Introduction and Purpose
00:00:00
Speaker
2024 what is up what's up we're here this is the first episode this is the first episode i want to tell you why i actually started this podcast um because i'm sure there's a few of you that might listen and maybe you never um listen to my first episode so basically the reason why i started this is because i just wanted to be able to talk about
00:00:26
Speaker
my own personal experiences in a long form because i do this on instagram like i make a little short videos but i was like i want i got more to say so i just wanted to talk about my own personal experiences and things that i've done in my life to help me just become better and i wanted to talk about it so when people would listen
00:00:48
Speaker
Maybe they would relate to it. Maybe they would, you know, do the things that I was doing in my life to change their life. And if I could just help one person.
00:00:57
Speaker
by making an episode of this podcast. Um, that that's the goal that is, that is the, the end goal here, just to keep spreading the message about how to live a better life.
Reflecting on Past Choices
00:01:12
Speaker
Because I just spent so long of my own life, like just so many years wasted.
00:01:19
Speaker
I had so many years wasted on my life just not feeling good and making bad choices and just just living a shitty life because I like at the time I'm sure I thought my life was amazing but like when I really look back on it I'm like man I would never want to be living that life and I want to ask you guys some questions here today
00:01:46
Speaker
do you have anything do you have like a gut feeling where you know that you really want to do something like you have that fire inside you and it's something that maybe you've been thinking about for so long like it could be I don't know maybe you just want a different type of job or maybe you want to start a yoga studio or
00:02:12
Speaker
If you want to open up your own gym, I don't know what it is, but like, have you ever had that gut feeling that like, I really deserve more in my life and this is what I really want to be doing.
00:02:25
Speaker
but I have this job that pays me a lot of money and I'm comfortable there. Um, you know, I have children, obviously I gotta, I gotta stay there because I'm getting money. I got to feed my kids. And then you start like doubting yourself about, Oh, well, if, if I do open up that yoga studio, if I do open up that gym, or if I do take a chance on myself, I'll probably fail. And then I won't be able to feed my kids, won't be able to pay my bills. So like, I guess I'm going to have to stay in this shop for the rest of my life.
00:02:52
Speaker
but you always have that gut feeling that you deserve more. Wow. Think about that for a minute.
Experiences in Various Jobs
00:03:03
Speaker
And the reason why I'm asking this question is because I know that when I was working in, I used to weld, I was a welder for a couple of years. I don't know if anybody knew that. I was a construction worker. I operated heavy equipment. Um, I worked in Fort McMurray, weren't Grand Prairie. I worked in the oil fields fracking. I drove like semi trucks. I've done a lot of things.
00:03:30
Speaker
But when I was in those jobs, I always knew that I was just a number to these companies. They didn't give a fuck about me.
00:03:39
Speaker
I was just a number. I was making them money. I made money, too. But I always knew that there was something more. There was something else that I could be doing with my life. I was like, man, this is this can't be it. This can't be it. I can't be here working three, four weeks at a time away from home, not having a life, getting minimal sleep, tired as fuck all the time just to make a buck.
Embracing Risk and Change
00:04:10
Speaker
But, you know, when I got off, I had all this money and I could do whatever I want. And it was all fun and games. But like, now that I think about it, it's like, that was, that's to me, I'll never, I'm never, my goal is to never go back to that again because there is a better life now.
00:04:35
Speaker
I took a chance on myself. I could have went back to Alberta, but I was like, you know what? No, enough is enough. I got to try something different. And I took a chance on myself.
Opportunities in Fitness and Social Media
00:04:50
Speaker
I always had that gut feeling that there was something more for me, and I had that gut feeling for years.
00:04:58
Speaker
and years and years and i never ever did take a chance because i doubt it myself and i i built up stories in my head and i i was i would tell myself that i would fail and it wouldn't work out and i wouldn't make as much money and it wouldn't be happy and if i never had money it wouldn't be happy and it was always money money money money
00:05:17
Speaker
And then one day the universe just made shit happen for me. And I decided to leave the work that I was doing. And I, you know, I started out doing online fitness, fitness training. Um, then I was doing like, like life coaching and you know, I was, I was just trying things out. Some of it never worked.
00:05:42
Speaker
Um, you know, I was, I was selling fitness bands online for the longest while. Um, you know, I kind of, I kind of, I was, I was kind of just trying things to see what worked. And that's when Microsoft became along for the power of social media. You know, they found me through social media, which I think is amazing. And I started working for them and I started micro dosing and I started seeing a lot of changes in myself and.
00:06:07
Speaker
Start just started spreading the message and then people start trying and then a lot of lives were being changed because i was just on social media talking about it and then i started working for micro sivan. And then one thing led to another like here we are i'm thirty six episodes in this podcast just talking about life.
00:06:28
Speaker
It's just wild to me, right?
Pursuing Passions Over Jobs
00:06:30
Speaker
It's been well over, I don't even know how long it's been to be honest since I worked construction and that life, right? Now trust me, I still have goals, I still want more, you know? I'm not gonna settle because we always settle, we start to get comfortable, right? But like, the reason why I'm telling you this story
00:06:55
Speaker
Like now it's january first reason why i'm telling you this story is because i don't want you guys to have that got feeling that there's more and you know there's more and you know you could be doing something else and you just don't do anything about it and you might not ever do anything about it.
00:07:17
Speaker
And before you know it you're 40 with three kids mortgage a Truck car a camper. I don't fucking know you got a bunch of bills and you can't afford to come home from Alberta Because you got you got you you are racked up to the neck with fucking bills you like you could you you don't have a choice I Mean you do have a choice like you could go up to Alberta save your money or whatever but the reason why I'm telling this is because I
00:07:48
Speaker
I don't want you to waste. I don't want to waste. I don't want you to waste your time because I wasted a lot of my time and I could be, I could have been doing what I'm doing now for years. It's just, I was too afraid to do it. And I talked myself out of doing it. And I just, you know, I was just God, that's not for me. That's not for me. I never had a lot of confidence in myself.
00:08:14
Speaker
So I'm going to ask you again, do you have some sort of gut feeling that you could be doing something else for your life?
Exploring Non-Traditional Income
00:08:24
Speaker
Maybe there's something that you're good at, but you just don't want to take a chance on yourself. Think about this. Maybe you do have something that you're really, really good at.
00:08:38
Speaker
but you don't spend a lot of time at that because your job is taking up all of your time. Now, just imagine if you left that job and you took maybe half of the time you spent that, that job doing something that you're really, really good at. And then you try to figure out, okay, how can I make money doing the thing that I love?
00:09:05
Speaker
I don't know what that is. It could be anything. It could be selling fucking socks. You could start, you can buy, you could literally go out, I see so many people, they got like these prints, they make shirts, they got like an Instagram page, they got like 100,000 followers on there and they're just selling shirts.
00:09:24
Speaker
You know what I mean? Like there's just so many ways that you can make money now. You could literally go on YouTube and start a channel talking about birds. Legit, you could start a channel about birds and you could just find a bunch of clips about certain birds and you can do a voiceover and learn about those birds and just do videos about birds.
00:09:49
Speaker
People will watch that and you if you build up a following on YouTube and you stay consistent with it You'll make an income. I actually know a guy I just was talking to him the other day and he posted in his story that how much money he made in one year because he was he just he just said fuck it and
00:10:10
Speaker
I'm going to jump on YouTube, make a channel and like his channel sick. Right. But he was consistent with it and he got better and better and better as he went along. And for miners to anything, he made almost $40,000 in one year off of fucking YouTube. Right. And like this guy is talking about.
00:10:30
Speaker
I think he's just talking about rappers and stuff like that. Just a couple of videos that I've seen. I don't know if he does any more than that. I know another guy that talks about the Raptors. Whatever happens with the Raptors, he just sits there and talks about it. And now he's doing that full time. Like there's so many ways that you could be making money besides a job that you fucking hate. A job that you wake up every morning
00:10:59
Speaker
And it hurts your soul to get out of bed and go do that. You know what I mean? Like it's 2024 and there's so many different ways that you could be making money nowadays besides just showing up to a fucking shitty job and doing something you hate, you know? Like if you're into gaming, you could start a
00:11:20
Speaker
you just start streaming. Obviously, you I don't know much about streaming and we get while you're gaming, but like, if you're good at gaming, and you have somewhat of a personality, you can fucking start streaming. And like, from my understanding, people are making money from that, you know, there's so many different ways to make money. So like, I just really want to like, put that in your head, if there's something that you think that you should be doing, or just something that that has not been on your mind for years, and
00:11:45
Speaker
You're just too scared to take a chance now is the time to fucking take a chance because if you never take a chance you're gonna be sitting there one day saying fuck I should have took a chance and That would have been me if I didn't fucking take a chance
00:11:58
Speaker
Yeah, sure. I would have lived
Evaluating Life for 2024
00:12:00
Speaker
a great life. I would have made a lot of money and I would have been working for a third of my life in Alberta and never been home and missed a lot of birthdays and celebrations and Christmases and all this other things. And maybe if I had kids, I probably wouldn't be in my kid's life and just be away all the fucking time. That doesn't sound good to me.
00:12:19
Speaker
Like to me, if I ever have children, I would love to be able to continue to work from home and then have my children around me all the time. And I, you know, did you know what I mean? So anyways, I don't want to go too deep into this, but like, I just want you guys to really think about that one thing that really fires you to fuck up.
00:12:43
Speaker
And the one thing that you're like, man, I could be doing that and I could be making money from that. And I could probably be like, you know, if I really took a chance myself, that could be that could become something. Just think about that one thing. Think about the life that you're living. Think about the current situation that you're in.
00:13:06
Speaker
Maybe you have a fucking great job. I don't know. Maybe you like your job, but you could still have a side hustle, right? You can still start it.
00:13:15
Speaker
Just because you, you know what I mean? You just got to find the time. You just got to like, maybe you just, maybe you waste a lot of time doing nothing. Watching Netflix every single night and you're not being productive. Like you just, just sit back and look at your life and like how many hours you spend doing certain things. I mean, like, could I be being, could I be more productive?
00:13:39
Speaker
towards something that's going to benefit me moving forward in the future. Maybe something is going to benefit me and give me some financial freedom. Right. So this year, 2024, ask yourself, what is it that you really want to be doing with your life?
00:13:59
Speaker
now is the best time than ever to make something of yourself and and make money without going to a job that you fucking hate okay so i hope you took something from this video and if you did take something from this video and i did maybe like
00:14:20
