00:00:00
Wanna get shredded and you just wanna get, like, all bugged up.
00:00:03
It's not the fact that you're like, you wanna get shredded and all bugged up.
00:00:06
You wanna the feeling of what that gives you is what it is.
00:00:10
Yeah.
00:00:10
So you are chasing and feeling regardless.
00:00:13
Like, I want to stay in top shape because of the feeling that it gives me.
00:00:20
I don't wanna go back to the scenario.
00:00:22
Where I felt like I'm very metabolically and flexible and not good at all.
00:00:28
Whereas like now, I feel very meta the flexible.
00:00:32
Right?
00:00:32
That gives me a certain feeling.
00:00:34
Sure.
00:00:34
And so I'm chasing that feeling every day.
00:00:36
There's days for sure to work out.
00:00:38
There's days also that I don't wanna put my kids to that.
00:00:42
But, like, the reality is is if I know that imprinting happens, like, it's all that
00:00:47
dedication and the consistency, there's consistency in everything that that really
00:00:52
compounds.
00:00:52
Alright.
00:00:52
Welcome back to
00:00:52
the full fuel podcast.
00:00:52
I'm your host, Doctor Alfred Alese.
00:00:59
And your second home is
00:01:00
my day.
00:01:01

00:01:02
They do the 1st house.
00:01:03
Anyway, man, we're back here with part 2 with Eddie Gomez Del Casale.
00:01:08
We had to cut it up because we were going a little long last time, and we just want people
00:01:11
to be able to digest this information in a, you know, a time frame that works.
00:01:15
So we got a lot more to talk about.
00:01:17
It's been a great conversation.
00:01:18
To see, brother.
00:01:19
You're gonna be training you're training for a bot.
00:01:23
Like, I just had to duck under that one.
00:01:24
You're training for a, body building show.
00:01:26
Correct.
00:01:27
You're telling me about that.
00:01:28
So we were kind of in the recovery room the other day.
00:01:30
This is on some cold plunge kinda getting your body back.
00:01:33
There's a story behind it too.
00:01:34
Something with your grandpa.
00:01:35
Right?
00:01:36
There's a story.
00:01:36
Yes.
00:01:37
Tell the story, bro.
00:01:38
Alright.
00:01:38
Let's go.
00:01:39
If you want to, if you no pressure, if you're doing it, I just know you're open.
00:01:42
People relate with the stories, and it helps people to to keep conquering lives.
00:01:46
So I don't mind to share my mind.
00:01:48
But, yeah, I was throwing the whole US I was in Las Vegas.
00:01:53
I get a call from my dad, like, every other day, but it was a little bit late at night.
00:01:58
He's like, hey, are you okay?
00:02:00
Like, yeah, get ready?
00:02:01
You know, like, for a while?
00:02:02
Like, you're gonna say bye to your grandma for the last time.
00:02:04
I was like, wait, what?
00:02:05
What's going on?
00:02:06
What's happening.
00:02:07
I just talked to him, you know, like, one more time, his lungs stopped working.
00:02:12
One of his dreams was to see me play professional basketball back home.
00:02:17
Due to my injury, I could never fulfill that dream of him, of his, sorry, and he wanted to
00:02:24
smoke a cigar on the stands.
00:02:26
That was his dream of like, well, and since growing up, you know, he will come to me like,
00:02:30
Abby, You're the favorite one.
00:02:32
You're the chosen one in the family.
00:02:33
You're gonna go play pro.
00:02:34
That's pressure.
00:02:35
A small a small bag of cigar.
00:02:37
I kinda wait every single year time, every time I was sitting, how was the game?
00:02:42
Oh, I scored these main points.
00:02:44
Yes.
00:02:44
And you're the chosen one.
00:02:45
You're gonna make it.
00:02:46
I love you, man.
00:02:47
I was like, can you wait for me?
00:02:48
Like, I'll take the first flight.
00:02:50
I was like, I'm not gonna make it.
00:02:52
I was like, what do you mean?
00:02:53
You're not gonna make it.
00:02:54
And this was very hard for me, man.
00:02:56
I had to miss the whole family was there was the only one missing it.
00:03:00
I was like, listen, and I promise you this.
00:03:02
First of all, you have to promise me you're gonna be very close to me.
00:03:05
You know, like, no matter what.
00:03:07
Like, you're gonna have some mechanics that you are around.
00:03:10
2nd, I'm gonna pre perform my first bodybuilding competition ever.
00:03:14
And we're gonna win together.
00:03:16
You know?
00:03:17
And when I win, I'm gonna smoke a cigar on a stage with the medal for you.
00:03:22
That's cool.
00:03:24
Okay.
00:03:25
I didn't know what I was signing up for now.
00:03:27
Yeah.
00:03:27
Oh my gosh.
00:03:28
Going back from my surgery, a £180.
00:03:31
You know, right now, by Monday, I have to be at 2:20.
00:03:34
I'm at 2:19 right now.
00:03:36
And the goal is to go all the way to 2:35 by the end of May 1st week of June.
00:03:43
Okay.
00:03:44
And from there, start to to cut down.
00:03:46
You know, I'm actually doing that very clean bulk, which I'm I'm good.
00:03:49
It would take me not a lot to get bite there.
00:03:52
Yeah.
00:03:52
I've been dialing, working out for a whole year, and now, Courseri after I did this
00:03:59
promise.
00:04:00
Yeah.
00:04:00
And it has been good.
00:04:01
I love it because I mean, it's not any other different than my previous life because I love
00:04:06
to work out, but, you know, dieting.
00:04:08
Maybe the tracking of that stuff.
00:04:09
A little bit more intense.
00:04:11
Single day.
00:04:11
What are you tracking?
00:04:12
Just everything?
00:04:14
Everything.
00:04:14
Well, every single market that you might think I'm taking every single vitamin that you might
00:04:18
think obviously, I'm doing some digesting enzymes as well.
00:04:23
I'm also buying apple, which helps you, you know, to to digest as well.
00:04:27
Because I'm eating so much.
00:04:28
Like, I'm eating Everybody's gotta process all that.
00:04:31
1800 calories to 5000 calories a day.
00:04:33
Okay.
00:04:34
Which is a lot, if you know.
00:04:35
That'll put on mass.
00:04:36
Yeah.
00:04:36
So this is that, man.
00:04:38
Be a bit training and with a measurement.
00:04:41
Like, and I have to do it.
00:04:42
I have to do it because if I don't I'm gonna be, you know, like, I mean
00:04:47
So that's that driving factor.
00:04:48
That's what we talk about in our coaching program is, like, the why?
00:04:51
Every week, we do a coaching call and we talk to these guys, like, why are you doing why are
00:04:55
you doing this?
00:04:55
And it pounded in their head that, like, I signed up for this because I'm fat, and my wife
00:05:00
isn't tracked to me anymore.
00:05:01
Like, when you have to say that over and over bro, like, That, like, is motivating.
00:05:05
You know what I mean?
00:05:05
And so it's, like, it'll keep you grounded and and to, like, why you signed up.
00:05:09
So, like, having that connection with your grandpa, man, and, like, the, the fuel, right?
00:05:13
That's the fuel for the fire.
00:05:15
And it's funny because some days, I don't feel like going to the gym, And I'm I go, you know,
00:05:21
like, I mean, I'm tired and some days lifting.
00:05:26
I'm like, how the heck did I lift it?
00:05:28
Yeah.
00:05:29
Like, and I and I know why, you know, he's lifting with me and I can feel it, you know.
00:05:33
And some days when when the bitch boy comes, you know, his voice comes, you know, like Nice.
00:05:40
Nice.
00:05:40
Chosen when you're gonna win, you
00:05:42
know, and I love them.
00:05:43
And that's why on the previous episode that we recorded when we talked about you talking,
00:05:49
praying with your kids is so important because they're always observing.
00:05:53
They're always gonna remember little things.
00:05:55
Like, you what you think that they're not gonna remember, they're gonna remember, you know, and
00:05:59
it's so important because right now, that's that's my feel,
00:06:02
you know, and
00:06:03
it's what making me better, you know.
00:06:05
So completely natural.
00:06:06
I'm not thinking any nothing, any extras.
00:06:09
Which makes a little bit harder.
00:06:11
So is the competition?
00:06:11
It's a natural competition that I'm guessing.
00:06:13
There's there's 2 different, like, realms of body building.
00:06:15
Like So
00:06:16
I'm trying to see how I am by July.
00:06:18
Yeah.
00:06:19
And the one that I wanna do, which is the, one in Houston, Texas from shredding, which is by
00:06:25
Alpholit.
00:06:26
Okay.
00:06:26
It's actually not It's natural.
00:06:30
Yeah.
00:06:30
Well, so you're gonna be competing with guys who are on.
00:06:32
Yeah.
00:06:32
So I'm gonna see how that turns probably.
00:06:35
I think we all know that I'm gonna have choose a natural one.
00:06:39
Yeah.
00:06:39
Yeah.
00:06:39
But I would think so.
00:06:40
Yeah.
00:06:41
Unloading the process, man.
00:06:42
You know?
00:06:42
For sure.
00:06:43
Cool, man.
00:06:44
You said something about, like, not feeling like going to the gym.
00:06:48
And what did, I'm pretty sure Chris Cavalini was the one who said it.
00:06:51
He was like, fuck your feelings.
00:06:53
He was like, you don't feel like going to the gym?
00:06:55
Fuck your feelings.
00:06:55
Go to
00:06:56
the gym.
00:06:56
Do it.
00:06:56
Or you feel like you're a little sad and you wanna eat that doughnut, it's like, no.
00:07:00
Like, fuck those feelings.
00:07:01
Like, if you if the reason you're doing a behavior is because of a feeling like an
00:07:06
emotional like, response.
00:07:08
It's like, check that and, like, really, like, find out what that is.
00:07:11
Does this serve me?
00:07:12
Right?
00:07:13
Does me, like, feeling a little stress from my day, so I'm justifying going again a milkshake
00:07:18
serve my long term goals.
00:07:20
Hell no.
00:07:20
That stuff me, man.
00:07:21
And that's like
00:07:22
Yeah.
00:07:22
Yeah.
00:07:22
I also like this, like, when he says it in our way.
00:07:24
It's also the dynamic of the feeling you're chasing too because it's like that feeling
00:07:29
you're chasing, well, don't do this.
00:07:31
I'm not going to get that feeling.
00:07:33
Right?
00:07:33
So you always go through the temperature check of, like, the current feeling.
00:07:38
Versus the feeling that you're going to.
00:07:39
Right?
00:07:40
There's always a feeling when you folks work out.
00:07:42
Right?
00:07:42
There's like, ah, man, I'm glad I did that.
00:07:44
Right?
00:07:44
Always, every time.
00:07:45
Always, every time.
00:07:46
It, it's one of those things where the the feeling that you're chasing is, because it's
00:07:51
not, you know, Edna Lett was talking about this the other day.
00:07:54
When you wanna get shredded and you just wanna get, like, all bugged up, it's not the fact
00:07:58
that you're like, you wanna get shredded and all bugged up.
00:08:01
You want the feeling of what that gives you.
00:08:04
Is what it is.
00:08:05
Yeah.
00:08:05
So you are chasing a feeling regardless.
00:08:08
Like, I want to stay in top shape because of the feeling that it gives me.
00:08:14
Yeah.
00:08:15
I don't wanna go back to the scenario where I felt like I'm very metabolically and flexible.
00:08:21
And not good at all.
00:08:23
Whereas like now, I feel very metabolically flexible.
00:08:26
Right?
00:08:27
That gives me a certain feeling.
00:08:28
That's right.
00:08:29
And so I'm chasing that feeling every day.
00:08:31
There's days for sure.
00:08:32
I don't wanna work out.
00:08:33
There's days also that I don't wanna put my kids to bed.
00:08:36
But, like, the reality is is if I know that imprinting happens, like, it's all that
00:08:41
dedication and the consistency.
00:08:43
It's consistency and everything.
00:08:44
We do that really compounds.
00:08:47
You know what?
00:08:47
It resonates a little bit too, but a lot is your story of, like, your grandfather.
00:08:52
I had a grandmother that, like, always that was the same way with me.
00:08:55
Yeah.
00:08:56
For basketball.
00:08:57
Like, yeah, like, she just wanted me to, like, go places.
00:09:01
And it didn't work out.
00:09:03
Like, I wish I, like, performed at a higher level.
00:09:06
I didn't.
00:09:07
But the reality is is that can take 1 of 2 directions then.
00:09:11
I can sit with the mentality of like, man, I didn't make it.
00:09:15
I can become a victim of that lifestyle, or I can be like, man, that's just gonna make me
00:09:20
better.
00:09:20
Like, I'm gonna go attack today.
00:09:22
I'm gonna go attack today in her name.
00:09:24
Like, I was super close to her, and she was like, like, really impactful in my life.
00:09:29
But That's where she wouldn't want me because I didn't play basketball at a super high level.
00:09:36
Where, like, she wouldn't want that to be the dictation of the story of my life.
00:09:40
She's like, no, just go attack something else.
00:09:42
Go get it.
00:09:43
And so you just gotta go attack life.
00:09:45
Like, I do that with my businesses and how I approach each day.
00:09:49
Like, how how are we improving?
00:09:51
How are we getting better?
00:09:53
For that day.
00:09:54
And we go back to that element we're talking about early of just, like, presence and how,
00:09:58
like, presence is the the major impact of where you can improve like that.
00:10:04
How can I how can I make those incremental shifts about the daily habit structures that I
00:10:08
put in reading?
00:10:09
Yeah, connecting with, one another.
00:10:12
Making the pais for an apartment complex.
00:10:15
How can I connect?
00:10:16
Like, those are those are really cool things, but, like, if if you didn't do that, like, you
00:10:21
know, how many more people?
00:10:22
It's like to add my let's book the power 1 more.
00:10:24
Right?
00:10:25
It's that one person that ultimately could level it up and change the direction in your
00:10:29
life.
00:10:29
So it's cool.
00:10:30
I
00:10:30
yeah.
00:10:30
I also think it's like and it's the same in business.
00:10:33
We were talking about this as we're growing, like, multiple businesses, but to get that
00:10:38
desired result.
00:10:39
That's the the sexy cool thing that you're trying to go for.
00:10:43
It takes the daily mind that kinda sucks sometimes.
00:10:48
You're like, man, like, it's the same.
00:10:49
Today's the same.
00:10:50
I'm doing the same thing.
00:10:52
But if you can pound that man and do it every single day, kinda get past that on the end is
00:10:57
where that result comes.
00:10:58
You know?
00:10:59
It's called the compound effect.
00:11:00
So it is, you know, block.
00:11:02
We block.
00:11:02
That's right.
00:11:03
One brick at a time.
00:11:04
You say that all the time?
00:11:05
Yeah.
00:11:05
It's brick by brick.
00:11:06
Yeah.
00:11:06
I Brick by brick.
00:11:07
That's it.
00:11:07
The That's how it was built.
00:11:09
Right?
00:11:10
That's how it was built.
00:11:12
Beat the elephant.
00:11:13
Right?
00:11:13
The there's a pastor in Oklahoma City.
00:11:16
Craig Rochelle.
00:11:17
Great.
00:11:17
Like, phenomenal author.
00:11:18
High level mindset coach.
00:11:20
Leadership.
00:11:20
But Craigersheld, talks a lot about, the element of doing things consistently, what
00:11:25
other people do sometimes you do consistently.
00:11:31
Right?
00:11:32
And so, like, or
00:11:33
what what what others do occasionally,
00:11:33
you do consistently.
00:11:33
And that's really what the change is is that you're willing to do that consistently versus
00:11:43
other people are like, oh, I'm gonna hop into this.
00:11:45
And, one of our optimizers said that the other day.
00:11:48
It's like, in fitness, people are always falling off.
00:11:51
Right?
00:11:52
Like, oh, I'm gonna do it for, like, a couple months.
00:11:54
I'm gonna get it, but it's literally a way of life.
00:11:56
You know, you have to choose your health.
00:11:59
You have to that that's a conscious choice that you make every day Yeah.
00:12:03
That I am choosing my health and that I am not gonna be occasional with my health That's why,
00:12:09
like, there was even somebody that said, like, oh, they were talking, I was talking to him or
00:12:15
something about the nutritious product or whatever.
00:12:17
They're like, yeah, I'm just not into working out.
00:12:19
Like, I I, like, you know, so you aren't choosing your health.
00:12:22
Like, you aren't, like, shoot, like, I I don't I don't So what are you into?
00:12:26
Yeah.
00:12:26
So what's that?
00:12:27
Muff it down.
00:12:30
So but, I mean, that's the reality is is that and it's like, it's that that choice then is
00:12:36
the brick by brick.
00:12:37
That's how you're building Rome.
00:12:39
Right?
00:12:39
Your body is Rome.
00:12:40
It's a lifestyle.
00:12:41
I was even talking about this too is the element of whether we like it or not, we are a
00:12:48
brand.
00:12:49
Like, I am a brand.
00:12:50
I am my own brand.
00:12:51
I am branding myself.
00:12:52
Right?
00:12:53
So how I interpret you and I interpret you is how you hold yourself.
00:12:57
Right?
00:12:58
And so you are that brand.
00:13:00
Like, whether you like it or not, like, you are a brand.
00:13:03
Like, I'm walking.
00:13:03
I'm marketing myself to somebody every day.
00:13:07
And so if I'm not branding myself in the way that, like, I wanna project onto somebody else,
00:13:14
if I don't have even like my confidence, my confidence is derived of how how I hold my
00:13:20
body.
00:13:20
Everything goes to back to like how I am branding myself.
00:13:25
Yeah.
00:13:25
So if you see a guy that is just, like, absolutely floppy, he's overworked.
00:13:30
He just looks tired.
00:13:31
Right?
00:13:32
And he might be successful in his business, but he just looks freaking tired.
00:13:36
Right?
00:13:37
That's a brand.
00:13:38
He's still he's projecting a brand where you're like, Man, he but you walk into a room and
00:13:44
you're you're holding yourself.
00:13:45
You're like, dude, that, dude.
00:13:47
He's fit.
00:13:47
He
00:13:48
works out.
00:13:48
Like, dude, he holds himself to another standard.
00:13:51
He's willing to shake your hand.
00:13:52
Look you in the eyes.
00:13:53
It's like when the brand.
00:13:54
Yeah.
00:13:54
When you get a nice strong handshake too, right, versus like a weak little, like, sweaty
00:13:59
hands.
00:13:59
Like, you're like dead fish.
00:14:01
Yeah.
00:14:01
Dead fish.
00:14:01
Swaty hand them, like, instantly.
00:14:03
Like, there's just, like, I hate to say you're not judging them, but you're, like, you're
00:14:06
forming opinions, bro.
00:14:07
Like, Yeah.
00:14:08
It's like holding yourself to that.
00:14:10
That is like the worst too.
00:14:12
Like, the the dead fish hand.
00:14:14
Yeah.
00:14:14
I'm like, what do I do with this?
00:14:16
Like,
00:14:17
what if I do it?
00:14:20
Get rid of it.
00:14:21
Oh, that's funny shit.
00:14:24
That's what that fits in.
00:14:25
Yeah.
00:14:25
It comes in.
00:14:26
Especially I'm a man, but I'm even training my daughters that did another, like, did we
00:14:31
mention it by letter earlier.
00:14:32
So, something was brought up where, like, how you're training your kids.
00:14:37
Yeah.
00:14:37
And, like, why is
00:14:38
it, you know, that you
00:14:38
wait maybe if anyone does to train your kids at 1213, how to, like, have a handshake.
00:14:47
And then, so one thing that I'm doing with my kids right now, and
00:14:50
I teach them that.
00:14:51
Is, like, when they see somebody and, they're, like, Mister Gomez, so we're getting better.
00:15:01
So, yeah, you.
00:15:02
I'm getting a little bit better.
00:15:03
But, like, coming in, and being, like, good to see you today.
00:15:07
And they're, like, seven years old.
00:15:08
And they're, like, who are your parents?
00:15:09
Like, they're coming in shaking your head.
00:15:11
Hey.
00:15:12
Because that's abnormal.
00:15:13
Yeah.
00:15:13
Yeah.
00:15:14
It's, like, for a seven year old to come in.
00:15:15
And so, I wanna start, like, training them to be.
00:15:18
I already told them that, like, we're walking the other day.
00:15:20
I was like, make sure you make eye contact with that woman and say, hi.
00:15:24
And so we're walking.
00:15:25
She's one of our neighbors, and we see her all the time.
00:15:27
I'm like, hi.
00:15:28
I wanna make eye contact with people.
00:15:29
How you doing today?
00:15:30
Yeah.
00:15:30
Because I wanna project.
00:15:32
I'm pushing off my brand.
00:15:33
Right?
00:15:34
I wanna project that a smile is maybe gonna change their day.
00:15:40
Right?
00:15:40
Hey.
00:15:40
How you doing today?
00:15:41
And
00:15:41
so that's what I like doing on the walk.
00:15:43
Just making sure, you know, my wife's my wife's not like that.
00:15:46
She's like, you say hi to everybody, but I'm like, hi, and I'm picking up trash.
00:15:50
And, like, along the way, but, like, I want that to be a projection of the brain that I'm
00:15:54
putting out every single day.
00:15:56
Now with my kids that imprinting, we're talking about How are they going up at seven years old?
00:16:01
And they're being so confident that, hey, Mister Alessi, good to see you today and
00:16:04
shaking your hand.
00:16:04
And like with a smile, And and then you're like, dude, a six to seven year old.
00:16:11
I hope they never called me, Mister Lesley, though.
00:16:13
They're
00:16:13
that's that's the brand.
00:16:15
That's the tag brand.
00:16:16
Right?
00:16:16
It's important
00:16:17
So it's a it's an important thing to look at as far as, like, persona in our brand.
00:16:21
And they see that.
00:16:22
Like, they see
00:16:23
it too.
00:16:23
So, like, as much as you gotta teach them that, they'll see you do it.
00:16:26
Right.
00:16:26
Like, my kids I haven't ever taught them, like, go say hi to people.
00:16:30
We go to this juice shop, and they they hug everyone in there, but just strangers.
00:16:34
They just run up and they're the cutest little kids ever.
00:16:36
So everyone's like, oh my god.
00:16:37
Well, they, like, they hug, like, 10 different people.
00:16:39
They go by, like, to the counter, and they're, like, saying hi to the people who work there.
00:16:42
And it's because I do that.
00:16:43
Like, I'm always like, Hey.
00:16:44
How are you today?
00:16:45
Just the other day, I was at the DMV, the downtown Tampa 1, and you have to go up in
00:16:49
elevators.
00:16:50
I got 20 story elevator rides.
00:16:51
So it's good.
00:16:52
Good long ride.
00:16:53
There's 2 women in there, and it was, like, that quiet stuffy, weird elevator.
00:16:57
And I was just like, hey.
00:16:58
What was the best part of your day?
00:17:00
And they both, like, were, like, Like, they were shook.
00:17:03
They, like, were, like, so confused that I spoke in the elevator.
00:17:05
Like, that's like, you're not supposed to talk.
00:17:07
Right?
00:17:07
And everyone's just all quiet, like, in their quarter, and they was like,
00:17:09
oh, you know, like, finally got some stuff taken care of.
00:17:12
And I was like, hey, that's fantastic.
00:17:13
I'm happy for you.
00:17:13
You know?
00:17:14
I I love being different, like, being in in a good way, not like being weird or crazy or
00:17:19
anything like that.
00:17:20
But, like, standing apart.
00:17:21
You know what I mean?
00:17:22
From what everyone else is doing, just running the mill sheep, you know?
00:17:25
That just reminded me of, like, when you're out there at a restaurant, there's so many servers
00:17:29
that come over your table, you never know their name.
00:17:31
Right?
00:17:32
Yeah.
00:17:32
But asking their name.
00:17:34
Right?
00:17:34
Hey.
00:17:34
What's your name?
00:17:35
How you doing today?
00:17:36
Yeah.
00:17:36
Like, how's your day been going?
00:17:37
Like, those things, like, make a really strong impact on somebody else when you, like, ask
00:17:42
their name.
00:17:43
Like, when you know somebody's name and you're like, you know, you can say, and then you can
00:17:49
articulate that back to them.
00:17:50
Good seeing you today, Eddie.
00:17:51
Instead of just good seeing you today.
00:17:53
Oh, it hits
00:17:54
different.
00:17:54
Seeing you today, Eddie.
00:17:56
Really good seeing you today.
00:17:57
For sure.
00:17:57
Makes that other, like, that that your Eddie's your name.
00:18:01
Right?
00:18:01
That's your brand.
00:18:02
And so I, like, I wanna know, like, how don't that makes you feel.
00:18:07
And it always makes you feel.
00:18:08
You're like, you say, a good senior day, Matt.
00:18:10
Right?
00:18:11
You're like, Thanks.
00:18:12
But, yeah, that's it.
00:18:13
Hearing your name is one of the most powerful things.
00:18:16
Makes people happy also.
00:18:17
Yeah.
00:18:18
I always say they and it goes along with everything and with elevator because I'm sure
00:18:22
that you actually made the day better by asking them that because it's a reminder.
00:18:26
Yeah.
00:18:26
Possibly.
00:18:27
You have always super power that is lifting people up.
00:18:30
Why don't you use it?
00:18:31
Is your your your just one action away from lifting people up You know, in mind that I come
00:18:37
here and we just talk, but in mind that I come out like, dude, you look built, like, you
00:18:42
actually do, like, that beard is looking so much better.
00:18:45
Thank
00:18:45
you know, like, drink.
00:18:46
I like it.
00:18:47
You know, like, I'm going to keep it up.
00:18:49
You know, like, that feeling off, you know, like, and it helps so many people.
00:18:53
And I love that, you know, people that are like that.
00:18:55
That's the people that I want to share myself with, you know, like, people that they are all
00:18:59
about lifting others, you know, because that's how you keep climbing mountain.
00:19:02
You know?
00:19:03
So that's where that's
00:19:04
why we connected so well.
00:19:05
We just met you on the river walking.
00:19:06
We just like, we're like, hey.
00:19:07
What are you doing?
00:19:08
And you were like, walking.
00:19:09
We're like, you're obviously exercising.
00:19:10
You're pretty jacked.
00:19:11
Like, let's chat.
00:19:12
You know, we start talking, but it's what's all about, man, is like, we're all in this
00:19:16
together.
00:19:17
You know, we're all on this this earth.
00:19:19
Again, well, I said other episode, people at the top can collaborate at the bottom.
00:19:24
Yeah.
00:19:24
You know, the more you collaborate, the more you're gonna have, you know.
00:19:29
And it's
00:19:29
not even like about wasting your time.
00:19:32
It's about actually like going out there.
00:19:34
You know, like, nobody knows you.
00:19:37
Think about this.
00:19:38
Nobody knows you.
00:19:38
Think of how many people in this world there is.
00:19:41
Nobody knows you.
00:19:42
Start to collaborating start stretching hands, start to make people stay better, and that's,
00:19:47
you know, like, you'll make it.
00:19:48
That's exactly what my mentor told me one time.
00:19:51
You know, and it works.
00:19:53
You know, it's it's amazing.
00:19:54
You know, another thing that I wanted to mention, something that you guys talked about
00:19:59
your clients, you know, like, I don't feel like it going to the gym.
00:20:03
I always thought this.
00:20:05
In my interning your kids, that you quit because it was hard.
00:20:10
You know, that's one of the most crazy things that you can tell.
00:20:14
And that's something that my dad always tell me, you know, like, don't think about it today.
00:20:19
Think about the future when you have kids, and they're gonna ask you questions while you ask
00:20:22
me.
00:20:23
You wanna tell him that you quit because he was hard, or you wanna tell him that, you know,
00:20:27
like, you succeed because you put in the work against adversity.
00:20:31
You know?
00:20:32
So I I think that's huge, man.
00:20:34
I think that's huge.
00:20:35
Yeah.
00:20:35
It's, like, legacy kind of building right there.
00:20:38
You know?
00:20:38
For sure.
00:20:39
What was one of, so you you had mentioned, you had a mentor.
00:20:43
What is what is one?
00:20:45
It was a coach you had kind of along the way that you resonated with.
00:20:50
What is, I think mentorship is, like, extremely critical to rely on people and ask them
00:20:56
questions.
00:20:57
What what was who is your mentor, maybe now, and then did you have mentors growing up?
00:21:02
The one that I'm sick to be my you know, like, I wanna be like him.
00:21:06
I've never met such an amazing man like him ever, you know, and if you meet him, I mean,
00:21:12
you'll understand That's my main mentor.
00:21:15
You know?
00:21:16
But then as I went to through high school elementary, my teacher were my mentors.
00:21:19
They were educating me.
00:21:19
They were helping me Then I went to church, my priest were my mentors, you know, then I went,
00:21:26
and I had friends that they were actually mentoring me different things.
00:21:30
So there's not, like, such a thing, like, well, like, I have this person impacting.
00:21:34
I think that you have to take pick and choose from different people.
00:21:38
You know?
00:21:38
And I always try to have this even right now in my life.
00:21:41
I try to have people in Gabriela of fitness, faith, family, you know, finances, business,
00:21:50
and I tried to pick and choose from all of you know, so that that's why.
00:21:56
Yeah.
00:21:56
That's what I tried to do.
00:21:57
That's smart.
00:21:58
Yeah.
00:21:58
That's just like me.
00:21:59
I have, I feel like coaches for everything.
00:22:03
We do
00:22:03
have a
00:22:03
lot of coaches.
00:22:04
And the cooling though is, like, technically, like, you read a book by someone who's, like,
00:22:07
very profound and you get something out of that book.
00:22:09
That's like a mentor.
00:22:10
100%.
00:22:10
That person just happens to mentor thousands of people who read their book, but, like, you can
00:22:14
look at it like that.
00:22:15
You know?
00:22:15
Absolutely.
00:22:16
I 100% agree with that.
00:22:17
I think that you know, not all the time.
00:22:20
Are you gonna get direct access to John Maxwell?
00:22:22
But John Maxwell has made a major impact in my life.
00:22:25
Yeah.
00:22:26
Just by reading his books and listening as a podcast.
00:22:30
And Tony Robbins the same way.
00:22:32
Right?
00:22:32
Awesome.
00:22:33
Tony Robbins is made a major impact and it's, you know, you're not maybe gonna be directly,
00:22:39
but he absolutely is mentoring
00:22:41
for
00:22:41
sure from afar.
00:22:42
Yeah.
00:22:42
So, I I will hardly agree with that.
00:22:45
Think about this.
00:22:46
Our bodies are like a computer.
00:22:48
Like a huge database.
00:22:49
And you're gonna remember things that goes within your society that projects you to your
00:22:54
your purpose in life.
00:22:56
I mean, I I'm a faith based man.
00:22:58
And I truly know that we're here all for a mission.
00:23:01
We're a piece of a puzzle.
00:23:02
And I truly believe that people come into your life for you to learn at least one word one
00:23:08
sentence that is gonna help you Yeah.
00:23:10
To connect with the next person to impact somebody else, to give you the next opportunity
00:23:13
in life, something, along those lines.
00:23:16
You know, and I think that's huge.
00:23:17
You know, like, you're not supposed to memorize word by word from everybody or learn, like, oh
00:23:22
my gosh, I wanna live like him.
00:23:23
I wanna be like him.
00:23:24
You know, like, those people that they are wearing, like, you know, like, athletes,
00:23:29
nurses, and they try to be that person, you know, on, like, dude, you are not him, you
00:23:33
know, that you're you.
00:23:35
Be the best of you.
00:23:40

00:23:55
Live for fuel.
00:23:55
Lead beyond limits, baby.
00:24:00
Yeah.
00:24:01
I heard this thing from John Maxwell that I thought was really cool.
00:24:06
That goes right along line, with that.
00:24:09
But, like, John Maxwell, I think he said it, and then Edmund led set it to, at one point,
00:24:14
but then he gave context around it.
00:24:15
But comparison is the thief of joy.
00:24:17
I love that.
00:24:18
And so he said that, but so John Maxwell, he's like, but comparison is good.
00:24:24
And so I was like, oh, man, I wanna dig more into this.
00:24:27
And so he was He he bled through it a little bit.
00:24:29
And he said comparisons set your standard.
00:24:29
Right?
00:24:29
And so if you can compare, you can set than a standard, and that's how you elevate.
00:24:39
Right?
00:24:40
So you need to compare, but you also need to understand, like, where you're at.
00:24:46
Right?
00:24:46
And then the building blocks, be realistic as far as how you're gonna build the building
00:24:50
blocks.
00:24:50
But, like, going after having a clear understanding of, like, yeah.
00:24:55
That's where I that's where I wanna head.
00:24:57
Although it's gonna look a little bit different because it's me.
00:25:00
Right?
00:25:00
So comparison doesn't need to take away from the joy.
00:25:03
It's actually there's a healthy form of comparison and then what many people associate
00:25:09
comparison to now is our social comparison of like,
00:25:11
I need those things, but I
00:25:11
don't wanna work to get those things like he has those things.
00:25:18
Right?
00:25:19
And so we were just talking, about our social influence today.
00:25:23
And I was like, it's not that I'm trying to compare because we're doing coming up social
00:25:27
strategy.
00:25:28
And it's like, I'm not trying to compare our self to that person, but I was like, just the
00:25:35
way he demonstrates his messaging, how can we get a little bit better in our messaging to
00:25:38
to to
00:25:38
grow and to reach
00:25:39
more people?
00:25:44
And that's where the healthy comparison comes in rather than the scrolling comparison of,
00:25:48
like, I'm not gonna do the work to get to that point.
00:25:51
I just want to take away that joy.
00:25:53
Cause there's so much in that time, even when I was even struggling with depression and and you
00:25:59
is that the it is an element of comparison then is like, man, I how am I even gonna find my way
00:26:03
out of this?
00:26:04
Like, I you know, all these people have this stuff.
00:26:06
I don't know.
00:26:06
Yeah.
00:26:07
So what's it what's it even worth?
00:26:08
You know, when true joy lies within, like, I try I even tried to change my tentality this
00:26:16
year of, like, when people ask me how I'm doing, I hate when people, like, say, like this
00:26:22
and or and I was I felt like I was like that sometimes.
00:26:25
It depended on the day where I was like, yeah.
00:26:27
I'm doing alright.
00:26:28
Like, you know, couple things hit me, but but, like, if we could find the joy and I'm walking
00:26:34
and operate the man.
00:26:34
I'm blessed every day.
00:26:36
Yeah.
00:26:36
I am walking and I pray that I am blessed.
00:26:38
I'm not huge because he's few us questions to people.
00:26:42
What are what makes you happy?
00:26:44
You know, and tell me something good that has happened today to you.
00:26:45
It takes seconds for them to think about it.
00:26:51
Like, let me think.
00:26:52
I woke up this morning.
00:26:54
You know, like,
00:26:54
I did see.
00:26:55
I woke up, man.
00:26:56
I woke up.
00:26:56
So I have
00:26:59
Yeah.
00:26:59
All this stuff.
00:27:01
Right.
00:27:01
Right.
00:27:01
Like, you know.
00:27:03
Yeah.
00:27:03
That's gratitude, man.
00:27:04
Gratitude is, like, probably one of the things that changed my perspective on everything.
00:27:08
Like energy too.
00:27:09
You know?
00:27:10
Yeah.
00:27:10
Because you can wake up stress.
00:27:11
Oh, I got all this stuff to do, but if you wake up and the first thing you think about is like,
00:27:14
man, I'm not sleeping under a bridge.
00:27:16
Like, I am not sleeping on the street.
00:27:18
I have a house that I live in that is air conditioning.
00:27:20
Right?
00:27:20
Like, I am blessed more than a huge amount of people on this plan You know what I mean?
00:27:26
Stuff that we take for granted.
00:27:27
So, like, just like coming back down to earth on that, man.
00:27:30
See.
00:27:32
Yeah.
00:27:32
You know, even when even when you go to the restroom, you're doing your thing some clear
00:27:37
water, you know, like Yeah.
00:27:39
As many people, there's like Yeah.
00:27:41
You can open the tap and water comes out, man.
00:27:43
Exactly.
00:27:43
You know, that that's huge.
00:27:45
You know?
00:27:45
So Yeah.
00:27:46
I can't remember that.
00:27:47
It's that outlook.
00:27:48
It's like, you know, go go on, like, go give her mentality of, like, that level of
00:27:53
gratitude.
00:27:54
Like, the more The more you can see of how much abundance you do have, the more you can give
00:28:00
that to other people.
00:28:01
But if you can't see the abundance, you can't give that to other people.
00:28:05
Right?
00:28:06
Yeah.
00:28:06
That's right.
00:28:07
So.
00:28:07
And it's like, yeah, it's being like influence and stuff, man.
00:28:10
Just speak a little bit about, like, your coaching and your approach.
00:28:12
Right?
00:28:13
Like, what's My coach Yeah.
00:28:14
Okay.
00:28:15
Think about giving.
00:28:17
That's where the internal message is.
00:28:19
That's that's my core.
00:28:20
You know, like, if it's gonna help your life, I'll give it to you.
00:28:25
You know, now coaching, how does it work?
00:28:27
So like you mentioned last episode, I work with athletes and CEOs.
00:28:29
Okay.
00:28:33
There's different dynamics from CEOs with athletes because athletes, I'm coming already
00:28:38
into an organization with an extractor, and I'm just like, a tool out of an umbrella.
00:28:45
You know?
00:28:46
So that's actually very easy.
00:28:48
You know, like, that's, and you get into it.
00:28:50
You you meet with everybody.
00:28:52
You understand your role.
00:28:54
And once you're in, you design a diet and nutrition plan that is gonna work for the
00:28:59
athlete to be at optimum performance throughout the season, preseason playoffs, you know, even
00:29:01
Super Bowl.
00:29:06
You know, like, that's that's how, you know, calculate it is, you know, with some players,
00:29:10
you work directly with other higher end players that I am with.
00:29:16
You consult with them, they approve, they commit, you know, and this is something that I
00:29:20
always do.
00:29:20
I sign contracts with every single client that I have, and it's not like a contract with
00:29:27
liabilities, which we signed at the beginning.
00:29:29
It's also a contract between you and is how my standards, this is what I'm gonna put is what
00:29:36
you're gonna give me.
00:29:37
You know?
00:29:38
And then once that happens, if I work straight with the athlete, we do it.
00:29:42
If not, I talk to their chef, and that's how we do it.
00:29:46
You know?
00:29:46
And if they have a chef, I bring that contract with the chef as well.
00:29:50
This is the standards I need you to stay committed to this, this, this, and that, you
00:29:54
know,
00:29:55
CEOs high achievers because it's not only CEOs.
00:29:58
It's also high achievers who work more actually try to dig on the restoration of themselves.
00:30:02
You know, it's more like understanding.
00:30:04
You know, I have 6 pillars, you know, like, I'm sure that you guys also have, which I know.
00:30:08
Basically, it's more like, yes, nutrition and fitness coaching, but also with live coaching
00:30:13
oriented.
00:30:14
That's right.
00:30:15
Yeah.
00:30:15
I truly believe that in one fails.
00:30:17
Yeah.
00:30:17
The other ones are are are stuck to.
00:30:19
What things could be sabotaging other stuff.
00:30:21
Exactly.
00:30:21
Because they're not in place, for sure.
00:30:22
You can be super successful at business, but your family is failing or is hurting.
00:30:27
You know, you can be riff, but you're actually, you know, putting time into, you know,
00:30:32
something else.
00:30:32
Yeah.
00:30:33
Yeah.
00:30:33
So that's basically what it is.
00:30:35
Cool.
00:30:35
The
00:30:36
question that you made me, what it is, I just wanna give who you wanna be.
00:30:40
I wanna be the person that I needed when I was at the lowest part of my life.
00:30:44
That's what I spend every day.
00:30:46
Well, that's it, to be honest.
00:30:47
That's awesome, man.
00:30:48
Yeah.
00:30:49
And again, because, like, there are people out there who are struggling like you went through.
00:30:52
Right?
00:30:52
Everybody.
00:30:53
So,
00:30:53
like, if you can teach and help them get through that, you know, who better, right, than
00:30:57
someone who's been through it.
00:30:58
And sometimes I have the happiest people, you know.
00:31:00
Yeah.
00:31:00
When I went to depression, I was happy.
00:31:03
If I look at pictures, you know, people will tell me, man, you look good.
00:31:07
You don't even realize what I was thinking.
00:31:09
You know?
00:31:10
And everybody is everybody.
00:31:13
This is 100% size, whatever you want.
00:31:16
Everybody's gonna have a lower point in the life.
00:31:18
You know, everybody and the highest point as well.
00:31:21
But, you know, just like Ricky Rubio.
00:31:23
You guys know,
00:31:25
Yeah.
00:31:26
You
00:31:26
know, he's Like for timberwolves.
00:31:27
Right?
00:31:27
Yeah.
00:31:28
Yeah.
00:31:28
Spanish for a% player in basketball.
00:31:30
He has it a 2 and a saying that he says not too high, not too low.
00:31:35
You know, prune, and I love it.
00:31:37
That's cool.
00:31:38
You know, because never too high, never too low.
00:31:40
Yes.
00:31:40
Stay there.
00:31:41
Yeah.
00:31:42
You know, so
00:31:43
That's awesome, man.
00:31:44
I love that approach.
00:31:45
I mean, what are your 6 pillars, if you don't mind me asking?
00:31:48
Yeah.
00:31:48
Family, faith, finances, nutrition, Fitness.
00:31:54
And the last one is more like lifestyle.
00:31:57
Let's say that one.
00:31:58
Okay.
00:31:58
You know?
00:31:59
Very.
00:31:59
Yeah.
00:31:59
Very similar to both.
00:32:00
Yeah.
00:32:00
Which he could out he could alter as well.
00:32:02
You know, so Cool.
00:32:04
Depending the people that's from the activities that you do, you know, they are also gonna
00:32:08
affect, you know, So it's it's just pillars, you know, at the end of the day, everybody will
00:32:12
have the same.
00:32:13
You know, some people
00:32:14
have to.
00:32:15
Yeah.
00:32:15
Some people doesn't have faith.
00:32:16
Yeah.
00:32:17
But, you know, they have something else.
00:32:18
And it seems like make sure that what you have in life, you are actually doing this.
00:32:24
And if you have do we have time?
00:32:28
Yeah.
00:32:29
Do you have another pen?
00:32:31
Oh, I got a pen.
00:32:31
Yeah.
00:32:32
We can we
00:32:32
can do it.
00:32:33
One of you, you do it.
00:32:34
We can do it.
00:32:34
Take it through it.
00:32:35
Let's go.
00:32:36
And I encourage the audience.
00:32:38
Even you guys with your athletes do it.
00:32:40
I do it every time I speak on a stage.
00:32:42
With people.
00:32:43
So put family.
00:32:44
Let's go.
00:32:45

Nutrition.
00:32:52
Fitness.
00:32:54
Okay.
00:32:55
Don't focus.
00:32:56
Focus is like life.
00:32:57
Okay.
00:32:57
Like, let's close it.
00:32:58
Okay?
00:32:59
You're gonna rate yourself from 0 to 10 on each one.
00:33:01
How well are you doing from with your family?
00:33:04
You know?
00:33:04
0 to 10, 10 being high.
00:33:05
The 10 is the max.
00:33:06
0 is the lowest.
00:33:07
You know, I'm not showing up for my family, you know.
00:33:10
Okay.
00:33:11
Faith, full transparency, man, I need to be better about, you know, praying to god and and
00:33:14
trusting.

00:33:15
Okay.
00:33:16
Finances,
00:33:17
Okay.
00:33:19
Nutrition.
00:33:20
It's pretty dialed in.
00:33:21
You know, I have cheap meals at 8 lasagna on Easter.
00:33:26
Fitness.
00:33:26
Dude, I'm I'm I'm on it right now.

00:33:33
It's not easy, distractable, for sure.
00:33:35
Okay.
00:33:35
So we got a total of wait.
00:33:37
Wait.
00:33:37
38 out of 60s where
00:33:38
I'm at?
00:33:39

00:33:39
So I did put 38.
00:33:43
Okay.
00:33:43
So Just a quick subjective.
00:33:43
Well, then I'll go 38.
00:33:43
123456.
00:33:43
Okay.
00:33:50
If you don't believe in faith, you can do, 5.
00:33:53
Okay.
00:33:53
So we're gonna divide it by 6.
00:33:55
Okay.
00:33:56
It gives a 6.3, write it down.
00:33:59
Times 10.
00:34:00
Yeah.
00:34:01
63.
00:34:02
Okay.
00:34:03
63.3.
00:34:03
That's the percentage that you are putting on your life
00:34:05
Yeah.
00:34:06
That's right.
00:34:07
So now And that's eye opening because, like
00:34:09

That's what I do.
00:34:15
And I It's not like a secret.
00:34:17
I want everybody to do this because he the first time that I did it with me, it was 32%.
00:34:22
You know?
00:34:23
And now having numbers.
00:34:24
Life is data.
00:34:25
Is like your body operates
00:34:27
as well.
00:34:27
So if you have this, now it's like, what am I missing?
00:34:31
What do I need to do?
00:34:32
Yeah.
00:34:32
You know, and you're never gonna be a 100 I'll tell you that.
00:34:34
Right.
00:34:35
But you can be closer to high nineties, you know, and that's when you're gonna get the
00:34:38
best.
00:34:38
Yeah.
00:34:39
Yeah.
00:34:40
I love that, man.
00:34:41
So we have we have a similar thing.
00:34:42
We have 6 pillars that we operate by.
00:34:44
We created a cool, like, diagram, but fuel movement sleep, they're a little bit more like
00:34:49
physical based on the front end.
00:34:50
Fuel movement sleep, mind, Hello.
00:34:52
And then work and spirit.
00:34:54
Mhmm.
00:34:54
And so, like, we always talk about that's how you live full fueled.
00:34:58
You said the word fulfilled, And, like, it sounds like full fueled.
00:35:00
That's kinda where the name came from.
00:35:02
It's like, how do I live a full fueled life, right, where, like, I'm operating and I'm
00:35:06
dialed in.
00:35:06
What does that mean to you, man?
00:35:08
Be in full fueled.
00:35:09
Full fueled, I think that taking care of every pillar of life that is moving you forward
00:35:16
towards your mission and vision.
00:35:18
I think that's that's what it is, you know, fulfillment.
00:35:21
You know, happy.
00:35:23
Makes me happy to be here.

You know, getting drunk with my friends.
00:35:33
I could.
00:35:34
Yeah.
00:35:34
