Theme of Failures and Personal Stories
00:00:27
Speaker
Hello and welcome everybody to another episode of the Uncommon Wealth Podcast, where I'm your host, Philip Ramsey. And I'm Aaron Kramer. thank you for tuning in. Today we have an interesting topic. It's just Aaron and I hanging out, and we've been talking about this concept, and i've we've seen it, we've witnessed it, and we've seen how powerful this can be. Yep.
00:00:45
Speaker
You ready for this? We're talking about failures. Failures. Being human. Being human and failing. Yeah. Yeah. And we'll just start by saying, we're going to talk about our failures. Yeah. And the things that we feel like we could have done better in our career or in our life. Yeah. But at the end of the day, like some of these failures are the biggest reasons why we are who we are today. Yeah.
00:01:05
Speaker
Now that can be shaping us in the positive or the negative. I feel like Aaron and I are kind of bent on like, okay, is it a failure if you've really learned from it and you've come out of it on the other side? That's what makes it really hard to think of these things. cause I know. So we both had some time to think about our failures and exactly what they are and how do they shape us and who we are today.
00:01:26
Speaker
But when you're thinking about this, think about this. Like if you were on the podcast, you have the microphone in front of you. What has been your biggest failure? And then what has it produced on the other side of it?
Aaron's Journey: Boundaries and Loyalty
00:01:36
Speaker
Yeah. Whether it be a trial or failure, we can talk about a lot of things. But today we're talking about failures. The times when you're like, I could have done better.
00:01:46
Speaker
Could done better. And because of me not doing X, I didn't do better and I feel like I failed. yeah um now change the directory change the directory of what it could have been yeah and i kind of keep thinking about all that so that's we're talking about today this is failures uncommon wealth yeah let's go all right so i'll go first because mine's like a bigger like not bigger fail but it's like fresh because i just realized that like a you know i don't know probably three or four months ago but But it's not as good as Phillips. Wait, so why?
00:02:18
Speaker
Why did you think about it in that way? And like how, why did it take that long?
00:02:25
Speaker
Like what made it come to the top of your mind of like, huh? That's a good question. I was talking to mentor mine and he told me like I had really bad boundaries.
00:02:36
Speaker
Okay. And he said, Aaron, good people even take advantage of another good person with bad boundaries. Okay.
00:02:46
Speaker
And I was like, huh. And then i went and told my wife this and she's like, yeah, Aaron, that's, you have this issue. And I was like, Oh, and ah came out, and my first realization through this is I'm, like, overly loyal um to the point where, like, I'm loyal, and I, like, I don't put people on a pedestal, but I'm, like, they're there, and I'm, like, I've got them. Like, I got their back. I'm going to ride or die, kind of.
00:03:17
Speaker
Like, and then through that, like, being a – You know, like talk about our superpowers and stuff. Mine's more like, you know, just like making sure like being the dark horse for somebody else.
00:03:33
Speaker
Protector. Protector. you and ah And so I always put like the team first. Yes. And so. I can attest to that. Yeah. And so then it's like, okay. So then i like what hit me was, is like I started thinking about my entire life.
00:03:48
Speaker
And think that's when I had my big like, oh my gosh. Okay, here we go. Yeah. So first one was like football. I was pretty good at football. i'm not saying like never going to go pro. Nothing like that. I just good high school football player. Could have probably gone to the next level.
00:04:03
Speaker
um But like, ah my sophomore year made varsity. I was pretty good defensive end. Like it was fun season. like yeah And at the end of the season, I got letters from like D1 schools coming. I was like, sweet. Yeah.
00:04:17
Speaker
Yeah. But then the team needed me at middle linebacker. And so, and I remember, and dude, when you're 16 years old, like you don't understand things. Nope.
00:04:29
Speaker
But like the defensive coach coordinator guy, uh, name is hustle. He's amazing dude. Um, sat me down. was Hey, team needs you in a linebacker. But if you want to stay, I got your back.
00:04:42
Speaker
Like I get it. And I'm like, No, no, I remember my dad was even like middle linebacker. Oh my gosh. Cause it's like playing quarterback on defense, right? Yeah. Okay.
00:04:53
Speaker
You gotta really smart to play quarterback or play middle linebacker. There's a lot going on. I didn't even know plays. Like I didn't play Madden or anything like that. ah I sucked.
00:05:04
Speaker
Like I say, I sucked. I was all district and stuff. Cause it was an athlete. Right. But no, wasn't your, no, everybody. like I never got negative yards on the running back. They always had a yard. because by thought I tackled so many people. They're like, dude, have balls. are Well, you tricked me.
00:05:15
Speaker
Yeah. You know? Wow. So, uh, but the team needed me there. So I went there and so I gave up my opportunity for like the, where I shine the best, you know? Yeah. So then for others, for others. Okay. So then, um, so then come to wrestling, like wrestling was like, okay, the wrestling, and that's the sport I picked to into college for. Like i was, got told like, Hey, we need you at two 15.
00:05:38
Speaker
Like was small to 15 pounder, but I was the stronger of the two of us that of the one 89 pounder. No, would done a lot better at state if I went at 189.
00:05:50
Speaker
And so was like, oh man, flash forward again. But the team needed me at 215. So even like the year then we went on to like my next year in high school, nope, I stayed 215 because the next guy was better at 189. And was like, poop. So I stayed there again.
00:06:06
Speaker
um Go to college. this This gets even more interesting. And how being young and dumb and not listening to your mentors even. Keep going. Because people were telling you, like, don't do this.
00:06:18
Speaker
ah Now went went to college, they did. Okay. So my mentor, which, if you know if you follow wrestling, I knew Eric Volker, and he was in my ear, and Eric Volker is one of the best of all time collegiate wrestlers. Like, awesome. Awesome. Awesome.
00:06:31
Speaker
And he told me and my head coach for wrestling told me, don't go heavyweight. Interesting. And you're like, okay. it's like And they said, I remember Eric telling me, he's like, you'll lose your best asset. And I was like, okay.
00:06:44
Speaker
Did I think about asking him what my best asset was? No. Because young and dumb. But what happened? Coach needed someone at heavyweight, and I was putting weight on pretty good, like and i was strong.
00:06:57
Speaker
Went heavyweight. Okay. If I would have stayed with a 97-pounder, like... You would have been a baby. It would have been so much different. Wow. so you're Again. Another thing. Another thing. I failed to, like, do what's best for Aaron, you know. Yeah.
00:07:12
Speaker
And I... and So anyways, so that was college. And then you get into the professional world, and again, i Stayed at a firm way longer than should have.
00:07:24
Speaker
and Because, like again, I'm loyal. This is what we're doing, like pushing forward. And i even I even make my family suffer more because its like of the loyalness. Right. Because I don't step up and do what's best for Aaron. And this is where you start feeling selfish because you're I don't want be selfish. But sometimes there are situations where like what's best for you is will also be best for the team. huh Yes.
00:07:47
Speaker
Right? Because if you think about it, like I was like – I'm not saying I was, but let's use the football. If I was a D1 compatible at defensive end and D3 middle line, I'm going to shine away better for the team at the D1 spot.
Philip's Insights: Trusting Instincts and Business Decisions
00:08:05
Speaker
And so... ah So I should have fought for myself. Wow. But I didn't. That's good one. And so now like it's like, yeah, having healthy boundaries is bad one. like I love the quality of being a great team player and doing what the team needs me to do.
00:08:18
Speaker
But there's times where you just need to like set your boundaries and, I've got to do this for me. And really think through it. And i like that's what I'm trying to learn to do now. like guess' Right. It's really shown me like, oh, it's a great thing. It's great quality. So it's not like really bad thing, right? I'm doing good things, and good things have come from it. But at the same time, it's like, dang it.
00:08:40
Speaker
Trajectories could have been way different. It's so true. So having good mentors, asking good questions to intrigue and ask why, and then also thinking through like, What's good for me could be the best for the team could be the best for me.
00:08:54
Speaker
Yes. Like in a different mindset, yeah different perspective. But like not just do it like, but then like we'd tell our kids to like be coachable, do what's good for the team. Like don't be selfish. And I was doing all those things, you know, now could have anything changed?
00:09:09
Speaker
I don't know. it's It's always easy to look back and say, oh if I would have done that. Yeah. You know, I don't want to be that guy, but It is interesting when you find out, it's like, no, when your wife tells you, other good mentors tell you, like, no, you have bad boundaries. Wow. You're like, dang it.
00:09:26
Speaker
Yeah. I need to. I do. I need to work it. And then you realize that you're like, I need to work on this. And it's not change big things about myself. I just need to, like. Just know it. Critique it. Yeah, right.
00:09:37
Speaker
You know? Yeah, we have another podcast coming up, so I don't want to i don't want to talk about it too much. But when your best quality turns into like your biggest weakness, yeah which is kind of what you're talking about. yeah Don't talk about anymore.
00:09:49
Speaker
because well That's a good one. I'm excited for that Okay, why are we talking about this? Because it all matters. And we're talking about uncommon wealth. Yeah. This actually really matters.
00:09:59
Speaker
When you start thinking about how you're wired or what your tendencies are, your superpowers, it all affects your life and your life and your money and the way that you manage and the way that you do things. Yeah. where you organize, it's all, it all matters.
00:10:13
Speaker
yep and So that's why we're talking about that. So, okay, through that, what do you think, like, your biggest thing that you're going now do? One, now you're aware of it. And two, this hasn't been too long ago that you were aware of it. So now you're, like, trying to process through, okay, how do I not do that again? Or how do I put boundaries up yeah in order for me to be able to succeed?
00:10:32
Speaker
And if I can succeed, then maybe the whole team actually succeeds more. Yeah. You know, that's interesting because we're, like, Team-wise, I think ah ah on the home front, I'll be more cautious of like looking out for my family and making sure they don't take hits. Yep.
00:10:48
Speaker
But like on our front, it's hard. like I feel like everything's good. like like ah Everyone cares about everyone. We're a small team. right like It's not where this big organization is taking advantage of people, right? right um In my opinion. like Because I think bigger organizations, it's really hard in our industry.
00:11:04
Speaker
Everybody wants to get paid. you know That's right. um But when we're in a small organization, like everyone has value and everyone deserves to get paid. And it's like, oh my gosh, this is... you know Again, i don't know. That's the fun part about this. I know I had a big failure and like I wish I had this big resolution for how I got through it. But I'm in the middle of it, guys.
00:11:23
Speaker
Here I am. I'm like, i don't know what's to come from it. i got I'm figuring it out. It's funny because when I think about mine, I'm like, I don't know if I have a resolution either. Yours is kind of fresh, too. but yeah But yours is even bigger than mine. like It's a bigger life lesson than mine. yeah.
00:11:38
Speaker
So one thing that you need to know about me is I really like to have a hard conversations. I like having tough conversations. I just do. It's super quirky. It's not necessarily that I like to have those, but I like...
00:11:49
Speaker
that we can just address the big elephant in the room. And then once we address it, are we going to be friends or are we not? And if we're not, then we probably shouldn't have been friends at the beginning, so let's just have this conversation. yeah right And if we are, then we're going be better friends than we were. yeah okay So I would say one of i'm just going to say my biggest one of my biggest failures is just a failed partnership with Brian.
00:12:08
Speaker
yeah I'll just say it right out. and And that to me is hard because I'm a very loyal person. I've always wanted to be on top of the mountain with somebody next to me. looking at the parame or panoramic views and like yeah being excited. Now, what's the top of the mountain? You'd ask, I don't know, but I want to be there with somebody when I'm there. Yeah. It might be a hill or maybe Mount Everest. That's right. And so from a very, very beginning ah of arc our relationship, I just felt like there was some pretty big warning signs of like, we're not that compatible in a couple areas that I feel like could be important. Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:45
Speaker
And I just squashed them, which is fascinating because I would, and Brian would have hard conversations maybe but I'd have very hard conversations with him. Like, hey, this is something that I feel like is a blind spot. We need to talk about it. Yeah.
00:12:57
Speaker
And the poor guy never really wanted that because he, one, I think he didn't have a brother growing up or or sibling. Yeah. And so like, it was all new to him. And I was like, well, I feel like this is my lot, you know, like I have to be the guy like, Hey, might not be the best. Or, you know, Hey, I saw that. And he's, he did that, I think four or five times in our whole relationship. And every time I was like, Oh my goodness. Like,
00:13:19
Speaker
I shouldn't say every time. Cause sometimes it was like, Oh, that was hard to hear. But I know a couple times I was like, I had no idea like that. I said that joke and it didn't hit with the people and it actually offended them. Like I had idea. Right. And so when he said, I was like, I got to go say sorry to them. And like, it was good. Right. Like it was refining. And, um, but I felt like I was doing that a lot. And I was just in the back of my mind being like, this is not going where we need it to go yeah together, you know, like in, in learning from each other and, and,
00:13:49
Speaker
challenging each other and things like that. And so that's probably been one of my biggest failures is like knowing when to trust your gut sooner. yeah Like this isn't going to work and we just need to call it what it is before we get too far down this path. yeah And so to me, it's like trusting your gut more and then not worrying about the fallout or the consequences. Yeah.
00:14:14
Speaker
That's the hardest part for me because I'm always thinking of, okay, one, they're a person, you know, so like that's going to be something. um Luckily, Brian found a great opportunity. So he moved on. but yeah But like other people, I do think about that of like, okay, what does it look like outside of whatever we were trying to create together? Does that make sense? yeah And so to me, but it's it's circumventing that and like making a decision faster because I've heard this like, ah what is it? fire hire slow and fire quick or something like that.
00:14:47
Speaker
And like, in theory, I think that's the right business model, but it just doesn't feel uncommon. And so I want people to have grace with me. So I extend grace to other people way more than I probably should. Yeah. As you said, it's kind of like, it's a superpower, but it's also a weakness of yours. Again, like a boundary issue. It's like, yeah, oh I'll just help you. Like, you know, right.
00:15:08
Speaker
right But then like things can go wrong and then you're like, dang it. Yes. Oh yeah. Many times I do. yeah And so my one of my biggest failures is just trying to figure out like, okay, when is it time to like really trust my gut and like know, hey, something's just not right.
00:15:24
Speaker
And maybe we can't resolve it or maybe grace doesn't need to be extended to it. Just maybe we're just not in the same trajectory going forward. And maybe you're trying to climb a different mountain when I'm trying to climb this mountain.
00:15:36
Speaker
That's okay. yeah We need to address it quick. And then we need to try to just do something about it. Well, yeah, especially if someone, like i mean, having insight on this one, it's like... When the other person doesn't want to put in the work or have the hard conversation, right? Like, yeah, right. Cause like you, has to be an equal partnership and having that conversation. And there has to be like, uh, I heard you.
00:16:01
Speaker
You're, I believe you like, maybe they believe you 25%. Like, and no one's over a hundred percent, right? When they call you out, but there's some sort of validity there. but There's a, there's a total ignorance.
00:16:13
Speaker
right then like how do you go you can't grow from it you can't have a partnership there because because guys kind of so different in areas right different right and so um But then like, that's the hard part too. Cause like then you want to have grace, extend grace. That's right.
00:16:28
Speaker
But then like, right. Also you can like in that sense, because you are such a gracious person. It's like, you could probably trick yourself. Cause like, I think there's me and you are like, we're vastly different in certain areas, right? But we compliment each other. That's right. To make it better. That's right.
00:16:43
Speaker
So it's like, you know what? Out of the two, if we're just talking about this relationship out of the two people, the person that probably extended grace more was who out of Brian and I, You? No.
00:16:55
Speaker
I think it was Brian. You think so? I think it was Brian. One, because he didn't bring up many of like, you know me, I'm flawed. Yeah. So out of 10 years, you're only going to come to me five times and say that I messed up. Like, come on. There was more than that.
00:17:09
Speaker
But he never brought it up for whatever reason. Probably because he wanted me to extend grace to him. And I was always like, hey, we need to have a conversation. And he's like, I don't want to have a conversation. ah But anyway, so that's fascinating to think about. But like, I think. it grace or is it being a chicken shit?
Learning from Failures: Personal and Professional Growth
00:17:23
Speaker
I don't I don't know.
00:17:25
Speaker
I don't know. But I would say that he was very gracious with me in many times. oh So um I always wanted to just extend grace. But so to me, that is my that's kind of my bent.
00:17:36
Speaker
I also say to something that I found out that was maybe a superpower, but also can be a failure is I'm super authentic. Whether or not you like it or not, this is who you're going to get. yeah So like if I'm on stage, if I'm on a panel, if I'm in front of you at a coffee, or if I'm just like by myself, this is who I am. going to be authentic.
00:17:54
Speaker
And like up I'm struggling with high blood pressure. Here we are. yeah like What? but yeah Yeah, that's true. so but say I said join the club. but Yeah, right. So how do you how do you work with that? And I think there's some times where I'm too authentic.
00:18:09
Speaker
And we've had this example recently where like we would I want to be a good business partner to everybody on the team. Because now I don't really have that business partner. I feel like you are...
00:18:20
Speaker
super close and at the end of the day all of our team like we're all partners so i just that's how i play and then there's been times where it's like well maybe that wasn't the wisest thing to do maybe i just need to talk to aaron about that one yeah so i mean you do like yeah there's just that times where it's like yeah you want too inclusive you know right like mean i know it's it's that's the fun part through all this is like you learn from it right yep and you gotta grow from it. But like, it's, you find out these areas of like, Oh, like I gotta navigate that different, but like, man but again, that's why it's really hard to like, think this, think of these things, especially like this. I think it's funny you brought this one up cause it's like, to me I'm like, Oh, it's just a growing moment. You know, it's like, right and I would say that I'm feel so much better with going through that trial now, but now I don't want to make that same mistakes twice. I'm, I don't want to keep going back in this rut of like, oh, I'm in the same, say I'm in the same decision. Like, and I, that's what I really respect about you is you're always constant. Like, I want to get better. I want to get better. I want to keep learning. I want to keep getting better.
00:19:24
Speaker
And so it just seems like no matter what the failures are, and you can probably think about that in your life listener, but like you've become a different person because of it. And that different person is probably better.
00:19:36
Speaker
Yeah. And the only way you're going to get better is by going through these trials and like the furnace. Yeah. And in that you're going to produce a gem. Yep. But like, this is the thing that I, we, I know we always hear people doing this and I i love this podcast cause in the subject, but what I want to make sure it's super clear to our listeners, like,
00:19:55
Speaker
It was not fun hearing about me having bad boundaries. Yeah, no. And then realizing all the things that could have been possibly different. like oh sure. That's not a fun thing to hear. Replaying your life. and Yeah, you're like, oh, man. Oh, you you mean I could have had a totally different shot at playing at a higher level? Or I could have done better at the level I was at like What? I had big goals. I didn't reach none of them. I wanted to be a state champ.
00:20:18
Speaker
Didn't. Like, wanted to be i want to be a national champ. Not even close. You know, like, I ah made varsity. That was it. You know, it's like, it like oh, my gosh. like So it's just one of those things where it's not fun to hear.
00:20:32
Speaker
It's not fun to hear, and it's not fun to accept it. like So that's why – mean, guys or listeners, gals and gals, like, if we say walk through the fire, right? You become jam. Right. Put your hand in the fire. Yeah, you right. You pull it away. Right. So, like, now you're talking about emotional fire. Like, you're going to pull away.
00:20:52
Speaker
It sucks. Right. But on the I promise you, the other side... is so much nicer. Yeah, and I do think there's a self-awareness about this too. like There has to be a place where you have to internalize what just was said to you.
00:21:07
Speaker
Or if you hear or see somebody going through something and you're like, whoa I need to learn from that. Yeah. Because I don't want to do that. And I see tendencies. I would say parenting is a really good example. Yeah.
00:21:18
Speaker
You start seeing your kids start going down the same path you did and you're like, don't do that. that. Don't do it. Yeah. It's fascinating that you have to internalize. And I think that's what you're really good at, Aaron, is like...
00:21:29
Speaker
I can do better and I'm seeing somebody else's failure and i can put myself in, like I could see myself doing that versus people are like, Oh, I'm too good. I'm too good. I'm perfect. Like I'll never go through that. That isn't the guy. That's not the gal. I know. And it's funny. Like, and that's the way where I was like, you know, like maybe, i mean, I'm glad you sit there and say I'm good. i really just think it's because I fall a lot.
00:21:51
Speaker
Um, cause that's like, you see these people that have like success in the beginning of their career or whatever. And everybody has a fall. Right. And so, and a friend of mine and a k client of ours, you know, like she said at one time,
00:22:06
Speaker
It's like, oh my gosh, like I'm glad I'm having my falls now than later everybody has them. And longer you have to wait for them, the harder they're going to be. The bigger they are. if I got to fall from the mountain, I want to fall from the below, like, the you know, towards the bottom. yeah i ain't falling from the top. i don't Like, that would hurt. Oh, yeah. You know? That's good. So, like, for the listeners, like, no matter where you're at, like, mean, if you're at the top, usually you don't make it tough mountain without looking at yourself. But, like,
00:22:33
Speaker
um Start practicing this so you do fall from the bottom of the mountain than the top. Because if you're towards the top, halfway up or whatever, wherever you want to go, and if you're doing really well and you haven't had any falls yet, that means you've a tall mountain. Hang on.
00:22:49
Speaker
And yeah yeah that's awesome. Your mountain is much taller than mine. Right, right. But like that's a much farther fall. That's a lot more stones and man things to hit. Right. Think about that like just Rome.
00:23:00
Speaker
Rome's like they were superpowers. Yeah. They fell. Right. Like, how do you, like you, yeah.
