(00:23):
So the whole journey is moremanageable and joyful and fulfilling.
Delusional,
an amazing athlete I work with toldme that one of her former training
partners came up to her one day andsaid, why are you still doing this?
(00:46):
And her answer was, I owe this to myself.
And he says it's, it's awaste of time and money,
and this just didn't make her very happy.
So I wrote back to her, that'swhat we call transference.
He's talking about himself.
He's not talking about you.
(01:10):
You know, sometimes pursu pursuinga dream that seems delusional to
others can be a powerful way toachieve something truly extraordinary.
Believing in a dream that othersdismiss can be a catalyst for action.
Driving force behind innovation progress.
This delusion or unwaveringbelief can lead to breakthroughs
(01:34):
and a change in perspective.
I honestly think that every singleperson on this planet, whoever
did anything amazing, had to have
delusion.
You see, we, we have this innercritic, this inner dialogue.
(01:55):
We all have it.
Some people it's louder than others.
And this is the one whose incredible jobis to protect us, but from being hurt.
And maybe that's what that guy was saying.
Maybe he was, look, he was.
You know, in his context of his life, ifhe was in the situation they were in where
(02:16):
there was long-term injury and it didn'tseem to be getting better fast enough,
maybe he would be, feel like hewould be wasting his money and he
would feel like he needed to quit.
And that's, that's totally okay for him.
But it's transference when you putyour beliefs and your, your thoughts
(02:37):
and your fears on another human being.
Honestly, if you're an amazing humanbeing who's a little bit delusional
about what you are here to accomplishin this world, hang on to your delusion.
Don't let it go.
(03:00):
Everybody says, be reasonable.
I, I wrote an episodecalled Being Unreasonable.
If you wanna do anything extraordinary inthis life, you have to be unreasonable.
And typically, if you really wantto do anything huge, massive, and
incredible, you have to be absolutelydelusional and maybe bat poop crazy.
(03:30):
Because the only ones who will evermake it are the ones who don't stop.
How do you know, know for a certain
that the setback you're in rightnow, how do you know for certain
that it's not the last one?
(03:54):
Before you hit theultimate dream, you don't.
But there's one guaranteed way to neverget to the incredible dream that's been
planted in you, that burns, burns you withdesire, which makes you wake up in the
morning, which makes you work hard, whichsometimes actually breaks your heart.
(04:20):
You know, I recently saw this quote.
And it says maybe the doubtsyou're experiencing and feeling
are proof that you believethere's a higher level
that you can achieve.
(04:41):
Don't stop now.
You know so many people.
So many people would quit just before.
So many people don't be that person.
So many people will un, under thebest intentions tell you that you're,
(05:05):
you know, it's okay to step back.
It's okay.
You don't have to do all that.
You know, it's okay if you don't make it.
And, and that's an incrediblywell-intentioned human being
who just wants to make surethat you don't get hurt.
But they're way too groundedin so-called reality,
(05:30):
and they actually don't have what ittakes to make it to that next level.
But you know what?
It's possible because so manypeople have done it before.
I mean, the percentage is small,but how do you know for certain
that you're not one of those people?
You don't.
(05:51):
You have no idea what you're capable of.
Dream big.
I always tell people who come and see me,the athletes come and see me, especially
the ones who are a little bit modest.
I'm like, Hey, listen, this,this is the place to brag.
This is a place to blow yourself up.
This is a place to speak your dreams intoexistence because you tell me your dream,
(06:20):
the more delusional,the better in my eyes,
and that's the only way I'll lookat you from now on as somebody
who is achieving that goal.
I don't know why, um, and maybe Ido know why, but it seems like this
(06:40):
world keeps on trying to tell us it'sokay if you don't reach the top, and
I understand why they're doing that.
You
know, to protect us from beinghar hurt, to protect us from.
Overdoing to protects us.
(07:00):
I mean, his beautiful intentions,
but the people who are really driven,
they don't need to hear that.
They need to hear that.
And this was a quote I, I really love.
It's like, all you need in this life isone person, just one person who says.
(07:27):
I believe in you.
You got this,
and on the days that it don't, it justdoesn't work out the way you wanted it.
They're there to support youand I still believe in you.
I tell you if you know any of thelong-term athletes I've worked with,
(07:48):
you know what they've been through,if you had any idea what they've been
through, and my belief is unwavering.
I don't care.
If you have six months, a year, fiveyears, 10 years where things don't
go your way, I still believe in you.
My belief is unwavering.
That's the one thing you can counton me, I believe so strongly,
(08:12):
and I'm never giving up on you.
So don't give up onyour delusional dreams.
And the, I say delusional, butthey're all, it's like anything.
Anything on this planet isimpossible until somebody does it.
And then it's notimpossible anymore, right?
(08:33):
It looks delusional up until thepoint where you actually succeed.
And to other people, it is delusionalbecause they could never, they don't
have a context of a possibilityof them ever being able to
achieve something as huge as that.
But just because it's delusionalto another human being doesn't
(08:56):
mean it's delusional for you.
See, I, I don't even believe that we'regiven these dreams by chance, right?
I mean, in my life I went througha lot and I dug myself into a deep
depression and almost, you know.
(09:20):
Ended.
Ended my existence a few times,
and then I fought my way back, starteddropping all those little pieces of me
that weren't me, and I had this dreamof sharing a message with people and
making a difference in the world, eventhough I'm just a normal, average guy.
(09:42):
I am not.
I don't feel like I'm anything special.
And yet I was given this burningdesire to make a difference,
to change the world, to help people.
And I started writing and Iwrote for, I don't know how
(10:04):
long, it was, a couple years.
And I, I never actually finishedany of my writing 'cause it.
Every time I edited it, itgot worse and worse and worse
until I put it in a corner.
And then I decided,
decided that if I couldn't get it outin written form in a book form, that
(10:25):
I would never get my message out.
And I lived like thatfor a very long time.
And then a few reallyinteresting things happened.
At first, I saw this quote that Ilove and will always be with me,
(10:48):
is the magic you are seekingin your life will be found in
the work that you're avoiding.
And then not too longafter I saw that quote.
I was having this amazing conversationwith an athlete and she was like, oh,
(11:08):
I wish I would be recording this so Icould listen to it later, like a podcast.
And then somebody else the next weeksaid that I should have a podcast.
So, absolutely de delusional, notknowing what in the clue, no idea
of what I'm doing or how to do it.
(11:32):
I just bought a microphoneand I thought, you know,
the way you get good at anything inthis life is you just keep on doing
it and doing it and doing it anddoing it and doing it and learning and
doing it and refining and doing it.
(11:53):
And do I know if I'll ever be incrediblypopular or, and it's not about popularity.
The truth is it's about do I know that theway I put these things together, that they
will have a massive impact on this planet?
I don't know, but I'm willing to fightfor every single one person that something
(12:18):
I say helps shift the way they see theirlife so they can have a better life.
And if I can just fight for every singleone person, you know, it's delusional.
Uh, there's like 8 billionpeople on the planet.
How am I gonna change the whole world?
(12:40):
That's absolutely ridiculouslyunreasonable and delusional.
And yet I'm gonna fightfor every one person.
And I don't know if it's possible to.
Impact the whole world, but I'll goout swinging like I can, and I know
(13:01):
for a fact in this lifetime, when youset massive, incredible, unreasonable,
delusional goals for yourself and youchase after them, like you believe in
the deepest part of your soul that youcan accomplish them, you will have.
(13:23):
A bigger impact on this life thanif you sat around eating Cheetos
and scrolling on your phone.
Massively big.
And the bigger the goal, the furtherit will move you through this life.
And who knows?
I don't know.
(13:44):
Remember, I always say whateveryou know, limits you to that fact.
I don't know how far reaching, howimpactful what I'm doing will become.
I'm just gonna try and I'm gonnatry and I'm gonna try and I'm gonna
(14:07):
try, you know, I work in my office12 hours days, six days a week.
And right now I run or strengthtrain every single day of the week.
When I'm off work, it'sabout seven o'clock.
(14:27):
I go home,
I cuddle with our puppy,Bailey Huckleberry.
I have a shower.
I eat some food.
I'm back on the couchwith Bailey Huckleberry.
I take her for a walk at eight.
She winds down, goesto bed about eight 20.
(14:50):
I go to bed about nine, many mornings.
I wake up 4 15, 4 30, have acoffee, and I go for a run.
And sometimes I'm in the office by six 30
and I work the whole day
(15:12):
and I find time to do this.
To record podcasts.
See, I'm, I'm delusionalabout time, right?
It's like there's always time.
I can fit more, I can do more.
There's more.
There's more.
There's more.
And am I tired?
Yeah.
I'm tired sometimes,
but I'm inspired and tired
(15:35):
because my life has a purpose.
Yeah.
I'm completely delusional about time.
I'm delusional about.
My impact I can have on this planet.
I'm delusional.
I, I am a little bit delusionalabout my running, but not quite
as delusional in the other areas.
And my running is all credited tothe amazing athletes I work with,
(15:58):
with these incredible dreams.
And I hope, like, I hope, if anything,if any impact I can have on these
human beings is to number one.
Have them speak into existence,what they want in life.
No matter how delusionalis, share it with me.
(16:21):
I tell many of them this thing,and you know, at first it doesn't
sound great, but hear me out here.
I
My biggest wish for you onthis lifetime in this planet,
everything is that you never.
Ever reach your potential?
(16:43):
You never reach it.
Let me qualify before you get up to that
because every time you, every singletime you get anywhere close to your
potential, I want you to raise the bar.
And then when you get close to thatpotential, you raise the bar and you
(17:03):
just keep on raising the bar, raising thebar, raising the bar, raising the bar.
And for your entire life.
This is my dream for my life.
This is my goal for my life.
This is my focus for my life, is Iwill never reach my potential because
my potential will be ever climbing upa ladder just outta reach and pulling
(17:25):
me, pulling me through this life.
Because I spent a lot of time feelinglike I was never going to like I was.
In the sense I was delusional,but not in a great way.
Like I had nothing to give.
I had nothing to offer.
I was, I just, I was so delusional aboutwho I was or the possibility of who I
(17:51):
was, that I felt like I was displacinga certain amount of air for a certain
amount of time on this planet, andthen I would die, and that was my life.
And now I'm on fire.
(18:12):
I'm on fire for my health.
I'm on fire for my message.
I'm on fire for my work,
and no matter what happens in this life,I will be working until my last breath.
To have an impact on this planet,
(18:36):
and that is absolutely delusional, and I'mokay with that because being realistic,
being reasonable,
being normal, I don'twant any of that anymore.
(19:00):
And I sure hope you don't anymore.
You, you know, you canjust do it with baby steps.
One little step.
One little step at a time.
Baby step baby step baby step, baby step.
If you think of it like,how do you climb a mountain?
Well, first off is it'sa really big mountain.
(19:21):
You're probably delusional thatyou're gonna climb that mountain.
But how do you do it?
Then
All you have to do is pointyourself in the direction of the
mountain, put one foot in frontof the other, and then repeat
until you climb the mountain.
It's not about how fast you get there,
(19:44):
like consistency, right?
It's not about how hardyou push to get there.
It's about consistency.
It's like,
(20:05):
you know, we need to bea delusion about things.
Like
I was talking to somebody recentlyand they were like, you know, I was
so afraid to get back to my sport.
I was standing on the line justscared, and I said, courage is
(20:28):
not the, the absence of fear.
It's taking action in the face of fear.
It's like people are confusedthat they think you have.
The courage is like you're never afraid.
No, you're afraid, but you do it anyway.
That's courage.
Courage has nothing to do.
(20:49):
You know, if you fake bravery when you'rereally afraid, that's, that's bravery.
That's courage.
That's what, that's what it is.
If you start, even thoughyou don't know how,
that's how you start.
(21:09):
You don't have to knoweverything to start, start.
It's like you don't haveto know the whole path.
You just start and thepath reveals itself.
You just can't listento the people who say
you're wasting your time
(21:32):
because you're not wasting your time.
You
never were.
And the reason you have that dream isbecause somewhere down through time and
dimensions, there's a, there's a versionof you that has succeeded this already
and they're screaming back over dimensionsand time saying, come on, let's go.
(22:00):
You got this waiting for you.
You weren't given your dream by chance.
You weren't given thisirrational, delusional dream
to not succeed.
(22:23):
You were given it to go for it in life.
And for what it's worth, I'm on your team
and I believe
in the beauty of your delusional dreams.
(22:45):

Delusional,
an amazing athlete I work with toldme that one of her former training

(00:46):
And her answer was, I owe this to myself.
And he says it's, it's awaste of time and money,

So I wrote back to her, that'swhat we call transference.
He's talking about himself.
He's not talking about you.
(01:10):
You know, sometimes pursu pursuinga dream that seems delusional to

Before you hit theultimate dream, you don't.
But there's one guaranteed way to neverget to the incredible dream that's been
planted in you, that burns, burns you withdesire, which makes you wake up in the
morning, which makes you work hard, whichsometimes actually breaks your heart.
(04:20):
You know, I recently saw this quote.
And it says maybe the doubtsyou're experiencing and feeling

So many people don't be that person.
So many people will un, under thebest intentions tell you that you're,

It's okay.
You don't have to do all that.
You know, it's okay if you don't make it.
And, and that's an incrediblywell-intentioned human being

See, I'm, I'm delusionalabout time, right?
It's like there's always time.
I can fit more, I can do more.
There's more.
There's more.
There's more.
And am I tired?
Yeah.
I'm tired sometimes,
but I'm inspired and tired
(15:35):
because my life has a purpose.
Yeah.
I'm completely delusional about time.
I'm delusional about.
My impact I can have on this planet.
I'm delusional.
I, I am a little bit delusionalabout my running, but not quite
as delusional in the other areas.
And my running is all credited tothe amazing athletes I work with,
(15:58):
with these incredible dreams.
And I hope, like, I hope, if anything,if any impact I can have on these
human beings is to number one.
Have them speak into existence,what they want in life.
No matter how delusionalis, share it with me.
(16:21):
I tell many of them this thing,and you know, at first it doesn't
sound great, but hear me out here.
I
My biggest wish for you onthis lifetime in this planet,
everything is that you never.
Ever reach your potential?
(16:43):
You never reach it.
Let me qualify before you get up to that
because every time you, every singletime you get anywhere close to your
potential, I want you to raise the bar.
And then when you get close to thatpotential, you raise the bar and you
(17:03):
just keep on raising the bar, raising thebar, raising the bar, raising the bar.
And for your entire life.
This is my dream for my life.
This is my goal for my life.
This is my focus for my life, is Iwill never reach my potential because
my potential will be ever climbing upa ladder just outta reach and pulling
(17:25):
me, pulling me through this life.
Because I spent a lot of time feelinglike I was never going to like I was.
In the sense I was delusional,but not in a great way.
Like I had nothing to give.
I had nothing to offer.
I was, I just, I was so delusional aboutwho I was or the possibility of who I
(17:51):
was, that I felt like I was displacinga certain amount of air for a certain
amount of time on this planet, andthen I would die, and that was my life.
And now I'm on fire.
(18:12):
I'm on fire for my health.
I'm on fire for my message.
I'm on fire for my work,
and no matter what happens in this life,I will be working until my last breath.
To have an impact on this planet,
(18:36):
and that is absolutely delusional, and I'mokay with that because being realistic,
being reasonable,
being normal, I don'twant any of that anymore.
(19:00):
And I sure hope you don't anymore.
You, you know, you canjust do it with baby steps.
One little step.
One little step at a time.
Baby step baby step baby step, baby step.
If you think of it like,how do you climb a mountain?
Well, first off is it'sa really big mountain.
(19:21):
You're probably delusional thatyou're gonna climb that mountain.
But how do you do it?
Then
All you have to do is pointyourself in the direction of the
mountain, put one foot in frontof the other, and then repeat
until you climb the mountain.
It's not about how fast you get there,
(19:44):
like consistency, right?
It's not about how hardyou push to get there.
It's about consistency.
It's like,
(20:05):
you know, we need to bea delusion about things.
Like
I was talking to somebody recentlyand they were like, you know, I was
so afraid to get back to my sport.
I was standing on the line justscared, and I said, courage is
(20:28):
not the, the absence of fear.
It's taking action in the face of fear.
It's like people are confusedthat they think you have.
The courage is like you're never afraid.
No, you're afraid, but you do it anyway.
That's courage.
Courage has nothing to do.
(20:49):
You know, if you fake bravery when you'rereally afraid, that's, that's bravery.
That's courage.
That's what, that's what it is.
If you start, even thoughyou don't know how,
that's how you start.
(21:09):
You don't have to knoweverything to start, start.
It's like you don't haveto know the whole path.
You just start and thepath reveals itself.
You just can't listento the people who say
you're wasting your time
(21:32):
because you're not wasting your time.
You
never were.
And the reason you have that dream isbecause somewhere down through time and
dimensions, there's a, there's a versionof you that has succeeded this already
and they're screaming back over dimensionsand time saying, come on, let's go.
(22:00):
You got this waiting for you.
You weren't given your dream by chance.
You weren't given thisirrational, delusional dream
to not succeed.
(22:23):
You were given it to go for it in life.
And for what it's worth, I'm on your team
and I believe
in the beauty of your delusional dreams.
(22:45):
