wegettodothis
We are live. Welcome back episode one, two, three, four, episode four of we get to do this today.
Fall Plans and Fitness Goals
00:00:47
wegettodothis
We're going to talk about our fall plans a little bit so we can give a little update on goals for the next you know three or four months, both business fitness. I think that's kind of it, right? We also, we also need to really figure out the intro outro clip. We're working on that. Stay tuned.
00:01:06
wegettodothis
But I think it took us, believe it or not, only four tries to do that. And it was completely unscripted. We just said like, are you say this, I'll say this, and we'll just both wing our parts and we'll see how it goes. And it worked. We had to crop the first second out. That was it. Mine. Yeah. Your little breath in. I saw, um, real or meme or something the other day about millennials and I'm like, that's very real. I do that. Is that a thing? Apparently.
Discoveries and Celebrations
00:01:34
wegettodothis
I'm the drawings for it. So I don't do it, I guess. So I'm drinking an athletic brewing company beer. Sponsor us. Because I bought six, like, three or four months ago and we forgot about them in the fridge. Because I had it almost like a couple other dozen drinks. It looked pretty good, yeah. And also, it is August 11th, and tomorrow is a very special day, Kaley. Do you want to tell the audience what you have planned for me?
00:02:04
wegettodothis
It's supposedly a middle child day and Jacob here, where you're going to be finding out more about today in this interview we're china right now. Well, it's his fault plans. We're going to do the interview, but that's going to be a different episode. It's embarrassing.
00:02:22
wegettodothis
less maur But yeah anyways, tomorrow's my child day. Kaylee. I actually took the old day off and Keely's throwing me a surprise produce. I'm excited about that. I don't know what it is yet though. So we'll find out and we'll probably do a podcast of this on that too. So, but plans for today is Keely's fidgeting with the, with her phone and getting the camera, the camera figured out is it's currently August.
Fitness Focus: Races and Training Philosophies
00:02:48
wegettodothis
We're both back now from, from our sabbatical and.
00:02:55
wegettodothis
We are going to give a little update on what our, our plans are both business wise for the next like four months and fitness wise to write those two things essentially. And just kind of give an update to the world. Yeah. So let's do fitness first. I feel like that would kind of not, you know, get things out of the way. You had your A race back in March or 200 mile that we haven't, we haven't really gotten super into yet, but we will. Um, and now you're.
00:03:26
wegettodothis
you know training kind of for life essentially right like what what is next for you if if there's a next i don you know yeah I mean after I got done with the 200 everyone was like so you're gonna do another one what like now a crazy race we're gonna do 500 miles I'm still a little scarred from the 200 this spring. It was brutal. Um, so I don't need to do that anytime soon here, but I've really been enjoying like when we were in Washington this last month, just like going out and doing trails and do whatever kind of workouts I want. But my next like race race is the TC 10 miler, which is October. It's always the first weekend of October.
00:04:12
wegettodothis
Last year for all the runners out there, you know, that I got canceled because of the heat, but I still, we still went and ran it. Um, just on our own did a rogue 10 miler with Caleb, with Caleb, um, Caleb and Jacob paced me for it. And just like, got a group of people to do it. And I PR by a lot, three, four, a lot of minutes. Um, and this year, my goal is to PR two minutes from that time.
00:04:42
wegettodothis
and And your PR was, did you say it then? Was it 117? I got 117 something last year, but it was like an unofficial time. So nothing's like on the record books yet. So that's why this year I'm shooting for 115, which is by far the fastest. 115, like 115, 00 sub 116. Anything in the 115 range. In that area? in Yes. i like that I like how you set time goals. Yeah.
00:05:11
wegettodothis
Thanks to you. I never, never used to do this. I think I said time goes that way and with ranges. Okay. I thought it was, I thought I was rubbing out on the whole like why we have to always break a number. Why can't we go and just do ranges?
00:05:28
wegettodothis
Nevermind. Well, there's that too, but I feel like I'm a good example of not having like time goals and not being like super disappointed if I don't meet a certain goal. Like I think I said in other podcasts already, the other episode was like why I got in the trail running was because it was more of like completion focused versus like time focused. So now that I've done the completion route, now I'm pulling back again and going back to like time goals. Right. And it's been super fun.
00:05:58
wegettodothis
So if considered doing a road marathon or some kind of marathon this fall, dabbled in that a little bit, but I don't know. I kind of like just waiting to see what happens and going for that. So it'd be really cool to be able to beat my time from CIM last year in the marathon. And I know I could do that. I just don't know how much I want to. Sure. Maybe yeah seeing Al in his training and We have a friend that is, saw that Kaylee ran 4.09 last year at CAM and his only pursuit and interest for the next four months is to run faster than that time. So, or away yeah. And I'm pretty sure if like, he's the type of dude that if he got to the finish line and it was 4.04, he would just stand behind the finish line for four minutes and then wait. Yeah. So, oh cool. Yeah. So that's nothing like insane right now. I.
00:06:58
wegettodothis
I personally don't need like a race to like train. like I'll continue doing stuff every day of the week just to train for life because I know it's like good for me because I enjoy it, truly. so We should do an episode on that sometime, too, because I have races on the calendar right now, but I was talking to you about this a lot this past week. and like I just freaking love training. I could be pretty content like just hitting PRs and training.
00:07:24
wegettodothis
um kelly yeah And I can be pretty contentious hitting PRs and training and not like ever doing any like massive crazy races. But I feel like, well, one, there's probably a part of me that that's not actually true. And I actually do like to do the races and the showy things for sure. But two, I think that it helps with me being more related with the clients and then also like going and getting, doing my homework on courses and recounting courses so I can talk to them, you know? Yeah.
00:07:54
wegettodothis
so For sure. Yeah, I go back and forth because I really do just really, really like training. Just really enjoy it. Yeah. And like we just listened to coach Bennett, the Nike global running head coach. He just had a podcast on how to train for nothing. Yeah. We listened to, and I really liked how he was just talking about like running for the joy of running. Right. And like, that's what I love. Yeah. Well, and my coach Matt and I have talked a lot about too.
00:08:23
wegettodothis
I like process goals. And so three years ago, holding 30 miles a week for me was like a huge, very big accomplishment. And now this fall or last spring, we held 50 ish, 50 to 60 in that range for like four or five weeks straight. And it just destroyed me. It was like.
00:08:47
wegettodothis
Definitely of overreaching. And one of the process goals we have for them for this fall is like, can we get 50 to 55 that, you know, can we get that to feel comfortable? It's like a weekly mileage total for Jacob on roads, right? I know that on trails a little different, but it's like, and that's how the goal, goal fires me out. It's like, can I create a strong enough body to be able to do that, right? That is not overreaching and it just feels like good, you know? And, you know,
00:09:15
wegettodothis
Long run wise at 1.10 miles on the weekend, like I'd be walking very funny for four days. Right. And now, you know, that threshold is probably, I don't know, 17, 18, where it like really takes a toll on me, like for a whole week and it messes training up. So it's like, can we get the long run to a point where like every weekend I can handle 15 miles, 16, whatever it is and like recover
Marathon Ambitions and Training Strategies
00:09:40
wegettodothis
from it. Okay. I like those types of goals, you know? Yeah.
00:09:43
wegettodothis
Cause you do have a goal at the end of this, but it's cool that like, you have like, it's almost like sub goals that you have yeah for the race. Cause what are, what are you training for? It's your race. California international marathon. And I think everybody knows that. You too. And it's the docu-series cap. It's the end of the docu-series you've been doing. And what's funny is for that,
00:10:13
wegettodothis
We talked before I'd started the docu-series and I was like, I almost don't wanna put a time on this because I don't really care that much if I hit 259. And I was like, I feel like this is going against everything I like ever said, blah, blah, blah. And both of us kind of talked about it and and I remember deciding like, I'm gonna do this for a clickbait more than anything because I'm not the person who's supposed to run sub three.
00:10:42
wegettodothis
Right. And so that's a whole nother story, but, um, you know, supposed to, whatever. Um, but I, it's just funny cause I'm like, Jason is going, I don't really care about the cell three thing. Really. I don't. And then that's going to come on the docu-series more and more. Now it does not mean I'm not going for it. Like I'm going to try to run as fast as I can at CIM and you've seen the last like six to eight weeks and.
00:11:11
wegettodothis
I think I've changed a lot from where I was in the spring from like mental and physical. Like I think this is going to be an exciting build. I really do a lot of perspective shifts. Yeah. And like, I think, you know, three 10, three Oh five will be very, very average. And I like, why would I Scott? So what, what made you change from like going to sub three? Like, why is that?
00:11:37
wegettodothis
I, it's not that I don't have the sub three goal. It's not that three tens ago. It's not that three or fives ago. It's that I talked to Matt about this two days ago. It's, or yesterday it's that I don't have a time. Really right now we're going to kind of just train and we're going to get these process goals. We're going to try to get faster and get some other good races along the way. And we'll talk about that in a sec, but, um, and then, you know, November, can I decide like, okay, but this is all you should go for and decide as a team and figure it out. and I think that right now picking the time goal, it's just, again,
00:12:08
wegettodothis
In the spring I was doing what like very much angry is, makes me angry in this industry and I did it. So, and it didn't work. Yeah. I got injured, you know, and it's like, why was I doing that? The best I've ever done running wise is when I don't, I never focus on the angle. I focus on tomorrow and the process in front of me. The angle comes to me and the angle becomes a time of whatever.
00:12:35
wegettodothis
right before the angle, you know what I mean? And it's like, it's very much based on where I'm at in training. And the training goals are just have fun, get more fit. Run with Kaylee, get community. Like, you know, it's, so, yeah. So yeah, probably didn't try to go sub three. Yep. Sub three. That's the goal. So, but I have, I just did TC 10 K with Schwarm this past Saturday and or still are 10 K and go for the badger. Yeah. And paste him and yeah, I was very happy with that with like, like last year when I ran my 10 K PR, which was 39 40 something I had was very, very much trained and ready to do that. And in this situation, I was like, ah, we're just going to go. And like I've done it before I can just go around and do it again and ended up being not sub 40, but just under 41 minutes. And it felt.
00:13:34
wegettodothis
Very doable and fine. Um, and there's a whole kind of backstory with that too. That's not really relevant right now, but so it's a good starting point. The build for CAM started today and it was a rest day. How long a build you have? 17 weeks. I mean, we're always building, right? But like the actual, like in my mind, CAM training starts now. How long do you usually recommend for people to have like for a marathon build? I mean, obviously it depends on your first time runner, but like,
00:14:05
wegettodothis
17 weeks, and it's like a pretty solid. Yeah. I mean, like textbook and every research, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That also has like 18, but people say 24. Yeah. It's so dependent on the person. Like if you can right now and you were like, I want to run India full and that's first week in November. So it's like 13 weeks or whatever. It's like, you'd have plenty of time because of the base that you like keep up with pretty much everyone everyone on my roster right now that I work with.
00:14:34
wegettodothis
has a base that they could say, I want to go and do a marathon. I'd say ah most people need at least a month right now on my roster. But most of the people that I'm working with, and I would say most people in this endurance community, if they just want to run a marathon a month, if they're staying adequately trained for whatever that means for that person. For something that could be 80 miles away, for something that could be 20, I don't know. so Might do that. I don't know. We'll see. Couch to marathon. i If you're coming from zero and this is a hot take in this industry, potentially, if you're coming from zero, if you have not ran at all, which that's like maybe some sports here and there, the occasional pickle ball, whatever. Even if you ran a marathon like five years ago, 10 years ago, and now you want to run another one. Like to me, it's again, right through process goals. Can you get to 30 miles a week? Can you cover roughly the marathon distance a week? And can you comfortably hold that for like four weeks?
00:15:35
wegettodothis
Then we train for the marathon. That's in my mind. Coming from me again with like the completion, like it depends on like what's your goal for the marathon. Again, exactly just trying to like complete it. right like My first marathon at grandma's in 2012, I think my longest run was like eight miles before that. It didn't feel good during the marathon. It was not, I don't recommend that.
00:16:02
wegettodothis
like yeah Well, Matt always, my coach always says that he truly believes anyone can do a marathon just from zero. Yeah. And I'm not saying you can't, it's more of like, what are you doing to your body? You know, I'm sure, you know, with your background, joints her do you want to go destroy your body for just to say, ensuring your body? Sure. Or you can transport. So, but to stay on topic, I'm getting a lot of podcasts like this though. Um,
00:16:28
wegettodothis
But yeah, so I got TC 10 mile. That's about seven weeks out in the half. That's about 11 weeks out and then or 13 weeks out, whatever it is. It's like first week of October is TC. It's like my first week of November is in the half. And you're racing all those like leading up to it too. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not super excited about those in terms of like, I want to go get these PRS. Like I'm, I'm very, my for the long, you know, at first it was, I want to break 20 minutes in the five guy.
00:16:58
wegettodothis
You know, then it was, I actually didn't do the 10K till later, but it was, I want to break 40 minutes in the 10K. Like that'd be cool. And you know, again, like it's ironic. I just said process over time goals, but like to me, it was like, yeah, these would be kind of cool milestones. And once I hit those milestones and both of those were in training runs. So process once I hit those, I was like, I don't really need to run these as hard as possible ever again. It was, you know, um, and then the 10 mile, like.
00:17:28
wegettodothis
I on a spur of a moment type of thing was like, I think I can go so 70 at the time. And that was a huge, long shot. Cause I hadn't even gotten that base for a 10 K yet. And this was like three years ago now. And I did that in just under 70 minutes and it was like one of the hardest things I've ever done and mentally changed me as a runner. And then I've like, I flipped a switch that day and have been a different runner since. And that was TC 10, 20, 22.
00:17:57
wegettodothis
And since then, I have not cared about PR in my demo. And so there are like some truths to like the time things where I'm like, okay, I got 69 for, you know, one, 69's adult PR. Two, like, you know. yeah And then for the half, it was, can I get under 90 minutes? And I did that. and So that's where like the sub three naturally starts to come up. But again, I felt, I felt this way about the half and the 10 mile to where I was like, if I don't get them, you know, maybe I would have kept trying. I don't know. I don't know. So I, I'm not as, I'm just not as excited about those PRs as I am about like CIM. I really want to go crush it. I'm like, that fires me up. The marathon is just my favorite distance. I love it.
00:18:51
wegettodothis
Well, I'm like, we talk about this a lot, but it's like running for us as a hobby. Like we're not professional athletes. Like we're doing this for fun. And it's like, if a goal doesn't like fire you up and make you excited. Right. Why are you doing it? like Not that we don't like our jobs, but it's like, that's the thing outside of our jobs. We're not making money off of it. Like we're just doing it for the hell of it. So right like just.
00:19:18
wegettodothis
I don't know. Like we, I feel like we just go out there and like have fun. And like, that's the point. And that's what was hard to see you like with the spring is every run was just like yeah hard. Whereas in the summer, like when we were like traveling and stuff, like if we, like if you weren't in the best mood or something, it'd be like, why don't you go run? And then you're like whole mood and personality would change after that. It's like you enjoy it. Yeah. And I would get to hotels and be like, Babe, babe, babe, I'm gonna math out my run for a month. Like I was like very excited. Yeah, we're like 8 p.m. You would want to go around and like normally you're yeah in bed by 8 p.m. So it's been very cool like seeing the whole shift and like to get excited again. So it's like this is your career. So you kind of do want to be excited about it too. So and it's your hobby. Right. Yeah. So that's the fall fitness wise.
Business Updates and Future Visions
00:20:12
wegettodothis
Business wise. Where are you at?
00:20:16
wegettodothis
with Dr. Kaley at you. Where am I at? So this fall, I will be, I extended another day at performance running gym i'm doing treatments. So I'm going to continue building the in-person treatments there with acupuncture, copying, microneedling, all that good stuff. And I'm actually going back to teaching, helping teach a class at Northwestern Health Sciences University this fall. So that's where I graduated and got my doctorate from. And I get to go help preclinical students with a class called accessory techniques. So I'll be there in the afternoons one day a week. And my goal for this fall is to kind of like just continue building
00:21:06
wegettodothis
the Dr. Kalyaki brand, and building this with you, helping with like run coaching, like our community calls and stuff that we're doing now. And co-hosting. Um, yeah, it's just been really fun, like being able to like bounce ideas off of each other and not just like be me.
00:21:28
wegettodothis
but like still having like my own brand and like business but now being able to like come together because I feel like both of us are in similar spots with like going off on our own right now and learning a ton. I would love to start building like more like online things.
00:21:48
wegettodothis
so This is not really been said yet, but like probably like building a course, um, focused on like integrative health, like for endurance athletes. Um, that's something I'm super passionate about. So be able to do something online with that and then doing like more telehealth stuff. And yeah, a lot of things that I'm like thinking about, but like being a business owner, small business owner, like in doing everything on your own, like
00:22:19
wegettodothis
It's just everything just takes so much time like the marketing side of things, the accounting things. It's just all been such a huge like learning process. So but now I feel like my foundation of things is like pretty good. And now I can just like start like building off of that. And we kind of already talked about like with our like during our travels, you're kind of like nailing more of like where we see ourselves going. And that's more so that we can be virtual, so that we can help people like all over the country world with not being like one-on-one in person here. Like I still, there's a huge value in that, but I also would love to be able to help more people in less time. Cause right now, like one-on-one, you can only help so many people and it's the dollars for hours and. Especially when you're sticking needles.
00:23:17
wegettodothis
especially sticking needles in people, using cups, and I just want people to do more than that. So finding ways to do that now. I think there's a lot of options because the role of acupuncture, Chinese medicine, all this stuff is still relatively new in the U.S., just came over in like the 80s, and just integrated medicine as a whole. I feel like people are starting to turn more towards it and seeing like that there are other options and that you don't need to live in suffering.
00:23:46
wegettodothis
So now it's just finding out a way to like show people that and to spread that information and knowledge. Yeah. That's what I'm working on. I'm excited for you. Thanks. It's a lot. Yeah. I'm excited for you to be a teacher. Yeah. That'll be funny fun to get into. Yeah. Because I didn't for like the last year or so. Do you get nervous teaching?
00:24:12
wegettodothis
um I'm always afraid of like saying the wrong thing like but that's just like with everything in life like even if I know what I'm saying like I still just get worried that's gonna be like that's gonna be the wrong thing but then I like I feel like I'm good at explaining things and like being a teacher professor so like after I do it for a little bit like I really enjoy it and I might be helping out with the I also help chiropractors um learn acupuncture. So that course is starting up again this fall. So I might be doing that too. And with anything, I feel like when you're teaching something, like you just learn it that much better too. So I feel like it just like tunes up my skills even more. And I like showing.
00:24:58
wegettodothis
people things and like demonstrating stuff and like I'm a very like hands-on learner and not just like like I not an audio learner so like if people are like talking at me like I'm not picking it up so I really try like when I'm like helping like the students and stuff to like demonstrate and then have them like demonstrate back to make sure like they actually have an understanding which I feel like all those skills like then help translate to my acupuncture patients because I want to make sure that they're understanding what I'm saying too and not just me like talking and like giving all this information that's going right over their heads so yeah I enjoy it I mean my t my parents were teachers and so I come my grandparents were professors I come from a huge like teaching background not something I want to do like full-time at this point
00:25:47
wegettodothis
imposter syndrome, a lot of things there, but this is like a good like touch into that world. Yeah. So, okay. In December, you listen to this podcast and what we'll give you, we'll give you one thing. all the shes do on But if you listen to this podcast and it's like, what's one thing by December, you'll be like, shit. Yeah. If I get this accomplished business, um I mean, I'd love to double the amount of patients that I have a week right now.
00:26:17
wegettodothis
for my business. That would be pretty cool. Do we want to say like numbers behind things like that or no? Sure. We don't have to. No. and And part of what we're doing with this podcast is making it raw as hell. So like I'm very comfortable talking about this right now with you and putting this out there. Yeah, that's okay. Because I feel like especially like, well, kind of in any industry, especially like with acupuncturists, like people hate talking numbers and like saying like, how full you are. And it's like, just yeah. And like people hide prices of things too. Yeah. ta I'm like, why is it like this? So we talk about like being very transparent because like I want to know numbers and like salaries, incomes, and I feel like that's changing now too. Even on LinkedIn, people are like businesses are starting to post the salary because why do we have to like wait to find that out? like they already like Most businesses already have a number in mind. right So like but why do we need to like do this back and forth game and go through the whole interview process just to find out that like
00:27:21
wegettodothis
it's gonna be way lower than what you want. So and then in like, again, back to like acupuncturists, like a lot are part time. So it's like, hard to say like, what like a full schedule is. And like, I could say I'm fully booked. But I'm, you know, I have six hours that are open a week, like, to two days a week that are three hour shifts. So right now I have like pretty significant times open just because I want to be available for people. But so right now I'm hitting every week depends, but
00:28:01
wegettodothis
like eight to 10 patients a week or so. And that's been in, I've been doing three days a week at PRG up until this coming week now, like seven to 10. Um, and then at Crocus you were doing, you're doing like seven on that one day, right?
00:28:20
wegettodothis
that i was like 15 across two days. Yeah. two days and So for the mind be like one day yeah for the month, like between both of them, I was hitting between around like 18 and 90, like patients a month that I was seeing in person. So do you want to double that number or do you want to double the PRG number?
00:28:43
wegettodothis
Well, so now I'm down to one day a week at Crocus. So I have, so I'm doing about 10 patients there on that day. And then at P or G, I want to double those patients. Yeah. Well, and I find too, if the number set of things is I probably lost my train of thought right there. I was going to say something about how much energy you get back when you start doing like your own business and shit.
00:29:17
wegettodothis
I lost my train of thought. Well, yeah. Doubling back to like the numbers. like I'd like to get to go back to a range to 15 to 20 a week at PRG. Do you think there's a number that's like too like too much?
00:29:32
wegettodothis
feel like your energy's draining you're not really your buckets' too full Yeah, I mean some people can like go through people. I'm very like quick very quickly I very much like when I like meet with people like we're talking for a while and I know a lot of people don't like doing that but I mean, we'll catch up for anywhere from five to 15 minutes and that alone can be like more energy draining. Like, even though I like, I love doing it and I feel like that's a huge, like important part of my treatments, like make people feel like seen and heard. Um, it does take up more time and energy. So like 30 a week, like I think would be like five max. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. That would be.
00:30:21
wegettodothis
plenty. Which again is why I'm trying to like expand the online offerings because as much as I love doing in-person things and like again there's a huge benefit to it like it is very like energy sucking like as an introvert like being one-on-one with people like it's just a lot because I try to be 110% present for each person and giving them like my full attention in time and Even though it's like filling my cup, it's still like taking energy. Does that make sense? So yeah, like 25 to 30 would be great. And I need to start figuring out other things. Yeah. What about you? What's new? What's going on with the business? What's your goal for this fall?
00:31:16
wegettodothis
I'm just chilling, no endurance. It's just me now. Yeah, three, four years ago, it's kind of crazy because if I would show myself three, four years ago what I'm about to do next in my career, what I'm doing now, I didn't think I'd be doing until I was like 40, like realistically, maybe 30. So,
00:31:40
wegettodothis
Yeah, I'm excited. I'm scared. I was, for those of you that don't know, I was at PRG for like, they were like, what raised me, you know, and they were not even business wise, but fitness wise and like coming out of my past drama, those in my past, like going into PRG was my only safe place. went through a period of a year where I, the only time I felt like not very, very depressed was when I was at PRG, whether I was working with people, whatever, I just lived there. And it worked out nicely because it helped me build a career there too. So that was like the last thing that I let go of, I guess, and it was like very hard to let go of. And yeah, there's a lot there obviously, but I'm excited.
Oak Endurance and Professional Growth
00:32:30
wegettodothis
Oak Endurance now is, I'm completely on my own, working out of my,
00:32:35
wegettodothis
out of Relactive Wellness, Downtown North Loop, Minneapolis for like all my one-on-one and two-on-one in classes and things like that, all the in-person stuff. So you can find me there. And then run coaching, all the virtual stuff. It's through Oak. We launched the Oak Endurance app, which is sick and exciting too. I'm pretty like, wow, that's dope. So I have this app now in which all my run coaching clients are going to go in instead of training peaks, which at first I was like a little freaked out to do. And then I realized talking to you and then another client I had that most people are using training peaks because the coach knows how to use training peaks. Most people, that at least that I work with, the demographic I work with, don't give a shit what their, what their runs are through. Most people, and most people just want it to sink to their garment.
00:33:23
wegettodothis
That was like a heat, you know, and then it also makes like my life more fun because now you just say, Hey, I have an oak app and you download the oak app and it says oak endurance on your. homepage, right? You go into it and it has runs and a forum and all of like the oak endurance communities in there and I have two training plans done. I'm working on health health like eight or so i'm just like entry-level strength training that you can go and pick through and assign to yourself. And so, you know, you're talking about how much people can you touch and work with.
00:33:56
wegettodothis
I'm hoping I can, you know, really start to maximize, i you know, grow that number. Um, so that's exciting. It's scary. You know, like, yeah, like I was saying before I went off on that tang, like three to four years ago, I didn't think I'd be off on my own for a while. And so now the idea of like, I'm truly an entrepreneur, small business owner, and just on my own, it's, yeah, it's scary and it's fun. And, um,
00:34:23
wegettodothis
Yeah, I'm ready, I'm freaked out. you know And I think the biggest thing that's been hard is trying to navigate all of these different bridges I've built without burning any of them. That's like the hardest thing that no one warns you about is that like it's very hard not to burn bridges, whether you try to do your best or not to. And then there's also the...
00:34:52
wegettodothis
I don't know, just like the different people that are in your life, business wise, connection wise, whatever for so long. And then now they just aren't like the support is still there, but you don't see them as much. And you know, it's just different. So yeah, it'll be cool to kind of see how I navigate that and what, like what comes next for me. And though, because I'm also like, I don't know, I don't love being alone, you know, but I'm a lone wolf.
00:35:18
wegettodothis
too with like business. So I think my, like the community that, and my clients and whatnot helped me kind of with the itch of not being alone, you know, so. I, yeah, I feel like you've been learning a lot. This is like, we all, I feel like go through this, like a life lesson of like knowing when and what to let go of. Pruning. Pruning. And it doesn't necessarily need to be like, torching the thing, like doesn't need to be like a never thing.
00:35:47
wegettodothis
it can just be like at this point in my life, like I need to set this aside for a little bit. I think that comes from the like, we're not gonna burn bridges, but we're just gonna like take another path like at this time. And I think that can go for anything like relationships, friendships, work. right And it's hard, especially when it's something that's like provided that like safety net and like,
00:36:17
wegettodothis
changed, did change like the trajectory and trajectory of your life and like and then I don't know like I feel like I've like experienced like okay like I owe this person something because they got me to where I am today and it's like no like the goal in life like even like as kids to our parents like our goal is to like meet them where they were and then expand upon that And I think it's okay to like want to do even better. And it's not saying that like something was like bad or wrong or anything, but like, I don't think it always just comes back to like, what do you want? And then hopefully like people respect that in the end. Yeah, I think that like, I think that's kind of like, I heard a quote once about mentors and how it was like,
00:37:12
wegettodothis
It's like shitty mentors don't want their mentees to pass them. Good mentors hope their mentors mentees stay around them forever forever. And great mentors know that their mentees will eventually leave and want them to.
00:37:23
wegettodothis
Right. And I think that, that kind of translates to like relationships sometimes too, in a sense, like not that, you know, friendship and community, whatever, but I'm, you know, like everyone, we all go different paths and I'll go to different routes in our careers, like, you know, what I'm kind of like blurring different things now, but you get my point where it's like. It's all related. Right. yeah The, the, the great people, the great people understand.
00:37:50
wegettodothis
I guess, right? And that's something that I hope that I can do for, because I'm 26, right? You're 30. And we have like started to kind of now into that world too, where like people are looking to us for like mentorship a little bit. And one thing I learned from Todd's is that like I just want anyone that I help to win. And that was something he very much instilled in me. And it's like,
00:38:19
wegettodothis
You know, we talked with Taylor about this too, about how like the people that are ahead of you driving the ship, rowing the boat, whatever in the industry and whatever, you know, in our industry, right? Like they're focused on moving themselves and that level forward, right? The people be like low them. They're not, they're focused on getting them up there with them, right? So yeah, I think that that's kind of been a huge, a huge takeaway too. And yeah it's been hard because um like PRG for example is fucking awesome right so yeah you know but there's been other situations that went out that were really hard to navigate right so um and not thought that that wasn't easy navigation either but you know what i mean like they're both great people so um yeah and i think like in both of our cases with a lot of stuff too like there's
00:39:16
wegettodothis
Like I'm just super grateful because there's never like a wrong choice in what we're doing either. It's just kind of like, okay, like I'm super lucky to have all these options. Just like, what's the best for me at this time? And like, even though you like take this path, it's like, you're going to be taking another path this way and then this way, like it's going to be all over the place anyways. And I think that helps me remember too. Like we talked about this on our trip a lot. Also like we don't need to like have the end goal like right now, like My, even if I say like I want 25 to 30 patients, like that's not gonna, like I know that's not gonna be forever. That's just like a now goal. And like me personally, like that helps to know that like, I'm not gonna be like, not that I'm stuck, but like knowing that like I can change this whenever I want. So yeah, just not getting that stuck mentality. It's a fun thing with both our personalities too.
00:40:13
wegettodothis
just like Very much like let's just do it's fun. Let's just do it excites us right now, you know Yeah, and then chase that Like yeah, it's just a game like so many people have talked about that. This is all just a game We're just you know playing the game trying to level up. So By December ah December what's your one goal one thing your one goal your fuck yeah moment fuck yeah moment
Future Goals and Empowerment
00:40:48
wegettodothis
Being a alone, right? Like I've had my fuck yet moment. i yeah that That's like, I feel fucking great right now with where I'm at. So ah now I have to start thinking like, Oh, okay. I want to get like the Oak endurance. I don't want to lose 20 athletes in there. I think there's 13, so I would love to get 20 athletes in there. I wanna get the Oak Endurance app. I want the forum completed. I want the training plans completed. I want it to be, I want a subscription model for 50 bucks a month for like anyone to be in the app. I want the community call to be a hit. I wanna get that grown. And I wanna get it to a point where it's like, I feel very cool and comfortable going to anyone and saying, this is my app, download it, use your code, everything you need is in there. If you want personal coaching,
00:41:33
wegettodothis
it's two hundred bucks a month here yeah right I think that's the next step. That's what I'm, so I'm actually, I'm really interested in going on this coaching route as opposed to like the the training route, which a lot of my mentors have been in. So, paving paths, trying to. Yeah. Having fun. I think it's cool. cause Yeah. Again, we get to do whatever we want to do this.
00:41:57
wegettodothis
would better this And.
00:42:02
wegettodothis
Yeah. I just feel like both of us are in such like a growth mindset all the time. Yeah. And can take this literally wherever we want it, which sometimes that can be like overwhelming to be like, okay, I have all these options. Like where, where, and how do I take this? But, right but the cool thing is that we have each other. yeah so And we get to do this episode four. Wow. That's a wrap. Anything else?
00:42:31
wegettodothis
All right, I'm Jacob. And I'm Kaylee. We get to do this. Boom! of like yes in her people sorry
