2:40
sweat equity.
2:55
Almost forgot a hottie. tottie I mean,
2:59
it was God damn.
3:02
You'll figure it out just like them ads. Get it one day. Look a lot of ad DS off chain today and that's fine, who harnessing it and good. Sometimes it can help it can kind of keep you if you can harness add in a way it can kind of in an
3:20
inverse kind of way keep you focused on some things. Sure. Yeah. I mean, for podcasts, people love it when you go on tangents and never return to the original idea. But you know, I don't think that many people that are listening when we do go on some tangent highway stuff. I don't know how many people will remember that. Like true original point if they're listening the whole way through. Look, people are listening this while they're jogging while they're doing laundry, it's active go faster too by the way run faster active listening passive activity. As I heard the one of the shark guys on Shark Tank kind of explained it.
4:01
And that's kind of how podcasting works. And look if you're listening to this and you like the podcast The best thing you can do really over overdoing any of those ads is tell me money tell a friend about the podcast you can Venmo us whatever you want to send us money
4:18
give us money but that'll be our Patreon I don't want to get us on Patreon there's some already some controversy with that platform now that's why we're not on well that's why they they don't they I heard they're shutting down a lot of the right side of things over there. If you have a political right yeah. Oh, which is strange. Okay, cuz green should be your number one motive as a business. It weird time. We're all the tech kind of
4:49
giants. really lean very left. We're gonna get this weird area where free speech or not free speech but like the private institution
5:00
But it's it's that thing of like public pressure. Yeah, I think it's gonna have an adverse effect. I think they think they're they're, they're curbing hate speech or, or, you know we had Donald Trump getting suspended permanently,
5:14
which is
5:17
expulsion I heard Twitter lost $5 billion in worth, from that, really?
5:24
From that, yeah, that's, you know, stocks are weird. But yeah, yeah, but what no one wants to talk about is like, Twitter kind of suck it suck for a while. I mean, Twitter, God knows how long I, I was like, maybe I'll go back to cultivating Twitter is like a literal newsfeed of just stuff. I would, you know, think like, yeah, like Wall Street Journal, brain, Wall Street Journal, or the New York Times, pro football, talk calm, you know, the important stuff. Your Twitter. Yeah. And just that's what I just need to see my feed kind of thing. Right. But I don't know, it's, it's the worst social because it focused so much on brands and celebrity. And it created this huge wide gap. And they have, I don't know, they have a myriad of problems. And it's one of those things where it's like,
6:16
to be fair to them, though, they did let Trump kind of go nuts for a while on there. Like they liked it Really? For sure. I mean, they were definitely making money off of them somehow, if anything, they're kind of pro Trump in some people's eyes, I'm sure why. Because they allowed him to do it until this until now. Yeah. I mean, that's a free speech thing, sort of, you know, but that I think they had I was thinking about it, they really had to stick to their their code of conduct in a very, very black and white way, even though it's not very black and white for them, because they'll shut down accounts that yeah, I mean, someone's saying trans. Sure, yeah. President of the United States is gonna have his own special circumstances for sure. Yeah, I think they shut it down. Because he cited violence. They said, Yeah, he didn't help. But I don't I didn't read any of them. Well, I mean, I don't actually, I saw,
7:14
like a, just a rundown of what it was basically, he did. He was not necessarily telling people not to attack the Capitol. And I'm not so sure he didn't tell them that he loved them. And that they're good people and stuff like that.
7:29
Hey, Capitol Hill, we do an Al or o l What's going on there? Oh, well. Yeah. What? By my poor grammar, right in my brain doesn't work. It's Oh, yeah. But like, I'm like, is that right? Is that some reason? I can like see it on a coin or a bill or something? Is that our bill? Maybe it's the cartoon? I'm a bill. Maybe that's it? Well, everything in my mind is in cartoons. Right? So but it's one of those things where is it like colors when British people put a little u in there? Yeah, you're like wow, that's fancy, man. Yeah. rebar in from the Queen's English right. Hey, welcome to welcome to grammar talk. Pretty cool right. By Grammarly said it first dammit.
8:17
God we're dorks for apps. Yeah, bro. Fuck yeah. hate myself right now. No, man. That's sick. Then we're sneaking here. interlined Oh, yeah, the thing I bought, by the way. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers out there. My balls feel great. After my discectomy Yep, three weeks ago, and it looked like a dead bat for a while right? looking right at the camera. Maybe if I clip this out just for
8:46
one shot. So I'll do I'll do I'll do a fake. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for my my balls and scrotum after my vasectomy three weeks ago, look like you know when you leave old fruit out on the counter. You think you're gonna make banana bread out of those old bananas and then you just leave it there and you get what you get some flies and shit. That looks pretty gross in kind of contusion II but now we're back contusion II. Yeah. Okay. That's what Grammarly is a word. That's not a word either. Really? It's a brand I know. It's ironic. It's an ironic brand name. It's kind of funny. I guess it is when you think about it. Right. That I didn't do very good Grammarly. That's the Wink nod. I think of the name Really? Well, they didn't just add Li like every other app on the entire there was a period like yeah, like everybody bought up the Li domains. Yeah, for I think it's Libya. Maybe. Wait, oh, you're thinking Oh, you're talking about the actual like extension on the end of a URL URL? Yeah. I'm just saying like the name of an app.
9:54
Adding URL why was the the jam for a long time? Hey, shout out to timely, timely
10:00
I love timely. I'm a reference Oslo time.ly timely, they're awesome. Oh, I'm using a track my time. It's been interesting to see where I'm spending a lot of time and, you know,
10:12
I bent over in the mirror looking at
10:15
you know, I lay down
10:18
you know, I want to I want to take a rest if I'm gonna really look at I get ready to get the best I can
10:24
you know what I actually done? I get the phone and put it use that as the mirror. The camera time, but I'm always so scared now. Cuz like, have you accidentally swiped left on Instagram? And it's like, start a video started live show that happens to me all the time. I'm taking a dump. And I'm like, No, no, no, no. I mean, I'm surprised there's not like a whole Instagram page, like profile of people accidentally posting all this shit. I'm doing that. That's gonna be that ugly upward angle. Yeah, you kill yourself as a person being like, terrified in their face. Yeah. At the same time. This is how my dog sees me on the toilet all the time.
11:02
For Bo, I don't know about that angle. Yeah, but I mean, he's, he's in it. He he follows me around. He's, I'm his master and I feed him. Nobody's arguing that. Yeah. Plus, he's a gay dog. And he might want to see some little little dick and that is okay. That's the real answer. That's what's really going on. People think I made that up. He's really gay. Oh, yeah. twink we got to get our dogs together. With our dogs get married. Okay. We should just do it. I can't say no. We should see. I bet there is a
11:37
someone who's ordain a dog marriage right now. Only dogs. We don't want any previous humans. We're gonna have trouble getting a cake. I'm sure because no cake controversy but get a gay erotic dog cake. Yeah, that's shaped like a red rock.
11:56
Yeah, yeah. somebody out there can hook that up. Yeah. Yeah, they just bring a bunch of Swedish Fish that are just have a little bit of water.
12:05
Yeah, I went there went too far too far law. Well, look, maybe I'm vamping. Maybe I don't really want to be vulnerable and talk about some goal setting. But you know, I think it's important. It's important to put it out there. We've done it before on the show. I don't think you remember. I don't remember much of anything. We definitely have done it before. Goals. Goal setting for the year a lot of people doing New Year's resolution. Most people I forget the numbers I've read but it's it's an absurd amount of people break their new year's resolutions by Super Bowl or something like that. Yeah. Like, totally. like 70% or something. Yeah. You see, you go to the gym. It's fucking packed right now. By March. It's fine. Like, no one's there. That's the gym business model, honestly. Yeah, they make all their money January, they can't have everybody there at the same time. doesn't work that way. Yeah, I was just talking about this yesterday, reading this book, badass habits, okay.
13:09
And something that stood out to me and this was about when you want to create these new habits, like going to the gym and whatever, it's really important to mentally own. what it is you're doing where, like, a lot of people, you know, see themselves as overweight, and they got to lose weight. And they're, there's a fat person who needs to lose weight. It's like, well, if you think of it the other way, where it's like, you're somebody who's in shape, who put on too much weight, that's going to help you be much more likely to
13:43
adopt this habit long term. And I'm saying
13:47
so, like mentally becoming the person you want to be from going to the gym, you know, shredded, whatever, in your mind. You go there first, rather than thinking, Oh, I gotta lose this weight. It's like, I gotta, I gotta bring out that person that's already in there. That's who I am. Like, it sounds like a positive reinforcement or kind of an acting as if, yeah, I mean, get there. Yeah, it's like a you're manifesting through your mind. You know what you want? And then it outwardly
14:18
comes, it just helps you mentally be able to adopt a new habit. Yeah, yeah. It's fighting against yourself. You know, right. It's and I keep telling myself it's super easy to not do it. Oh, yeah. Right. Like, that's the easy thing. When when a lot of people are giving me shit about what I've been telling them. Here's what I want to do. I'll go over my list on the show, but
14:41
it's one of those things where they're like, wow, that seems that seems like a lot to handle and in my head, it will creep in a little bit like that, like, the negativity part. Right? And then I try to, I'm trying to, like a brain habit kind of way be like, I shouldn't let that affect them.
15:00
Like, yeah, it seems like a lot to you. Right? And, and that's what it is. It is a lot, but I'm saying like, it's manageable. And so yeah, and that's another thing. It's like, if you have somebody that's telling you about their goals, or what they're trying to do, don't take a shit on them. You know? Don't Don't shoot it down and poke holes in it right away. Like you don't know what their plan is. I mean, that I see a lot. I feel like you're about to with all mine. Oh, well, yeah.
15:32
Where's your list? I'm gonna copy off yours. Okay, it's all we have the same goals. I mean, I broke it up, we got some advice.
15:41
From a mentoree kind of teacher guy that had, you know, 20 of them, put it on a poster, put it in his wall. And he said, send it out to everybody. send it out to a bunch of people. Yeah, put it out there. I felt kind of corny, but then it was like, what I don't give a shit. Anyway. I know, after the last couple of years, personally, what are you gonna take for me? Right? Brian hurt my fucking feel right? I dare you. And so I try to look at an overall theme a little bit of like, let's get back to better than I used to be in a lot of different categories.
16:11
What did I really want to do, but really to break down goals. And I learned this from in high school from a good economics teacher was like, going saying you want to go to church more is not a goal. Right? It's not quantifiable. So it's it?
16:26
there's a there's a acronym for smart goals is Specific, Measurable, Attainable, relevant? Or, you know?
16:37
And then time based? Yeah. So it's one of the it's one of those things where it has to fit and all that criteria. Yeah. I mean, that's Yeah, for sure. There's you don't want to be getting to the end of the year and be like, Well, did I do that? Yeah. How should be able to know whether you reach your goal or not? So like wanting a bigger penis? Probably not attainable, but it's measurable. Haha. Yeah. Hey, I mean, you know, we'll get to the year. We'll see. But one way to do it, to get to those goals is I broke out kind of like, non goals first, like, what do I want to do? It's like, well, I want to feel healthier. I want to have more energy. Right, right. Right. So I put that like, to the left of this whole column of stuff, right? And I go, Okay, how am I gonna? What's the goal to make me get there? And I was like, one of them's like, I I'm as fat as I've ever been for me. I'm carrying around a lot more weight than it caught the SEC to me partying. Just not doing anything. For two weeks. He literally pizza. You look just like a big baby at the Christmas party. Yeah, yeah. Bad. Bad execution there that had nothing to do by weight necessarily. Well, just it just added it just you know, the belly help with the baby. Look. I mean, really good. Really good baby. Don't have a gut. I'm just saying I got I got I'm just saying the shape was more.
18:01
Baby. Know, I'm not saying I didn't call you fat? No. But as for me, but I feel it. You can kind of feel Oh, yeah, so it's like, Alright, let's see, up to 10. Now. Whoa, yeah. I think the highest I've ever been is to 20 when I was in high school, but that's like working out every day. Like just after football practice and shift for three hours. You got 50 pounds on man. Yeah. Which is fucking nuts. I know. But I feel like I don't feel well. day to day. I already know I could feel better when I'm under certain sounds like, okay, one thing to get me there is be under 183 pounds. But it's like, well, I need to make that measurable. So in and kind of attainable. So it was like, time based. So it's like, at least for three months out of the year. Right. You months out of the year. You want to be under that weight? Yeah. No, that's not what you want to do. That I'm making that you're the man who has 183 pounds. Get back to that man. Right? No, but I'm saying as a goal on my list of a saying within the next three months? No, no, just for at least random three months out of the year. Yeah, you could see how that's a dumb goal. Well, I think you're just gonna get fat again. No, no, I'm, I'm allowing myself because what I do is I go to harden the pain, a lot of shit. Right? Right. I'll get there. I could go Okay, get to 183. Right. Right. And then and then what? Right? What's the point of that? If you're not gonna maintain it? The point is, if I could take, you know, eight or nine months to get to there by the end of next year be able to be under that. Oh, you're saying that you want to be for this year by have the like have three Oh, by by the end of September? Yeah. Okay. But it could be any three months in the middle of the year. You know, like, okay, no, see, that's the point is backwards, the point but the point is, you can't be building in like failure on the back end.
20:00
Cuz it's failure. If you put the weight back on. It's realistic. It's what I'm saying. It's not. I mean, why, why is that? Why is that realistic? The idea you got there? Like can't keep it off. The idea is that because there's a lot of other shit on the plate, so it's like one of the problem.
20:18
All right. So like, one thing is like, you could do 100 push ups and 100 sit ups a day. So it's like, Herschel Walker. Yeah. Except he did it. Right. Because he has OCD.
20:30
And so array loose when he was in jail for allegedly, allegedly killing someone. Right? He would do 500 push ups and sit ups a day or something crazy like that. Yeah.
20:41
There's no reason I can't do that. Right. That's 100 100 and 100. Every day, I think I made it like 34,000. Just because I like the number 34. So do 34,000 push ups here? 34,000 sit ups. Oh, yeah. All right. Easy fitness score Do you at? I'm doing 120 a day on each show. Okay, because the way to get ahead, right. So the way not to get behind is to get ahead. And whatever I can kind of small wins stuff, right? The weight stuff is more of a small wins thing. It's not, I'll I'll be able to get that I know I can. It's one of those things where it's like, just make that one a little bit easier. Yeah, I just I think in general, like, you know, if you want to do it, like, like I said, change your mindset, like change, and not necessarily you I know what you're gonna do whatever the hell you want. You're not gonna listen to me. But if you're out there, lose weight. Don't build it in like, Okay, I'm gonna, you know, get there. And then I'll take a little time off. Don't do that. Once you get to your goal. I'm just saying, right? I'm just saying have a have a second goal. Maybe 73. Well, maybe that'll be next year. What's the look? How what's the lowest you've ever been when the last like an adult like as you and I have been friends so I can picture it? Oh, maybe? I mean, 187. Maybe? Yeah. He probably look weird. Like 170 pounds. No, the reason I did one of these is because I got it. I got in the best shape. Probably 10 years ago, I was like, I want to get I want one of the things that wasn't a goal. I was like, let's see if I can get better shape than I was 10 years ago.
22:18
And 183 was part of that constraint. I see.
22:22
So
22:24
I added this on late. You can add stuff in walk run 2000 miles. Not not too difficult, but you do have to make time for it. It was 2000. As I said, 5000. No, 2000 we did this yesterday. Right? Yeah, we're talking about five miles a day. You got that? 5000 miles? No, I think we did the math. I don't know. Okay.
22:47
I was looking at I think I had over 6000 last year. That was from one year I was looking at 2000 divided by? Is it a leap year? 365 is five that'll matter? 5.479. So, basically 5.5 so that you just did 2000 Yeah, divided by 365 365. Okay.
23:11
You did this yesterday, too. In front of me. I like I said, I don't remember nothing, because you didn't make any goals this year. My goal is to remember run a half marathon. That's part of the so this is all fitness clump of stuff, right? All attainable. I've done well. I didn't do 6000 miles last year. What the hell am I talking about?
23:32
Yeah, I don't know what you were talking about. Must have been the lifetime of that app. What Yeah, walk run 2000 miles and listen to the Burt Casper crushers podcast. He started about him and Michelle wolf talking about it going back and forth. They put it out there as a 2000 mile challenge. I was like
23:49
something that has to be a little bit terrifying, too. Little anxiety like yeah, everything kind of sucks. Yeah, but nothing we're doing is right. You know, nothing you should do. But don't do things because they're easy to do. Because they're hard that Brett Kennedy quote, you should put one one ice bath a month on there.
24:07
Put it on yours, man. I don't I already exceeded that. But there's other things along the way. Because I might want to work on inflammation stuff. So I might just add that into a habit or routine weekly routine. Sure. Right. I'm already kind of doing a lot of stuff. So I'm excited to have like the ancillary, because you have to like have a strategy for everything, you know, to attain this. And sometimes you're like, Oh, I have to build habits, right to be able to I got to build in time to walk run, or average. 5.5. Right. Yeah. And so that's a lot of scheduling. That's making sure that my schedule is tight and I'm not if I'm going to have to work on jokes or something creative. I'm gonna do it while I'm walking again. I used to do that a bunch. Yeah. It's part of that is also making it easy. set yourself up for success. Whatever that is. schedule it out. Have have your plan in place like
25:00
Know how you're gonna do it. So a lot of these three are kind of post divorce stuff for me, but it's like being a three bedroom house. Yeah, by the end of the year be debt free and make over 200 K, those are all attainable, all doable, I have no reason not to be able to do that, right.
25:19
And so that's more of like, kind of bigger, kind of like, keep your eyes on the prize. And honestly, by doing this and really kind of thinking about it a lot over the holiday break, because I tried to really, I have a lot of ones that I didn't make the cut, like get a bigger penis, right or get, you know, your foreskin added back on right, and things like that. with extra professional stuff like gain or leadership role something throughout the year. Right, right. Volunteer Services, something we used to do when we had our agency was to have one designated thing a quarter to donate time to. Yeah, so I wanted to get back to that. This one should actually figure something out for that. I've got I've got I'll tell you about that off air.
26:03
predict I told you and Damien for after we were off air last week, after we we did our episode, David Alcazar
26:13
you know, produce and I'd want y'all to be involved produce your own stand up power. Just put it on YouTube. Yeah. Yeah, that would be fun. It's gonna be tough. It might be tough in COVID era, but it's doable. Baby, I'm just saying no rules. I'm sitting on material I've done for over 10 years. That still kind of works. I just need to I need to have something like that to go toward like running a half marathon. I don't I fucking hate jogging. I don't want to do it. But if I put it on the calendar and go, Okay, I've got I could take six months and really just ease into it and just go hell higden if anybody needs beginners runners guide on how to really actually schedule that out? Yeah, you know, start with you run three times a week and you run a mile and yeah, all that stuff. That's all on the internet. So I want this podcast to have over 2000 subscribers by the end of the year. 20,000. That'd be 20,000. Sorry. Yeah. 20,000 subscribers, that that's gonna be tough one too. Yeah. But maybe two people will tell your friends, right? So give me money that we don't care about the subscribers. Um, I was listening legion of skanks. And I'm like, maybe we can make a deal with that with gas digital and just make some kind of
27:26
some kind of revenue share. situation where, look, they don't have to do any cost to produce it. We'll just split whatever revenue comes in through them. We we kind of align as a business show within that kind of free speech thing they got going on there. Maybe a deal like that will help us Yeah, and I mean, I should say like, the podcast is doing as good as it's ever done. It's doing the best. But I right now, a lot of that cycle, I know I need to work on a lot of our digital marketing stuff that I know to do. I just need to get that badass habits kind of stuff. And not think of it as a fucking drudge to like, get that email blast out, or like work on our online community stuff. Stuff I've been sitting on
28:10
needs to be on autopilot. These things just needs to be more no more negotiating in our own minds about it. Right? Right. That's the thing. And part of that is what I've gotten already out of this is telling myself stop thinking about just go do it. Yeah, that's a that's something I prescribed is just make your body start doing it. And your your body can drag your mind kicking and screaming behind it, or like standing up and just stand up where most stuff you gotta get up to just stand up, start there, and then go like, stop thinking about it. Yeah, but like habits that are just like not really habits when I see like litter on the ground. I'm picking it up again kind of thing. Instead of going and stop thinking about just picking up that piece of trash just pick it up and just make that a thing. Yeah, that was actually I was reading this random thing about a shopping cart theory of the shopping cart. God you know talking about No, but I know where you're going. I think and I have a huge I hurt my ass. Yeah, people who don't return the shopping get the shopping cart theory is that it is the the best indicator of how you contribute to society just because there's no repercussions for not returning your cart. Yeah, but you know what, it's the right thing to do. Right? So barring any like, you know, circumstance, when you have kids, though, that's what's weird is like, if you take if I'm taking my two kids, and the car is parked across the way, and you know, they're older now, so like, it's not a big deal for him to just stay in the car for a second by himself. But when you have a baby, you can't really like throw the baby in there. I didn't go over there. Sure. I know you're responsible. Is it? I'm just saying like, that would be nice. If somebody came at me as a baby in their shop. You know, I could see that out of a mom.

Like a mom, I wouldn't get along with a young mom. I wouldn't a Karen one will. Is that kind of Yeah. Or the one that doesn't return the card? In that situation I could see myself I envision myself fighting with a Karen esque kind of woman. You're the dick who's yelling at her for not returning the cart. I might just give like a smug like face like, Oh, yeah, yeah, I know that face. I do have a hair my ass with that. And I what I did write this down as like, a premise or something. I don't know what to do with it. Maybe it's for this show. Maybe it's for this moment. Who knows? That the new not returning the cart is parking in the pickup grocery area. You know how that now have designated area. I have a pretty hood. Publix near me. Uh huh. That I go to frequently. And occasionally, I'll order stuff ahead, pick it up on the way from work.
30:54
And people just parked there just just go in. And I know they see the site. Like, there's four, there's four spots near the front bright green sign that's like, this is for pickup orders. And people just like, pretend to not see it, or whatever. Or it's like, that's like the new like shitty not a grocery cart. Hmm. We're under the microscope socially at the grocery store. Hmm. Well, it's I mean, it's a communal area. It's a it is a index of your neighborhood. And a lot of ways I guess everybody's got to eat. Right.
31:28
So other one was a little professional was automated lead gen for you know, having my personal brand website. And maybe we'll do something through sweat equity. And by old agency site of just having that be a 10 x ROI of just doing consulting hours as it comes. No huge projects, but anything that comes in as an easy hour or two here and there. Just consulting not doing not getting super involved in anything crazy. Yeah, I would agree with that. But doing something that, you know, hey, I'm gonna charge 186 50 an hour that doesn't work doesn't work. Yeah, I'll find you someone that you. I'll give you some resources. Otherwise, yeah.
32:11
Another one. Alright. So learn how to drive stick and then go to the weekend racing school. I don't know if I've ever talked to you about that. I don't know how to start. I don't know I stick.
32:23
too late for that. Why? I think I don't think you can do it. I can't mentally What? I don't think you can do it. I think I have a good racing vision in a weird way. I do notice that I'm taking a shit on your goals. Like I told everybody, right. I noticed that. But that's specifically why.
32:44
Because it's actually the easiest one. I just thought it'd be funny to say you can't do that one, but go to weight racing school. It's like a weekend thing. It's one of those things I've been thinking about for 10 years. Put it on there just because it just been sitting there lingering. I heard it's awesome. I heard we got a kick ass Daytona weekend. I mean, that's where you go in Florida. I know in Arizona too. That's awesome, too. But apparently you get like, you can do burnouts though you can race on a track. By the end of it. You have real like command for for driving and stuff. And I used to be really good at the souped up go kart racing. humblebrag. Well, when I was little though, my uncle. So my uncle used to build moduses for fun. And my mom always thinks I'm like him because he's creative. He was a movie director, writer, taught film,
33:35
taught film at Texas, in Fort Worth, University of Texas Fort Worth. And then would also do these engineering things like build cars in a very math mine.
33:47
Kind of like clockwork orange director
33:52
goddamnit shining director helped me out here no Eyes Wide Shut. No.
33:58
I'll just look it up. No one wants to hear you rubric Kubrick. So Kubrick was a great creative mind that you see math problems for fun. Yeah, that's hot right now. But a lot of people want to separate that creative already. Art side with. Oh, yeah, nothing is like I always had a weird thing where you felt it felt out of place either or? And it's like, no, they've worked together. Well, they definitely work together. I don't know. It's it's one thing that gives me a little bit of like a, you know, gives you a little chill. I don't really want to do it. Because it's easier not to do it. Yeah. So and it's far away. Yeah, but it's something like I have to plan out. I got to even get a manual transmission car. Just go rent a car and do it. I gotta rent a car for that. No, I've already had friends that are like I'll show you gonna do it. One. Yeah.
34:52
Read 12 books in a year. That's an easy small win. Okay.
34:56
snail mail. 100 handwritten, thank you cards. I used to be
35:00
Good at that sort of doing it again. That's That's easy. That's a gratitude thing. Yeah, that's good. I need to write that down.
35:08
Write 52 blog posts. That's not your one behind me. No. Oh, I don't have to publish them all at once all a week in a row. I've been writing them. Are you gonna be cramming on December 31? No, no, I've written some already. Oh, I haven't pushed them out yet. Because I'd rather have the site up my personal site up then push them in a calculated way. Ah, okay.
35:36
And that goes with like the 10 x ROI Legion thing. So some of these kind of help the other in a way?
35:44
write a book. That one's gonna be the toughest, I think. Sure. Yep. That's hard. But I think long. I've been thinking of strategies I, I've always wanted to write a book like Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey, fiction writers that write about Florida. And they're very, you know,
36:01
has seven different stories going on at once that all kind of talk about you want to write a fiction book, I would down the line, I think, I think to get this to do one, what's, what's kind of the easier when that might be next year or the year after that kind of thing. But to do a book this year,
36:20
it just gets something out. And it might just be I was thinking about the easiest way might be just taking interviews we've had from this show called sweat equity Volume One. People have likes to call it like, yes. Now here's the advice from people smarter than write a book smarter than us. Well, it is still writing a book. Yes. And it'll be published. And you need to be an author and you don't have to do anything. Right now. Look right now. So self published that. It's, it's doable on Amazon. I know so many people now doing that. And we could do that this afternoon. We really want to become authors. Sure.
36:56
And then rewrite, right, you know, jokes for at least 30 450 minutes. I don't know why I came up with that number, but I liked the number 34 because of Bo Jackson. No, I broke it down. I think that's like 20 minutes a day. If I can't write, write or rewrite jokes for that much per day. It's pretty bad. And then stuff for my kids. Kids Learn how to swim this year. Teach Kids how to ride a bike. Yes. Read 200 bedtime stories. And that's it. Those are all bedtime stories. Do not count your book. No, no, no, no. For the record. No. No, I didn't I you know what? I didn't. I didn't even think about that. No, I'd be done by now. If that was it.
37:38
I bought a bunch of kids books. I let one of them both of them. Pick one for me to read. So the girl gets one of the boy gets one. That's what he calls him to. Yeah, like, like they don't wear their name tags all the time. Yeah, they do look a lot alike. Yeah. So but that what do you got? All those next episode name? We'll do next episode. Okay. I remember.
38:04
I set my goal should have something. I have some I got some. I got some specific ones that I don't want to talk about on the podcast. I'll tell you in 30 seconds. That's fine. I've got maybe two that I maybe redacted from the pod. Yeah, I know. I'm saying but I mean, like, Yeah, but are they? Are they Specific, Measurable, Attainable, relevant? Time days? Yes. All right. That's it. All right. What about my sweat equity?
