0:00Today we have eight mindset shifts that
0:02you need to adopt if you want to become
0:04the best version of yourself. And these
0:07are not tactical strategies because what
0:09the best version of you looks like might
0:12be a different road map than for someone
0:13else.
0:14>> But what we're going to talk about
0:15instead is the mindset that you need to
0:18have and the way that you need to think
0:21differently. So these are things that
0:22will apply pretty much to anyone. If
0:24you're trying to become more successful,
0:25you're trying to become the best version
0:27of yourself, maybe a year from now, you
0:29want to look back and you want to become
0:31unrecognizable,
0:32starting with radical ownership. It may
0:34not be your fault, but it absolutely is
0:37your responsibility for everything in
0:39life. And that's a really hard thing for
0:41a lot of people to do because you kind
0:43of want to protect your ego where
0:44obviously it's much easier to point the
0:47blame at everything and everyone but
0:49your own set of actions. But when you
0:51get really honest with yourself and you
0:53say, "Okay, this thing happened to me.
0:55This really hard thing happened. I went
0:58through a hard season of life. I can't
1:01necessarily control that, but I can
1:03control how I respond to it."
1:05>> Yeah. Cuz it's in a sense it's like
1:06dropping that like that victim, you
1:10know, mentality around that stuff and
1:11just being like, "Okay, cool. This
1:13happened." Like Audrey said, regardless
1:15if it is or isn't your fault, it's your
1:17responsibility to take action to get a
1:20different outcome.
1:21>> Yeah.
1:21>> And if you always look at those
1:23circumstances like, oh, these things are
1:25happening to me. Ah, crap, this happened
1:27to me again. Versus like just shifting
1:29that lens and be like, okay, cool. That
1:31happened. It's my responsibility. What
1:33can I learn from it? Regardless if like
1:35I directly
1:37like had something in this that that
1:39happened. I can still take ownership
1:40over the next decision I make to create
1:43a different outcome around that.
1:44>> Yeah. I think there's like this common
1:46notion for some people that they believe
1:50people who are successful are successful
1:51because they've had less bad things
1:53happen to them or maybe they've had it
1:55significantly easier. But the thing is
1:58first one, what does believing that
2:00actually do for you? Does it actually
2:01help you? I don't think so. But if
2:03instead you look at people that are
2:05successful and you say, you know what,
2:07they've probably had some pretty bad
2:09things happen to them as well and
2:10they've experienced hard seasons, but
2:13maybe instead they just chose to do good
2:15with it. And so successful people aren't
2:17successful because they've had less bad
2:19things happen to them. They're
2:20successful in spite of that. They're
2:21successful because what they choose to
2:23do with the bad things that have
2:25happened and they turn it into learning
2:26lessons. They let it u they let it be
2:29something that they can grow from and
2:31evolve from. Absolutely.
2:32>> The next thing is accept that what you
2:34are not changing you are choosing.
2:37>> This is so difficult for a lot of people
2:40to sit with. And again you can go into
2:41the victim mindset and you can say well
2:44>> again this thing happened to me and I
2:47didn't I didn't choose that. Okay sure
2:49but you are still choosing how you
2:51respond to it.
2:52>> Y
2:52>> so it kind of goes handinhand with
2:55taking radical ownership. But if you
2:58currently don't like the outcomes in
2:59your life, then look back at your
3:02choices and say, you know what, maybe
3:03I'm here because of my actions,
3:06>> right? It's like being [clears throat]
3:08in a in a in a relationship that isn't
3:10just good for you. Right? It's like, oh
3:12my god, my boyfriend did this again. He
3:15keeps forgetting this. He, you know,
3:17doesn't treat me the right way. And it's
3:19like if you're not choosing to like
3:22either correct that behavior or stand up
3:24and say something about it or get out of
3:27that relationship, you are choosing to
3:29just live inside of those circumstances.
3:31So very easy example to look at there.
3:33It's like
3:34>> and then you look at how where am I
3:35doing that in other areas of my life or
3:37maybe I'm just like complaining about
3:38something that's happening that I don't
3:39like.
3:40>> Yeah. but I'm not actually putting in
3:41the work or, you know, having the hard
3:43conversation or doing the hard thing to
3:46actually start to shift that narrative
3:47and get the outcome that I want.
3:49>> Yeah. And and look, there's nothing
3:51wrong with venting from time to time, of
3:53course,
3:53>> but you never want to be around someone
3:54who is constantly complaining about the
3:56same things over and over, but they're
3:58doing nothing different to change their
4:00circumstances.
4:01>> Mhm.
4:02>> The third thing is daily deposits. I
4:04know in the self-improvement world,
4:06everyone talks about look at where you
4:08want to be a year from now. look at
4:10where you want to be five years from
4:11now. And yes, I think it's great to have
4:12a general idea of what those big goals
4:15are and who you want to become because
4:16then you can reverse engineer it. But
4:18the problem is sometimes I think that it
4:20feels like such a big mountain to climb
4:21that people avoid taking the first step
4:24because there's a million steps that you
4:26need to take between now and where you
4:28want to be a year from now. But just
4:29focus on the only thing that you can
4:31control which is the day in front of
4:33you. And so at the end of every day if
4:35you can say today I got better. Today I
4:38got even 1% better. And even if it was a
4:41day that didn't go my way, did I show up
4:43in a way that was in alignment with who
4:45I want to become? Right.
4:46>> If you can say that at the end of the
4:48day, then you can look back a year from
4:49now and know that you got better and
4:51that you did everything in your power to
4:53become unrecognizable and reach your
4:55goals.
4:55>> Exactly. And those daily daily deposits
4:58just from like a simple fitness sense,
4:59like did you, you know, get your step
5:01goal in today? Right. Did you eat the
5:03quality meals you said you were going to
5:04eat? Did you get the training session in
5:07today? If you had it on your on your
5:08schedule and on your calendar, it's
5:10like, did you do those little things?
5:11Because it's good to have the the
5:13year-long goal of having this lean,
5:15toned, amazing body, but did you just
5:17take that one step today? The simple
5:20step. It's the little thing. And if you
5:21can make those deposits, it just
5:22compounds.
5:23>> They Yeah, they compound over time. And
5:25I think the biggest thing, too, is if
5:28you didn't do it that day, don't shame
5:30yourself. Don't spiral. Don't allow that
5:32to be the thing that completely sets you
5:34back and gets you off track. Let it be a
5:37learning lesson. Again, at the end of
5:38the day, okay, I didn't hit my macros
5:42today. Why didn't you hit your macros?
5:43How can I show up differently tomorrow
5:45to make sure that I actually do?
5:47>> Find the big pawns. If you right now
5:51have a vision that is larger than anyone
5:54that you know in your life, sometimes
5:56that vision, you might question if it's
5:58too big, if it's unrealistic. But if you
6:02get into the big ponds where you are the
6:04small fish where your vision is step one
6:07in their vision, it's like this is so
6:10achievable, right? You need to be around
6:12people who make your goals almost feel
6:15small. Not in a way that like belittles
6:17your goals, but in a way that makes it
6:19seem like, oh, of course I can
6:21accomplish that. Because if they did,
6:23and you realize this is something that
6:24we talk about all the time. You know,
6:26sometimes you see people that have done
6:28really big things in life and you assume
6:31that like maybe they have something that
6:32I don't have, right? And it feels not
6:36achievable, but then once you get around
6:39those people, you realize that
6:41>> they're not all that different. And like
6:43in the best way possible, they're not
6:45necessarily special.
6:47>> Exactly.
6:47>> You know what I mean? And so every time
6:49we've gotten into a bigger room where we
6:51once looked up to those people, maybe we
6:53still do, right? Respect the hell out of
6:55them.
6:56um you really start to see that it's
6:58just a a few different set of actions
7:00that they took maybe differently that
7:02you can also take to get to where they
7:04are as well in your own way
7:06>> because it pulls you forward and it
7:08lights a fire underneath you because the
7:10inverse effect happens when you're
7:13around those ponds or in those ponds
7:15where people aren't as ambitious or
7:18maybe your ambition matches the same
7:21ambition of everybody else but it's not
7:24ideally where you want to But you're
7:25still not being called or pushed to do
7:27more cuz like you feel like, you know,
7:28I'm kind of capped out. Everyone arounds
7:30me, we're all doing the same. It's kind
7:31of okay here. But in the back of your
7:33mind, you're like, but I do want that.
7:36And soon as you enter into these bigger
7:38ponds, bigger rooms, better environments
7:40of individuals that are 1 2 3 10 steps
7:43ahead, it just immediately like calls
7:46you to be like, "Okay, cool. Now it's
7:49like now you can feel the pull." Because
7:51every time you get into those bigger
7:52ponds, you feel like kind of the pull up
7:54towards the top of the room, right? The
7:57top of the environment. And you want to
7:59have that because, you know, not to say
8:01that it's like a motivating factor, but
8:03like it kind of plays into it a little
8:04bit where it's like I want to actually
8:07step it up because I'm seeing other
8:08people that are doing better. And like
8:10if there's a little bit of
8:10competitiveness in you and all that
8:12stuff, that's good. That's good stuff to
8:14actually, you know, propel you forward
8:16because it's easy to get complacent.
8:18when you're in the room that is all
8:20acting complacent.
8:21>> Yeah, I think there's a good level of
8:24healthy competition that you want and a
8:25good level of pressure that will help to
8:29to drive you forward. But again, it
8:31makes me think of how
8:32>> when there is one moldy piece of fruit
8:35in the little container, then the rest
8:38of the fruit starts to mold.
8:40>> It's about who you are around. And so if
8:42right now you're really like questioning
8:45things or especially if things feel
8:48really really hard
8:50>> and you're not around people that are
8:52also doing the really really hard thing,
8:54it can feel very lonely as well. And
8:56maybe you start to think like oh it's
8:58just too hard or like you know oh maybe
9:00I shouldn't be doing this thing and and
9:02you want to just like kind of coast and
9:04be okay with good enough because
9:06everyone else is okay with good enough.
9:07But you want to be around people that
9:09are constantly pushing the boundaries of
9:10what's possible.
9:11>> Yeah. Because both things are
9:12contagious. It'll be contagious for that
9:14like um you know the moldy fruit
9:17example. It's contagious for the rest of
9:19the the pack to spoil, right? Same thing
9:21if you're around people that aren't as
9:23ambitious as contagious in that
9:25direction as is contagious in the other
9:27direction.
9:27>> Yeah. And you'll have different groups
9:29in your life like not there's never
9:31going to be one friend group that is
9:33going to fulfill all of your needs. I
9:35found or one let's say like um coaching
9:38cohort or mastermind that is going to
9:40fulfill all of your needs. That's why we
9:42have different mentorships. That's why
9:43we have different you know uh groups of
9:46friends like some friends they've known
9:48you from the start and like you guys
9:49have grown in different directions and
9:51you still love and value their
9:53friendship but maybe they're not
9:54necessarily there to push and and really
9:58help you evolve and that's okay. Like
10:00you need those people in your life. But
10:01if you don't have the people in your
10:03life that do challenge you and do push
10:06you to grow, then you need to find that
10:07big pond.
10:10>> Doing the hard things consistently.
10:12Nothing will boost your confidence more
10:14than this. When you do something that
10:16you said you would, the thing that is
10:19inconvenient, the thing that is just
10:21like so grueling and daunting, when you
10:24consistently do those things, you start
10:27taking your own [snorts] word more
10:28seriously. And one thing that I always
10:30say is like if you want to be taken more
10:32seriously, you have to start taking
10:34yourself more seriously because people
10:35will start to respect you only to the
10:37level that you really respect yourself
10:39and the way that you show up for
10:40yourself. So the more that you
10:43consistently do those things, the more
10:44that you will build more selfrust
10:47because you have stacked the evidence
10:49that your word actually means something.
10:51>> Mhm.
10:52>> Completing a big goal that [snorts] 2 to
10:553 years ago seemed very steep or near
11:00impossible. There's something called the
11:02misogi.
11:03>> Misogi. Yes. It's a uh it's a Japanese
11:05term of of essentially completing
11:08something that is
11:10>> like it's a it's a year goal, right? So,
11:12but it's it's ambitious like a misogi
11:15would be a marathon for some people. For
11:17others, it's an iron man. For others,
11:19it's it's like jumping into the piano
11:22and then learning some very um melodic
11:26song by the end of the year.
11:27>> And it's like it's something that you're
11:29training for, you're putting in time for
11:30each and every single day. Like that's a
11:32really big goal. Um, and I think what
11:35that does for you doing something of
11:37that stature is it really just expands
11:40your self-belief around a lot of stuff.
11:42Cuz
11:42>> for Audrey and I, I'd look back, you
11:44know,
11:44>> two, three, six years ago,
11:47>> it's it's hard to imagine, you know,
11:50being in the position we are now, like
11:52at that point in time, right? You can
11:54think about it, you can set the goal,
11:55but until you actually start to put
11:58forth the efforts, the daily deposits
12:00and then you get there and then boom, it
12:02opens the door,
12:03>> opens a new world of possibility.
12:05>> Yeah. And I think people always say you
12:07need to have
12:08>> uh delusional self-belief like you need
12:10to believe in yourself so much, but if
12:12your track record is that you never
12:14follow through with things, it's really
12:16hard to believe in yourself and no
12:18amount of affirmations is going to fix
12:19that. So, you really have to start and
12:21sometimes it's just a matter of starting
12:23small, right? Like you said that you
12:24were going to go to the gym today and
12:26you go to the gym today and then you
12:27stack that and you stack it and then you
12:29keep setting larger goals. But once you
12:32accomplish one big goal, like for me,
12:34what really opened up the door was
12:36competing. And that's one of the reasons
12:38why I still have such a a love for
12:41bodybuilding because I was forced to
12:45evolve so much and there it required so
12:48much of me for nine months that I was
12:50competing or prepping, sorry. For the
12:52nine months of my competition prep,
12:55there was no slacking off. There was no
12:57halfassing it. At the end of the day, I
12:59was going to be stepping on stage. And
13:01the package that I brought to the stage
13:04was the compound effect of the way that
13:07I showed up every single day. And
13:09[snorts] so accomplishing that goal of I
13:11said I was going to compete and I
13:13competed and it took a lot out of me
13:15created a level of self-belief that
13:17opened up the door of possibilities of
13:19what else can I accomplish in my life
13:21>> and I believed that I could because I
13:23did something really really hard that
13:26maybe at the beginning I questioned
13:29whether I could do it. And there were
13:30absolutely times that I wanted to give
13:31up, but I didn't. Right? And so when you
13:33go into another big goal that you set
13:35after accomplishing another one, you
13:37know that there's going to be
13:38challenges. You expect the unexpected.
13:41And because of that, you're prepared.
13:43Your mindset is prepared. And so if you
13:45just set the big goal and then you start
13:48setting other big goals, next thing you
13:49know, the goals that you're setting two
13:51years from now isn't even something that
13:53you could have comprehended or wrapped
13:54your mind around a few years ago. So you
13:58have to follow through with at least one
14:00big goal even if it's a misogi even if
14:02it's just one a year because the doors
14:05will start opening the possibilities
14:07will start opening and you'll have this
14:09mindset of everything is figure outable
14:12like I may not trust that it's going to
14:14work out in my favor but I do trust that
14:16I am going to do everything in my power
14:19to make it work like sometimes you don't
14:22know whether it's going to work or not
14:23but you know that you're going to do the
14:24work and if you at least have the faith
14:27in that and you have the confidence in
14:29yourself, then you can kind of trust
14:30that like it's going to work out.
14:32>> I love it.
14:33>> But you need the evidence.
14:34>> I love it. And into our next one is
14:37saying no more often and decreasing your
14:40tolerance with yourself.
14:43So, you know, we've experienced a lot of
14:46this, you know, more recently in the
14:47last year, two years as like things
14:50begin to expand. You have to you have to
14:53be able to
14:55discern between what things I might have
14:58been able to get away with a couple
15:00years ago when I had less
15:01responsibilities or I was less ambitious
15:03or I didn't have as much going on as
15:06comparative to now. And that's been
15:08something we've been kind of stepping
15:09through, but we realize it's such an
15:10important aspect, right? Um, not to say
15:13that like you need to cut everything out
15:15and eliminate all the stuff, but you
15:16really have to wind down on things that
15:19are deterring you from getting where you
15:22want to get to. And also at the same
15:24time is like you know do I have a
15:26tolerance for you know having just I
15:29don't know maybe mediocre people around
15:31me that aren't super ambitious or don't
15:34really respect my work or like that I
15:36work really want to work really hard or
15:38that I want to do all these things and
15:39that I want to put in more effort.
15:40>> So it's really kind of navigating and
15:42understanding that and I think everyone
15:44has to go through that on their own but
15:46I think it's important to know early on
15:48so you can kind of get the feeling when
15:51it comes around.
15:52>> Yeah. Cuz it's almost like if you're not
15:54doing it at certain stages, you can feel
15:57that like that disappointment in
15:59yourself that you'll get the the guilt
16:01that you feel like should have like not
16:04done that thing or why have I been
16:06dragging this out for 3 months. I should
16:07have, you know, made this decision
16:09months ago to like um put myself in a
16:11better position because I've been like
16:13dealing with this one thing that could
16:14have been avoided. So, it's it's really
16:17those things and it's hard to, you know,
16:18put it on one thing because everybody's
16:20everybody's going to have different
16:22circumstances for what they're
16:23experiencing, but just knowing that like
16:25having to say no, decreasing your
16:28tolerance for the BS going on around you
16:30is what you really have to start to
16:33figure out because if you don't, that's
16:36kind of one of the bigger things that
16:37could keep you spinning your wheels for
16:38a heck of a lot longer than you probably
16:40would want to.
16:41>> And I would say it's probably one of the
16:42hardest ones. Like this is still
16:44something that we struggle with these
16:46other things. As I'm reading them out
16:47loud, I'm like, "Yeah, we kind of have a
16:49down path." But it's also one of those
16:50things that you don't just check the box
16:52and now you're done. It's a constant
16:53evolution because every there there's a
16:56new devil at every level, right? And so
16:58when you get to that next version of
17:00yourself with larger goals and bigger
17:02ambitions, you'll realize that there's a
17:04new set of sacrifices that exist there.
17:07And there was a time where we could get
17:09away with going to a three-day music
17:11festival, stepping away from our team
17:14and messages and all the things. And it
17:16was okay. We would just get back on
17:18Monday and we get back right to it.
17:20>> Now, us going to a 3-day music festival
17:23where we're staying up until the sun
17:25comes up and, you know, we're not
17:27feeling our best coming back. We almost
17:29can't really sacrifice that these days.
17:31And that's okay, right? Y
17:33>> that's okay because the outcome that we
17:35want is more important to us and more of
17:38a priority than that three-day music
17:40festival. Now obviously we still
17:42prioritize fun and travel but it just
17:44looks different these days. Like there's
17:46not necessarily travel without work,
17:48right? Or again if like you're working
17:50towards improving your body composition,
17:52you might have to have a season where
17:55you are stricter with yourself. And
17:57that's kind of all of what this one
17:59comes back to is like you have to be
18:01strict with yourself, right? And if you
18:04are not only tolerating mediocrity from
18:07yourself, but also from your
18:09environment, the people around you, if
18:11you manage a team, the people on your
18:13team, then like nothing changes if
18:15nothing changes. And so you kind of have
18:18to like one of one of the ways to put
18:20this actually if you were if an audience
18:24was watching a movie of your life, what
18:26would they be screaming at you? And
18:28whatever first comes to mind is probably
18:30the thing that needs your attention the
18:32most and the thing that needs to be
18:33changed, right? Maybe for you it's like
18:35get off your damn phone. Maybe you're
18:37spending too much time doom scrolling
18:39and you could be spending that time
18:40working towards something that you want
18:42to accomplish. Right? So there's things
18:45in your life that immediately you can
18:48probably think of. Like even for us,
18:49there's things in my life where
18:50immediately I'm like, you know, we're
18:53getting to a point where I do think that
18:55that thing is potentially holding me
18:57back. For example, I'll be vulnerable.
18:59There's times where like we go out to a
19:01dinner and I had maybe like two
19:04cocktails and then I wake up the next
19:05morning and I don't feel so great and
19:07I'm like that wasn't even worth it. But
19:09I sometimes still consistently do it,
19:11right? And then at some point you just
19:13get to a point where like you have to
19:14stop tolerating that from yourself and
19:16you have to get stricter with yourself
19:18or otherwise again nothing is going to
19:19change.
19:20>> Mhm.
19:20>> And that goes handinhand with having
19:23seasons of going allin
19:26like you have seasons where you're kind
19:28of maintaining and I think those seasons
19:30are also important. Those are seasons
19:32where maybe your focus is shifted like
19:36you know maybe you you are a new mom
19:38right and so that season is you are
19:41giving your all to like postpartum and
19:43navigating the challenges that come with
19:45that but also you know being as present
19:47as possible with your newborn like
19:49that's a different season than maybe
19:50what it was two years ago. Yeah. But
19:52when you know you are working towards
19:55something really big, you can't just dip
19:57a toe in, right? Like you do have to go
20:00allin and there's going to be a form of
20:02restriction that comes with that. I
20:05think that restriction gets a really bad
20:06rep.
20:07>> It does. Yeah. Because I mean if you
20:09don't have these, it's it's like if if
20:12your results up until this point haven't
20:13been to the point that you want, right?
20:15If you're really trying to get this
20:16outcome, you have to think like you've
20:18probably been half in, half out. and you
20:20know that got you to a certain point
20:22where maybe you have a little bit of
20:23some balance on both sides of the
20:25spectrum and you're able to do some of
20:27this and do some of that. But like most
20:30the time if you're really wanting to be
20:32ambitious about getting to certain
20:35heights and certain places where only a
20:38select few of people really get to from
20:40a percentage standpoint. It's going to
20:42require you to do more that's required
20:46and cut out some of that excess in order
20:49to become that elite version of
20:51yourself.
20:51>> Yeah.
20:52>> And it it kind of takes going through
20:54that too to kind of see it. And then
20:56once you once it's really
20:57[clears throat] clear, it's like, okay,
20:59you're going to be at a crossroads
21:00crossroads and you're going to have a
21:01choice of, you know, do I really, you
21:05know, commit to the Indian here and, you
21:08know,
21:09really dig in, sink my teeth all the way
21:12in and just freaking go for it.
21:13>> Yeah.
21:14>> Or do I continue to to live in the La La
21:17Land of like good enough?
21:19>> Yeah.
21:19>> Right. So, it's like if you really want
21:21to, you know, have the really ambitious
21:24goal and and do it to the to the max, do
21:27it to the the 10th degree, you have to
21:30be willing to say, "Okay, let's freaking
21:33lock in here. Let's really go all the
21:35way and let's push all this stuff to the
21:37wayside because this is more important
21:40to me than kind of having some of that."
21:42>> Yeah. And we've talked about this
21:43before, but like if you want what most
21:45people don't have, you have to be
21:47willing to do what most people aren't
21:49willing to do. You want an above average
21:51lifestyle doing average right?
21:53That's that's it at the end of the day.
21:55That's all that we're saying here is
21:57like,
21:58>> you know, above average things or having
22:02outcomes in your life that a lot of
22:03people maybe don't have because it's
22:05it's at the top of the mountain. There's
22:07restriction that comes with that and
22:09that is not a bad thing because the
22:11opposite of not having restriction kind
22:13of just means that you are coasting and
22:16it's comfortable but you you have to get
22:17uncomfortable and you have to have those
22:19those uh strategic restrictions. And the
22:22thing is like you know if you have
22:24something that you really desire in your
22:26life if you're not willing to do what it
22:27takes to get to that thing that you're
22:29desiring then simply release yourself
22:31from the desire. That's it. So these are
22:34things that if you apply to your life
22:37and you start thinking in these ways and
22:39you accept that this is what has to
22:43happen, right? Like things have to
22:45change. Again, you can look back a year
22:47from now and realize that you are an
22:50entirely different person with a new set
22:52of beliefs. It's not easy. It's not
22:54comfortable, but it is absolutely
22:57necessary.
22:58>> Love it.
22:59>> Thank you guys for tuning in. We'll see
23:01you guys in the next episode.
