Today I am talking to a young guy, John Kimble, who really ventured on the wrong side of life. He wanted to be a gangsta, he had no remorse around the things he did, he robbed houses, sold drugs, had addictions, had attempted suicide a couple of times, had multiple felonies and eventually ended up in a psych ward diagnosed as a sociopath. That's some heavy stuff to go through. Yet, he makes no excuses. He has turned that all around to now having his own fitness centre KimbleFit - and now helps others of all ages find the life they want - through the same means he helped himself.
This is an inspirational conversation of overcoming the self. To pause, center yourself, and reflect on who you are and where you want to head. It's about looking within and at your mindset. We go to grassroot levels of commitment, discipline, and being accountable... incredible wisdom from someone who is just 18 years of age!
And a heads up, we briefly touch on the theme of suicide ideation and what you can do around that.
John's Bio
From psych ward and felonies to fitness trainer and life coach. Coming out to be CEO of KimbleFit, online personal trainer, life coach, and former amateur boxer. Going around helping people heal with their vices, addictions, fitness, nutrition, and mindset, just as he did himself.

When everything's not going right, Ijust, like I say, if it doesn't matter if
(00:04):
hell's happening on the external world,if I internally create this peace within
myself, then everything's going right,Like, it doesn't matter what situation
I'm in, as long as I hold my word tomyself, stay accountable to myself.
And what I set out for myself.
And actually build that confidencethrough the work I put in because the
(00:24):
more work you put into yourself, themore worth is provided, So if you don't
like people invest a lot in, theirvehicles, their jobs and all this stuff,
but they fail and they have a lack ofwork ethic towards their inner self.
So if they really work on their selvesand they'll gain the confidence they're
looking for, So that's pretty much,yeah, that's pretty much what I do
(00:53):
Welcome to the beautiful side of grief.
And today I'm talking to a youngguy, John Kimble, who really
ventured on the wrong side of life.
He wanted to be a gangster.
He had no remorse aroundthe things he did.
He robbed houses, sold drugs, hadaddictions, had attempted suicide
a couple of times, had multiplefelonies, and eventually ended up in a
(01:15):
psych ward, diagnosed as a sociopath.
That's some super heavystuff to go through.
Yet, He turned that all around to nowhaving his own fitness center, Kimble
Fit, and his mission now is to helpothers find the life they want through
the same means that he helped himself.
(01:37):
What a transformation atsuch an incredibly young age.
So let's get into it andsee just how he did that.
Hey John, great to bechatting with you today.
Hey, thank you for having me.
All
You're so welcome.
we were just having a quick chatbeforehand, before we went on air, and
I was just telling you how impressedI am that at such a young age, you've
(02:01):
been through so much, but you've alsomanaged to turn your life around.
So, really excited tobe talking about that.
But you really put yourself throughthe wringer in your younger days.
can you tell us what yourearly home life was like?
was like, where you grew up, your mother,father, siblings, that type of thing,
just to give us a sort of foundation.
(02:22):
Yeah.
now this is crazy, right?
I always say this is that I grew upin a very Like good raised home like
a christian based home my parents andeverything really raised me on the right
side And did everything they could notevery parent is perfect, but they did
everything they could they did pretty goodraising me, but I just got deterred down
the wrong path because of just influence.
I was just influenced by the wrong people.
(02:44):
I was influenced by drug dealersand all this stuff, and ultimately
that led to gang violence and likethe life of crime, robbing, but it
all led and all stemmed from gettingdrugs, that's what we wanted to do.
we had to get money to get that.
So that's where it really came, became aproblem, and that's where the depression
led and all that stuff was the drug.
(03:04):
like I said, I was raised in avery good home and it was just that
negative influence that deterred me.
That's so good to know, becauseso often we think, okay, you had
to have had a really dysfunctionalchildhood, to go down that path.
But really, it was just theallure of the gangsta life, eh?
What was it about that,that really attracted you?
(03:28):
Well, the person that, so the littlebrother of, it was like the biggest
known drug dealer in the city, hislittle brother, I was friends with him.
And there'd be kids that would try tostart stuff at school, but he would
always stick up for me and stand up forme so I'd always felt a bond with him.
So I just started hanging around him.
And especially at that age,it's so easily influenced,
(03:50):
What age were you?
was like, at that time, probably like14, 15, that's where it really started.
and then yeah, and then that'swhere we started like stealing
it started off with simple stuff.
You know just like stealing from theteachers and whatnot something stupid
like that And then it started out withthe ended out with the houses and all that
So what was the reality ofthat life once you got into it?
(04:12):
Was it what you expected and howdid it make you feel as a person?
No, it's exactly what I expected Iactually wanted to go to jail and
all these places right but the momentthat I actually got into something
like that I realized that it wasn'twhere exactly I wanted to go.
like the moment .I actually was admittedinto the psych unit, I did massive
(04:32):
reflection because of the isolationI was in and I really saw all the
pain I was causing to everyone else.
And ultimately that reallywas a deterrence for me
continuing down that path.
That's when I really realizedthat I didn't want to go down that
path, because everything that weexternally give on to others read
and really receive right back to us.
So if we give out negativity, thinkingthat it only affects us, it affects
(04:54):
everyone else just as much, if not worse.
So I saw how much it wasaffecting my parents.
And then that really made me notwant to continue down that path.
See that's a big thing to have that typeof introspection at such a young age.
So let's just go back a step.
Was it in the psych ward that youwere diagnosed as a sociopath?
(05:14):
Is that where that diagnosis came from?
And Can you just, just elaborateon that for our listeners that may
not know exactly what that means?
Yeah, of course.
So they wanted to do thatbecause of how heavily addicted
I was to alcohol at the time.
They even put me in a isolated roomaway from everyone because they
wanted to watch over me and monitorme and it's just, Symptoms like that.
(05:38):
Then I believe that I wasn'ta sociopath at the time.
I just participated in actions thatwas sociopathic, you know, like we're
not labeled these mental illnesses.
We just partake in actions thateventually lead up to something like it.
So I was doing that, in the criminalactivity, getting arrested, having
a lack of empathy, a lack of, theysay they don't have any conscience,
but everybody has a conscience.
(05:59):
Like I said, it just gets lost in someplaces from ignoring it from so long.
That eventually leads down the pathof that and then yeah That's what they
wanted to diagnose me with but trulydeep down inside I knew I wasn't that but
they wanted to give me these therapistsfor it and these meds and all this.
And like I always say likethey wanted to give me all of
that But I didn't I refused it.
(06:21):
I refused it at the time because ofcourse I was my mindset was juvenile
But the moment I got out I got hookedback on all this stuff and I was coming
off of a bad hangover and that was likea pinnacle moment of my life where I
learned and I really implemented thethings that I still use now was just my
self talk like peak physical performance.
I just right after I woke up off of thatcouch from a hangover, I went and run.
(06:45):
I just ran until I couldn't anymore.
And I had self talk that was justlike undeniably strictly aligned with
the person that I wanted to become.
And that helped me more then the therapistand the pills and all this stuff ever did.
And the rehab, they even wanted meto send me there but the only thing
that really helped me was trulybeing honest and accountable for my
(07:05):
internal feelings, what I was feeling.
cause I was like, depressionis just a common problem.
So did all that come from that timeyou spent in reflection and isolation?
Was that really what started the ballrolling to you deciding that actually
you needed to change your life up,you needed to have a different focus.
(07:26):
Yeah, that's exactly what did it.
because when you travel alone, youreflect more, so the moment I was alone
and thoughts really started to seekin and I wasn't relying on an external
source for an internal problem, like Ireally sought deep within internally.
And then me reflecting on all theproblems in the past and all the
pain I caused, that's what, like yousay, really allowed me to change.
(07:47):
Yeah.
So again, it's such a big thingthat you're talking about and doing,
because I guess there are manypeople that think in their head,
okay, I want my life to change.
And then they say, get out and theygo right back to where they were.
same habits, same people,same friends, and that.
How did you resist the temptation to getdrawn back into that lifestyle again?
(08:13):
Yeah.
So the moment that I actually said I wasgoing to quit and then I did, and I threw
everything away in the trash and I gotit, I got everything back out the trash
right after, because I never really had apersonal development process to strengthen
me above John Kimble above that.
so now I have a process, let's just sayIntense physical action that really,
it really gets your heart rate going.
(08:34):
And it leaves alleviates you fromany negative vices or temptations
that you had once before.
So I just got around the right group ofpeople and I had actions, habits, and
a mindset change that really aligned meto the person that I wanted to become.
right when that motivation strikesyou to be a better person, that's
when you have to act on it and createlike a goal plan and action plan.
(08:55):
It really set out habits.
Like little habits, not huge ones thatyou get discouraged by, like right off
the bat, little ones that over timebuild up to something a amountful.
So that's what I did.
And that's really what changed everything.
Yeah, one step at a time.
Just step, step, step.
Be prepared to go back a coupleof steps and then try it all
(09:16):
again and just keep going forward.
is that what you're saying?
Yeah.
Had
Yes.
That is exactly what I'm saying,because people burn out when they throw
everything at themselves at once, So themoment that I threw the things away and
I actually had a personal developmentprocess to strengthen me and to have,
to replay, I re the only thing I didwas replace something of a lower nature
with that of a higher nature, right?
(09:37):
So instead of the external source,like the drugs and alcohol I used,
let's just say running and burpees andself talk and stuff like this, stuff
like mindset changed my early wake up,my morning reflection on everything.
I regret that I replacedthat with devices.
And then that changed my lifebecause I was far projecting
towards something in the future.
(09:58):
So I never really was pastregressing towards anything
that was ailing me in the past.
always had this type of mindset?
Because it sounds like once youcommit to something, you're all in.
Yeah, I know.
I always have.
Even when I got arrested, the copwas like, man, I've never seen a kid.
We've never had this.
it's very rare that somebodydoes all this at once.
(10:19):
usually they built up on chargesover time, but you just did it all at
once, So it's really, yeah, if I dosomething that I'm going like all out.
Yeah,
in my
just Yeah.
And that's fantastic.
We're going to talk to that in a minute.
But, let's go back, because what Ireally want to understand is, I read
(10:43):
that you had a spiritualist experiencein the midst of all of this as well.
Is that correct?
And if so, what was that like?
what sort of, how did that come to you?
a spiritual experience.
so there is many times where I've hadlike the aha moments during, throughout
(11:03):
my journey, but I never really actedupon it because a lot of people do have
those moments where they want to change.
But like I said, they never create anygoal or action plan to really stick to
over time, but yeah, the spiritual moment,there was one actually, when I got out
the psych ward, like I said, when I wasin there, I reflected a lot and I saw
the pain I was causing, but when I gotout, even when I got out, although I
(11:27):
had that mindset, I still, went back anddrew back to the vices and everything.
The moment that, like I said, Ireplaced that of a lower nature of
a higher nature and really had thoseactions that aligned strictly to the
person that I wanted to become in thefuture, that's when it all changed.
when I actually stuck to the habits.
Because once you see like resultsfrom the little like monotonous
(11:49):
tasks that you're doing, then that'swhen the motivation comes as well.
I just want to drill down into that,because there are a lot of people
that say they want to change, andthey want to do something, but what
you're doing is saying that whenyou had time to reflect, this is it.
When you had time to reflect, youcould see all the harm and the pain and
(12:14):
have remorse for what you were doing.
Now, that's really insightful becauseI know a lot of adults today that are
still busy blaming everything externally,it's their family, it's their work,
it's their fitness, it's their illness,it's whatever they want it to be.
But really, I think the truthtransformation starts to happen is
(12:36):
when you start taking accountabilityfor it, which is exactly what you did.
So I think, just from a personalperspective, that's where
that catalyst for change came.
But what.
What do you say to people whoare still making up excuses or,
(12:58):
looking externally to change?
yeah, you can't exist on an externalsource for an internal problem.
like I started blaming others for myproblems, but really the only thing
and the only person that I actuallyneeded to blame was my own self,
for all my fck ups and everything.
that's what I needed to change.
And.
(13:19):
Every time when I thought that I would,that it was everyone else's problem.
Like I thought I was perfectly fine,but the moment I started blaming myself,
that's when I saw the change around me,like I actually took accountability.
That's what I say.
I looked in the accountability mirror,like I looked in an actual mirror,
but people just need to look reallylike internally within themselves and
see and hold themselves and accepteverything they're doing wrong.
(13:41):
Because actually.
like a frequency chart on online, it'llshow acceptance is one of the highest.
it's one of the top ones on there becauseonce you accept everything that's wrong
with you, you get massive clarity becauseyou actually had enough courage to say
that, oh, I am dealing with this, andthen, I, I am the source of my problems.
(14:02):
This is really stemmingfrom me, not anyone else.
And then, you'll realize that thesource of your problem, or the solution
to your problem, exists within you.
instead of, like I said, seekingexternally for advice to solve
it internally, you just seek deepwithin, and it'll really reflect.
So I'm really grateful that youexplained that in a bit more
detail for people to understand.
(14:23):
How old are you now, John?
I'm 18.
I just turned 18, 31st of October.
Okay, so how long have you beenundergoing this transformation for?
like two years, about two years, twoand a half years, two, three years.
it's crazy because once you reallytranscend self, like once you
(14:44):
really, like I was addicted, right.
I was going on the wrong path,but I was so disciplined and
dedicated on the wrong path.
So the moment I switched over tothe right one, then that's where
everything changed in my life.
like that's whereeverything just transformed.
But it's also that incredible levelof awareness that you've got at
your age that I find so incredible.
I talk to a lot of people and, somepeople have taken late into life to
(15:08):
start having these realizations thatactually it all comes from within.
it's taking ownership.
You're responsible.
You're at the helm for your life.
And indeed it took me a long time.
that's what I find incredibleabout you and your story.
Tell us about what some of thebig challenges were for you.
(15:29):
I know you were committed tochanging your life and just getting
into it and doing it day by day.
But were there some challenges thatyou had to overcome in that process?
Did
Yeah, of course.
There's many challenges, especially,on the start of the personal
development journey, there's alwaysis because it's juvenile at first.
(15:50):
And the T this, the temptationsand desires always still seek in.
So that's why you can't quit justbecause you gave up one time.
Doesn't mean that you have tolike the rest of the days, just
because something in the morning.
messed up or deterred that mindsetdoesn't mean that you have to have that
off mindset for the rest of the day.
But the things I did was I took those,I took that adversity as a lesson, as
(16:14):
opportunities to actually reflect on whereI messed up and take it as an opportunity
for growth and to better myself.
Because like I said, I actually was justtalking about this instead of exploiting
my strengths, like I really exposed myweaknesses to reflecting on what I regret.
That's what I do in the morning.
Like I do my morning reflection afterthe gym and I'm like, what did I not
(16:35):
do yesterday that I was supposed to do?
Or, who could have, who couldI have helped that I didn't?
Like, I really reflect on that.
And then that's where Ireally can see all the flaws.
In my character instead of, likeI said, focusing on my strengths.
you have the desire to set up yourKimble fit, company right from the
(16:57):
get go, was that one of your goalsor did that just come along as you
started this journey of gettingyourself fit and on the right track?
Yeah, that just came along like I justpeople saw me change and then they asked
me Everything about what I was doingand then they came to me with their
problems and I was like, oh, let me makea website like where I can just exploit
(17:21):
all my knowledge on wisdom on there.
And that's where I Like still on mywebsite to this day, I have those blogs,
my first blogs that I ever posted,because all I wanted to do was just
create a website to help people togive them like free value and to really
help them with their problems becausethey always ran to me with theirs.
So I was, and it always felt goodgiving back, like I said, everything
(17:41):
in which we want to internally receive,like we externally give onto others.
So that's really where it came from.
I didn't even know youcan charge for this stuff.
I didn't even know.
I just did it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that sense of giving.
I one thousand percent agree with you.
There's no better feeling than helpingsomebody or giving something freely
(18:01):
without any expectation in return.
What were some of the key things, problemsthat people were coming to you with?
actually the first person that everreally came to me was something,
oh, it was something like a moneyproblem they were struggling with,
but it was like really deeper within.
It was something about how hedidn't have enough money to buy his
(18:22):
little brother a Christmas presentor his mom a present or something.
And even though it seems like .Verylittle and juvenile like it really
saw deeper within I don't know hisparents got a divorce or something and
he was coming to me with his problems.
And you know I just gave him somemoney and gave him some like gems
and knowledge that I used and wisdomto help him and then He was I he's
(18:43):
been following me like ever sincethen and he's just been so attached
to me because i've always helped him.
And just to see like that impactthat you can cause on someone's life
And for example, the like last weeksomebody called me and said They just
got admitted into a psych unit as well,
and they were thinkingabout taking their life.
And he called me because he said he's 30.
No, he's 50 something years old.
And he's it's crazy that I'm callingan 18 year old, for this stuff.
(19:06):
But man, it's just a special connection.
Like I just feel something, becauseyeah, I have so much knowledge and
wisdom that I've gained over the years.
Like he knows that I know some, Iknow some shit because I've been
through like what he's going through.
So I shared it and I helped him.
and it's always those calls thatrealign you with what you're
really supposed to do in life
Yeah.
Yeah, you've definitely are an old soul.
(19:29):
You feel like you've just, jumpedonto this journey and taken it by the
reins and just really charged ahead.
So what are you trying to do withyour fitness with Kimble Fit?
what is the purpose and the goals of this?
is to just reach, like changethe world person by person,
like one person at a time.
(19:49):
Get them, physically fit, like reallytrack their macros and training
because that's what I did first.
To change everything in my life, likethe first thing I ever did was get my
like nutrition and training, right?
Like every time it felt like when I had tochange my life, I was like, Oh, I got to
start tracking and training my nutrition.
Like every time when I started tochange my life, it felt like that
(20:11):
was the first thing I needed to do.
So that's where it really camefrom as well, because that's like a
gateway to this discipline and thishigh frequency mindset that I always
preach about like high frequency.
if people don't knowwhat that is, it's just.
Really elevating your mental status to away more positive one through something.
let's just say if you're avoidingsomething and you run into it, or
(20:31):
if you do I always preach aboutlike intense physical action.
If you do burpees and if you get yourblood oxidation level moving, then you
get in what I call a higher frequency,but you get that like dopamine and all of
that rush and you really push past all thenegative vices and desires that you were
plagued with and you just only see thepositive outlook of the problem instead
(20:52):
of dwelling on the negatives of it.
And that's what that mindset, likegroup call that I have after every
week on my program, that's what themindset training and nutrition is about.
So that's pretty much what Kimble Fit is.
It's just getting themmentally and physically right.
But some people just wantto get physically right.
it's, but it always leads tosomething mental, it's always a
deeper problem within, but yeah.
(21:15):
Yeah.
And We're in a, an age where everythingcan be done online So have you set
your business up so that you canhelp people anywhere in the world?
Yeah, I even had clients in India.
it's like I just get them intothe app, and we can still have
the group call and all that stuff.
Or if they want to work one on one,I have that too, Because I just, it's
(21:37):
just really going in depth with theirproblems and really finding the solution.
But yeah, it's everywhere thatit's the informational age.
Everything's online.
Like you said,
Yeah, I heard this great definitionof anger today and it was like
the emotional punishment you giveyourself for someone else's behavior.
and I thought to myself,yes, that is so good.
(22:00):
Are you dealing with a lot ofthose emotions within people?
Because I often find people arenot aware of their emotions.
They just have these bursts ofanger or frustration or, I don't
know, you could just about name anyemotion and people don't realize
where they're even stemming from.
So do you have much ofthat you're dealing with?
(22:21):
And if so, how, what areyou recommending to people?
yeah, I actually wake uplike all the time negative.
And every time when I think I have myducks in a row and let's just say my
ego's running rampant or something, andthen something happens and it always
knocks me off course, I'm like, Oh shit.
But I just realized that.
(22:42):
This is what I tell myself.
I tell myself that, Oh,I'm nobody in this life.
All I am is a vessel thatneeds to give to everyone else.
But that's what I alwayspreach in my program.
And that's why I have this system thatno matter what happens or no matter
what's plaguing me on the inside, likeany negativity, anger, or whatever,
if I wake up negative, I run rightinto my personal development process,
(23:02):
which is like my early wake up, mymorning reflection and my workout.
And that always realigns meto a more positive mindset.
And I'm not really dealing with anynegative narratives of the past.
I'm not really played with anyanger, depression, or any of these
vices and temptations, because I'msolely focused on, like I said,
chasing that higher frequency.
Like existing outside thebounds and needs of your human
(23:26):
the body's existence, and you're reallyexisting within the soul of yourself.
So you're transcending to a higher level.
And like I said, you're just seeingthe world in a way, different way.
Like how we see the world externally isan internal perception and an internal
reflection of us, of how we see ourselves.
So if we, if everything's not going rightin our life, then we'll see the world
(23:48):
as nothing's going right in the world.
But if we really, truly likebetter ourselves and get
in that positive mindset.
Then everything in theworld is going right.
Yeah.
Also, too, I think that type of mindsetalso helps us cope with, all the chaos
that's happening in the world as well,because, there is so much chaos out there.
(24:09):
So you can choose to buy into that andlisten to it and immerse yourself in
it and get taken down with it, or youcan choose to stay at a higher level,
higher vibration, above it all andjust concentrate on what you can do.
Is that what you doaround that sort of thing?
(24:30):
Yes.
That's exactly what I do.
Like when everything's not goingright, I just, like I say, if it
doesn't matter if hell's happening onthe external world, if I internally
create this peace within myself, theneverything's going right, you know?
it doesn't matter what situationI'm in, as long as I hold my word to
myself, stay accountable to myself.
And what I set out for myself.
(24:51):
And actually build that confidencethrough the work I put in because the
more work you put into yourself, themore worth is provided, So if you don't
like people invest a lot in, theirvehicles, their jobs and all this stuff,
but they fail and they have a lack ofwork ethic towards their inner self.
So if they really work on their selvesand they'll gain the confidence they're
(25:11):
looking for, So that's pretty much,yeah, that's pretty much what I do.
Yeah.
So you've had a couple of brusheswhere you felt like you've
wanted to take your own life.
And what would you recommend to othersout there who are feeling the same
way that they feel like there's nopurpose, no direction, just to get them.
(25:33):
Snap them out of that mindset.
I was saying, somebody called me lastweek about that, how they were trying to,
and I was saying, and I always said hewas taking like these pills and stuff.
And I, that's what I was telling himto not truly rely, not truly rely on
an external source, to really seekdeep within internally and realize
(25:55):
that what you're dealing with islike a common as problem, right?
everybody, every like with depression.
and you're really beingselfish in that situation.
Like you really need to outwardly seeksomeone else's problem and go help
somebody else out with theirs and seehow you feel internally, you know?
because like you're solely focused, hewas solely focused and solely just truly.
(26:17):
Really diving deep in what he was dealingwith which is good, But still go help
someone else out with their problems andsee how it exponentially helps yours out
And just having it's either high frequencyor low frequency a person that's I
wasn't, let me say this, let me say this.
I was in the psych ward and therewas people, suicidal people and all
this, they try to take their life.
But the moment that they got into flowstate, the moment they got in like a
(26:41):
higher vibration, that's the moment whenevery, there was laughing and then all
this, there was talking about all thispositive stuff, this positive change.
It's you would have never even guessedthey would have been plagued with that
and they weren't at that point, Theyweren't depressed at that moment because
it was high frequency or low frequency.
It's either they're in a low frequencymindset where they do want to take
their life or they're in a highfrequency mindset where they don't,
(27:03):
and they're only existing insideeverything positive of that situation.
And that's pretty much it.
And it's just having those toolsthat realign you every time you do go
negative, and let's just say, let'sjust say it doesn't work, but over
time you build discipline that, overtime you build discipline that realigns
you with your best self, and you canreally stop yourself from going down
(27:25):
that negative thought process becauseof the discipline you build over
time from investing so much into you.
Yeah.
Just like you said, like everymorning you wake up with a negative
mindset and what you do is youcounsel yourself out of that.
You do the things that are going tolift you up and set your day up in
(27:46):
a way that, that you're only goingto be attracting those positive,
flow state type of experiences.
yeah,
Talk to me about grief.
Where have you seen grief in yourlife and how has that manifested?
And yeah, let's talkabout that a little bit.
grief is everywhere, you know It's in thefamily's losses and it's in it's even in
(28:09):
the psych units there's a lot of grief,you know with people and their families
and all this but really the thing isabout that is I take it as I just take it
as an opportunity to really look at thesituation and instead of coping with it
with, like I said, the external sources,like really run into it more because like
(28:29):
you just talked about how I'm dealingwith the anger or whatever when I wake up
with it, over time, just running into theanger instead of running away from it,
you build like calluses on your mind.
You build this like neurological pathwaythat lets you run into the situation in a
different way, in a different manner, Soif you look at that problem or the grief
(28:49):
and a third person point of view, andyou see everything that you can get from
it, like you react off of thoughts andlogics instead of feelings and emotions.
And it's okay to react off of feelingsand emotions at first, everybody
does, everybody's human, right?
But you don't stay that way.
you don't, stay that way year after year,of constantly dwelling on the problem.
eventually you're going to haveto run right into the solution.
(29:11):
life's too short to keep dwellingon what ailed you in the past.
So if you really have something to forwardproject you into the future, you're
never going to deal with any negativeor grief that's happened to you in the
past, because you're constantly stayingand solely focusing on something that's
forward progressing you in the future.
Like you're staying, working on something.
(29:32):
That's why personaldevelopment is so good.
Cause it's a never ending journey.
We're always working on something.
Yeah, that's really good information.
Really good analogy there.
talk to me about flow state,what does that feel like for
you, when you're in a flow state,describe for us how that feels.
(29:53):
it's probably the best feeling outthere because you're existing outside
the bounds of your wants and desires.
And you're existing within likeeverything that you should be.
You're not realizing time as it passes by.
That's what flow state is.
Like you're so intrigued andinvoked in what you're doing.
You're just flowing.
You don't realize what's happeningaround you because you're solely
(30:13):
focused on the thing in front of you.
So that's what, and it's just, it reallyputs you out of the mindset of what you
want and all these desires that you mayhave and all these like external sources
of validation that you're seeking.
And it really allows you to, it reallyallows you to just solely focus in on
(30:34):
what you're doing and have a positivemindset towards it and not really be
deterred by any negativity going onbecause you're just in flow state.
You're flowing.
That's what the high frequency is.
It's just flow state, even at a job orsomething like you can get in flow state
by self talk, by talking to yourself in adifferent way and different manner, Yeah,
I'm tired and shit, but I'm a crush it.
(30:55):
Like I'm even go harder today.
like that puts you in a flow state.
Yeah.
And that's often where you getsolutions to problems coming from.
They just magically appear, don't they?
It's just like coming out of theether, like you were just working
on something and then somethingwill pop into your mind and you go,
yeah, that's what I was looking for.
Yeah.
Talk to me now about theimportance of love in our lives.
(31:21):
Well, love is very important because itis, I look at it as like an emotional
thing of support, because my parentsshowed me love all the time when I was
going down the wrong path in life, whichreally helped me out, but there's a lot of
things that parents can do, but ultimatelyon the universe, when the universe puts
you down a path, like there's nothingthat you can actually do to that person.
(31:45):
But no, I always, and they didgave me a lot of compression.
That was the thing.
They didn't lie to me.
love isn't lies, So why would theydestroy, why would they give me
more comfort when comfort was thething that destroyed me in the first
place, and they didn't lie to me.
And that was really showingthat they truly loved me.
Like I tell my people all the time, peoplethat are letting themselves go around me.
I'm like, you know what?
My friends all the time, they're youngand they don't have this body that I have.
(32:10):
So I'm like, and I call them up, peoplethink it's, you're calling them out,
but really you're calling them up intoeverything in which they should be.
And even men out there like 30, 40,50 that are had that their habits
are not aligned with the future, orthe husband and father that they want
to become, you don't lie to them.
Like you actually express the truth.
dude, you have tits as a man.
this is not okay.
(32:31):
Like you're a dude and you have tits.
Like your child's going to be confused onwho to breastfeed off of because of this.
this is not okay.
Like you're, like this is, andit's just not lying to them.
Instead of being like, insteadof looking into yourself in the
mirror and saying, I love myself.
And if you truly don't love yourself,like you have to really be accountable.
And really be honest on why you don't andyou have to seek that problem and fix it
(32:54):
and just seek a solution that makes you dolove yourself instead of lying to yourself
You know, that's what true love is
Yeah.
Can you look in the mirror?
Tell yourself you love you.
No, I can't because i've listened tomy conscience over time and I just
know that whatever it tells me i'mdoing it that second right on the
moment and that really builds thattrue love for yourself you know.
(33:16):
Really sticking to your word as longas you just If you set out a goal or
if you tell yourself you're going to dosomething or your people you're going
to do something and if you do it Thenthat will equal an amount, an abundance
amount of love and self confidence.
Oh, I love that.
Who is the John Kimble now wholooks back at you from the mirror?
(33:36):
It's just the John Kimblenow that's in the mirror.
It's just, I don't even care who I am.
I just care about that I'm a vessel and Ihave, this message to preach and give out
to everyone else and it's just a person.
I'll just discipline confident.
that really sticks to his word and holdsthis word to himself because over time,
(33:57):
confidence is consistent implementation.
That's what confidence is a by productof, So if you just consistently implement
all these tasks, it'll eventually buildconfidence and that's who I see when
I look in the mirror, there's just aconfident individual that runs into
everything that's most hardest for him.
And over time that builds like anunbreakable mindset that I've created now.
(34:20):
And that's the energy you'reputting out to others too, isn't it?
Because that's what theyfeel when they're around you.
They feel that confidence.
They feel that love.
They feel that you've workedhard for what you're doing.
and I guess that, is ahuge inspiration to others.
What haven't we had a chatabout, John, that you would
(34:40):
like our listeners most to know?
It's probably like validating yourselfwith your own habits and actions, because
even though, like I've overcome whatwas most hardest for me, like seeing
people in my area, crushing it, right?
they're crushing it.
And I know I'm 18, but Icompare myself to the greatest
(35:03):
in my area, which is not good.
people should not compare theirlevel one to someone else's
level 20, chapter 20 in life.
Like I do everything that you canwithin that day to strengthen yourself.
And do everything that bring 110percent into that day, not really
seeing too far into the future, likebettering yourself 1 percent every day.
(35:24):
Like I said, planting those seeds,those little seeds that grow over
time and it eventually in the endit'll build into something big.
Just time, just day by day, like reallyworking on yourself, validating yourself
from within through your habits andactions, not seeking an external source
of validation from anyone else out there.
Even though it's hard to, because whensomeone tells us something that, or
(35:48):
when somebody tells us something thatthey're elevating way more in life
in than us, if we're doing everythingthat we possibly can to exceed in that
area, it's hard to not get discouraged.
However, that's why I have thisprocess and program because it realigns
me and my self talk realigns me toreally seek deep within and realize
(36:11):
that i'm doing all what I can withwhat I have now until I actually
get more in life so that's just it.
Comparing ourselves to others, Ithink that can be one of the most
soul destroying things to do.
Yeah, because, we each haveour own journey, our own
path, how that looks like.
maybe it's not our journey thislifetime to be the person who has
(36:33):
all the toys or everything like that.
And, Who's standard is that anyway?
like for me to surround myself withfriends and people I love being
with and to have that beautifulenergy and flow state is far more
important than any material thing.
yeah.
when you have to work out what it isfor you, that's important, don't you?
(36:54):
Hey, John, I'm going to finish upwith a couple of questions that
I ask everyone, on the podcast.
So what is the best thing thathas happened to you so far today?
was this the calls getting in the flowstate of course, I mean that's always
it's just realigning myself to the bestversion of myself, that higher frequency
(37:14):
through giving to others, everythingI wish to receive within myself,
Oh, I love that.
What is something thatyou are grateful for?
just breathing, like literally,if you, and that's the thing
that, that's the thing, right?
If people just.
stop and then calm their mind and reallylook back on what they're grateful for.
(37:36):
Oh, I can walk, like I can breathe.
Like I have this house to come,this home to come to and everything.
that's what's really.
Because we always forget at the endof the day, our minds are always
fogged by everything that we'refocused on in the future or something
in the past, but really we have tobe solely grateful on what we're
what we have now in the present.
I think people ,underestimate thepower of gratitude, don't they?
(38:00):
Because, when you take yourself back tothose simple things, it's a beautiful day,
hey, I've got hot running water and power.
life is good for me.
I've got a roof over my head.
Those sorts of
Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
And then nobody realized thatuntil everything's really
stripped away from them.
when everything's stripped away fromthem, especially, let's just say when
I was on the run and I would see thepolice cars past looking for me, I was
(38:24):
like, Oh my, I thought I was just gone.
I thought I was gonefor life or something.
I was, and everything was strippedaway from me at that moment.
And I had dinner with my family that nightand I was like, one of the best moments of
my life, just having dinner, like a, justa normal every night dinner for my family.
But the difference with that was,I wasn't in jail cell or anything.
I was sitting, just having a simplenice dinner with my family in a nice
(38:46):
home, and that was just like enough.
yeah.
It changes the wholeperspective, doesn't it?
When you're having moments in your daythat, are turning to custard, you've
set yourself up and then somethinghappens and it takes you off course,
how do you pivot out of those moments?
Yeah, it always happens.
yeah, it always happens, but I justdo what I just do what I can that day,
(39:07):
and I just keep sticking to the processand program that I laid out for myself.
So if I have something to do, I juststick to it, and that's the thing,
sometimes and every single day, we mightnot get that enlightening feeling or that
clarity that we get on most days, likesome days we don't get any, enlightening
or any high frequency moment, but wejust have to still stick and we have
(39:28):
to run into what will get us to a highfrequency even if we don't get it anyway.
Even if the feeling is vague at themoment, we still have to run into it
and we still have to consistently do it.
because when we do it, and when wedo get a higher frequency from it,
we'll regret on the time past beingthat we didn't follow through on
our word, so no matter how you'refeeling, you just still get it done.
(39:50):
And then over time that builds justan abundant amount of confidence.
Yeah.
It's living authentically, isn't it?
Standing by your word, having the courageto say no to people, say yes to people,
We take that for granted, but actuallyI think truly stepping into ourselves
and being the best we can possibly be,exactly as we are, as our personality.
(40:15):
That's a big thing, and I love thatyou're helping people to do that.
John, any other parting thoughts thatyou'd like to leave our listeners with?
no, that's pretty much, pretty muchit, you know, I mean, that's one of
the biggest things and the biggesttakeaways that I've learned, when things,
when things try to throw you off, youjust stay consistent, no matter how
(40:37):
you feel, you just keep doing them.
And then there's winningseasons and losing seasons.
You're going to go through, let's justsay a losing season, but if you stay
consistent and do everything in whichyou're supposed to do, you'll feel,
like I said, an abundance amount ofgratitude when you do win in life.
because not every single day islike sunshine and rainbows and
you win, things happen, right?
(40:58):
Things deter you off the path.
But that's why I have this program andmy program to restructure me back to
alignment, because at the end of theday, no matter what happened, I can lay
my head down on the pillow and rest easyknowing that I gave everything and I
gave my all into the day with all I did.
because that cliche quote goes,how you do one thing is how you
(41:19):
do everything, but it's so true.
Yes.
Yeah.
I agree with you.
John, how can people reach you?
Any listeners?
How can they contact you?
Kimble fit.
com on my website and Kimbleunderscore fit on Instagram.
I'm always on Instagram, like 24 seven.
That's where I do my posts, myearly wake up and everything.
(41:40):
I haven't missed a post on Instagram,like a story post with my early wake up.
Then I think 560 days going now.
Oh you're so inspiring.
I bet there's many people who will belistening to this and going, man, I wish
I had his wisdom back at 18 years old.
Gosh, life would have turned out sodifferently, but it's never too late.
(42:03):
What age range do you?
range do you typically deal with?
Like you talked about olderguys contacting you, do you
work with anyone and everyone?
I do.
Yeah.
people at my age and peoplelike in their 50s and 60s.
I mean i've had 50 year old clientsThat's actually that was my first
clients ever starting out was justolder people, way older people like
(42:24):
that Like I was a anesthesiologist.
I just I don't know like recentlytrained and she was in her
50s so it's a lot of people.
I actually like and prefertraining older people.
Cause you can really, I don't know.
It's just, it's always a deeper problemwith them, especially like that.
They're really plagued with it startsoff juvenile or something like just
(42:45):
wanting to get their body right.
And then it's really like aconfidence issue or something
that they're dealing with and it'soh, so that's why you started.
yeah, it's like the onion, isn't it?
You're peeling back the layersuntil you're getting to the
crux of what's really going on.
And once you address that, that'swhen you can have those massive
changes and transformations.
(43:06):
Hey, John, what an absolute pleasureit has been to get to know you today.
to hear your story, to hear just theincredibly inspiring way that you look
at life, even though you freely admitthat it's not a piece of cake for you.
You don't wake up Mr.
I'm happy, and everything's going well.
(43:28):
That it is an effort every single day.
And I think that takes courageand strength in my book.
And so I'm so grateful to have youspeaking to us today and as a guest.
Oh, thank you.
And yet that, Oh my gosh, you saidthat was like a gem right there because
it's always earned, like if everythingpositive in this life was just given
to us, it would be so simple and easy.
(43:49):
But it's, we get it's positivityand it's a higher frequency because
it's earned, we always start.
I like a neutral state or a lowstate, but we have to do the actions
and partake in everything thatgets us to an even higher one.
So that's why I do my earlywake up and I don't miss.
And I do my workout because it's earned.
I have to earn that gratitude andthat positive mental state in the
(44:10):
morning because nobody wakes up likehappy go lucky every single morning.
no.
what can I say?
What a privilege to haveyou as a guest today.
And I'm certainly hoping that ourlisteners really get a lot of value from
this because what you've done is takenthings back to the grassroots level
and, let's just discipline ourselves.
(44:32):
Let's just commit to things.
Let's be accountableand let's look within.
Rather than without,rather than externally.
yeah, great to have you on thebeautiful side of grief, John.
I thank you so much for lettingme come on and push the message.
When everything's not going right, Ijust, like I say, if it doesn't matter if
(00:04):
hell's happening on the external world,if I internally create this peace within
myself, then everything's going right,Like, it doesn't matter what situation
I'm in, as long as I hold my word tomyself, stay accountable to myself.
And what I set out for myself.
And actually build that confidencethrough the work I put in because the
(00:24):
more work you put into yourself, themore worth is provided, So if you don't
like people invest a lot in, theirvehicles, their jobs and all this stuff,
but they fail and they have a lack ofwork ethic towards their inner self.
So if they really work on their selvesand they'll gain the confidence they're
looking for, So that's pretty much,yeah, that's pretty much what I do
(00:53):
Welcome to the beautiful side of grief.
And today I'm talking to a youngguy, John Kimble, who really
ventured on the wrong side of life.
He wanted to be a gangster.
He had no remorse aroundthe things he did.
He robbed houses, sold drugs, hadaddictions, had attempted suicide
a couple of times, had multiplefelonies, and eventually ended up in a
(01:15):
psych ward, diagnosed as a sociopath.
That's some super heavystuff to go through.
Yet, He turned that all around to nowhaving his own fitness center, Kimble
Fit, and his mission now is to helpothers find the life they want through
the same means that he helped himself.
(01:37):
What a transformation atsuch an incredibly young age.
So let's get into it andsee just how he did that.
Hey John, great to bechatting with you today.
Hey, thank you for having me.
All
You're so welcome.
we were just having a quick chatbeforehand, before we went on air, and
I was just telling you how impressedI am that at such a young age, you've
(02:01):
been through so much, but you've alsomanaged to turn your life around.
So, really excited tobe talking about that.
But you really put yourself throughthe wringer in your younger days.
can you tell us what yourearly home life was like?
was like, where you grew up, your mother,father, siblings, that type of thing,
just to give us a sort of foundation.
(02:22):
Yeah.
now this is crazy, right?
I always say this is that I grew upin a very Like good raised home like
a christian based home my parents andeverything really raised me on the right
side And did everything they could notevery parent is perfect, but they did
everything they could they did pretty goodraising me, but I just got deterred down
the wrong path because of just influence.
I was just influenced by the wrong people.
(02:44):
I was influenced by drug dealersand all this stuff, and ultimately
that led to gang violence and likethe life of crime, robbing, but it
all led and all stemmed from gettingdrugs, that's what we wanted to do.
we had to get money to get that.
So that's where it really came, became aproblem, and that's where the depression
led and all that stuff was the drug.
(03:04):
like I said, I was raised in avery good home and it was just that
negative influence that deterred me.
That's so good to know, becauseso often we think, okay, you had
to have had a really dysfunctionalchildhood, to go down that path.
But really, it was just theallure of the gangsta life, eh?
What was it about that,that really attracted you?
(03:28):
Well, the person that, so the littlebrother of, it was like the biggest
known drug dealer in the city, hislittle brother, I was friends with him.
And there'd be kids that would try tostart stuff at school, but he would
always stick up for me and stand up forme so I'd always felt a bond with him.
So I just started hanging around him.
And especially at that age,it's so easily influenced,
(03:50):
What age were you?
was like, at that time, probably like14, 15, that's where it really started.
and then yeah, and then that'swhere we started like stealing
it started off with simple stuff.
You know just like stealing from theteachers and whatnot something stupid
like that And then it started out withthe ended out with the houses and all that
So what was the reality ofthat life once you got into it?
(04:12):
Was it what you expected and howdid it make you feel as a person?
No, it's exactly what I expected Iactually wanted to go to jail and
all these places right but the momentthat I actually got into something
like that I realized that it wasn'twhere exactly I wanted to go.
like the moment .I actually was admittedinto the psych unit, I did massive
(04:32):
reflection because of the isolationI was in and I really saw all the
pain I was causing to everyone else.
And ultimately that reallywas a deterrence for me
continuing down that path.
That's when I really realizedthat I didn't want to go down that
path, because everything that weexternally give on to others read
and really receive right back to us.
So if we give out negativity, thinkingthat it only affects us, it affects
(04:54):
everyone else just as much, if not worse.
So I saw how much it wasaffecting my parents.
And then that really made me notwant to continue down that path.
See that's a big thing to have that typeof introspection at such a young age.
So let's just go back a step.
Was it in the psych ward that youwere diagnosed as a sociopath?
(05:14):
Is that where that diagnosis came from?
And Can you just, just elaborateon that for our listeners that may
not know exactly what that means?
Yeah, of course.
So they wanted to do thatbecause of how heavily addicted
I was to alcohol at the time.
They even put me in a isolated roomaway from everyone because they
wanted to watch over me and monitorme and it's just, Symptoms like that.
(05:38):
Then I believe that I wasn'ta sociopath at the time.
I just participated in actions thatwas sociopathic, you know, like we're
not labeled these mental illnesses.
We just partake in actions thateventually lead up to something like it.
So I was doing that, in the criminalactivity, getting arrested, having
a lack of empathy, a lack of, theysay they don't have any conscience,
but everybody has a conscience.
(05:59):
Like I said, it just gets lost in someplaces from ignoring it from so long.
That eventually leads down the pathof that and then yeah That's what they
wanted to diagnose me with but trulydeep down inside I knew I wasn't that but
they wanted to give me these therapistsfor it and these meds and all this.
And like I always say likethey wanted to give me all of
that But I didn't I refused it.
(06:21):
I refused it at the time because ofcourse I was my mindset was juvenile
But the moment I got out I got hookedback on all this stuff and I was coming
off of a bad hangover and that was likea pinnacle moment of my life where I
learned and I really implemented thethings that I still use now was just my
self talk like peak physical performance.
I just right after I woke up off of thatcouch from a hangover, I went and run.
(06:45):
I just ran until I couldn't anymore.
And I had self talk that was justlike undeniably strictly aligned with
the person that I wanted to become.
And that helped me more then the therapistand the pills and all this stuff ever did.
And the rehab, they even wanted meto send me there but the only thing
that really helped me was trulybeing honest and accountable for my
(07:05):
internal feelings, what I was feeling.
cause I was like, depressionis just a common problem.
So did all that come from that timeyou spent in reflection and isolation?
Was that really what started the ballrolling to you deciding that actually
you needed to change your life up,you needed to have a different focus.
(07:26):
Yeah, that's exactly what did it.
because when you travel alone, youreflect more, so the moment I was alone
and thoughts really started to seekin and I wasn't relying on an external
source for an internal problem, like Ireally sought deep within internally.
And then me reflecting on all theproblems in the past and all the
pain I caused, that's what, like yousay, really allowed me to change.
(07:47):
Yeah.
So again, it's such a big thingthat you're talking about and doing,
because I guess there are manypeople that think in their head,
okay, I want my life to change.
And then they say, get out and theygo right back to where they were.
same habits, same people,same friends, and that.
How did you resist the temptation to getdrawn back into that lifestyle again?
(08:13):
Yeah.
So the moment that I actually said I wasgoing to quit and then I did, and I threw
everything away in the trash and I gotit, I got everything back out the trash
right after, because I never really had apersonal development process to strengthen
me above John Kimble above that.
so now I have a process, let's just sayIntense physical action that really,
it really gets your heart rate going.
(08:34):
And it leaves alleviates you fromany negative vices or temptations
that you had once before.
So I just got around the right group ofpeople and I had actions, habits, and
a mindset change that really aligned meto the person that I wanted to become.
right when that motivation strikesyou to be a better person, that's
when you have to act on it and createlike a goal plan and action plan.
(08:55):
It really set out habits.
Like little habits, not huge ones thatyou get discouraged by, like right off
the bat, little ones that over timebuild up to something a amountful.
So that's what I did.
And that's really what changed everything.
Yeah, one step at a time.
Just step, step, step.
Be prepared to go back a coupleof steps and then try it all
(09:16):
again and just keep going forward.
is that what you're saying?
Yeah.
Had
Yes.
That is exactly what I'm saying,because people burn out when they throw
everything at themselves at once, So themoment that I threw the things away and
I actually had a personal developmentprocess to strengthen me and to have,
to replay, I re the only thing I didwas replace something of a lower nature
with that of a higher nature, right?
(09:37):
So instead of the external source,like the drugs and alcohol I used,
let's just say running and burpees andself talk and stuff like this, stuff
like mindset changed my early wake up,my morning reflection on everything.
I regret that I replacedthat with devices.
And then that changed my lifebecause I was far projecting
towards something in the future.
(09:58):
So I never really was pastregressing towards anything
that was ailing me in the past.
always had this type of mindset?
Because it sounds like once youcommit to something, you're all in.
Yeah, I know.
I always have.
Even when I got arrested, the copwas like, man, I've never seen a kid.
We've never had this.
it's very rare that somebodydoes all this at once.
(10:19):
usually they built up on chargesover time, but you just did it all at
once, So it's really, yeah, if I dosomething that I'm going like all out.
Yeah,
in my
just Yeah.
And that's fantastic.
We're going to talk to that in a minute.
But, let's go back, because what Ireally want to understand is, I read
(10:43):
that you had a spiritualist experiencein the midst of all of this as well.
Is that correct?
And if so, what was that like?
what sort of, how did that come to you?
a spiritual experience.
so there is many times where I've hadlike the aha moments during, throughout
(11:03):
my journey, but I never really actedupon it because a lot of people do have
those moments where they want to change.
But like I said, they never create anygoal or action plan to really stick to
over time, but yeah, the spiritual moment,there was one actually, when I got out
the psych ward, like I said, when I wasin there, I reflected a lot and I saw
the pain I was causing, but when I gotout, even when I got out, although I
(11:27):
had that mindset, I still, went back anddrew back to the vices and everything.
The moment that, like I said, Ireplaced that of a lower nature of
a higher nature and really had thoseactions that aligned strictly to the
person that I wanted to become in thefuture, that's when it all changed.
when I actually stuck to the habits.
Because once you see like resultsfrom the little like monotonous
(11:49):
tasks that you're doing, then that'swhen the motivation comes as well.
I just want to drill down into that,because there are a lot of people
that say they want to change, andthey want to do something, but what
you're doing is saying that whenyou had time to reflect, this is it.
When you had time to reflect, youcould see all the harm and the pain and
(12:14):
have remorse for what you were doing.
Now, that's really insightful becauseI know a lot of adults today that are
still busy blaming everything externally,it's their family, it's their work,
it's their fitness, it's their illness,it's whatever they want it to be.
But really, I think the truthtransformation starts to happen is
(12:36):
when you start taking accountabilityfor it, which is exactly what you did.
So I think, just from a personalperspective, that's where
that catalyst for change came.
But what.
What do you say to people whoare still making up excuses or,
(12:58):
looking externally to change?
yeah, you can't exist on an externalsource for an internal problem.
like I started blaming others for myproblems, but really the only thing
and the only person that I actuallyneeded to blame was my own self,
for all my fck ups and everything.
that's what I needed to change.
And.
(13:19):
Every time when I thought that I would,that it was everyone else's problem.
Like I thought I was perfectly fine,but the moment I started blaming myself,
that's when I saw the change around me,like I actually took accountability.
That's what I say.
I looked in the accountability mirror,like I looked in an actual mirror,
but people just need to look reallylike internally within themselves and
see and hold themselves and accepteverything they're doing wrong.
(13:41):
Because actually.
like a frequency chart on online, it'llshow acceptance is one of the highest.
it's one of the top ones on there becauseonce you accept everything that's wrong
with you, you get massive clarity becauseyou actually had enough courage to say
that, oh, I am dealing with this, andthen, I, I am the source of my problems.
(14:02):
This is really stemmingfrom me, not anyone else.
And then, you'll realize that thesource of your problem, or the solution
to your problem, exists within you.
instead of, like I said, seekingexternally for advice to solve
it internally, you just seek deepwithin, and it'll really reflect.
So I'm really grateful that youexplained that in a bit more
detail for people to understand.
(14:23):
How old are you now, John?
I'm 18.
I just turned 18, 31st of October.
Okay, so how long have you beenundergoing this transformation for?
like two years, about two years, twoand a half years, two, three years.
it's crazy because once you reallytranscend self, like once you
(14:44):
really, like I was addicted, right.
I was going on the wrong path,but I was so disciplined and
dedicated on the wrong path.
So the moment I switched over tothe right one, then that's where
everything changed in my life.
like that's whereeverything just transformed.
But it's also that incredible levelof awareness that you've got at
your age that I find so incredible.
I talk to a lot of people and, somepeople have taken late into life to
(15:08):
start having these realizations thatactually it all comes from within.
it's taking ownership.
You're responsible.
You're at the helm for your life.
And indeed it took me a long time.
that's what I find incredibleabout you and your story.
Tell us about what some of thebig challenges were for you.
(15:29):
I know you were committed tochanging your life and just getting
into it and doing it day by day.
But were there some challenges thatyou had to overcome in that process?
Did
Yeah, of course.
There's many challenges, especially,on the start of the personal
development journey, there's alwaysis because it's juvenile at first.
(15:50):
And the T this, the temptationsand desires always still seek in.
So that's why you can't quit justbecause you gave up one time.
Doesn't mean that you have tolike the rest of the days, just
because something in the morning.
messed up or deterred that mindsetdoesn't mean that you have to have that
off mindset for the rest of the day.
But the things I did was I took those,I took that adversity as a lesson, as
(16:14):
opportunities to actually reflect on whereI messed up and take it as an opportunity
for growth and to better myself.
Because like I said, I actually was justtalking about this instead of exploiting
my strengths, like I really exposed myweaknesses to reflecting on what I regret.
That's what I do in the morning.
Like I do my morning reflection afterthe gym and I'm like, what did I not
(16:35):
do yesterday that I was supposed to do?
Or, who could have, who couldI have helped that I didn't?
Like, I really reflect on that.
And then that's where Ireally can see all the flaws.
In my character instead of, likeI said, focusing on my strengths.
you have the desire to set up yourKimble fit, company right from the
(16:57):
get go, was that one of your goalsor did that just come along as you
started this journey of gettingyourself fit and on the right track?
Yeah, that just came along like I justpeople saw me change and then they asked
me Everything about what I was doingand then they came to me with their
problems and I was like, oh, let me makea website like where I can just exploit
(17:21):
all my knowledge on wisdom on there.
And that's where I Like still on mywebsite to this day, I have those blogs,
my first blogs that I ever posted,because all I wanted to do was just
create a website to help people togive them like free value and to really
help them with their problems becausethey always ran to me with theirs.
So I was, and it always felt goodgiving back, like I said, everything
(17:41):
in which we want to internally receive,like we externally give onto others.
So that's really where it came from.
I didn't even know youcan charge for this stuff.
I didn't even know.
I just did it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that sense of giving.
I one thousand percent agree with you.
There's no better feeling than helpingsomebody or giving something freely
(18:01):
without any expectation in return.
What were some of the key things, problemsthat people were coming to you with?
actually the first person that everreally came to me was something,
oh, it was something like a moneyproblem they were struggling with,
but it was like really deeper within.
It was something about how hedidn't have enough money to buy his
(18:22):
little brother a Christmas presentor his mom a present or something.
And even though it seems like .Verylittle and juvenile like it really
saw deeper within I don't know hisparents got a divorce or something and
he was coming to me with his problems.
And you know I just gave him somemoney and gave him some like gems
and knowledge that I used and wisdomto help him and then He was I he's
(18:43):
been following me like ever sincethen and he's just been so attached
to me because i've always helped him.
And just to see like that impactthat you can cause on someone's life
And for example, the like last weeksomebody called me and said They just
got admitted into a psych unit as well,
and they were thinkingabout taking their life.
And he called me because he said he's 30.
No, he's 50 something years old.
And he's it's crazy that I'm callingan 18 year old, for this stuff.
(19:06):
But man, it's just a special connection.
Like I just feel something, becauseyeah, I have so much knowledge and
wisdom that I've gained over the years.
Like he knows that I know some, Iknow some shit because I've been
through like what he's going through.
So I shared it and I helped him.
and it's always those calls thatrealign you with what you're
really supposed to do in life
Yeah.
Yeah, you've definitely are an old soul.
(19:29):
You feel like you've just, jumpedonto this journey and taken it by the
reins and just really charged ahead.
So what are you trying to do withyour fitness with Kimble Fit?
what is the purpose and the goals of this?
is to just reach, like changethe world person by person,
like one person at a time.
(19:49):
Get them, physically fit, like reallytrack their macros and training
because that's what I did first.
To change everything in my life, likethe first thing I ever did was get my
like nutrition and training, right?
Like every time it felt like when I had tochange my life, I was like, Oh, I got to
start tracking and training my nutrition.
Like every time when I started tochange my life, it felt like that
(20:11):
was the first thing I needed to do.
So that's where it really camefrom as well, because that's like a
gateway to this discipline and thishigh frequency mindset that I always
preach about like high frequency.
if people don't knowwhat that is, it's just.
Really elevating your mental status to away more positive one through something.
let's just say if you're avoidingsomething and you run into it, or
(20:31):
if you do I always preach aboutlike intense physical action.
If you do burpees and if you get yourblood oxidation level moving, then you
get in what I call a higher frequency,but you get that like dopamine and all of
that rush and you really push past all thenegative vices and desires that you were
plagued with and you just only see thepositive outlook of the problem instead
(20:52):
of dwelling on the negatives of it.
And that's what that mindset, likegroup call that I have after every
week on my program, that's what themindset training and nutrition is about.
So that's pretty much what Kimble Fit is.
It's just getting themmentally and physically right.
But some people just wantto get physically right.
it's, but it always leads tosomething mental, it's always a
deeper problem within, but yeah.
(21:15):
Yeah.
And We're in a, an age where everythingcan be done online So have you set
your business up so that you canhelp people anywhere in the world?
Yeah, I even had clients in India.
it's like I just get them intothe app, and we can still have
the group call and all that stuff.
Or if they want to work one on one,I have that too, Because I just, it's
(21:37):
just really going in depth with theirproblems and really finding the solution.
But yeah, it's everywhere thatit's the informational age.
Everything's online.
Like you said,
Yeah, I heard this great definitionof anger today and it was like
the emotional punishment you giveyourself for someone else's behavior.
and I thought to myself,yes, that is so good.
(22:00):
Are you dealing with a lot ofthose emotions within people?
Because I often find people arenot aware of their emotions.
They just have these bursts ofanger or frustration or, I don't
know, you could just about name anyemotion and people don't realize
where they're even stemming from.
So do you have much ofthat you're dealing with?
(22:21):
And if so, how, what areyou recommending to people?
yeah, I actually wake uplike all the time negative.
And every time when I think I have myducks in a row and let's just say my
ego's running rampant or something, andthen something happens and it always
knocks me off course, I'm like, Oh shit.
But I just realized that.
(22:42):
This is what I tell myself.
I tell myself that, Oh,I'm nobody in this life.
All I am is a vessel thatneeds to give to everyone else.
But that's what I alwayspreach in my program.
And that's why I have this system thatno matter what happens or no matter
what's plaguing me on the inside, likeany negativity, anger, or whatever,
if I wake up negative, I run rightinto my personal development process,
(23:02):
which is like my early wake up, mymorning reflection and my workout.
And that always realigns meto a more positive mindset.
And I'm not really dealing with anynegative narratives of the past.
I'm not really played with anyanger, depression, or any of these
vices and temptations, because I'msolely focused on, like I said,
chasing that higher frequency.
Like existing outside thebounds and needs of your human
(23:26):
the body's existence, and you're reallyexisting within the soul of yourself.
So you're transcending to a higher level.
And like I said, you're just seeingthe world in a way, different way.
Like how we see the world externally isan internal perception and an internal
reflection of us, of how we see ourselves.
So if we, if everything's not going rightin our life, then we'll see the world
(23:48):
as nothing's going right in the world.
But if we really, truly likebetter ourselves and get
in that positive mindset.
Then everything in theworld is going right.
Yeah.
Also, too, I think that type of mindsetalso helps us cope with, all the chaos
that's happening in the world as well,because, there is so much chaos out there.
(24:09):
So you can choose to buy into that andlisten to it and immerse yourself in
it and get taken down with it, or youcan choose to stay at a higher level,
higher vibration, above it all andjust concentrate on what you can do.
Is that what you doaround that sort of thing?
(24:30):
Yes.
That's exactly what I do.
Like when everything's not goingright, I just, like I say, if it
doesn't matter if hell's happening onthe external world, if I internally
create this peace within myself, theneverything's going right, you know?
it doesn't matter what situationI'm in, as long as I hold my word to
myself, stay accountable to myself.
And what I set out for myself.
(24:51):
And actually build that confidencethrough the work I put in because the
more work you put into yourself, themore worth is provided, So if you don't
like people invest a lot in, theirvehicles, their jobs and all this stuff,
but they fail and they have a lack ofwork ethic towards their inner self.
So if they really work on their selvesand they'll gain the confidence they're
(25:11):
looking for, So that's pretty much,yeah, that's pretty much what I do.
Yeah.
So you've had a couple of brusheswhere you felt like you've
wanted to take your own life.
And what would you recommend to othersout there who are feeling the same
way that they feel like there's nopurpose, no direction, just to get them.
(25:33):
Snap them out of that mindset.
I was saying, somebody called me lastweek about that, how they were trying to,
and I was saying, and I always said hewas taking like these pills and stuff.
And I, that's what I was telling himto not truly rely, not truly rely on
an external source, to really seekdeep within internally and realize
(25:55):
that what you're dealing with islike a common as problem, right?
everybody, every like with depression.
and you're really beingselfish in that situation.
Like you really need to outwardly seeksomeone else's problem and go help
somebody else out with theirs and seehow you feel internally, you know?
because like you're solely focused, hewas solely focused and solely just truly.
(26:17):
Really diving deep in what he was dealingwith which is good, But still go help
someone else out with their problems andsee how it exponentially helps yours out
And just having it's either high frequencyor low frequency a person that's I
wasn't, let me say this, let me say this.
I was in the psych ward and therewas people, suicidal people and all
this, they try to take their life.
But the moment that they got into flowstate, the moment they got in like a
(26:41):
higher vibration, that's the moment whenevery, there was laughing and then all
this, there was talking about all thispositive stuff, this positive change.
It's you would have never even guessedthey would have been plagued with that
and they weren't at that point, Theyweren't depressed at that moment because
it was high frequency or low frequency.
It's either they're in a low frequencymindset where they do want to take
their life or they're in a highfrequency mindset where they don't,
(27:03):
and they're only existing insideeverything positive of that situation.
And that's pretty much it.
And it's just having those toolsthat realign you every time you do go
negative, and let's just say, let'sjust say it doesn't work, but over
time you build discipline that, overtime you build discipline that realigns
you with your best self, and you canreally stop yourself from going down
(27:25):
that negative thought process becauseof the discipline you build over
time from investing so much into you.
Yeah.
Just like you said, like everymorning you wake up with a negative
mindset and what you do is youcounsel yourself out of that.
You do the things that are going tolift you up and set your day up in
(27:46):
a way that, that you're only goingto be attracting those positive,
flow state type of experiences.
yeah,
Talk to me about grief.
Where have you seen grief in yourlife and how has that manifested?
And yeah, let's talkabout that a little bit.
grief is everywhere, you know It's in thefamily's losses and it's in it's even in
(28:09):
the psych units there's a lot of grief,you know with people and their families
and all this but really the thing isabout that is I take it as I just take it
as an opportunity to really look at thesituation and instead of coping with it
with, like I said, the external sources,like really run into it more because like
(28:29):
you just talked about how I'm dealingwith the anger or whatever when I wake up
with it, over time, just running into theanger instead of running away from it,
you build like calluses on your mind.
You build this like neurological pathwaythat lets you run into the situation in a
different way, in a different manner, Soif you look at that problem or the grief
(28:49):
and a third person point of view, andyou see everything that you can get from
it, like you react off of thoughts andlogics instead of feelings and emotions.
And it's okay to react off of feelingsand emotions at first, everybody
does, everybody's human, right?
But you don't stay that way.
you don't, stay that way year after year,of constantly dwelling on the problem.
eventually you're going to haveto run right into the solution.
(29:11):
life's too short to keep dwellingon what ailed you in the past.
So if you really have something to forwardproject you into the future, you're
never going to deal with any negativeor grief that's happened to you in the
past, because you're constantly stayingand solely focusing on something that's
forward progressing you in the future.
Like you're staying, working on something.
(29:32):
That's why personaldevelopment is so good.
Cause it's a never ending journey.
We're always working on something.
Yeah, that's really good information.
Really good analogy there.
talk to me about flow state,what does that feel like for
you, when you're in a flow state,describe for us how that feels.
(29:53):
it's probably the best feeling outthere because you're existing outside
the bounds of your wants and desires.
And you're existing within likeeverything that you should be.
You're not realizing time as it passes by.
That's what flow state is.
Like you're so intrigued andinvoked in what you're doing.
You're just flowing.
You don't realize what's happeningaround you because you're solely
(30:13):
focused on the thing in front of you.
So that's what, and it's just, it reallyputs you out of the mindset of what you
want and all these desires that you mayhave and all these like external sources
of validation that you're seeking.
And it really allows you to, it reallyallows you to just solely focus in on
(30:34):
what you're doing and have a positivemindset towards it and not really be
deterred by any negativity going onbecause you're just in flow state.
You're flowing.
That's what the high frequency is.
It's just flow state, even at a job orsomething like you can get in flow state
by self talk, by talking to yourself in adifferent way and different manner, Yeah,
I'm tired and shit, but I'm a crush it.
(30:55):
Like I'm even go harder today.
like that puts you in a flow state.
Yeah.
And that's often where you getsolutions to problems coming from.
They just magically appear, don't they?
It's just like coming out of theether, like you were just working
on something and then somethingwill pop into your mind and you go,
yeah, that's what I was looking for.
Yeah.
Talk to me now about theimportance of love in our lives.
(31:21):
Well, love is very important because itis, I look at it as like an emotional
thing of support, because my parentsshowed me love all the time when I was
going down the wrong path in life, whichreally helped me out, but there's a lot of
things that parents can do, but ultimatelyon the universe, when the universe puts
you down a path, like there's nothingthat you can actually do to that person.
(31:45):
But no, I always, and they didgave me a lot of compression.
That was the thing.
They didn't lie to me.
love isn't lies, So why would theydestroy, why would they give me
more comfort when comfort was thething that destroyed me in the first
place, and they didn't lie to me.
And that was really showingthat they truly loved me.
Like I tell my people all the time, peoplethat are letting themselves go around me.
I'm like, you know what?
My friends all the time, they're youngand they don't have this body that I have.
(32:10):
So I'm like, and I call them up, peoplethink it's, you're calling them out,
but really you're calling them up intoeverything in which they should be.
And even men out there like 30, 40,50 that are had that their habits
are not aligned with the future, orthe husband and father that they want
to become, you don't lie to them.
Like you actually express the truth.
dude, you have tits as a man.
this is not okay.
(32:31):
Like you're a dude and you have tits.
Like your child's going to be confused onwho to breastfeed off of because of this.
this is not okay.
Like you're, like this is, andit's just not lying to them.
Instead of being like, insteadof looking into yourself in the
mirror and saying, I love myself.
And if you truly don't love yourself,like you have to really be accountable.
And really be honest on why you don't andyou have to seek that problem and fix it
(32:54):
and just seek a solution that makes you dolove yourself instead of lying to yourself
You know, that's what true love is
Yeah.
Can you look in the mirror?
Tell yourself you love you.
No, I can't because i've listened tomy conscience over time and I just
know that whatever it tells me i'mdoing it that second right on the
moment and that really builds thattrue love for yourself you know.
(33:16):
Really sticking to your word as longas you just If you set out a goal or
if you tell yourself you're going to dosomething or your people you're going
to do something and if you do it Thenthat will equal an amount, an abundance
amount of love and self confidence.
Oh, I love that.
Who is the John Kimble now wholooks back at you from the mirror?
(33:36):
It's just the John Kimblenow that's in the mirror.
It's just, I don't even care who I am.
I just care about that I'm a vessel and Ihave, this message to preach and give out
to everyone else and it's just a person.
I'll just discipline confident.
that really sticks to his word and holdsthis word to himself because over time,
(33:57):
confidence is consistent implementation.
That's what confidence is a by productof, So if you just consistently implement
all these tasks, it'll eventually buildconfidence and that's who I see when
I look in the mirror, there's just aconfident individual that runs into
everything that's most hardest for him.
And over time that builds like anunbreakable mindset that I've created now.
(34:20):
And that's the energy you'reputting out to others too, isn't it?
Because that's what theyfeel when they're around you.
They feel that confidence.
They feel that love.
They feel that you've workedhard for what you're doing.
and I guess that, is ahuge inspiration to others.
What haven't we had a chatabout, John, that you would
(34:40):
like our listeners most to know?
It's probably like validating yourselfwith your own habits and actions, because
even though, like I've overcome whatwas most hardest for me, like seeing
people in my area, crushing it, right?
they're crushing it.
And I know I'm 18, but Icompare myself to the greatest
(35:03):
in my area, which is not good.
people should not compare theirlevel one to someone else's
level 20, chapter 20 in life.
Like I do everything that you canwithin that day to strengthen yourself.
And do everything that bring 110percent into that day, not really
seeing too far into the future, likebettering yourself 1 percent every day.
(35:24):
Like I said, planting those seeds,those little seeds that grow over
time and it eventually in the endit'll build into something big.
Just time, just day by day, like reallyworking on yourself, validating yourself
from within through your habits andactions, not seeking an external source
of validation from anyone else out there.
Even though it's hard to, because whensomeone tells us something that, or
(35:48):
when somebody tells us something thatthey're elevating way more in life
in than us, if we're doing everythingthat we possibly can to exceed in that
area, it's hard to not get discouraged.
However, that's why I have thisprocess and program because it realigns
me and my self talk realigns me toreally seek deep within and realize
(36:11):
that i'm doing all what I can withwhat I have now until I actually
get more in life so that's just it.
Comparing ourselves to others, Ithink that can be one of the most
soul destroying things to do.
Yeah, because, we each haveour own journey, our own
path, how that looks like.
maybe it's not our journey thislifetime to be the person who has
(36:33):
all the toys or everything like that.
And, Who's standard is that anyway?
like for me to surround myself withfriends and people I love being
with and to have that beautifulenergy and flow state is far more
important than any material thing.
yeah.
when you have to work out what it isfor you, that's important, don't you?
(36:54):
Hey, John, I'm going to finish upwith a couple of questions that
I ask everyone, on the podcast.
So what is the best thing thathas happened to you so far today?
was this the calls getting in the flowstate of course, I mean that's always
it's just realigning myself to the bestversion of myself, that higher frequency
(37:14):
through giving to others, everythingI wish to receive within myself,
Oh, I love that.
What is something thatyou are grateful for?
just breathing, like literally,if you, and that's the thing
that, that's the thing, right?
If people just.
stop and then calm their mind and reallylook back on what they're grateful for.
(37:36):
Oh, I can walk, like I can breathe.
Like I have this house to come,this home to come to and everything.
that's what's really.
Because we always forget at the endof the day, our minds are always
fogged by everything that we'refocused on in the future or something
in the past, but really we have tobe solely grateful on what we're
what we have now in the present.
I think people ,underestimate thepower of gratitude, don't they?
(38:00):
Because, when you take yourself back tothose simple things, it's a beautiful day,
hey, I've got hot running water and power.
life is good for me.
I've got a roof over my head.
Those sorts of
Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
And then nobody realized thatuntil everything's really
stripped away from them.
when everything's stripped away fromthem, especially, let's just say when
I was on the run and I would see thepolice cars past looking for me, I was
(38:24):
like, Oh my, I thought I was just gone.
I thought I was gonefor life or something.
I was, and everything was strippedaway from me at that moment.
And I had dinner with my family that nightand I was like, one of the best moments of
my life, just having dinner, like a, justa normal every night dinner for my family.
But the difference with that was,I wasn't in jail cell or anything.
I was sitting, just having a simplenice dinner with my family in a nice
(38:46):
home, and that was just like enough.
yeah.
It changes the wholeperspective, doesn't it?
When you're having moments in your daythat, are turning to custard, you've
set yourself up and then somethinghappens and it takes you off course,
how do you pivot out of those moments?
Yeah, it always happens.
yeah, it always happens, but I justdo what I just do what I can that day,
(39:07):
and I just keep sticking to the processand program that I laid out for myself.
So if I have something to do, I juststick to it, and that's the thing,
sometimes and every single day, we mightnot get that enlightening feeling or that
clarity that we get on most days, likesome days we don't get any, enlightening
or any high frequency moment, but wejust have to still stick and we have
(39:28):
to run into what will get us to a highfrequency even if we don't get it anyway.
Even if the feeling is vague at themoment, we still have to run into it
and we still have to consistently do it.
because when we do it, and when wedo get a higher frequency from it,
we'll regret on the time past beingthat we didn't follow through on
our word, so no matter how you'refeeling, you just still get it done.
(39:50):
And then over time that builds justan abundant amount of confidence.
Yeah.
It's living authentically, isn't it?
Standing by your word, having the courageto say no to people, say yes to people,
We take that for granted, but actuallyI think truly stepping into ourselves
and being the best we can possibly be,exactly as we are, as our personality.
(40:15):
That's a big thing, and I love thatyou're helping people to do that.
John, any other parting thoughts thatyou'd like to leave our listeners with?
no, that's pretty much, pretty muchit, you know, I mean, that's one of
the biggest things and the biggesttakeaways that I've learned, when things,
when things try to throw you off, youjust stay consistent, no matter how
(40:37):
you feel, you just keep doing them.
And then there's winningseasons and losing seasons.
You're going to go through, let's justsay a losing season, but if you stay
consistent and do everything in whichyou're supposed to do, you'll feel,
like I said, an abundance amount ofgratitude when you do win in life.
because not every single day islike sunshine and rainbows and
you win, things happen, right?
(40:58):
Things deter you off the path.
But that's why I have this program andmy program to restructure me back to
alignment, because at the end of theday, no matter what happened, I can lay
my head down on the pillow and rest easyknowing that I gave everything and I
gave my all into the day with all I did.
because that cliche quote goes,how you do one thing is how you
(41:19):
do everything, but it's so true.
Yes.
Yeah.
I agree with you.
John, how can people reach you?
Any listeners?
How can they contact you?
Kimble fit.
com on my website and Kimbleunderscore fit on Instagram.
I'm always on Instagram, like 24 seven.
That's where I do my posts, myearly wake up and everything.
(41:40):
I haven't missed a post on Instagram,like a story post with my early wake up.
Then I think 560 days going now.
Oh you're so inspiring.
I bet there's many people who will belistening to this and going, man, I wish
I had his wisdom back at 18 years old.
Gosh, life would have turned out sodifferently, but it's never too late.
(42:03):
What age range do you?
range do you typically deal with?
Like you talked about olderguys contacting you, do you
work with anyone and everyone?
I do.
Yeah.
people at my age and peoplelike in their 50s and 60s.
I mean i've had 50 year old clientsThat's actually that was my first
clients ever starting out was justolder people, way older people like
(42:24):
that Like I was a anesthesiologist.
I just I don't know like recentlytrained and she was in her
50s so it's a lot of people.
I actually like and prefertraining older people.
Cause you can really, I don't know.
It's just, it's always a deeper problemwith them, especially like that.
They're really plagued with it startsoff juvenile or something like just
(42:45):
wanting to get their body right.
And then it's really like aconfidence issue or something
that they're dealing with and it'soh, so that's why you started.
yeah, it's like the onion, isn't it?
You're peeling back the layersuntil you're getting to the
crux of what's really going on.
And once you address that, that'swhen you can have those massive
changes and transformations.
(43:06):
Hey, John, what an absolute pleasureit has been to get to know you today.
to hear your story, to hear just theincredibly inspiring way that you look
at life, even though you freely admitthat it's not a piece of cake for you.
You don't wake up Mr.
I'm happy, and everything's going well.
(43:28):
That it is an effort every single day.
And I think that takes courageand strength in my book.
And so I'm so grateful to have youspeaking to us today and as a guest.
Oh, thank you.
And yet that, Oh my gosh, you saidthat was like a gem right there because
it's always earned, like if everythingpositive in this life was just given
to us, it would be so simple and easy.
(43:49):
But it's, we get it's positivityand it's a higher frequency because
it's earned, we always start.
I like a neutral state or a lowstate, but we have to do the actions
and partake in everything thatgets us to an even higher one.
So that's why I do my earlywake up and I don't miss.
And I do my workout because it's earned.
I have to earn that gratitude andthat positive mental state in the
(44:10):
morning because nobody wakes up likehappy go lucky every single morning.
no.
what can I say?
What a privilege to haveyou as a guest today.
And I'm certainly hoping that ourlisteners really get a lot of value from
this because what you've done is takenthings back to the grassroots level
and, let's just discipline ourselves.
(44:32):
Let's just commit to things.
Let's be accountableand let's look within.
Rather than without,rather than externally.
yeah, great to have you on thebeautiful side of grief, John.
I thank you so much for lettingme come on and push the message.
