotistic. Oh, they think they know it all, oh this. But ego is actually us keeping this information from people because it'll be all about my uh about me. I want this information, it's all about me. I'm gonna be on a pedestal, forget everybody else. That's ego. So I think ego is the opposite of what people think it is in some way. Because us sharing information to the world, it's really I don't think that's ego. I think that's just heart. That's just our sole purpose. That's true love, that's loyalty to humanity, to our calling. If that makes sense.

SPEAKER_00 31:23

And honoring your truth, like honoring the truth of using your gifts. That's actually not selfish, it's selfless. It's honoring that you are given these gifts, you are given this desire, this mission on your heart, and choosing to overcome your own internal struggle, your own internal battles, your own trauma, your own shit, and choosing to share that and believe in that, and believe in honoring what you've been given and sharing that with others who are ready to hear it and ready to maybe do some internal work, right? Or explore some of these topics and just listen and talk and commute and be with one another and connect with one another. I think the world needs a lot more connection and a lot more he and a lot more love and a lot more compassion and a lot more empathy than like us versus them mentality, or, like you said, pedestal. I'm up here and I just want to be rich and famous. Well, there's a lot more heart and intention and truth and honor and respect that comes from owning your authenticity and your truth and being self-expressed in that truth and using your gifts for something more and the hopes of something more, that it touches someone where it needs to touch them, that this podcast will the right trusting that the right person will hear this and resonate and feel our energy and our frequency, and that matters. And that really fucking matters. And I really do believe in my heart that like you get to be a permission slip for someone else's gifts to start to bubble to the surface, for them to start to get those intuitive hits, for them to start to open up to that, for them to maybe get that like that thought of self-doubt or self-criticism where I'm not good enough or I can't do this, and actually pause and think maybe a new thought or have a new inspiration. Or think if this person can do it, so can I, and start to really build that sense of self. And I think, like I said, I just think all of that is so important. And I thought it's so beautiful, Will, for you to say, yeah, no, we're not just like doing a podcast. That really hit hard for me because I feel that on an intentional level. And the people who are gonna get it are gonna get it, and those are the people, and everything else is just right, the people, the right people are gonna find it at the right time. Yeah, I agree. I wanted to touch on that.

SPEAKER_03 34:00

Something that came to me as you guys were talking was that it's interesting to reflect back and see that and realize that like everything we've been led to believe that's wrong, right? Or that's bad, like fear, like struggle, like obstacles, right? Pain, sadness, like all of these things that have always been associated with neg ego, right? Associated with the negative aspect, are actually like they've it's been designed that way. Do you guys see that? It's been designed that way because if we keep believing that's bad, like we don't want to deal with pain, we don't want to deal with struggle, we don't want to deal with fear, then that continues to keep us small. But if we actually go head first towards it and like we've said before, right? Do the inner child work, do the fucking shadow work, not be scared of these things. We will, we are like big fucking cosmic beings. We are very fucking powerful. But because we've believed, we've been led to believe that these things are bad, these things are negative, you don't want to feel pain, you don't want to feel sadness, you don't want to feel fear, you don't want to have to want to struggle, then that has kept us living in fear. And because we are kept living in fear, we become very vulnerable. And when we become vulnerable, we are fucking controlled. And then we start with depression, then we start with anxiety. And if we start with depression, that's exactly what it's designed to do, right? Because then we need to depend on others, whether it's medication or doctors or shrinks or all this fucking bullshit to keep us controlled, believing in what they want us to believe, right? Not being able to see ourselves, not being able to look at a window and see ourselves, being able to see it as a window, not a mirror, Lil said. And that just came to me. I was like, wow, all these things that we've been, that we've been led to believe that are bad are not bad, right? They're actually, that's where the power lies. That's where the magic lies, in the fucking struggle, in the shittiness, in the grief, in the ache, in the pain. Like I said before, feeling pain. I've learned that feeling pain is such a beautiful thing because it it allows us to tap into that humanness that we are. It allows us to see how much we can really feel the same thing as the love, right? But pain is just magnified, right? Because it's associated with being bad. And that's just crazy. That's just crazy. That's that that's where like our power actually lies in dealing with the trauma, with the struggles, with the pain, with the grief, with all of these things that 90% of population, if not more, runs away from. That's why they're depressed, that's why they're on drugs, that's why they're alcoholics, that's why they're all these things, because they don't want to deal with what they have to deal with. It's easier to stay complacent in your life. Feeling a familiar hell is easier than an unfamiliar heaven. And you're coping.

SPEAKER_00 37:11

They're coping. And I don't even think that's conscious. I don't even know that's always like a conscious choice or a conscious decision. It's your nervous system being in such survival that you're desperate and you're looking for an out. And those scrolling your phone, eating Netflix, drugs, it provides that sense of dopamine, it hit for you to find some escape from your own internal world. And we all do it. It's not just the addicts, it's we all have little addictions. We all have certain things that what's easier in the moments to almost try to regulate like your nervous system. Okay, I'm gonna scroll for a while because this is just gonna help me. It's association, right? Yeah, exactly. And I think that's just becoming on a grander scale. And I think with how fast everything's going on in the world, I think we have to really find the spaces and the time to actually slow the fuck down. Intentionally create time to slow the fuck down because there's so much that we're missing, I think, in this human experience of the presence of just actually being alive and the gift that really is. Like, why am I crying? Like, of actually being here and being able to be connected and being able to have these conversations, like, wow, what a fucking gift. And I think we have been conditioned and trained, and a lot of that isn't, there's no fault behind that. We have a responsibility to take over that. But I think there's a lot of grace that comes with that. There's a lot of grace that you give yourself in that, and forgiveness that you give yourself in that process that is really fucking important. And because one, yes, you take the responsibility, the accountability, but you also give yourself the love and the acceptance and the forgiveness that part of yourself actually really needs, that actually is really screaming to be seen and to be heard. And you invite that back into your wholeness instead of scrolling, fucking spending your way out of that sense of almost like emptiness, right? That numbness, that disassociation, that burnout. You actually take that pain. And what you're saying, Gabby, really just hit me in terms of if we avoid those things, it has power over us. If we go through those things, we take our power back from it. And I think that's the aha light bulb moment that I want people. We could talk about that until the cows come home, but you have to go through that process, I think, in your life. And that I think is what the struggle and the adversity and the obstacle is really there to show you and guide you towards. And what a profound, profound experience. I really hope having these kinds of conversations make people feel a little less crazy in some of those dark nights of the soul, because I certainly feel like there wasn't as much information out there. And I think that's one positive thing of social media and of the media sense in general, is that I think there's a lot more awareness for these things, a lot more, maybe not judgment around some of these more spiritual things that we actually go through as a spiritual being. And I think it were just our job is to start to really incorporate that into our human day-to-day life because I feel like it's really been extracted from our human experience. And that's one thing I hope that we get to shift through these types of conversations. And I think really matters.

SPEAKER_04 40:39

One thing that I've learned in my journey is that when it comes to struggles and birthday, even from childhood to now, is that it's important that we accept it. And I think that's part of stepping out in our true authenticity is that what is what you get. And I accept everything that I sent you because it's part of my story. And I'd be lying if I try to shy away or hide because those are chapters in my life. We're walking books for the future to go back and read on how Gabby, how Rachel, how Will overcame these things. And if there's empty chapters because Will hit some of it as a version struggle, that's not authentic. That's a lie. You know what I mean? So I think we have to get comfortable or with the understanding that some of these things that we're going through, we just have to accept it, just like the ego. I feel like that's part of the process. If we understand the ego, it can work for us. It can work in our favor. I think I was telling Gabby, it's like fire, right? We can use it to cook our soup, or it can burn our health down. It just depends how we navigate fire. And that's I think that's how the ego and our struggles are. If we accept it and place it where it belongs, but it's still part of our story, it can work in our favor. And so Yeah. So I just think we just have to accept things and take a deep breath and accept it. This is what it is, and just keep moving forward. And I hope that's listeners, right? Because I truly believe that there's gonna be a lot of people that are gonna listen to this. And a lot of people, I believe, hear that inner voice tell that's telling them, hey, step out. This is your invention, this is your idea, this is only for you, only you can do this. But they're probably in the minds of the mind firm, saying, Yeah, I'm a recovering addict. I can't do this. I'm a gang, I'm an ex-gang, whatever. I can't do that. I've been in some trouble. I do listen, we welcome that. The world needs to hear that. We've all been through those things for a reason. Your struggle, your overcoming of things, your story, right? That's how people are your message. Our mess is in the message. Yeah, those are two different words, right? Mess and age, regardless of your age and regardless of the mess you've been through, we all have a message to the world. And your message, uh Okay.

SPEAKER_01 43:11

My gosh. I was so nervous. I was like, he was such on a fucking roll. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04 43:17

Okay, man, my my energy was so strong, I shut the internet down. I do that all the time. Don't worry. I do that all the time.

SPEAKER_01 43:24

That's all of that.

SPEAKER_04 43:25

That's part of my gift. That's part of my gift.

SPEAKER_01 43:27

It's fire. You're fired. We're burning this shit up. So it's true.

SPEAKER_04 43:32

I'm a true Mio, that's what I do.

SPEAKER_01 43:35

Oh, I love that.

SPEAKER_04 43:37

I don't know why I cut off, or I don't know why I shut the internet down. Now that we're back up and running. Listeners that are still there, listen, just step out. Your mess is your message, and the world needs to hear it because that is a survival guide. There's someone out there, there's a youth, there's an individual that's going to the same thing that needs to hear your story. Be all men. Never quit and never close. Tell your story. Step out. Trust me. Trust us. Trust the people that are doing it. Like we're doing this for a reason. Step out. Tell your story. Run with that idea. The universe honors action. Take the first step. Trust me, it'll all work out. That's how I did it with my brand. First, it was a thought. And then I took a baby step out. The universe saw that and started working on my behalf because of the actions that I took. So take action.

SPEAKER_03 44:35

Will, how long did it take from the moment like that thought came and you traded before things started to happen? I'm just curious.

SPEAKER_04 44:48

Things that start as far as what?

SPEAKER_03 44:50

Like how long when you started to see things moving, like happening?

SPEAKER_04 44:56

Because it was all new to me, so I didn't even know how to trademark anything and do anything like that. So even doing research on your idea is considered action, right? So again, the universe honors movement because energy moves, right? It doesn't stay still. So any movement, the universe closes in on that and starts to put people placing things in your way.

SPEAKER_05 45:19

In your way.

SPEAKER_04 45:20

That's just the way it works. In your path, in your gap. That's just how it works. First in here, first within, then without. And so it started moving fairly quickly, really, just probably within the first week. Wow. Yeah, because yeah. Yeah, because again, as a youth, I always knew that I was always a thinker, and even to the things that I was going through as unique, just family dynamic and stuff like that. Which I'm not gonna use that as like a trauma or because I was having fun all the time, man. And that's the thing, man, that I can't stand in this day. People use things as a crush, if you're like accepted. If you were having fun, that's not your trauma, man. That's just the right way. You know what I mean? I was having fun as a youth, man. I love the way I grew up. Shout out to my parents, man. We made it happen. And so, and uh yeah, but I was always a thinker, right? So I always had vision. And for some reason, I didn't know what it was called. I didn't know anything about what we're talking about now when I was 12, right? I just knew that when I would think about something, stuff started happening. So I just started doing that more. So now with the brand, it just started happening quick because I knew right away, okay, just start thinking about it, start taking small steps in some research, and it just started moving very fast.

SPEAKER_02 46:36

Wow. That's insane. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 46:39

That's very like I think these things need to be said because people out there, especially you just need to see if you, like he said, right? You just think about it, you start putting things in practice. It's about integrating it, not just knowing what you have to do, but integrating it, working on it. Even like you said, research, even just researching, like you're already putting it out there in the magnetic field. And that is how you fucking become magnetic, is by doing the things behind the scenes, right? What we're doing, the editing, the making the clips, the staying up late, the I honestly don't mind it. I don't mind it because it's something that that I'm passionate about. There's a message I'm trying to get out there. And this, if this is what it's gonna take, are there to be endless nights for people to wake the fuck up, right? Because I do feel that's what this is how we heal the world, is by living in our purpose, doing the things we need to do for ourselves first in order to show up differently for others and for the world. And then people will take note and be like, oh, what is this person doing? Oh, we'll talk. And we get, we do the podcast, we get the message out, they hear him, they hear you, they hear me. And then they start to listen, right? It starts to, they start to retain it. And then they start doing things for themselves. And that's how we change, that's how we change the world. And I think that uh people need to hear that, need to hear that that it starts with the thought, like Will said, and then you start to do things because you start behaving like it's already happening. You start behaving, you start doing your research, you start looking into trademarking, you start looking into, I wonder if this can go on t-shirts, I wonder if this can go, I wonder what is the thinking behind all of this. And then things start, you're putting it out there so things start coming your way. But you need to have the self-awareness to know when things are coming your way, you fucking take it. You're not second guessing yourself. Like that really just tap into your intuition, your gut feeling, and go with it. And guess what? We're gonna make fucking mistakes. Be okay with making mistakes, be okay with fucking up sometimes. It's not the end of the world. You're not gonna die. I make mistakes all the time. And sometimes my parents are like, oh, you made so many mistakes. Yeah, I did. But every time I make a mistake, guess what? I I pivot and I adapt. Pivot and adapt. Pivot and adapt. I won't make that same mistake again. Because I'm either winning or learning. I'm not quitting. I'm still here. And I think that ultimately that's very inspiring. Will to know that like it started with the thought. I I don't know. I just think that's the mindfuck, right? The mindfuck is that things have to be hard. You have to work so hard and you have to push this and you have to push that, and it's not.

SPEAKER_04 49:30

Well, the hard work is not the physical part. That's easy. The hard work is in here. This is where most people fail, because it's like you said, as soon as the mistake comes, or before they even start the process, they're already in here saying, Yeah, but what if this happens? What if this doesn't work? What if before you know it, you talk yourself out of it, and now you have buried your calling, your goal, your idea. And so, yeah, like you said, you have to make from experience, it's okay to fail. That's just a word, right? Again, we give definitions and emotions to certain words. We have to be okay with making a mistake. To me, I call that free, that's like free tuition, that's free schooling. That's knowledge. It really is, because you're not gonna learn that in a business class.

SPEAKER_05 50:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 50:17

You know what I mean? You're not gonna learn because everything happens in the field. And so you have to get out there and make it happen. You have to fail your way to success. All these cliches quota hate. But you really do. You have to fail your way to success. You have to make those mistakes of free schooling right there. That's knowledge you're not gonna get in college. And so that's what I've learned. It's okay. That's how I learned the most is finding out what doesn't work versus what works. Uh and so for the listeners out there, get out there and fail, man. Make some mistakes. That's really fun. Remember when we were kids and we would scrape our knees and get stung by a bee or get punched by your sibling, whatever. That's get back to the basics, people. Get back to being real. That's where your success is. Back to basics. All on you, and let's just get to work. That's it. No one's to blame. Don't point the finger, look in the mirror, and let's get to work, guys.

SPEAKER_00 51:18

Yeah. And I think though, I think the internal work for some people, I think they can find their alignment and take off. For other, and then I think each person has their own struggle that they're gonna go through. I think people can put their head down, do the work, want the success, get the success, and realize that it's unfulfilling, right? They get the money and they're still not fulfilled. Then that's their internal doorway into their internal world and their internal intention. I think then there's also the group of people who have the belief, want the thing, but don't go after it because of the overthinking, right? The procrastination, the self-doubt, the insecurity, the unworthiness, the comparison. And they feel the weight of all of those things that keep them really stuck. And so, Will, what would you suggest for some of those people to help them get out of their current internal struggle?

SPEAKER_04 52:18

Take action. That's what it is. If you want to overcome any trauma, take massive action. Action overcome everything because you now put your attention into something else, into a different work. So if you want to overcome depression, anxiety, take action on something positive in a big way. That's how you overcome anything. Just take action on something. There's a lot of people that you're always gonna have that void in your life if it's not your true calling. I see a lot of people that take a figure loan for a college degree, right? Dedicate five to ten years somewhere in that range just to find out that they still have a void in them. Because that's not your calling. Everyone would say, Well, I got this degree because I want to help people. That's great. But that's not your calling. That's outside accolades that are out that's outside validation. You're still yearning for that internal validation for yourself. It happens, I see it all the time. And what happens is that people put up that fake image, yeah, but this is what I'm doing. This is then why are you then why are you at the bar every Friday night after work, drinking yourself a fucking way from the last five days of your work, your calling? That's not your calling if you have to numb yourself from doing the work. Yeah, you know what I mean? I tell people, your nine to five is good, but what you do from five to nine is what really matters because that's what your true work is on yourself. Your nine to five funds your five to nine until you can switch. Until you can switch. There's nothing wrong with work, that's great, but it's not your calling because you didn't invent it. It's not your idea. That's just the truth.

SPEAKER_05 54:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 54:15

That's just the truth. You shouldn't have to take a six-free loan through your idea. That's not how it works. Just to find out ten years into it, you're still empty. When you could have put in that inner work on yourself. So again, not knocking a job, nothing none of that. I'm just saying is that from experience, I've seen a lot of people reach a certain age in their work, and it's like they find out, hey, like that wasn't, I'm still like, what do I do? What am I supposed to do? I'm still trying to find out what I So it's like inner work first. Get a master yourself before you get a master. Really? Self-mastering. You know what I'm saying? Like it does I get it, man. Education for I get formal education. Absolutely, whatever. But don't neglect your true calling.

SPEAKER_05 55:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 55:03

Or else you're gonna reach 65 retirement and you're gonna look back and be like, damn, that wasn't it.

SPEAKER_05 55:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 55:10

That wasn't it. So do it at the same time if you can. I think you're worth, I think we're worth 10 minutes a day of inner work at least. You know what I mean?

unknown 55:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 55:22

If we can put in eight hours for something else, we can put in 30 minutes on ourselves.

SPEAKER_00 55:26

Fuck yeah. I love that.

SPEAKER_04 55:27

Because he even a couple minutes of inner work is powerful because time is an illusion. It's not real anyway. So any inner work is huge, and the universe honors that.

SPEAKER_00 55:41

Yeah. Do you think that in every person's like soul work is more of like in an entrepreneurial path?

SPEAKER_04 55:49

Again, entrepreneur to me is just a word, right? These are all words. Um, and I don't really buy into words, but for conversation purpose, you have to say things entrepreneur, soul, spirit, energy. Whatever you're into, whatever your inner self tells you, and it leads you on a path of least results. And people placing things are coming in to encourage you and to make it happen, right? Without any resistance, without with any much struggle, right? That's gonna detour you away from that. I think that when you find that path, you'll know. If it's something that the masses are doing, more likely, it's a sales pitch, right? Like getting a degree has to go back to that because that's a huge business in itself.

SPEAKER_05 56:35

Right.

SPEAKER_04 56:35

It really is. People that do big business understand that that's I'm not gonna say it's a scam because it's legal, but it's a big business. And when you take out a loan, whatever, you're just a consumer at that point, no. It's whatever, that's what you want to do. But I don't think that it has to be entrepreneur. Entrepreneur, but I just think that I think that's the way that people use when you start to do stuff on your own. And so whatever that is, some people in their calling is just go away to the wilderness now. Go work with some trees, nature. Yeah, disappear and just do that.

SPEAKER_05 57:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 57:17

And go do that. You know what I mean? And you'll probably be as happy as you can be over there because that's your calling. If I do that, I won't make it. Because that's not my calling. And so I just think that whatever you whatever your calling is, you'll know. Just what it's like like we know. So I think in every individual just you just have to you just you just have to do the inner work. And if the void is still there, then that's not it. And there's habits that show that you still have the void. If you're always having to or you find yourself parting, you have to find other outside validation, that's not your calling, because everything is internal. So that's another way to find out. When everything is internal, most likely it's your calling. When you're doing something and you need outside validation, that's most likely not your calling. So that's one good way to find out if it's your calling or not.

SPEAKER_03 58:14

I think that we were just go the way I do life is just like on feeling. If something is a if something isn't a fuck yes, then it's a hell no. Like that's how I go. If I'm gonna go somewhere, like I might have a trip plan, I might have a an event planned, and if I wake up that morning and I'm not feeling it, I'm not going. I'm not going. And people might be like, you're a fucking flake, you're this, you're that. It can be whatever the fuck you want me to be. But if I'm feeling like I'm not gonna, I'm not feeling the shit, I'm not fucking going. I'm sorry. And that's what makes me happy. And I'm the one that has to live with myself. And God knows, I spent the last 40 something years very unhappy. So why the fuck would I do that to myself? No. And I think it's given me great pleasure to live my life on feeling, right? On sometimes I'll order food and I'll be like, ooh, this sounds really good. And then I get there and I'm like, yeah, I'm not feeling it. I'm not gonna eat that food. And I'm like, no, go ahead, eat it, or we'll go give it to a homeless person or something. But I'm like, I'm not gonna eat it because my body is speaking to me. My body is telling me, like, no, this is not okay for whatever the reason is, it doesn't matter. I'm not worried about finding logic to why I'm getting this feeling. But I'm getting the feeling, right? And from what my experience in the last couple of years of doing this work is that if I would have just listened to that feeling so many years ago, yeah, my life would have looked different. My life would have definitely looked different. I wouldn't have made a lot of the choices I made because I went against what my gut is was telling me. And that goes for everything for decisions for the podcast, for the whole reason for me wanting to create this podcast for the name. Like I really sat with that, right? I really sat with it. There were many sleep, many nights when so before I go to bed, I always lay in my bed and I turn on like a hypnosis or meditation this rate. And after it's done, I lay there for a little while, just reflecting, right? Just reflecting. And it's, I cannot tell you guys how important those moments are because a lot of those aha moments, a lot of those like golden nuggets come in those moments, right? When it's quiet, it's silent here. And I like to look out the window because the moon sometimes, like I can see the trees moving and stuff. And I get a lot of answers in those moments about things. And I get feelings, I get all these things, and decisions come through those moments. And what I'm trying to say is that all of this sounds so simple, right? Because it is simple. Like being at the place that I'm at is so simple, yet it's so hard. It's so hard to go back. It's so hard to dig deep. It's so hard to go deal with your shit and not listen to what society tells you to do, not listen to what your parents or religion tell me to do. My parents, I'm sure my parents think I'm fucking crazy. I'm sure. They're always like, oh, you're off with the fairies. You're living you're living somewhere else. Yeah, I am. I am living somewhere else. But it is. It's just so it everybody we make it sound so simple. And it's just, it's hard. It's hard to unlearn because the unlearning has to happen before the relearning happens. There's a sense of like reparenting with ourselves that has to happen before we can get to a state of mind where we are unfuckable.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:53

I think it gets easier. I think it's hard. I think the work is hard. I think when you go into the fucking deep shadows, it's hard. And then I think your intuition gets louder, you learn to trust it more. Then that that voice gets, you're more convicted in it, you believe in it, you trust it, and then that self-trust really starts to fucking blossom. And then you get more aligned with that voice and you start caring. Like I think as you do the deeper identity shifts, or you're now stepping into this almost like higher self that's more because you're aligned with everything's getting into alignment, your body, your mind, your soul. I think that's when you really have that fire behind your feet, under your feet, behind you, that's propelling you. I think it gets easier. I don't think it ever becomes fully easy. I think it gets easier. I think things are hard, things are going to come up. We're still gonna get stressed, but I think things get easier and you create more internal safety that, regardless of what's stressful going on around you, what people are saying, you feel grounded in your own internal world. And I think that becomes a really big fucking superpower. And I think that way of regulating becomes your superpower. Because I really also don't believe that unless you're pretty regulated, I don't think you're in touch with your intuition. I don't think you're you can hear that those gut feels because you're in fucking survival mode. And I like we're talking about, I think 95%, maybe less, maybe more. I don't know the ex percentage. I think a lot of the world, at least in the United States, I think things in Europe are a little bit different because they have a slower way of life. I think in the US, I think a lot of us live in that survival mode the majority of the time. And I don't necessarily think you can make decisions, follow your intuition when we're in such survival mode. And then I think in that survival mode, the weight of the world feels really fucking heavy and we have feels really fucking hard. And this, there might be people who are triggered by this conversation. They're like, fuck you guys, my life is hard, right? I this isn't easy. Like, I don't have the money to just do whatever I want. I think there are people who are in that place, and I can resonate with that. I do think life is hard at times, but I do think that pain or that struggle is asking something of you to go inside and start to do some work. And to me, that's the only option that you're left with, right? It's like, how much longer do you want to live in this space where you want things to be like things are hard or you're pointing the finger or you're really stressed and you're really burnt out and you're really overwhelmed, then you're uncomfortable. You're going in circles. How long do you want to fucking stay there until you want to fucking do some work? I'm at the point where I'm like, fucking bring me to my shadow, bring me to everything. I want to deal with it because I know when I deal with it, I am it's only gonna fucking bring me so much further on my path and get me so much more resolved and convicted and devoted into my mission. Like I know I'm gonna deep meet deeper parts of myself. I'm gonna love and accept myself. Like I wanna go to that work, but I think if people survival and all those things keep us separate, and that can be a very challenging. But as you face those things and you start to shift and you start to regulate and you start to trust and you start to accept yourself and you start to love and you start to have faith and you start to be around people who, you know, can give you some tough love, but also some non-judgment, and also be there for you and hear you and validate that for you and just be with you. I think things can really start to shift. But I guess what I might question for you guys is like, who what would you say to the person who's, well, I don't have the money to do this. I don't have the money to do that. I don't, the excuses that can come up.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:41

Yeah. So one thing I want to say about people that get triggered by people like us, right? I think that's great. I hope I trigger you. It really doesn't matter. Well, well, again, it's from experience, right? Because I also mentor and I've just working with a lot of people, the only way We're gonna get to the new cause of shit is if you bring the shit up that you're dealing with.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:04

Right.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:04

And people that have an issue, well, oh, you're triggering me. Well, it's because you got used to comfort. You probably have a bitch ass support system of weak fucking people that just fucking pat you on the back like a fucking puppy. You know what I mean? And so you need someone to bring those things out of you, and then we can get to work.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:25

You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_05 1:06:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:27

So being triggered is okay. And that's the fucking authenticity of the person and integrity that you should respect from people like us that are willing to sit with you while you're fucking having an epistle, okay? Because we're gonna help you work through those motherfucking things. So I hope you get triggered because that's where growth starts, is when you find out the root causes. Bring that shit up, and then we get to work. So yeah, I hope. Second, funding. I didn't have funding either. Again, that's the how-to. All the being logical about your fucking ideas and goals and the how-to is gonna prevent you from getting started. How-to is none of your business. Leave that up to the creator that put the idea into you to take care of everything. You just take action. That's it. That's what I mean. When I started taking action, people, places, and things started coming in my path to make sure that everything works out. All I needed to do is answer the call. And what I mean by that is answer the calling from the creator that put that idea in me. That's all you have to do, people. Answer the call, answer your calling, whatever that is, and start to take action. The how-to, don't worry about that. It'll work out. You'll get whatever you need. Whatever is needed for your idea will come into fruition. It'll happen. You don't have to worry about that. Those are just blocks that you're gonna put in a way to prevent you from actually making that happen. So don't worry about that. You don't need time, you don't need anything but just you taking action and that's it.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:21

And I think that it's easy, like it's easy to start tomorrow.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:30

It's easy to not start today. It's easy to scroll, right? It's easy to like things are actually like what if we had that reframe? What if things are not hard? What if they're actually easy? Because they're so easy. It's actually if we had that reframe of like things are actually easy instead of thinking like this is hard. It's easy to get up in the morning, it's easy to start today, it's easy to restart tomorrow. It doesn't go well. It's easy, just how it's just as easy, just how it's just as easy to grab your phone and scroll and sit there for an hour. That's easy too. It's easy, it's easy to stay in bed. It's all easy. It's just the reframe. And I think that the theme in this episode is that, like Will said, it starts in the mind. And who fucking controls the mind? We do. We do. We control the mind. So why the fuck do we have such a hard time with all of this? It's just, I don't know, it's crazy. It blows my mind so much.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:35

Yeah, I think it's a lot of the subconscious mind, though, right? And it's your physiology. And so your physiology is tied to like your nervous system. And so I think that's where a lot of work needs to be done for people. They feel like they are stuck and can't take action or are procrastinating. Like I think that is the doorway in. Cause I think a lot of people use excuse after excuse not to go after what they actually really want. And in that time and in that those excuses, that void just gets bigger and bigger and louder and louder. And it then I think gets harder and harder to follow it because now you put all this pressure, all these excuses on your heart and your calling and your soul. No wonder why it's going to be hard to find your way back. And they they believe them. And to me, that is so sad because you're blocking that intuitive intelligence, that what it will say, that guidance system, right? You're internal guidance. Yeah, you're like removing yourself from that internal guidance system that is your direct line to something greater, to your soul, to who you are. And you're cutting and chopping it off because you want to put excuses on it. Because you think that it'd be hard. And think about it.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:58

You're doing it because of what ifs. What if it does? What if it doesn't? What if it does? But it's 50-50, right? Like it that that's the crazy part. And I think I was talking to this about Will yesterday, and I've spoken to you about this, Rach, too, about how we we are demanded to believe things and that that are unseen and fear and faith are both unseen. And why, why, right? Why, what if it doesn't? What if it does? Why do we gravitate more towards the negative aspect rather than like focusing on just like Will said, putting just believing in it? Because what if you do believe in it and it doesn't work out? Well, what if either way, whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen. So why not have faith in yourself? Why not have faith in your goals and your dreams and your aspirations to come true rather than to say what if it doesn't? And Will, I wanted you to yesterday you told me something about that.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:55

I forget what it was, something about you said fear is what if faith is even if. And I think a lot of people think a lot of people believe in faith, but they operate in fear, right? They're contradicting them talking about. And it's what if this doesn't work? What if I don't have funding? What if, but yet I have faith and make up your mind, you know what I mean? Faith is even if, even if this works, even if it doesn't, again, I learned some things. Again, it's tuition, it's free, it's you know what I mean? It's schooling, it's making me better. So, yeah, fear is what if fear is even if. To go back, what uh Rachel was saying, the eases and stuff like that, it's like I'm operating right now on one hour escape. You know what I mean? And I think Dabby knows, I go to sleep late. I I was talking to Rachel, I said, I go to sleep on West Coast time and I wake up on East Coast time. I wake up later than everybody.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:50

I don't know how he does it. He's getting two hours of sleep. Like, how the hell are you gonna wake up feeling all glowy and stab beauty sleep, baby? You need it.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:58

Listen, I'm already there. So look, here's the thing. And I need people to understand is that when you have to take action overcomes everything. It really does. Action putting the work in that overcomes everything. And I say that I'm right now operating on an hour of sleep, but yet I'm so passionate about what I'm doing right now, still, because I'm in my calling. Like I'm in nothing else matters. Not time, not circumstances, nothing matters in what I'm doing right now because the idea is impacting people around the world. That's my calling, that's my purpose. Nothing else matters, and I'm taking action right now, doing it. So my body is in a state of this is what you're gonna do because you're operating your purpose and you're taking action on it. Sleep doesn't matter, none of that matters. My body's not reacting to lack of sleep, it's operating into a to the resource of let's make it happen to the people that you're impacting. So take action overcomes everything. Take action on something positive. You gotta take action, you gotta have movement. That's why working out is so important, right? Because it's not a body transformation, that's just a byproduct of doing it. Right, it's you taking action, and that overcomes what depression, anxiety, anger. It overcomes everything because you're taking action on your temple, on your true self, and that's honorable from the creator that made you. So that's why working out and doing just physical movement is important and it overcomes a lot of things, illnesses, because you're taking action on yourself. That's true discipline. Body transformation is just a byproduct, that's just gonna happen, but that's not the goal. You're just operating in a state of discipline and self-accountability, and that right there is what really matters. Take action, people. Just take action on something. Yeah, you want to come from now.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:08

Yeah. But I think that's hard, right? And I we've been going for a while, but I think that's hard because I think the primal desire is, oh, I want to be fit. That's why I'm working out, right? I want to look hot. I want to I want a hot body, right? It's the primary, I want to be skinny. Like the primal desire of what we've been fed, right? As like the surface level is, oh yeah, I want a good body. But internally, there's so much transformation that's, in my important opinion, like even more important than that's going on. There's things so much deeper. You're getting you, like Will said, you're becoming disciplined. You're taking action on showing up for yourself and doing something hard and proving to yourself that you can continue to do it, that you can put yourself in uncomfortable positions. You're not gonna die, you're gonna be okay, you're gonna get through it. It is gonna be hard and you're gonna keep showing up and you're gonna keep fucking doing it. And that takes discipline. And that discipline, I think, comp compounds over time, where then again, it be just becomes a part of your identity, a part of your habits. Now you're disciplined in this area, you've seen progress in this area that is wired right now in your brain. Well, okay, if I take action here and I've seen growth, I can take action here, and then I'm gonna see growth. It's not the instant gratification that we all fucking want. It's actually the journey that comes along and the transformation that comes along with putting in that time and that effort and being rooted and grounded in that decision, in being all in in that and being okay and grounded with where you are right now, knowing this time, this one hour of sleep, who gives a shit? It doesn't matter because I'm in divine alignment and I'm in soul alignment and that's not though. I think you should take care of your health. I'm a big advocate for health. I know. But I felt that way last night. I was like, okay, well, I'm doing one late night, haven't done that in a while. Who fucking cares? I'll get some sleep back at some point. Because my the mission that night was actually more important. And I don't want for anyone to burn out, but I'm just saying in some instances, sometimes you're gonna put in more fucking hours. Sometimes it is gonna be fucking hard. And there's gonna be other times where maybe the best thing for yourself is to not do the workout and to get some sleep. But you already have all these other times in and you trust yourself and your discipline. But maybe the best thing for your health is to get some sleep that day because that sleep that day is gonna compound the next day when you have a lot more energy, right? But you trust yourself to get the work done the next day, or you know you're gonna do it and you're not procrastinating, you're taking care of yourself. But you have to be rooted in knowing and trusting yourself. And that grows with time. But I think it is the putting yourself in uncomfortable positions to help grow your resilience, help grow your resilience to uncomfortability. And that is something that the world really fucking needs, and why I think exposure characters are so important, and why I think cold plunge people do these things, workout, cold plunge, breath work. You're exposing yourself to uncomfortability so that way in your normal day-to-day life, it's like you're able to have more resilience in what is uncomfortable and still not let it have control over you, and you can still take action to move forward, and it doesn't paralyze you, that uncomfortable feeling. That's the only way.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:32

The plan in consistency. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:35

I think so. In the beginning stages for people, we have to make our life uncomfortable early on. And if situations don't come to us, we have to create them. Like for me, again, one hour of sleep, or I went to my favorite place, shut up. I'm like told me how to make my past open and home. And it was at six, it opened at six, but I had to make it back. But it's like I put myself in these uncomfortable situations because I know fast will grow happen. And it was all gonna work out because this is part of my past. And so, like one thing I like to do is fast. Like, you know that now with science, right? There's a lot of the health beneath spirits and the understanding clarity and on the spiritual level, and again, those are ancient scriptures, right? The Jesus fasting and all that stuff. We know all that. But I do it for discipline. Everything else, again, it's just a byproduct. So I put myself in uncomfortable situations. Or I create them rather as a discipline touch-up for myself. So I think that's what that's something that people should do is create tough situations in their life because that carries on into every area, every other area of their life. And just things become easier that way. If that makes sense.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:49

Yeah. I agree. Yeah, I think I uh 100% agree.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:56

I 100% agree. And think that I don't know, the Jim Rohn always used to say you gotta work harder on yourself than you do on anything else. And I truly believe that.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:07

I truly believe that.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:08

Like last night, Gabby, what did you ask me if I'm going to sleep early?

SPEAKER_03 1:20:12

Yeah, I said early. I know he doesn't sleep all night. And I said, Oh, it's like you're going to sleep early tonight, right? No. I was like, well, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:20:21

I was just gonna say that I think I think the obstacle, like we said, is the way. And I think when you seek out those kind of like uncomfortable, well, like uncomfortable putting yourself in the uncomfortable positions, it also makes the really great times. You're so grateful for everything, right? I just feel like it makes your state of gratitude like so high. And I that's probably why we have such a high frequency, right? Because then you're so grateful. I'm so grateful. I ran the other night, I was running outside and it got dark, and then I had all these bugs. Kind of I was at like in on a trail and I was like eating all of these bugs while I was running. And I was thinking to myself, oh my God, thank God I have a home that like blocks me from all the bugs at night and it's really fucking hot. And I get to go home to my home and my air conditioning, right? Like, how fucking grateful. How amazing is that? Thank you, shelter, that you get to provide that for me. You just get to a point where everything becomes a little richer. Like you're more grounded, you're more thankful. You're thinking through that lens of, wow, I love that I have a coffee place that I get to go to. I love that I can make my matcha in the morning. I love that I can sit outside. I'm grateful for those things in my heart, in my being, in who I am. And it's the basics, right? It's the really small things that you're really fucking grateful for.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:43

And then that's the mindfuck, right? That's like the crazy thing is we are taught to, you need to have the nicest car, you need to have the biggest house, you need to have the fanciest this and the fanciest that, and you need to look this way, you need to dress this way, like you need to put on these masks, right? In order for you to feel accepted. And you need to have all this stuff in order for you to be successful. And what people don't understand that you don't need none of that. You don't need no you don't need any of that. You just stop and like I've said before, chill with the fucking trees and take up your shoes and socks and walk on the dirt. And we get to do these things, right? We are very fortunate. And for me, I think the biggest thing in my life that has kept me humble, that has kept me grounded, is remembering, and I've said this before, remembering that I will take any fucking hard day out here over any good day of being incarcerated. Because there was a time when I didn't have the freedom to sit with the trees, to smell the flowers, to feel the sun rays, right? To be able to walk out the door. There was a day when I was that didn't happen. And to be able to go back to those moments and remember what it felt like, not just to be there, but to have been a prisoner in my own body, in my own mind for so many years being held held captive in my own body by myself, not being able to be free, not being able to be who I really am, is the most grounding thing ever. I don't need to always be out in nature. I can just close my eyes, and I usually go, I'll sit in my car or I'll go somewhere to find a bench and sit in the sun. The sun fucking does it for me. I don't know what it is. It's like the divine masculine, just like shining his like all his glory on me that I'm just like, I get chills just thinking about it. But I'm like, but I get to do this because there was a time when I didn't have that luxury to be like, I'm gonna go outside. No, you're fucking not. You're not good, you're not leaving that cell. Good luck with that. And being able to do that is is such a such a blessing. It's there's so much gratitude that sits in that. And being able to do that with that state of mind sitting there, people probably think I'm crazy because I'm laughing and I'm giggling because I'm feeling the sun on me. But being able to relish in that, yeah, that's a luxury. That is a luxury. It is, but we miss it. Yeah, we miss it because we're so much up here and we're so focused on gotta make that money, gotta make that money. Money's the goal, money's no, money's a fucking energy. Money's an energy. Sexy is an energy, it's not a type of person, it's an energy. All these things are energies, and that's the crazy thing is that people miss that. They're focused on the actual thing.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:43

Because I also think luxury is an energy, and that's what you're describing. Abundance is an energy, and we have access to that, whether we have money in our bank account or not, that's found up here. That's found in here. I'm pointing at my head and my heart for the people who are listening. That's found in your where you are. It is you, but you have to be the one to train your mind and your body to see it and to feel it, to feel that feeling of abundance, to feel that feeling of luxury, to be grateful and thankful and relishing it. That's something you train your mind and your body for, in my opinion. And then you open up to being able to receive it by sitting on a fucking park bench and having your face in the sun and being present in that moment where you are present. You're not worried, you're not distressed, you're not overthinking your presence. And even if those things are there, yeah, and even if those things are there, can you accept them and also accept that you're safe in this moment with your face in the sun? And both can be true. And those are those to me is when I think of I want people to feel abundant and to feel in sole alignment. Yes, that has an entrepreneur maybe aspect to that, but it's about your own internal state of fucking being. And I want everyone to have that state of being. To me, that's my intention, that's my goal, that's my truth. That's where the magic is. That's where the being is.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:15

And that and imagine a world where the state of mind, right? Imagine the unity, imagine the unconditional love, right? Because the more work I the more work I continue to do, the more I realize that a lot of the love we've grown up with and felt is has all been conditional, right? Has all been, well, if you do this, then you're you're loved. If you behave loved, then you're worthy. And that's not what unconditional love is, right? And imagine the world with that mindset.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:45

That's how you heal the world, right? The world heals.

SPEAKER_00 1:26:48

But I that reverts me back, Gab. Oh, sorry, well, I didn't mean to interrupt.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:53

Oh no, go ahead, go ahead.

SPEAKER_00 1:26:54

That reverts me back to when you said it's unconditional love for yourself. When you say, I wait, I I planned this thing and I wake up and I'm not feeling it, I'm gonna go. If that someone else thinks that I'm flaky, then that's not unconditional love. Because that person, if that person feels that way, they would want the best for you and to do what you feel is the best in your soul alignment and in your heart. And that's why I laughed so hard when you said that, because that's instantly that's how I live my life. And that makes people very uncomfortable and very unhappy. I am like a tight, more tight B type of person. That works for me. That works for my soul. That's just who I am. And I think you find the people who can support you on that path because it is a sense of unconditional love, right? That I love you without you needing to show up for me. You know what I mean? Yes, I may need you at times. I love you regardless of that, of what you provide for me. I 100% agree with that.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:52

And it does make people uncomfortable. It does make people feel a certain kind of way, right? They feel like you said this. Right. And now you're not showing up. And yeah, well, that was Tuesday. And today's Saturday. And I'm feeling a different way on Saturday. I'm on a 28-day cycle here, buddy. It's not, it's I'm not the same version of me every single day. So I'm sorry. I get it. I do get it. But I'm I've gone against we have gone against those feelings before. And we've seen where it's gotten us. So that's a boundary, right? That's not the way I'm gonna operate it.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:29

It sounds like you both like nature. That's pretty cool because indeed. Because listen, I found a pincher bug in my house today and I wanted to burn this motherfucker down.

SPEAKER_00 1:28:40

I do. I find a lot of peace in nature. And I feel, Gabby, what you're just saying, I think I reflect this like when I am in like Greece, right? Or in nature in general. I'm always just happy. I'm happy, I'm giggly, I'm smiling, I'm connected, I'm intuitive. I'm when we're in a different state of consciousness, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:58

You become the land.

SPEAKER_00 1:28:59

Right. Like you're in a different state, you're in a different brainwave state, you're outside of your norm, you're walking, which is a bilateral movement, you're shifting into a different state, and you're feeling like you're getting grounded, right? Because you're in the energy of nature. And that is, I think, for where I feel fully magnetic and fully connected. And that I think helps your head and a little bit more into freedom and being not so much doing, but just being in the being. How are you guys feeling?

SPEAKER_04 1:29:34

Great. I'm feeling great. Oh, we're just getting started. I'm just warming up. I'm just waking up. Let's talk to conversation.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:41

I love that.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:44

What I wanted to say though is that I think some of the distortion distortion that people have is that what they feel on social media, if these celebrities, right? And they feel like, well, I have to live up to those standards, or I have to look like that, and have similar things, the house of cards, the thing, whatever. And I've been to some of the best some of the most fancy places in Beverly Bull. A lot of my connections. Shout out to my people, Beverly Vol. Made a lot of great connections, know a lot of people, movie producers, at actors moves, ceremonies, and I'll tell you what, man. These people are just operating in their columns. What I found out is what we see on social media and TV, it's we're just seeing their work. We're not seeing them off screen or off social media. They're just they're normal folks.

SPEAKER_00 1:30:31

Yeah, they're humans.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:32

I I was at a restaurant of Beverly Hills and I saw one of the Kardashians, and she looked like she was in an outfit from Walmart. She had some baggage slips. I was like, that's crazy. But that's that's them. We're just you know when they're working, just like us, we put on our work clothes. Right? It's no different. When we see them on screen, we see them on social media, they're just working. And people are trying to be them at work.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:57

Right.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:58

If no, you have to see behind the scenes, they're just humans just like you. They're just doing their calling, they're just doing their life's work. That's all they're doing.

SPEAKER_00 1:31:07

And that's the inspiring part.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:10

Yeah, and people are just they're buying into what they see though, the image, the work, but they're not seeing behind the scenes. And I think that's what people need to understand is that we can do the same thing because we're all humans. Everyone just answers their call. That's all they're doing.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:25

Yeah, I agree. I agree, and I think uh and I've always felt that way. Can't imagine being in that lifestyle, right? Because I value my solitude and my privacy so much that I can't imagine constantly being snapped by pictures of all of this stuff. It must be very unsettling, to say the least, at least in my opinion. But yeah, they're all we're all just humans and we're all just here living trying to have this human experience, right? And it really takes it away from, oh, they're this and they're that. And it really bothers me that people are like, oh, did you see that? Just criticizing these people because they feel like they have to behave on a much higher level because they are who they are, but they forget that they are still human and they're still gonna make mistakes, just like us, and they're still gonna fall short on certain things, and that's just part of their journey. It's part of our journey.

SPEAKER_00 1:32:25

Well, it's like taking everything and everyone off of a pedestal and just realizing that we're all just humans and can be able to do that.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:31

And nothing is neither right nor wrong. Being in a very neutral state of mind, this is not right, that is not wrong. It just is the way I live my life, it's not right or wrong, and the way somebody who, whatever, religious or not religious or whatever, is not right nor wrong. That's just their life. And I'm gonna, I'm choosing to live this way and they're choosing to live that way. And we can still have a relationship, right? Because we can agree to disagree. It's when people get emotional about things that, you know, or take things personally that things start to get rocky.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:03

Yeah, yeah. I just think the whole idea of putting famous people like on a pedestal or sports people on a pedestal, I just think they're human. And I like Will said, they're just in their sole purpose, right? And I that's what I find to be inspiring, right? That they're mastering, they have self-mastery over their craft, their inlignment with their purpose, that it guides them, they're devoted to it. That is for me inspirational, but that does not make them more worthy than I, right? That that there's no pedestal that you are more worthy of abundance or those feelings of abundance or safety or resources that you're more worthy than I. You have to, I think we need to disillusion ourselves in some of that and bring things back to the humanity soul level, right? Not everything any of us do is all right or all wrong, right? It's the lessons, it's the classroom. We all have to do that. And when we strip away that illusion and that judgment, I think we find a lot more, we have a lot more similarities than we do have differences. And who am I to judge your fuck-ups, your mess ups, when those messes turned into your message and turned into your soul direction, what you needed to learn in order to get you where you needed to go. Who am I the fuck to judge that? I've got to, I've got to go through that own process in myself. And I think the world needs more of that humility, more of that humanity brought back in into our day-to-day lives.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:35

So Yeah, and it shows that they took action. Yeah, they took action on their calling. And it's like rappers, right? And this goes back to people that kind of show like they can put themselves out there or their past or how they were brought up, or where they came from, how they started. There are rappers that we know certain rappers and we know where they're from because they're so authentic in their music. We know Dr. Dre, Shoot Dogs, Long Beach. We know where these people are. Isn't that crazy? We know where they're from because they freaking tell us every damn time in their music. But yet, when it comes to us, we feel like, well, I don't know if I should say where I'm from. But yet, in my mind or behind the scenes, I'm praying, God, please, what's my code? I want to be out, I want to be famous. But yet, you're doubting yourself when there's a lot of people out there that are being authentic. This is where I'm from. I'm from Compton, I'm from Long Beach, I'm from LA. Two part, we know where all these people are from because they tell us.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:37

You know what I mean? Exactly. And that that that should show us, put it out there, man. That's your story. All they're doing is telling us their story, and we know it by heart. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:51

That's why I don't shy away from where I'm from. I'm proud to be from Delano, California. I am Delano May. I am Delano Proud. That's my story, that's where it started.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:02

And I'm gonna put it out there.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:05

Because that is authenticity at its purest. And so I think when we look up to these people, it's like, well, they're just taking action on their calling and they're being authentic on where they started. They're just telling their story, whether it's in music and acting or whatever.

SPEAKER_00 1:36:21

And it's this creative way of storytelling. It's this creative way that, and I do believe creativity is a tap into your intuition and into your calling, right? So it's a creative way of telling your story. That's what I assume with your brand, Will, right? It's a creative way of owning your story, of telling a story, of allowing that to be inspiring. It's it's creative storytelling. And we get to do this in a platform of using our voice, and people do it in a way of making art, and people do it in a way of acting, of living their life, branding, marketing. It's a creative way of telling your story. And that's gonna go further the more authentic you are in your truth. That's what's gonna hit home with people and hit their heart and hit their soul because you're connecting with someone on a deeper level, on a heart space level, on a humanity level. And that is powerful. And that I think is where the most power lies. And we all have that capacity, and that's the really fucking cool part. We all have that capacity within us. It doesn't, it hasn't missed anybody. No one's excluded from that. No, if you have it, you're a human, you have a soul, you have a story, right? And that story really fucking matters. And that story can be a powerful permission slip and a powerful example to somebody else. And whatever capac creative capacity is meant to be your expression and your internal genius. But what a gift that is of a journey that you get to go on to find that magic within yourself and empower that magic within yourself. Thus the struggle, thus the obstacle, thus the things you've been through. All to get you to understand your own magic and how to harness it into something that is fucking lighting you up and it's in soul alignment.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:19

Yeah, like absolutely, absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:22

And besides, like when you tell your story, when you tell your truth, and you like Will said, we're books, and when you don't hide anything, you get to take your power back, right? You own your power, like nobody has shit on you, nobody has any power over you because you've already said it. And it reminds me of Eminem, always talks about that, like talks about how he has said his, he has rapped about his story, he has said all the shady shit he's done, all of it. And what nobody can say anything to him anymore because he's he said it all, right? Snoop has said it all. Dre has said it all. And that's freeing. Yeah, it's liberating. It's liberating. And that is what freedom is. Being able to walk in your truth, own it, a big fuck you to everybody else that is that has tried to bring you down. And is like, what are you gonna say now? What are you gonna say? And being able to walk in your truth and so rooted in who you are that what people say doesn't fucking matter. It fucking rolls off because you are not that person. We are the ones who attach meaning to all these insults. And when nobody can insult you anymore, you just sit there and laugh. That's freedom. That's freedom. It does, it doesn't do anything to you anymore.

SPEAKER_00 1:39:40

Yeah, you're unbothered by it because that trigger isn't there anymore because you don't actually believe what that person's saying that's triggering you. So you become unbothered and you become more sovereign and you're more authentic and you show up in that way and you own your mistakes because it doesn't affect your sense of self-worth. It doesn't, you own those mistakes, you own your story because it doesn't, it doesn't have control over who you know yourself to be. You accept that about yourself.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:06

Like thanks to my making strong. Thanks to my, it has shaped me into the individual I am. If it wasn't for that, who knows who the fuck I'd be? I'd probably still be that shallow ass person that I was, right? And I'm grateful for my experiences. Yeah, it's been hard and it wasn't easy, and there's consequences, big consequences, but hey, I'm glad because I'm happy with who I am today.

SPEAKER_00 1:40:30

Yeah. And that's something I want for everybody. Thankful for you guys and thankful for these conversations and to have this space, like in life, right? I think these conversations are really important. And I'm grateful to be able to have them and to have whatever kind of platform to shed some light on all of this and to have these conversations.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:51

And I think to have people that are aligned, people that you that just get it, that can meet you where you're at. I think it is really something to be grateful for sure.

SPEAKER_00 1:41:00

Yeah, 100%. And I hope it inspires others to start having these conversations in their real life and finding those people and you know, having those conversations with us. Throw me a DM. Send me your thoughts on the podcast. What did you agree with? What did you not agree with? I think those conversations also can get started if you don't have those people in your network right now. And I that's what I hope for the podcast is that this really becomes a network of people who are who can come to one another. I have to run, but thank you so much, Will, for coming on. And thank you, Gab, and thank you, listeners. And Will, I hope you'll come back for some more insights to drop it. And thank you.
