How To Increase Your Health, Wealth, & Love.

How To Achieve The Mindset Makeover

We're joined by none other than Kevin Palmieri, the visionary behind Next Level University, and let me tell you, it's an episode full with wisdom and actionable insights that could very well change your life.

Kevin is not just another motivational speaker; he lives by the philosophy that life is about mastering the art of juggling—health, wealth, and love—rather than chasing an unattainable balance.

One of the main ideas Kevin drops is the importance of measurement. It's about acknowledging and growing from every aspect of life.

But how do you foster this growth?

Kevin stresses the power of community. He encourages stepping out of your comfort zone to find like-minded individuals who support and challenge you. From joining Facebook groups to attending live events, building your network is a game-changer for personal development.

The journey to aligning your daily grind with your grandest dreams is a strategic one. Kevin breaks it down from setting five-year visions to establishing daily habits that inch you closer to your goals. And yes, consistency is key; it's the golden thread that weaves through the tapestry of success.

Facing our fears, embracing vulnerability, and connecting with our spirit—Kevin's advice navigates these terrains with grace, offering a roadmap to a life of fulfillment that transcends material success. It's about finding joy in the journey and meaning in the milestones.

Enjoy!

[00:00:00] Entertainment Insights Don't Take Life Too Seriously. Welcome to Brainsky Unleashed.

[00:00:10] Hello everyone, welcome to Brainsky Unleashed. Today we have Kevin Palmeri joining us.

[00:00:17] Kevin Palmeri has a podcast, he is a founder of next level university and when I say this

[00:00:23] man is a podcast, he only has about 900,000 listeners across 160 countries. So very well respected,

[00:00:31] very well known and this is the kind of guy that spends his time helping people. And here we are

[00:00:36] in the season of giving and my gift to you ladies and gentlemen is Kevin Palmeri. So Kevin,

[00:00:42] welcome. Thomas, thank you so very much for having me. I appreciate it. I appreciate the time

[00:00:47] and I'm excited to see where we go with our conversation. Absolutely. And with an intro like that,

[00:00:51] you just can't fail. Well usually what I say is hopefully I can live up to the introduction

[00:00:56] and the reputation you've created for me. Yes, well hopefully we can. So let's just jump right into it.

[00:01:03] You work with people that you try and get them to reset their minds because everything in life

[00:01:09] if you're going to be successful is mainly attitude based, right? That's a big part attitude,

[00:01:13] behavior, mindset. But even the first step is let's help you figure out what is success for you.

[00:01:20] One of the hardest parts of the self-improvement space and just I mean any space but self-improvement in

[00:01:26] general is you're giving a very specific piece of advice to a wide web of humans and not everybody

[00:01:35] wants to be a millionaire. Not everybody wants to be married with children, not everybody wants

[00:01:41] to be an entrepreneur. So step one is usually if nobody was going to judge this and nobody was

[00:01:47] ever going to see what your own unique version of success looked like, right down with that would

[00:01:51] actually look like. And let's talk about that because I don't know what's worse Thomas thinking

[00:01:57] that you want to result and never getting it or thinking you want to result getting it and then

[00:02:01] realizing you didn't want the result in the first place. Interesting. You know, I don't normally

[00:02:06] I don't normally look at things that way. And so if I don't I mean clearly I'm the most normal

[00:02:11] individual there is on earth but if I'm not normally seeing it that way, there's at least a high

[00:02:16] probability that others aren't. And you know I've been through plenty of you know, self-help things,

[00:02:22] you know, you tell your robins is your you know, your speakers, your books, your all this other stuff.

[00:02:27] But that's a really interesting perspective is really getting down to what you might really want

[00:02:33] versus what you think you really want. So how do we do that? Give me an example like what does

[00:02:38] that look like? Let's just say I'm sitting there I'm on your couch in your studio that you probably

[00:02:42] don't have. And and you know I come to you and I say, I want things I have a desire can you help

[00:02:51] me what does this look like? Usually so this is what people it starts with this these are the results

[00:02:57] I want awesome. I love that. That's that's the the 10,000 30,000 50,000 foot few amazing. Yeah tell

[00:03:04] me what your day looks like though. That's what I want. I care more about what is the day to day

[00:03:10] looking like for you. And here's here's an example why I was working with someone one time and he

[00:03:15] said, I want to do exactly what you guys are doing. And I said, okay. And he said but eventually I

[00:03:22] want to get to the place that you guys want to get to the top of the top in the self-improvement space.

[00:03:25] Awesome. That's our goal. And I said, well let me check on your day to day on a scale of zero to 10

[00:03:32] how much do you think you'll value and how important do you think it'll be to you to get your kids off

[00:03:39] the bus. And he said, oh 10 out of 10. That's all right. What about going to their sporting events

[00:03:44] and that type of stuff? Parent teacher conference all that. He said 10 out of 10. Of course. I mean you

[00:03:49] had you don't want to sound like an A-hole by going, ah, you know what I want to outsource the kids

[00:03:52] getting off the right, right, right. But but I and I know this person. So for him this was this was

[00:03:56] real. He's a family man at heart. And I said, do you think that the life and the results that

[00:04:02] you're giving me are in alignment or are not going to work with the lifestyle that you want to live.

[00:04:10] And after that conversation digging deeper and deeper we got to the point where he said, you know

[00:04:15] what? That probably isn't it for me. So usually what I like to do is say core values core beliefs

[00:04:22] and core aspirations. If your core beliefs, your core values and your core aspirations are misaligned.

[00:04:29] It's usually if your core values and your core beliefs are misaligned with your aspirations.

[00:04:34] That's where we get in trouble. Asperations are what we want, right? Values are who we are,

[00:04:40] beliefs are what we believe. If those are in alignment you're usually in a better spot. So yeah,

[00:04:45] what is your day-to-day life look like and what really matters to you and what do you value not what

[00:04:50] do you want the results of your life to be. Right. So that's interesting. So then from there,

[00:04:56] are you going to suggest chunking it down to certain hours per day or certain tasks that need to be

[00:05:02] done? Yeah. So we tend to do like five years out, then we'll do a year out, then we'll do a quarter

[00:05:09] out and then the quarter out leads to these are the habits that you should probably be practicing

[00:05:14] every day. Okay. So you're working essentially with a giant goal setting exercise while trying

[00:05:20] to maintain reality. The reality of being, you know, you may say you want this but does it actually

[00:05:28] align with who you are and where you belong? Well, you know, if if your priorities are as you said,

[00:05:33] getting the kids off the bus watching the soccer games, making the cookies, making the lunches,

[00:05:37] you know, all this other stuff. Well, if you don't have time to dedicate to the project that you

[00:05:43] say you want, yeah, stop there. Yeah. And then so one of their habits might be spend two hours

[00:05:50] a day with the family. But for me, so this is a really good way to look at it. Last year, I think I

[00:05:57] went on like 600 other podcasts, but I'm the best. You're the best. Well, you're you're,

[00:06:02] you're this year. So you'll run this year's award number one, 2022, yes, yes. And coming to the end

[00:06:09] of the year, too. So I have a lot of I have a lot of reps to put you. I mean, I look forward to

[00:06:13] speaking to you again on January 2nd. So that way I could ring 2024 as well. Well, yeah,

[00:06:19] you'll get it early. Right. I mean, I'm a winner. Yeah. 100%. 100%. So the reason I the reason I put

[00:06:25] that in there is because my goal is to be the best podcast or possible. Other people shouldn't

[00:06:31] be on that many shows because it doesn't serve their purpose. Right. It just isn't what they should

[00:06:35] be doing because it's not what they value. If your day to day can make up the weeks, the make up

[00:06:42] the months and make up the years that will ultimately lead you to the version of success that you want,

[00:06:46] that is that is really what we're playing for. And then another unique approach that we try to take

[00:06:51] is we try to break it up into health, wealth and love. Health, wake up and weigh yourself and track

[00:06:57] your calories and drink enough water and exercise for 30 minutes. Well, track your finances, learn

[00:07:02] every single day, make connections with business potential, whatever it is. And then love if you have

[00:07:06] a family, I want you to spend the amount of time with your family that is aligned for you.

[00:07:12] And if you can do those things, there is no more sustainable life when you're doing the things

[00:07:17] that actually fulfill you as a human and bring you closer to the goals that you have determined are

[00:07:21] most aligned. So basically what you're saying is that you're helping people balance their lives

[00:07:27] through goal setting, through planning, through time management. So these are tools and the tool

[00:07:33] chests that you're using that most of us completely ignore that are actually sitting there right at

[00:07:37] our fingertips. I like the word juggling instead of balance because it is a juggle. It really is.

[00:07:44] Yeah. Yeah. Depending on the season right now is a heavy business season. So I'm going to the gym

[00:07:50] every other day where six months ago I was going to the gym seven times a week and business was

[00:07:54] different. But yeah, it's if you think about somebody who's growing a business they focus on certain

[00:08:00] numbers. But for some reason the second we leave the office and we go home, we don't look at numbers

[00:08:05] anymore. It's just like well, yeah my relationships okay, my body is okay. I don't really I don't

[00:08:10] really know what I'm doing. It's just take the numbers that you're tracking and bring them home with

[00:08:14] you and then put them into your love life and put them into your your health as well. So break down

[00:08:20] from the numbering of love life. Like what what's an example of numbering a love life? I mean,

[00:08:27] you can number a gym. I do X amount of reps. You know, you can number a business. I bring an X amount

[00:08:32] of revenue or sell X amount of widgets who are make X amount of phone calls. Numbering a love life,

[00:08:38] five hug my wife how many times a day like what is that? What does that look like? You know,

[00:08:43] I've packed my kids on the back and it's my dog and yeah again. So even that I hug my wife X amount

[00:08:49] of times a day that could be it. I have X amount of meaningful moments with my partner per day.

[00:08:55] My wife and I have something called the gratitude game where every night before we go to bed,

[00:08:58] we say one thing we're great before about one another and you just check it off. Did that yesterday

[00:09:03] did that the next day blah blah blah blah blah. That's a really good one. For some people it might

[00:09:08] be a weekly adventure. It might not be a daily check mark. It might be every week because maybe

[00:09:14] hypothetically your partner values fun unique experiences more than you do. So you want to make

[00:09:19] sure that your partner is getting their cup filled because you realize that your cup and their

[00:09:24] cup are just a little bit different. Right. I just think it's more about the measurement. What can we

[00:09:29] start measuring? Can we just say okay, we're going to do every day. We're going to try to have a

[00:09:33] mindful moment together where we turn off the pressure of the world and we just hug.

[00:09:39] Check it off when we get to the point where we've done that every day for a week.

[00:09:44] Maybe we'll start to see some level of deeper connections, some level of result. Okay, cool.

[00:09:48] Then maybe we can say all right, now that we have that down to a sustainable practice,

[00:09:52] what can we add to it? Maybe it's a weekly trip. Maybe it's I love having me nights where my wife does

[00:10:00] her thing and I do my thing. That's something that we're measuring now. Okay, I need a ween a me night.

[00:10:04] You need a me night awesome. Right. So it's very custom to the person but even the meaningful moments

[00:10:09] that you said yeah, you could start off with a minute of hugs a day. Oh see, you know, I kind of

[00:10:13] like where you're going. It's a little bit different than your typical run of the mill

[00:10:18] advice column, advice session that you know well, you know, but set goals follow goals, check on

[00:10:25] goals measure goals, write more goals. Yeah. So let's then talk about your success rating

[00:10:32] not just with yourself, but other people. I mean, you know, do you have any examples of

[00:10:37] success stories and what does that look like? In terms of success stories in terms of what?

[00:10:42] People you've helped. You know, no one, no one people that you've just made massive differences

[00:10:47] in or even you just, you know, good, different, you know, remarkable differences in their life.

[00:10:56] Yeah, so for us it's kind of the stuff behind the scenes that you'll never see because you might not

[00:11:01] know the person but just as an example, we have someone on our team. So this is someone that works

[00:11:06] with us every single day and we're a self-improvement company. So our goal is to help the team as much

[00:11:10] as anyone else. And we have several people who have exercised every single day for over a year.

[00:11:16] So one of our team members did miles from mindset and he ran a mile every single day for like 400

[00:11:23] days straight. Rain, snow, sleet, hail, it doesn't matter. He's very disciplined but he just needed

[00:11:30] a little bit of extra direction. Yeah. Somebody else on the team who had a really, really negative

[00:11:35] relationship with their body to the point where they call, they at one point called it a broken piece

[00:11:39] of garbage. Wow. And they didn't think they could exercise at all. They didn't think they could

[00:11:44] pour into their own unique self-love and they've exercised every day for over a year.

[00:11:49] Those are just simple examples of when you have the right people around you, positive people,

[00:11:54] really, they don't have to be coaches, they don't have to be people into self-improvement like us

[00:11:58] but positive people. That's one step. When you have people who put wings, what wind into your wings

[00:12:04] and wind into your sales, that's another huge thing. The necessity, okay there's other people doing

[00:12:10] what I'm doing. I want to make sure I don't let the team down. That's a huge thing.

[00:12:14] The accountability of having other people around watching what you do, that's a huge thing.

[00:12:19] One of my favorite things I've ever done, Thomas, I went to the mall with a listener of our podcast.

[00:12:25] She reached out to me and said, I'm terrified to start conversations with strangers. I always feel

[00:12:29] like I'm an outsider in these conversations and I don't know, I just kind of want to take control

[00:12:34] my life. All right cool. So we went to the mall and I said by the end of today, my goal is to have

[00:12:39] you talking to strangers and starting conversations with strangers and doing the stuff that you just

[00:12:43] didn't believe was possible for you. So we meet, hug it out. First of all don't meet strangers at

[00:12:49] the mall. It's the first thing I said to this person. We know each other so it's good but we went

[00:12:53] into this store and I said all I want you to do is start by asking them how much all of these things

[00:12:57] are and she said there's no way. There's no way. I said they are going to be bored. They want to talk

[00:13:03] to you. It's going to make their day. Just borrow my belief and do that. That went well. We went to

[00:13:08] another store. We went to another store. We went to another store and by the time we were getting

[00:13:12] ready to leave that day for some reason there were these mechanical zoo animals with wheels that

[00:13:18] you can rent. Yeah, I've seen these. Have you seen those? Hey, where is this? It's a New Hampshire.

[00:13:23] Oh, okay. I saw them in New Jersey recently at the American mall or whatever it's called

[00:13:28] the big business. Yeah, I tell you what I wanted to get on those things. Well, this person said if

[00:13:33] we were really brave, we would rent those and ride those around the mall. That's strange. Come on.

[00:13:37] It was I didn't want to do it at all. I didn't want to do it. What? But I have a video on my phone of

[00:13:42] us riding these things around the mall and I show this when I when I do speaking engagements.

[00:13:49] After this person ended up going back to college even though they've been told they were too stupid.

[00:13:53] They got a 3.9 GPA so I think they did just fine. Nice. They ended up coming on our team

[00:13:59] and worked with us for several years. Then they ended up moving from a small town in Rhode

[00:14:03] Islands to Nashville chasing their dreams. They got the job of their dreams and now they have a home

[00:14:08] out there. That was just one conversation, one bout of fear chasing, one day of action that they

[00:14:16] might not have taken if somebody wasn't helping them or guiding them to do it. That's always my

[00:14:20] favorite success story. I did that. That's fantastic. You got to ride those silly little animals.

[00:14:25] I'm telling you, they're pretty quick. They look like it. I saw a bunch of kids on it and

[00:14:31] I really wanted to ride it but what kind of guy would I be if I ran up to a kid and threw them off

[00:14:36] the thing that I could ride it? It might not look so good. Not that I care. I guess I care a little

[00:14:41] bit. You've obviously helped a lot of people. You communicate with people every single day.

[00:14:49] Somewhere you can probably pull an estimated statistic out of your head or an estimated idea.

[00:15:00] What is people in general, the biggest fear that people suffer from that hold them back?

[00:15:08] Failure, rejection and judgment. Those are the three. You've got an audience that is listening.

[00:15:16] You've got 900,000 people plus myself of course. 900,000 everyone. How can we overcome the fear

[00:15:25] of rejection? The fear of failure? These fears. Unfortunately, now more than ever, I think the only way

[00:15:34] to overcome it is to experience it. That's my advice. Just do it. Just get out there and do it.

[00:15:41] I think you have to. It's one of those same thoughts. I've met a lot of people who say,

[00:15:47] hey, have you ever tried this food? They say, no, that's disgusting.

[00:15:52] But they've never tried the food. They don't know the food is actually disgusting. They just

[00:15:55] assume it is. Then it becomes an awful and it's item that they're never going to have.

[00:15:59] It could be disgusting but you don't really know until you try it.

[00:16:01] It could be the worst thing you've ever had or it could be your new favorite food depending on

[00:16:05] you actually trying it. It's the simple thing of exposure therapy. We have to expose ourselves to

[00:16:11] the things that we're afraid of but in micro quantities, if you are afraid of public speaking,

[00:16:17] the last thing you should do is get on stage in front of a thousand people for your first speech

[00:16:20] or you should probably practice in the mirror or practice into your cell phone.

[00:16:24] But that requires bravery. It requires courage and the biggest thing I think it requires is humility.

[00:16:31] The humility to say, I am going to do something today that in the grand scheme of everything seems

[00:16:36] like nothing but I do believe it will be a good foundation for me to start. But it's very humbling

[00:16:42] to start from what seems like less than zero unfortunately but I think we've all been there

[00:16:47] in some category of life. Do you feel that in order to be truly successful in the realm that

[00:16:54] you're talking about? Not necessarily successful as what we would define maybe as I've got

[00:16:59] an X amount of net worth. But successful with one cell, do you feel that there is a necessity for

[00:17:08] spiritual connection or does that seem to matter? In my belief, I feel like there has to be

[00:17:16] something bigger than myself. I have to be able to achieve something bigger than myself, answer

[00:17:22] to something bigger than myself. Is there a necessity for that for for exponential growth or

[00:17:29] or not? Do you think it's not controversial but I don't mind unless you do. No, no. I'm somebody who

[00:17:37] believes in spirituality. I don't practice a religion or look to a religion but even to your point,

[00:17:44] my goals have created something that's way beyond and way more important than me. So I would say as

[00:17:50] long as you can point to something in your life that is more meaningful than just the experience

[00:17:56] you're having, I don't think that'll ever be a bad thing. What I would say is I think fulfillment

[00:18:03] is a requirement for quote unquote success because here's the thing. You can have all the external

[00:18:09] results in the world but if you don't have internal fulfillment, internal self trust, internal

[00:18:14] appreciation, then I think you're in trouble. There's a lot of people out there that have the

[00:18:21] internal game down pretty strong but they don't have external results yet but you can get the

[00:18:26] external results. I don't know what's harder getting internal peace and internal alignment or

[00:18:32] getting external results. So oh, I would argue that external results are not nearly as important

[00:18:39] as the internal peace because you can have internal happiness and joy and be able to really feel

[00:18:47] the results of that external reward. Let's just say money for example, you know,

[00:18:52] it could be a nine figure net worth kind of guy. It is a big deal, right? Maybe you're billionaire.

[00:18:56] Who knows but if you're a billionaire and you're empty on the inside, narrowing amount of dollars

[00:19:03] or planes or jets or helicopters or toys or people, none of that will fulfill you. And so I

[00:19:12] think the internal has to come before the external. Yeah, it's just hard to measure that.

[00:19:18] It is really hard to... I mean, I don't know, I don't know if I've ever met somebody who woke up

[00:19:22] one day and said my goal is to be the most fulfilled version of myself. Well, I probably have.

[00:19:27] I've met a lot of people that are very, very aware of self-fifth. Well, it's a self-awareness,

[00:19:32] you know, without that self-awareness, I don't think that you could ever get there. You have to

[00:19:40] know who you are and what's in your heart and whether you actually feel satisfied. Yeah,

[00:19:44] you know, I mean, like, really, I'm the type of guy whether, you know, whether I'm making a lot of

[00:19:50] money that day, that year, that month, whatever or man, you know, it's a famine out there and, you know,

[00:19:57] I'm dying on a vine. I can still be very happy, you know, I still have that joy in my heart,

[00:20:04] that the gratitude for whatever it is in my life. I mean, yeah, you know what, life may suck right now,

[00:20:09] but that is air in my lungs. I am rewarded with air going in and out of my lungs, you know? And

[00:20:17] I don't think some people necessarily have that kind of gratitude or knowing where they're at

[00:20:24] spiritually getting right with their God or whatever it is. I think that does provide that internal

[00:20:29] balance or that internal peace where there's, you know, I do know some people and it is unfortunate who

[00:20:36] are wildly financially successful, they're successful in business, they're successful in lots of

[00:20:42] things, but yet man, they seem empty inside. And it's it, you know, you look at them and I think that

[00:20:50] they like to view themselves as, as, you know, a picture of success, a picture of greatness. But how

[00:20:56] greater are you when you actually appear completely empty? I think now more than ever self-improvement,

[00:21:03] it's crossed over into too many things. If you're learning about business, I don't really think

[00:21:08] that's self-improvement. I think that's business improvement. It's, it's different where a lot of people

[00:21:13] teaching self-improvement are very financially successful, but we don't know what their lives

[00:21:17] are like behind the scenes. We don't know what their relationships are like. We don't know what

[00:21:20] their relationships are like with themselves. So I 100% agree with all that. Yeah, there's a lot of

[00:21:25] darkness out there with some of these high net worth individuals and it's sad because you know,

[00:21:30] you want to actually, you want to wrap your arms around and say, hey, listen, you know, you can be

[00:21:35] happy and it doesn't always take money. You can have all the money. No one's going to take away from

[00:21:39] you. But what about what's in the heart? Yeah, cool. So I really like the way in which you

[00:21:51] present this. I really like the way in which you kind of drive for the heart before you look at

[00:21:56] other things. So if anyone was just listening or working with you, you've sort of addressed what is

[00:22:07] to be expected right out of the gate. How long does this generally take for people to kind of work

[00:22:15] through your process with them? And I realized that generally is a very interesting term because you

[00:22:21] may have people who are very receptive, but you also probably have people who fight you tooth and

[00:22:25] nail. So as an average, what does that look like? Our one of our group coaching. So our group coaching

[00:22:33] program is 90 days. And usually at the end of 90 days, everybody is pretty on track with tracking

[00:22:41] anywhere from six to 12 habits. At that point, they've learned a bunch. At that point,

[00:22:47] they have a pretty positive community. So I would say, yeah, three months if you can do things

[00:22:52] consistently for three months, you build a lot of self trust and you'll start to see some level

[00:22:57] of results, even if it's just the confidence to feel like you're on track with doing what you're doing.

[00:23:03] I would say three months is a reasonable amount of time to expect some level of results, whether

[00:23:08] probably mostly internal more internal results than external 90 days. So I'm going to ask

[00:23:14] a very tough question. Not everyone has the benefit of being in relationships with people of

[00:23:23] their lives, be it spouses, lovers, supports family, whatever. These sometimes and often too often,

[00:23:32] I think, I guess, people are with those who suck the air out of the room, not as supportive.

[00:23:38] It'd be toxic, maybe not toxic, but just not highly supportive. What do you say to people who are

[00:23:45] in these marriages? They love their spouse. They love their brother. They love their sister.

[00:23:49] They love their mother. They can't replace their mother. They don't want to divorce their mother,

[00:23:53] right? Or their father. How do you get them to still climb out when the support system isn't there?

[00:24:02] That is the billion dollar question. It's hard to talk about stuff like that because often time,

[00:24:08] it seems cold, but I had a conversation with a client one time whose family is toxic.

[00:24:14] They have a toxic family, 1,000%. I said, look, there's many options, but I don't know if anybody's

[00:24:21] really going to give it to you this straight. Most likely your family is going to die before you do.

[00:24:28] Then you'll have the opportunity after that to go all in on the person that you want to become.

[00:24:33] But what are we going to wait another 20, 30 years to be the most aligned, fulfilled version of

[00:24:37] yourself? If you have the privilege and the opportunity to limit the amount of time you're spending

[00:24:45] with these people, that's where I would start. Again, way easier said than done. It's the question

[00:24:53] of it's going to be painful right now, but it is probably what's best for me long term.

[00:25:00] But to your point, Thomas, I would probably say, all right, I feel like right now I am stuck in a

[00:25:07] lot of situations and a lot of energies that don't want to be in. I would seek out positive people

[00:25:12] before you start reallocating time with negative people because you're going to need the

[00:25:17] positive people to lean on when the negative people lash out. That would be true. That would be the

[00:25:22] first step is reach out to positive people before you do anything because you're going to want to

[00:25:26] lean on them anyway. So what is your advice for finding positive people?

[00:25:29] I think you find such creatures. If you were looking for Taylor Swift fans, you'd go to a

[00:25:33] Taylor Swift concert. You'd join a Taylor Swift Facebook group. You'd go to an autograph sign,

[00:25:37] whatever it is. I think it's the same with positive people. There's so many Facebook groups.

[00:25:43] There are so many book clubs. There's so many blogs, so many podcasts, so many websites.

[00:25:49] Make it a mission to seek out 15 different places that has content and leadership that you

[00:25:55] resonate with. And then just start sending messages to people in there, building relationships.

[00:26:01] Facebook groups are really a really good place to go. We're all seeking community at the end of

[00:26:06] the day. Sometimes unfortunately, you're going to have to be the one who puts in the effort to

[00:26:11] build your community. So that's what I would say. Facebook groups, events, meetups,

[00:26:17] there's a ton of different event apps now that are for self-improvement or whatever it may be.

[00:26:22] Get outside of your comfort zone, get outside of the normal sea that you usually do and I'm sure

[00:26:27] you'll meet some people. You know, I agree with you there, especially on the business events.

[00:26:33] So if people are going to a business event like a self-help kind of business event or just a

[00:26:38] simple self-help event, you're going to be around a lot of people who have a lot of positive energy

[00:26:43] because that's what they're going there for. They've already got some and they're going for even more

[00:26:48] and that's kind of a big deal. We are unfortunately short on time, so I do need to cut it here but

[00:26:58] what would be like the last bit of advice wisdom that you would offer people who are listening

[00:27:04] and how can they find? The last piece of advice wisdom is just one of my favorite quotes.

[00:27:11] The biggest difference between the person you are today and the person you want to be

[00:27:15] eventually is your habits. So if you can practice small things, a lot of the habits we talked about

[00:27:21] today are pretty small and they probably seem pretty insignificant but if you stack them over

[00:27:26] along enough period of time, a lot of things can happen and I'm an example of that for sure as

[00:27:31] many many of the people who are quote unquote successful are and then the best place is either

[00:27:36] the podcast, next level university. We do an episode every day so we can get a little bit better

[00:27:41] every day and Instagram my handle is at NeverQuitKid. I never quit kid and next level university.

[00:27:48] I encourage everyone to check those out. God, to podcast every day. I give you a lot of credit.

[00:27:54] Thank you. That is that is tough to do so I give you a lot of credit on that one. Anyone who's never

[00:27:58] done a podcast before that's a heck of the cadence right there so good for you. Well listen again,

[00:28:03] it's been an absolute pleasure having you on the program. I really enjoy this and you know,

[00:28:08] maybe like to hook up with you again at some point. I mean, that was very good. Thank you so much for

[00:28:12] coming. Thank you.
