Hello.
Hello.
Welcome to mindset to results.
And today, our guest is Steve Gamlin.
He is a very interesting person because hehelps people to visualize what they want,
connect to their goals, make plan, and manifestwhat they see in their mind to be in their real
(00:25):
world, to become their reality.
Hi, Steve.
Hello, Elayna.
Thank you so much for inviting me.
I'm looking forward to our conversation.
You're most welcome.
This is my one of favorite topics, yeah, aboutbig vision, manifestation, and making plan and
making this plan to become real life.
(00:48):
Share, please, about yourself a little bit yourstory.
How did you come to this understanding aboutthe laws of manifestation and how you started
helping people to live lives of their dreams?
Well, I came into what I do and what I've beendoing for the past twenty years the best way
(01:09):
that I know how.
I completely destroyed my life about twentythree years ago.
I had enjoyed a very successful ten year radiocareer.
I was married at the time, and I was veryunhappy.
I was burned out.
I was frustrated.
I was exhausted.
And the reason I was doing what I was doing wasbecause now I'm 57 years old, so I've got a few
(01:31):
birthday candles ahead of you.
When I was 18 years old, my family told me, geta good education and a good job with good
benefits, put your head down and work for fortyfive years, and then at the end of it, you get
to enjoy your golden years.
And I worked way too many hours.
I was burned out, frustrated.
My first wife and I were not communicatingwell, and we're getting very frustrated.
(01:54):
And I was just exhausted.
And in a very short window of time around02/2002, I quit my radio career.
I went through a divorce, and I was tens ofthousands of dollars in debt at age 35 without
a full time job.
And I crawled home and lived with family for awhile to just lick my wounds and put myself
(02:15):
back together, and I started working with acoach who asked me, what do you wanna do?
And I remembered four goals I had when I was 11years old.
I wanted to be a radio DJ.
I wanted to be a stand up comedian.
I wanted to be an author of my own books, and Iwanted to be a teacher of people, but not in a
(02:36):
classroom.
I just wanted to help people.
And through a couple of things that happened tome in 02/2003, all of a sudden, I found myself
lined up to be able to do this, and I slowlylearned that it's more about what we want than
what other people tell us success is all about,and that's where the seeds of what I do today
(03:00):
started.
So I messed my life up in every area you canimagine, and then I rose out of the ashes like
a phoenix.
But the way I say it, my phoenix rides a pogostick, meaning I go up and back down and up and
back down.
I just try to fly higher every time and stopburning my tail feathers off, but that's how
I've learned, highs and lows throughout mylife.
(03:22):
Yes.
Yes.
And this is a and this is a really good tolearn.
Yes.
You have to good to have these inventions, haveto have ups and downs, and this is what makes
life really exciting and, not boring.
Yes.
Because what is the sense to live life whicheverything predicted?
(03:43):
Like, that moon, which starts well, everythingis good.
Then in the middle, everything is good,everybody happy.
And then at the end, again, everybody good.
Who would love to like, to go to watch thismovie?
That is no fun.
And I believe that this the essence of life isin this spirit to when we really have that
(04:06):
spirit for more, when we are not content withthe average, yes, just being average and just
living life as other people want us to live, asyou said.
And when we understand that we are here formore and when we are brave, bold enough to step
out and to searching and, like, checkingdifferent things.
(04:27):
Oh, is it good for me?
Oh, that is good.
Oh, that and this is the process how finally wewe find we find ourselves.
We find our patient.
We find who we we meant to be.
And when we find it, this is how our lifereally starts.
Yeah.
Like, where we really start to live becausefrom now on, we live our life.
(04:52):
We live the way how we want.
We live the way and do things which we enjoydoing, love to do.
And this is how we get results.
We feel fulfilled.
And this is how I feel that exactly what'shappened in your journey.
Yeah?
Mhmm.
Yep.
Exactly.
And and somebody asked me a while ago.
Actually, a number of people have asked methis, and they get very snotty it.
(05:15):
They say, well, what qualifies you to talkabout this?
You know, do you have a a certificate forcoaching?
Do you have a degree in this or that?
I said, you know what qualifies me?
And I used to have here in the recording studioa small chalkboard, and I wrote on it one day.
This guy lived it.
(05:35):
And I drew an arrow, and I put the arrow nextto my head.
I took a selfie, and I sent it to that person.
What qualifies me to teach this is because I'vecreated an amazing life now from where life
used to be very, very difficult.
Because I understood visualization andmanifestation and goals are more about who you
(05:55):
become than what you get.
Because so many people say, well, success ismoney in a private jet and a Lamborghini and
all that stuff.
What I suggest to people is figure out the bestversion of you and make that happen.
And maybe it's not super exciting likeskydiving or mountain climbing or anything like
that.
Maybe it's just being in an amazingrelationship and being in good health and and
(06:17):
taking all the steps it takes to get there.
So, yeah, I mean, we we become such a slave toeverybody else that I believe when we are doing
something that actually makes us happy, weshould be aware of that and be aware of what it
took to get there.
It's not all this death defying, crazy, highticket, big money things.
(06:39):
It's it's just being the best version of you,and that's I think that's one of the most
amazing goals that you can create is to reallyunderstand who do I want to be and what's it
going to take for me to get there.
Yes.
True.
Because everyone is so unique.
Everyone is so unique and has his uniquetalents and gifts.
(07:02):
Like a snowflakes, there are so many we don'teven know how many.
There is no number.
It's was snowflakes.
But you cannot find even one which will beduplicate of another one.
All are different.
And this is exactly people are different.
And we just condition to think the same.
(07:23):
Like, there are some cliches which are justimpressed in our mind and subconscious mind
since we are children, what is success means.
Yes.
Like, what prestige professions are, like, forexample, to be doctor or to be lawyer.
And and this is just how the society puts uponus different patterns.
(07:46):
Yes.
What is success?
What means like, how you should live?
How to be be successful?
Like, you have to have house, you have to havecar, and you have to show up, and you haven't
shouldn't be lower than your neighbor or yourfriends.
Right?
But if you go really to the essence of success,it is and happiness, it is so unique.
(08:07):
And success for everyone is totally different.
And instead of trying to fit yourself tosomebody else's pattern of success, as you
said, we have to find ourselves.
We have to study who we really are, who wereally, meant to be, and what we love to do,
(08:28):
who we enjoy to be with.
Yes.
And we have to start asking us ourselves.
And I think that studying and knowledge is soimportant.
And we have so much knowledge about differentthings, but nobody teaches us to study
ourselves who we really are.
(08:49):
Yeah.
A %.
And and so many people and I I love what yousaid about, you know, you don't wanna be less
than other people.
And one of the dangers of social media rightnow, oh my gosh, there are so many people out
there putting up this fake presentation of howamazing their life is.
And you and I both know because we're both inthis industry.
(09:12):
So many people out there have this fake wallwhere they want people to think they're
successful.
They want people to think they're powerful.
They want people to think that they're, justthis this highest level of living and enjoying
themselves.
But what we see year after year, some so manyof those people, especially the ones that call
themselves influencers, are so unhappy thatthey're they're just putting out this fake life
(09:39):
and they're trying to live up to it.
And after a while, they can't, and they comecrashing down.
And sometimes the results of that are very sadto watch when you see people crash down.
So I encourage people just be as real as youcan be where you are right now.
And and so many people say, well, I want more.
I want better.
(09:59):
I wanna be happier.
I wanna be healthier.
I want more money.
But they never actually take stock of wherethey are right now.
It's it's kind of like point a if you're doinga GPS or a Google Map.
You have to know where you are right now toknow what direction to take, to know where you
want to go.
So even though your life may not be perfectright now, if you're a mathematical person,
(10:20):
rate it on a scale of one to 10.
If you're a storytelling creative like I am,tell me a story about where your life is right
now, and don't say what it's not.
Say what it is.
Tell me what the good things are right now andthe things you'd like to improve.
And if you tell me where you wanna go, I canhelp to at least direct you or give you a
couple of ideas to get there.
(10:40):
But stop just thinking.
Everybody else knows what they're doing, andthey've got it all together, and they're all
everyone else but me is successful.
And understand that where you are right now,there's something really good about it.
It may not be perfect yet, but please stopfalling for this thing that other people are
putting out there of what perfection andsuccess are.
(11:02):
You've got it.
I mean, if you're listening to a show likeElena's, there's something amazing about you
because you know where to plug in to understandwhere you are now and where you wanna go.
And Elena brings in people that can help you toget there.
If our messages resonate with you, the two ofus together right now could help even just one
person to create something better in theirlives.
(11:25):
And to me, that's a big win right there.
Well, yeah.
Definitely.
And as you said, like, if people show somethingthat is fake, which is not them, it is really
hard.
It is really hard because they don't enjoy.
It is just being in this artificial loop allthe time and showing something that you are
(11:47):
not.
But we know according to the law that, we don'tget what we want or what we show.
We we get in life who we are.
Right?
So it is totally totally something that willnot bring any results.
(12:07):
It will just, lead to exhaustion, burnout, andlosing any any joy in what you do if you are
fake.
Because, people communicate not at the level ofonly visual things, images, or what they can
(12:28):
hear or smell, taste, and touch from fivephysical senses.
The mode of communication happens at thesubconscious level by our intuition when we
connect without even speaking.
We can meet somebody in just two second, and wejust feel already reconnected already.
(12:48):
We can speak for hours and nonstop, and we canlike, music, one instrument, another
instrument.
Yes.
Like, this, unison.
And other people, also, you can meet, and thenthe person can speak so good.
Everything is right.
But you feel that, no.
Something is wrong.
Like, you just want to get out of that.
(13:10):
Get me out of here.
I was like, yes.
And this is exactly like if the if people arenot real, if they don't really come to social
media with the right purpose.
And the right person for me is to really showpeople, is to really provide value and help
(13:31):
people.
Because we live in this crazy world now that Ibelieve that it is, like, two directions.
Yes.
Like, the river, which is the with this bigcurrent, yes, just takes people with it.
And if you don't understand these, principles,spiritual principles, universal laws, When you
(14:00):
don't seek for spiritual food, yes, like,really having value as this highest form of
creation with who we are.
Right?
Human beings, we're supposed to be highest formof creation and take care of everything else.
But, unfortunately, because people lost somesomewhere, there's this connection with gods,
(14:21):
connection with these values.
They just are taken by the river.
But we know that which fish goes with the flowof the river to the direction of the current.
Right?
Like, all the fish or sick fish, which cannotmove on the opposite direction.
So this is a lot of things here.
(14:43):
And, really, we want to just summarize what weshared.
Just be you.
You have so much.
You have unique talents and gifts.
And just think about it.
There is only one you in all the universe.
There was nobody like you, and there will benobody like you.
(15:03):
And just think about if you find your truevalue, what is given to you by God initially
when you were just born, already you had thatvalue, and your task is just to find it.
Find yourself.
Be true with yourself.
Be true with other people.
Find what you really love to do and startgrowing in that direction.
(15:25):
And you when you align with your goals, whenyou are true with yourself, you will start
attracting everything in your life, people,circumstances, different situation, which will
help you to grow and get where you meant to be.
Yes.
And this is how where you have to be honest.
Otherwise, you will just lose time and getnowhere.
(15:48):
Yeah.
And I I love so much about what you just said.
Oh my gosh.
And especially and I'll just start with the thelast part you said.
Being yourself and understanding your gifts.
And if you don't know what your gifts arebecause some people don't.
They just think, well, this comes very easilyto me, so there's nothing special about it.
(16:08):
Find some a good friend that you trust or maybea coworker or maybe a family member and ask
them, why do you hang out with me?
Why do you choose to be around me?
Why do you stay in touch with me?
Why are we connected?
You might just hear something pretty amazing.
Well, they this person may say, every time I'maround you, I feel better about myself.
(16:33):
I see how kind you are with other people,especially strangers.
Or if we're in a restaurant, I just see hownice you are to people.
I how smart you are.
You're an amazing problem solver, and you canget to the core of things right away.
And you may hear these things and not eventhink there's anything special about them.
And that's unfortunately, that's the problemwith a lot of people.
(16:53):
They have these gifts, and they don't thinkthey're very special because it comes so easily
to us.
So we don't think it really matters to otherpeople.
And that's an important thing and continue touse those gifts.
And too many people think they have to dosomething huge and change the world.
If you impact one person a day in a positiveway, that's gonna send a ripple out into the
(17:17):
universe.
And it's just it's a ripple of good energy.
And you never know how far the ripples go.
You may have had a conversation with somebodyten years ago, Elena.
And all of a sudden, you run to that personagain, and they may say, Elena, do you remember
the day you said this to me?
And you may not, but just nod your head and sayyes anyway.
Yes.
(17:37):
And they'll say, you know, I I was goingthrough a tough time, and you shared that
positivity with me that day.
You believed in me.
You cheered me on, and I just wanna let youknow that that changed my life that day.
That was the day that the ripple started, andhere's what I've done.
And about now, gosh, twelve years ago, Istopped at a grocery store in between meetings,
(18:01):
and I was walking down the cereal aisle.
I had to get some breakfast bars.
And a gentleman walked past me, and he turnedaround.
He said, hey, man.
You're that speaker.
Right?
And I turned around, and we're the only two inthe aisle.
I said, yes, sir.
I'm a speaker.
What do you remember?
He told me one of my stage stories, the picturethat had been up on the screen with the slide,
(18:22):
the lesson of the story, and how he had appliedit a week after that presentation to get
himself a job.
See, it was a a group of people who were out ofwork, and I was brought in to kind of cheer
them up, cheer them on, and give them somepositivity.
And I said, oh my gosh.
You remembered all of that.
And he says, yeah, man.
It changed my life.
(18:43):
And I asked him, how long ago was that?
And he went, oh, jeez.
Three years.
So me just doing something I love to dopassionately, being on a stage, encouraging
people, connecting with people, sharingpositive lessons that they could use in their
life, he took one, put it in his pocket, usedit a week later, had a positive experience in
(19:04):
his life, saw me three years later, and reachedout and said how much it made a difference to
him.
We all have gifts like this.
So please do not devalue yours just because youthink they're not that valuable or it's easy.
There's nothing special about it.
There's something very special about youlistening right now.
(19:27):
So please understand that and use them everysingle day in some way to do what I call I
leave a trail of plus signs behind me all day.
I try to just have positive interactions andexperiences with people or even just on social
media.
I make sure when I go to social media, I leavesomething positive for people and not just
complaining or being negative because I neverknow where those plus signs and those ripples
(19:51):
are going to go.
So what you just said about people recognizingtheir gifts is so valuable.
Yes.
Of course.
Thank you, Steve, for your feedback.
Yes.
We have amazing conversation now.
And what else I wanted to say that no oneshould compare themselves to anyone because it
(20:13):
is always somebody better.
Right?
Like, it is always, like, a lot of differentfrequencies.
Right?
Unlimited number of frequency, and there isalways one frequency down and one frequency up.
Right?
This you cannot say this box, for example,small or this box big because the in comparison
(20:33):
with what?
That box is big in comparison with small one,but in comparison with another big box, it is
small.
And so if we just, understand that we have theour values and we have our life, and our task
in this life is to find who we really are, whatis our genius, because everyone is was born
(20:58):
with g with some genius, with something strong,some strength, which if they develop those
strengths, they will be very successful.
Yes.
And the world needs that, what everyone has.
So it is good to just watching in the mirror.
Just watch you to yourself and appreciate whoyou are.
(21:20):
Appreciate what you have, that you have eyes tosee yourself.
You have ears.
Yes.
Hands and everything.
And just being from this greater gratitudeenergy and to start asking yourself, what do
you really want to do in this life?
What makes me happy?
What makes me fulfilled?
(21:40):
What really I love to do?
And when you stand contemplating on this, andit is good to do it in the quiet room when
there is no distractions.
Just sit twenty minutes or you can start eventen minutes and have no thoughts.
Just just cut all those distractions, all thosethoughts, and ask yourself only one question.
(22:04):
What do I want?
What do I really want?
Because it is it is ridiculous.
People are busy, busy, busy.
And if you stop them in the street, and thenthen ask, what is your goal?
Do you have really big goal?
They will look at you and say, what do youmean?
Like, okay.
I have some task to do.
But this is not about task.
(22:26):
It is really something big that you want toachieve, what will really make you fulfilled,
successful, excited.
You will know that you created so much value.
What is that?
So ask start asking yourself this questionbecause without answering to this question,
there is no sense of anything what you do.
(22:46):
It doesn't make sense.
You just I like that squirrel squirrel in thechoco.
Yes.
On on treadmill.
Just running.
You think that you are running, but you are inthe same spot.
You're not running towards your greatness,towards your talents to develop which are given
to you.
And if you don't develop them, what is given toyou, you will not be happy.
(23:08):
You will not be satisfied.
You will not feel fulfilled.
Even if you are busy all the day, you will beexhausted, and you will not be happy.
This is the secret of happiness, to findyourself, find what you love to do, be
inspired, be excited, grow every day, andsurround yourself with like minded people.
And this is what happiness for me.
(23:30):
Yep.
This is what makes me fulfilled.
What about you, Steve?
What makes you fulfilled?
I I love the examples that you give.
Oh my we're we're playing a game of volleyballright now, and you just keep hitting it over
the net perfectly.
And I hit it back, and you hit it back, and andI love this this energy back and forth.
For me, to to feel that way is to and and youmentioned the treadmill about just going over
(23:55):
and over and over and moving, but not reallygetting anywhere.
A lesson I learned early on about beingfulfilled and finding the best version of
myself was setting goals in all areas of mylife.
So it's not just money, and it's not justsuccess or material things.
It's who do you wanna be, how will you feelfulfilled in your physical health, in the
(24:18):
emotions that you feel on a regular basis, inyour closest relationships, in the core values
that guide all of your thoughts, your words,and your actions, in your faith.
That's kind of the same thing, but the powercomes from a different direction, whatever you
choose to believe in.
And in your connection with people in realways, there's so much loneliness and isolation
and depression and addiction out there becausepeople feel disconnected.
(24:41):
And then you're working your money.
Now if you just think of one goal at a time anddon't think it's gonna come just like that.
Now I like roller coasters, like, the amusementpark.
I like the old wooden roller coasters, thereally old ones.
Any one of your goals, if you wanna feelfulfilled and happy, think of one of your goals
(25:02):
in one area of your life, and that's at the topof that first hill.
Now you have to start off at the bottom at theparking lot level like everybody else.
And you another thing you mentioned is youwanna surround yourself with the right people.
So you invite those people around you.
Because who wants to sit on a roller coasterlistening to somebody complain the whole way?
(25:23):
So you start there, and you keep an eye on thatgoal at the top of the hill.
And every day, you just take one step.
Click.
Click.
Click.
Click.
You can't start halfway up.
You can't skip any steps.
You have to do all the work to get there.
And sometimes it might feel like you're stilljust on a treadmill not getting anywhere.
But what I encourage my clients to do, everyonce in a while, look over your shoulder and
(25:45):
realize you're a lot higher up than when youstarted, and you're getting closer and closer.
You may not feel closer yet, but not only areyou getting closer to achieving the goal, but
you're becoming the right person who's gonnaappreciate and be grateful for all the work
you've done to get to that goal.
So just keep every day, keep your eye on whatyour goals are and think, what one thing can I
(26:09):
do today?
What one person can I connect with?
What one thing could I learn?
What one task do I need to get done to getcloser to that and not be distracted by just
being busy, but understanding what's gonna getme closer to this goal today.
That to me is how you create success.
Because when you've done all the steps and youachieve it, what happens on the other side of
(26:31):
that hill?
You don't have to do any more work.
You just hang on and enjoy the ride celebratingall the work that you did.
And when you get to the end, if you screamedand cried and got excited and your eyes are
really, really big, if you really enjoyed it,first thing you wanna do is get back in line
and go on again, set your next goal, and do thesame pattern.
If your goals just come to you like that,you're probably not going to grow as a person
(26:56):
enough to maintain the victories and to keepcelebrating and keep becoming your best self.
Yeah.
So true.
Why we need the big goals?
Because it is the process, and it is not evenabout, what we get at the end of going there.
(27:17):
It is about who we become.
Because it again, we get in life who we become.
That is why the goal big goal is needed for usto get us excited, is to give give us that
inner inner fuel.
Yeah.
Inner fuel that will give us energy because wehave to be inspired with with that goal.
(27:43):
Yes.
And the the of who we become every day when wedo these steps and move forward.
And this is the the process is most importantbecause once you get there, you will attract
everything that it will match to who you are.
(28:04):
Right?
That your new identity.
You we when you create your new self image, youbecome new person.
You will never been again that person.
When you look back, you will tell, oh, like, itis how I could do that?
How I could live like that?
I don't recognize myself anymore.
I don't I would not, like, live even one daylike that.
(28:27):
So you you make such a huge transformation thatyou don't recognize yourself anymore.
And this is why big goals are really important.
Because if you just set small goals and youachieve them and set small goals, there is no
growth in that.
It is nothing.
You just stay in the same place.
(28:47):
But when you set big goals, which scare youfrom one side and from another side inspire
you, and you don't know how you will get there,but you really want and you're ready to do
whatever it takes, and you get the steps everyday, you go out of your comfort zone.
You face all the fear and doubt and don'tanymore.
(29:08):
And this is how you break through, and this ishow that this process of transformation happens
when you become a totally different person.
Yep.
And you said something earlier that was soperfect.
You talked about your senses becoming moreaware of opportunities that are out there.
And that's something that I suggest to all thepeople that I work with and all of my audiences
(29:29):
and my listeners is, I first start to ask them,what do your goals look like?
And they start to describe the goals.
I said, okay.
What do they feel like?
Go.
What do you mean?
I said, what will it feel like when you achieveit?
And if it's a physical thing, what does it feellike?
What are the textures?
And and what's it feel like to actually holdthis?
(29:49):
And they'll start to describe it a little, andthey'll be a little you know, they don't quite
know where I'm going.
I said, okay.
What does it sound like?
And then they they start to tell a littlestory, and I go, okay.
Now here are the final two.
What do your goals taste like, and what do theysmell like?
And that's when they just start laughingbecause they don't know.
Like, what do my goals smell like?
(30:10):
And I say, what you need to do is understandthe person you're gonna need to become to get
there, but also tell me the stories about howthese things are all gonna be a part of your
life in the future.
You know, create the scenario for when you'recelebrating achieving these things.
What's gonna be like to drive your dreamvehicle?
What is the fabric of the inside seats?
(30:30):
What are the floor mats feel like?
What does the it's you know, we always have newcar smell.
Tell me how exciting new car smell is.
What's the first place you're gonna go to tocelebrate?
You know, what's the first meal you're gonnahave or restaurant you're gonna go to?
Tell me what you're gonna order that day, theday you get your brand new vehicle.
So we start to deepen the connection, and whathappens is people start to become aware of
(30:52):
opportunities to get there.
And and they start to not just think that stuffis happening to them, but they get to plug into
the world around them.
And what I start to see when people begin totake steps closer and they reach out to me, and
I always my my clients and I have a hashtag.
(31:12):
It says it goes back to the roller coasters.
Hashtag click baby click.
So when they have a breakthrough or aconnection for one of their goals, they'll on
social media, hey, Steve Gamblin.
Hashtag click baby click.
And I reached out to them.
I said, alright.
Tell me what happened.
And they tell me this amazing story of how intheir own town where they've lived for twenty
(31:33):
plus years, they suddenly became aware of anopportunity or a person to connect with to help
them to get to the next level and said, thisperson's been there the whole time.
But until I realized where I was and where Iwanted to go, I didn't see the need to connect
with them, and now I do.
And now I'm on my way, and I get to help them.
They get to help me.
We all rise together.
(31:54):
And you're just using your senses.
You hear things or you see things, and youstart to become aware of opportunities that you
never would have seen otherwise.
And it's a beautiful thing to watch thathappen.
Yes.
Is the ball now on my side?
What's that?
(32:15):
I said, is the ball on my side now?
Yes.
It is.
Okay.
Good.
Yes.
It is.
Yeah.
So this is really amazing what you just told.
Yes.
When, when we have that big goal, this is howit works.
Manifestation process, we have to fee we haveto create images as that really related to that
(32:38):
goal because we think in images.
Our brand thinks in images.
And also, we have to connect the feelings.
The feelings is the secret because oursubconscious mind is emotional mind.
It doesn't recognize what is real, what isimagined.
And when we start creating those images in ourimagination and fuel them with the feelings,
(33:03):
with our five senses, this is and when we do itregularly, of course, nothing will happen if
you do it just once and forget about your goal.
But when you do it regularly every day, youspend time with your goal.
You you start seeing yourself, how you willlive, how what person you will become, where
you will go, what you will do.
(33:23):
And more you do this, you impress these imagesinto your subconscious mind.
And when it is filled with the feelings, thisis how subconscious mind starts accepting as
reality.
For me for many people, they never achievetheir goals because it is just a wish.
They don't even believe that they can one dayachieve their goal.
(33:46):
And this is just wish, like hope.
Oh, I hope I would do that, or I wish I woulddo that.
But subconsciously, they know that it's not forthem, and they don't even do anything to to
making this their reality.
But when we vice versa.
When we start spending time with our dreams,yes, spending time with goals and feel this and
(34:09):
just sit in quiet place and just connect andimagine yourself.
More you do this, subconscious mind start startcreating, like, the GPS for you.
Because we don't understand how subconsciousmind works.
We don't know exactly how it works.
People who don't understand the laws and howall these universal laws and principles work.
(34:36):
They think that it is just woof thing.
Right?
But people who know the laws, we know thateverything is according to the laws.
Yes.
And no there is no miracle.
This miracle, it just looks like a miraclebecause for people who don't know the laws.
But when we know the laws and how subconsciousmind works and how my with our mind and how it
(34:58):
is integrated with our body, it is not miraclesanymore.
It is just by the law.
We just know that we we do these things,certain things in the certain way, and it must
take physical form.
Because that is one of the laws is the law ofperpetual transportation of energy.
It says that what we what the mind canconceive, the we can achieve.
(35:25):
Right?
We what you can hold in your mind, you willhold in your hand.
So when you focus on something and you reallywant it, you really have that burning desire as
as Napoleon Hill and also called burningdesire, that you have the desire, you see
yourself there, you are ready to do whatever ittakes, you take steps, and you just know that
(35:49):
it is there.
You expect this to happen, and this is how itstart getting.
And this is how, as you said, you could livetwenty years in one place, and you didn't see
those people.
And then suddenly, you start seeing thesepeople and people coming to you, and everything
just started matching, and then you achieveyour goal.
(36:11):
This is how it works.
Yep.
A %.
And I I love that you said woo woo in therebecause a lot of people, they hear about this,
they go, oh, no.
That's too woo woo for me, this wishing forstuff, because they're aware of of the laws of
the universe and of the energy that's actuallyhappening all around them all the time.
So I I refer to my style sometimes as bluecollar woo because I come from a family of
(36:36):
carpenters and people who just get in there,roll up their sleeves, grab the tools, do the
work.
So I tell people, look.
Here's a tool.
Here's where you are.
Here's where you wanna go.
Here's what you wanna build.
Take this tool.
I'll explain to you how to use it.
Now do some work, and let's touch base in aweek.
And they'll tell me the little steps they tookand what happened, and I'm watching these
people slowly create something.
(36:57):
And they're like, oh my gosh.
I thought it was all just sitting on my couchand wishing for stuff and waiting for knock on
the door that the universe was gonna show up.
And they say, well, it's it's a lot like peoplewho wanna win the lottery.
And they see when the lottery gets a big, bigit gets up now a billion dollars that happens a
couple times a year here in here in America.
(37:18):
And people are like, oh, I wanna win.
I wanna win.
I wanna win.
And they sit on their couch, and they sitthere, and they pray, and they hope, and they
wish, and they say, I'm gonna be rich.
I'm gonna be rich.
I'm gonna be rich.
I'm manifesting.
And I that's where I stop and I say, okay.
You're not manifesting because you're not doinganything.
You're you're wishing and you're hoping andyou're praying.
And I'll say, now if you wanna manifest it, thefirst thing you need to do is actually go buy a
(37:44):
ticket.
You know, you have to you have to pay the priceof admission to at least be potential to win.
And and they say, well, I I wanna be rich.
But did you buy a ticket?
No.
I'll never win.
Well, then it's probably gonna be tough.
You've got to at least get off you know, youhave to tell your your your bum in your couch
(38:07):
to get a divorce, and you have to go do someactions and and do some work and make some
effort.
It's not just sitting around wishing.
It's doing.
And it's very important too to build all of thesteps.
Even if you can't see, and, of course, MartinLuther King, you don't have to see the entire
staircase, just the first step or the nextstep.
(38:29):
So just keep on moving closer and closer.
The opportunities will show up, but you've gotto take action.
And when you start to see those results, that'swhen the woo woo feeling starts to fall away,
and you see that it's an actual scientific,mechanical process, which you gotta keep going.
(38:53):
Yeah.
Definitely.
And, also, it is no shouldn't be hard.
It shouldn't be hard.
When you are aligned with your goals, this ishow it happen happens effortlessly because you
get to the right frequency.
Like, there is, like, multiple of differentchannels.
(39:14):
And according to the way you think now, yourbody transmits this frequency, like vibration,
and you said to certain channel.
And everything what you see in life, who youmeet, everything what's happening is in the
channel of that frequency.
(39:35):
Right?
So it is like being listening AM, as you haveto to own radio to certain frequency, which
will be in AM, and you will only listen thoseprograms.
You will not listen anything which is beyond,for example, FM.
Because for FM, you have to get to differentfrequency.
(39:58):
And this is exactly our brain is, like thatreceiving and sending station.
It is like radio.
And by choosing thoughts, we set the frequency.
And this is how, like, when you set differentgoals bigger than you are now, and this is how
you start thinking from that frequency becauseyou already start seeing yourself visualizing
(40:23):
and feeling as that.
And this is how your brain flips to thatfrequency, and this is how your channel
changes.
Old friends are not interested anymore.
Maybe they're not interested in you because youdon't have anything common anymore.
You're already there, and you you startattracting new people, and you start attracting
new ideas.
(40:44):
This is how everything changes.
Everything starts from the goal.
Yeah.
Goal sets you that the person of frequencywhere who you have to become to get there.
And if you really see yourself, feel yourself,believe in yourself, and have other people who
believe in you that you can get there, this ishow you will get there.
(41:08):
Yep.
And that's so true.
And and one of the things that I hear frompeople or I've heard in the past from people is
when I started to emit a higher frequency andstarted to seek to connect with people of a
higher frequency, sometimes the people in theprevious frequencies will get upset with you
and say, oh, you're what?
Are you better than me now?
(41:28):
I'm not good enough for you anymore.
And it's not better or worse.
It's just a different frequency.
And sometimes you go maybe to an event.
I used to go to a lot of business networkingand there would be people in there that I'd
never met, but I would see them.
And I would talk to them for a minute andthink, oh my gosh.
What a wonderful energy this person has.
(41:48):
I love their frequency.
And I was at an event.
Gosh.
This is now twenty years ago.
And I was there, and I knew a pretty goodamount of the people there.
And I was talking with people as I made my waythrough the event.
It was very busy.
And I had a a a glass of ginger ale and somecheese and crackers, and it just kinda went to
a private a little quiet area just to to enjoymy snacks.
(42:11):
And a woman came over and and said, hi.
We've never met, but could I just stand next toyou for a few minutes?
And I thought Mhmm.
Sure.
You know, my name is Steve, and she introducedherself.
And she said, this is my first time here.
I don't know anybody, but I just watched youtalking with people the whole way through.
And all I saw were smiles and good energy, AndI just wanted to know if I could stand next to
(42:36):
you for a few minutes and absorb some of thatenergy.
And I thought, first off, I'm honored.
And second, I said, well, don't just standthere.
Let's have a conversation.
And and I said, I I don't know what you do, buttell me who is your favorite person you got to
help this week, or what problem did you make goaway for somebody in your work?
(42:56):
And she just lit up, and she goes, well, oh mygosh.
I'm, you know, I'm in this field, and and thisperson came to us with a problem, and I was
able to help them.
And I'm watching her face the whole time, andshe's smiling.
And she's at a whole other frequency than whenshe was shut down feeling that she wasn't
worthy of being in the room.
And then she said, oh my gosh.
I've been talking forever.
(43:17):
What do you do?
And I just looked at her, and I said, this.
I talk with people, I share good energy.
Oh my gosh.
That's what I do for a living.
I get to be positive for a living.
And twenty years ago, and I'm still rememberingthat conversation, that was a teaching moment
for me to make sure I'm always at my highestpossible frequency no matter where I am.
(43:44):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because you never know.
Yeah.
You never know how many people really you canhelp even by standing near you because they
really feel that they need that energy because,I don't know, so many people have so different
challenges in life.
And sometimes they just need this, like, freshair just to be with somebody who can believe
(44:07):
them and who can believe in them and supportthem.
And this little bit can be enough for people toeven change their perspective and become
optimistic about life and to taking steps toimprove the situation.
Yep.
One of my favorite conversations ever.
(44:28):
And like I said, twenty years later, I'm stillreliving the energy of it.
And it it just it just made me happy just toshare.
I haven't shared that a long time, so I'm gonnaI'm gonna remember to keep that in my pocket
and and continue to tell that story becausesomebody might be going to their very first
ever networking event the day after they hearme share that, and they may walk into that room
(44:53):
differently because of it remembering to bringtheir frequency up.
So it's what you and I do.
We just we just try to share our energy as bestwe can, and what people grab on and take,
wonderful.
I love that.
Yeah.
Thank you so much for being today.
Amazing guest in our podcast.
(45:13):
And this is what is our purpose, to upliftpeople, to give them knowledge, to give them
really vision, how they can live, how they canthink big, set big goals.
And everything is possible.
Everything is possible when you surroundyourself with successful people.
And successful people also were not, somebodywho were born with silver spoons.
(45:37):
You said you had so many challenges.
You just learned.
You you learned from mistakes.
You learned from failures.
And now it is so powerful and so pricelessexperience, which, we can share with the world
from our lives.
And, people can learn, and they can save years.
(46:00):
They can save years of their lives, and theycan be successful just implementing, reaching
out to you, to other other guests.
And now we we have no lack of knowledge, nolack of support.
There are so many amazing coaches like you,and, I'm really pleased that, you had today,
(46:22):
this we had this conversation.
And before we wrap up our episode, what wouldbe one advice that you will would like to share
with people related to setting big goals,making plans, taking action, and manifesting
this in their lives?
Yeah.
The first thing I suggest to everybody is turnoff your phone, go somewhere quiet, Bring a pen
(46:47):
and some paper with you.
Don't be texting this stuff on your phone.
A pen and a paper.
And think of all the areas of life I mentionedearlier, your health, your emotions, your
relationships, your core values, your faith,your connection with people, your work, and
your money.
Think of where your life is right now, andthink of where you'd like it to be just one
year from now.
Don't start with the twenty year stuff yet.
(47:09):
One year from now, and think of the littlesteps you can take to start to get that wheel
moving, to start to climb up that first hill.
And when you write it, you're using both halvesof your brain.
So you're using the creative side and thescientific side, and then just start.
Think of one action you can take every day toget closer to just one of those goals.
(47:33):
Do not overwhelm yourself when you get startedbecause what you're doing is you're you're
hardwiring new and better habits.
You're surrounding yourself with better energy.
You're putting a better version of yourself outthere every day, but it all starts with that
pen and paper.
Somewhere quiet, turn off all things thatdistract you, and just give yourself that gift.
And like Elena said, start every day in themirror.
(47:56):
Point out one thing about yourself you like ortell yourself what you're gonna do that day or
just say, I love you to that person in themirror.
Even if you don't love the whole picture, justfind something about yourself you really like
and start there.
Yeah.
Love yourself because you're amazing.
(48:16):
You're amazing.
You have so much to give to the world, and itis everything about self compassion and love
because we can only love others if we loveourselves.
We cannot do something for others which wedon't do for ourselves.
So learn about yourself, learn about yourstrength, and encourage yourself.
(48:40):
Yes.
Encourage to be even 1% better every day.
1%, something small.
Celebrate your small wings.
Acknowledge what you do do and see how far youwill be.
Yeah.
And if you can every day, this is somethingI've been doing for over fourteen years.
I have a special journal just for gratitudes.
And in the morning when I start my day, I writedown my three favorite moments, not broad
(49:05):
broad.
Don't say I'm happy for my house, my job, andmy relationship.
I say, I got to talk to this person today.
I got to give a gift card to somebody at thegrocery store last night who did an act of
kindness for me.
I'll write that down in less than a line each,and I've been doing it for over fourteen years.
Thousands of moments.
(49:26):
And I think the greatest gift you can give toyour future self is something you're grateful
for today that you just take it takes me lessthan a minute every day to do this.
And I can look back ten years, read one, And ifI wrote it well enough and described it well
enough and made it emotionally connected, I canfeel that good emotion again.
(49:46):
So even if it's just one thing per day, tellyourself something you're proud of yourself for
doing, you're grateful for that happened.
And just so you know, Elena, tomorrow morning,I'm gonna write, I'm grateful that I was on
Elena's podcast.
So you're gonna be in my gratitude journaltomorrow morning, just so you know.
Thank you so much.
I really appreciate this and our conversation.
(50:08):
It was amazing to meet you, and I'm lookingforward to see you again on our future
episodes.
So maybe a panel discussion at the Circle ofFame with other experts would be great to learn
from you and hear your perspective.
I would be honored.
Thank you very much, and thank you for invitingme for this conversation.
You're most welcome.
(50:29):
See you soon again.
Yep.
Hello.
Hello.
Welcome to mindset to results.
And today, our guest is Steve Gamlin.
He is a very interesting person because hehelps people to visualize what they want,
connect to their goals, make plan, and manifestwhat they see in their mind to be in their real
(00:25):
world, to become their reality.
Hi, Steve.
Hello, Elayna.
Thank you so much for inviting me.
I'm looking forward to our conversation.
You're most welcome.
This is my one of favorite topics, yeah, aboutbig vision, manifestation, and making plan and
making this plan to become real life.
(00:48):
Share, please, about yourself a little bit yourstory.
How did you come to this understanding aboutthe laws of manifestation and how you started
helping people to live lives of their dreams?
Well, I came into what I do and what I've beendoing for the past twenty years the best way
(01:09):
that I know how.
I completely destroyed my life about twentythree years ago.
I had enjoyed a very successful ten year radiocareer.
I was married at the time, and I was veryunhappy.
I was burned out.
I was frustrated.
I was exhausted.
And the reason I was doing what I was doing wasbecause now I'm 57 years old, so I've got a few
(01:31):
birthday candles ahead of you.
When I was 18 years old, my family told me, geta good education and a good job with good
benefits, put your head down and work for fortyfive years, and then at the end of it, you get
to enjoy your golden years.
And I worked way too many hours.
I was burned out, frustrated.
My first wife and I were not communicatingwell, and we're getting very frustrated.
(01:54):
And I was just exhausted.
And in a very short window of time around02/2002, I quit my radio career.
I went through a divorce, and I was tens ofthousands of dollars in debt at age 35 without
a full time job.
And I crawled home and lived with family for awhile to just lick my wounds and put myself
(02:15):
back together, and I started working with acoach who asked me, what do you wanna do?
And I remembered four goals I had when I was 11years old.
I wanted to be a radio DJ.
I wanted to be a stand up comedian.
I wanted to be an author of my own books, and Iwanted to be a teacher of people, but not in a
(02:36):
classroom.
I just wanted to help people.
And through a couple of things that happened tome in 02/2003, all of a sudden, I found myself
lined up to be able to do this, and I slowlylearned that it's more about what we want than
what other people tell us success is all about,and that's where the seeds of what I do today
(03:00):
started.
So I messed my life up in every area you canimagine, and then I rose out of the ashes like
a phoenix.
But the way I say it, my phoenix rides a pogostick, meaning I go up and back down and up and
back down.
I just try to fly higher every time and stopburning my tail feathers off, but that's how
I've learned, highs and lows throughout mylife.
(03:22):
Yes.
Yes.
And this is a and this is a really good tolearn.
Yes.
You have to good to have these inventions, haveto have ups and downs, and this is what makes
life really exciting and, not boring.
Yes.
Because what is the sense to live life whicheverything predicted?
(03:43):
Like, that moon, which starts well, everythingis good.
Then in the middle, everything is good,everybody happy.
And then at the end, again, everybody good.
Who would love to like, to go to watch thismovie?
That is no fun.
And I believe that this the essence of life isin this spirit to when we really have that
(04:06):
spirit for more, when we are not content withthe average, yes, just being average and just
living life as other people want us to live, asyou said.
And when we understand that we are here formore and when we are brave, bold enough to step
out and to searching and, like, checkingdifferent things.
(04:27):
Oh, is it good for me?
Oh, that is good.
Oh, that and this is the process how finally wewe find we find ourselves.
We find our patient.
We find who we we meant to be.
And when we find it, this is how our lifereally starts.
Yeah.
Like, where we really start to live becausefrom now on, we live our life.
(04:52):
We live the way how we want.
We live the way and do things which we enjoydoing, love to do.
And this is how we get results.
We feel fulfilled.
And this is how I feel that exactly what'shappened in your journey.
Yeah?
Mhmm.
Yep.
Exactly.
And and somebody asked me a while ago.
Actually, a number of people have asked methis, and they get very snotty it.
(05:15):
They say, well, what qualifies you to talkabout this?
You know, do you have a a certificate forcoaching?
Do you have a degree in this or that?
I said, you know what qualifies me?
And I used to have here in the recording studioa small chalkboard, and I wrote on it one day.
This guy lived it.
(05:35):
And I drew an arrow, and I put the arrow nextto my head.
I took a selfie, and I sent it to that person.
What qualifies me to teach this is because I'vecreated an amazing life now from where life
used to be very, very difficult.
Because I understood visualization andmanifestation and goals are more about who you
(05:55):
become than what you get.
Because so many people say, well, success ismoney in a private jet and a Lamborghini and
all that stuff.
What I suggest to people is figure out the bestversion of you and make that happen.
And maybe it's not super exciting likeskydiving or mountain climbing or anything like
that.
Maybe it's just being in an amazingrelationship and being in good health and and
(06:17):
taking all the steps it takes to get there.
So, yeah, I mean, we we become such a slave toeverybody else that I believe when we are doing
something that actually makes us happy, weshould be aware of that and be aware of what it
took to get there.
It's not all this death defying, crazy, highticket, big money things.
(06:39):
It's it's just being the best version of you,and that's I think that's one of the most
amazing goals that you can create is to reallyunderstand who do I want to be and what's it
going to take for me to get there.
Yes.
True.
Because everyone is so unique.
Everyone is so unique and has his uniquetalents and gifts.
(07:02):
Like a snowflakes, there are so many we don'teven know how many.
There is no number.
It's was snowflakes.
But you cannot find even one which will beduplicate of another one.
All are different.
And this is exactly people are different.
And we just condition to think the same.
(07:23):
Like, there are some cliches which are justimpressed in our mind and subconscious mind
since we are children, what is success means.
Yes.
Like, what prestige professions are, like, forexample, to be doctor or to be lawyer.
And and this is just how the society puts uponus different patterns.
(07:46):
Yes.
What is success?
What means like, how you should live?
How to be be successful?
Like, you have to have house, you have to havecar, and you have to show up, and you haven't
shouldn't be lower than your neighbor or yourfriends.
Right?
But if you go really to the essence of success,it is and happiness, it is so unique.
(08:07):
And success for everyone is totally different.
And instead of trying to fit yourself tosomebody else's pattern of success, as you
said, we have to find ourselves.
We have to study who we really are, who wereally, meant to be, and what we love to do,
(08:28):
who we enjoy to be with.
Yes.
And we have to start asking us ourselves.
And I think that studying and knowledge is soimportant.
And we have so much knowledge about differentthings, but nobody teaches us to study
ourselves who we really are.
(08:49):
Yeah.
A %.
And and so many people and I I love what yousaid about, you know, you don't wanna be less
than other people.
And one of the dangers of social media rightnow, oh my gosh, there are so many people out
there putting up this fake presentation of howamazing their life is.
And you and I both know because we're both inthis industry.
(09:12):
So many people out there have this fake wallwhere they want people to think they're
successful.
They want people to think they're powerful.
They want people to think that they're, justthis this highest level of living and enjoying
themselves.
But what we see year after year, some so manyof those people, especially the ones that call
themselves influencers, are so unhappy thatthey're they're just putting out this fake life
(09:39):
and they're trying to live up to it.
And after a while, they can't, and they comecrashing down.
And sometimes the results of that are very sadto watch when you see people crash down.
So I encourage people just be as real as youcan be where you are right now.
And and so many people say, well, I want more.
I want better.
(09:59):
I wanna be happier.
I wanna be healthier.
I want more money.
But they never actually take stock of wherethey are right now.
It's it's kind of like point a if you're doinga GPS or a Google Map.
You have to know where you are right now toknow what direction to take, to know where you
want to go.
So even though your life may not be perfectright now, if you're a mathematical person,
(10:20):
rate it on a scale of one to 10.
If you're a storytelling creative like I am,tell me a story about where your life is right
now, and don't say what it's not.
Say what it is.
Tell me what the good things are right now andthe things you'd like to improve.
And if you tell me where you wanna go, I canhelp to at least direct you or give you a
couple of ideas to get there.
(10:40):
But stop just thinking.
Everybody else knows what they're doing, andthey've got it all together, and they're all
everyone else but me is successful.
And understand that where you are right now,there's something really good about it.
It may not be perfect yet, but please stopfalling for this thing that other people are
putting out there of what perfection andsuccess are.
(11:02):
You've got it.
I mean, if you're listening to a show likeElena's, there's something amazing about you
because you know where to plug in to understandwhere you are now and where you wanna go.
And Elena brings in people that can help you toget there.
If our messages resonate with you, the two ofus together right now could help even just one
person to create something better in theirlives.
(11:25):
And to me, that's a big win right there.
Well, yeah.
Definitely.
And as you said, like, if people show somethingthat is fake, which is not them, it is really
hard.
It is really hard because they don't enjoy.
It is just being in this artificial loop allthe time and showing something that you are
(11:47):
not.
But we know according to the law that, we don'tget what we want or what we show.
We we get in life who we are.
Right?
So it is totally totally something that willnot bring any results.
(12:07):
It will just, lead to exhaustion, burnout, andlosing any any joy in what you do if you are
fake.
Because, people communicate not at the level ofonly visual things, images, or what they can
(12:28):
hear or smell, taste, and touch from fivephysical senses.
The mode of communication happens at thesubconscious level by our intuition when we
connect without even speaking.
We can meet somebody in just two second, and wejust feel already reconnected already.
(12:48):
We can speak for hours and nonstop, and we canlike, music, one instrument, another
instrument.
Yes.
Like, this, unison.
And other people, also, you can meet, and thenthe person can speak so good.
Everything is right.
But you feel that, no.
Something is wrong.
Like, you just want to get out of that.
(13:10):
Get me out of here.
I was like, yes.
And this is exactly like if the if people arenot real, if they don't really come to social
media with the right purpose.
And the right person for me is to really showpeople, is to really provide value and help
(13:31):
people.
Because we live in this crazy world now that Ibelieve that it is, like, two directions.
Yes.
Like, the river, which is the with this bigcurrent, yes, just takes people with it.
And if you don't understand these, principles,spiritual principles, universal laws, When you
(14:00):
don't seek for spiritual food, yes, like,really having value as this highest form of
creation with who we are.
Right?
Human beings, we're supposed to be highest formof creation and take care of everything else.
But, unfortunately, because people lost somesomewhere, there's this connection with gods,
(14:21):
connection with these values.
They just are taken by the river.
But we know that which fish goes with the flowof the river to the direction of the current.
Right?
Like, all the fish or sick fish, which cannotmove on the opposite direction.
So this is a lot of things here.
(14:43):
And, really, we want to just summarize what weshared.
Just be you.
You have so much.
You have unique talents and gifts.
And just think about it.
There is only one you in all the universe.
There was nobody like you, and there will benobody like you.
(15:03):
And just think about if you find your truevalue, what is given to you by God initially
when you were just born, already you had thatvalue, and your task is just to find it.
Find yourself.
Be true with yourself.
Be true with other people.
Find what you really love to do and startgrowing in that direction.
(15:25):
And you when you align with your goals, whenyou are true with yourself, you will start
attracting everything in your life, people,circumstances, different situation, which will
help you to grow and get where you meant to be.
Yes.
And this is how where you have to be honest.
Otherwise, you will just lose time and getnowhere.
(15:48):
Yeah.
And I I love so much about what you just said.
Oh my gosh.
And especially and I'll just start with the thelast part you said.
Being yourself and understanding your gifts.
And if you don't know what your gifts arebecause some people don't.
They just think, well, this comes very easilyto me, so there's nothing special about it.
(16:08):
Find some a good friend that you trust or maybea coworker or maybe a family member and ask
them, why do you hang out with me?
Why do you choose to be around me?
Why do you stay in touch with me?
Why are we connected?
You might just hear something pretty amazing.
Well, they this person may say, every time I'maround you, I feel better about myself.
(16:33):
I see how kind you are with other people,especially strangers.
Or if we're in a restaurant, I just see hownice you are to people.
I how smart you are.
You're an amazing problem solver, and you canget to the core of things right away.
And you may hear these things and not eventhink there's anything special about them.
And that's unfortunately, that's the problemwith a lot of people.
(16:53):
They have these gifts, and they don't thinkthey're very special because it comes so easily
to us.
So we don't think it really matters to otherpeople.
And that's an important thing and continue touse those gifts.
And too many people think they have to dosomething huge and change the world.
If you impact one person a day in a positiveway, that's gonna send a ripple out into the
(17:17):
universe.
And it's just it's a ripple of good energy.
And you never know how far the ripples go.
You may have had a conversation with somebodyten years ago, Elena.
And all of a sudden, you run to that personagain, and they may say, Elena, do you remember
the day you said this to me?
And you may not, but just nod your head and sayyes anyway.
Yes.
(17:37):
And they'll say, you know, I I was goingthrough a tough time, and you shared that
positivity with me that day.
You believed in me.
You cheered me on, and I just wanna let youknow that that changed my life that day.
That was the day that the ripple started, andhere's what I've done.
And about now, gosh, twelve years ago, Istopped at a grocery store in between meetings,
(18:01):
and I was walking down the cereal aisle.
I had to get some breakfast bars.
And a gentleman walked past me, and he turnedaround.
He said, hey, man.
You're that speaker.
Right?
And I turned around, and we're the only two inthe aisle.
I said, yes, sir.
I'm a speaker.
What do you remember?
He told me one of my stage stories, the picturethat had been up on the screen with the slide,
(18:22):
the lesson of the story, and how he had appliedit a week after that presentation to get
himself a job.
See, it was a a group of people who were out ofwork, and I was brought in to kind of cheer
them up, cheer them on, and give them somepositivity.
And I said, oh my gosh.
You remembered all of that.
And he says, yeah, man.
It changed my life.
(18:43):
And I asked him, how long ago was that?
And he went, oh, jeez.
Three years.
So me just doing something I love to dopassionately, being on a stage, encouraging
people, connecting with people, sharingpositive lessons that they could use in their
life, he took one, put it in his pocket, usedit a week later, had a positive experience in
(19:04):
his life, saw me three years later, and reachedout and said how much it made a difference to
him.
We all have gifts like this.
So please do not devalue yours just because youthink they're not that valuable or it's easy.
There's nothing special about it.
There's something very special about youlistening right now.
(19:27):
So please understand that and use them everysingle day in some way to do what I call I
leave a trail of plus signs behind me all day.
I try to just have positive interactions andexperiences with people or even just on social
media.
I make sure when I go to social media, I leavesomething positive for people and not just
complaining or being negative because I neverknow where those plus signs and those ripples
(19:51):
are going to go.
So what you just said about people recognizingtheir gifts is so valuable.
Yes.
Of course.
Thank you, Steve, for your feedback.
Yes.
We have amazing conversation now.
And what else I wanted to say that no oneshould compare themselves to anyone because it
(20:13):
is always somebody better.
Right?
Like, it is always, like, a lot of differentfrequencies.
Right?
Unlimited number of frequency, and there isalways one frequency down and one frequency up.
Right?
This you cannot say this box, for example,small or this box big because the in comparison
(20:33):
with what?
That box is big in comparison with small one,but in comparison with another big box, it is
small.
And so if we just, understand that we have theour values and we have our life, and our task
in this life is to find who we really are, whatis our genius, because everyone is was born
(20:58):
with g with some genius, with something strong,some strength, which if they develop those
strengths, they will be very successful.
Yes.
And the world needs that, what everyone has.
So it is good to just watching in the mirror.
Just watch you to yourself and appreciate whoyou are.
(21:20):
Appreciate what you have, that you have eyes tosee yourself.
You have ears.
Yes.
Hands and everything.
And just being from this greater gratitudeenergy and to start asking yourself, what do
you really want to do in this life?
What makes me happy?
What makes me fulfilled?
(21:40):
What really I love to do?
And when you stand contemplating on this, andit is good to do it in the quiet room when
there is no distractions.
Just sit twenty minutes or you can start eventen minutes and have no thoughts.
Just just cut all those distractions, all thosethoughts, and ask yourself only one question.
(22:04):
What do I want?
What do I really want?
Because it is it is ridiculous.
People are busy, busy, busy.
And if you stop them in the street, and thenthen ask, what is your goal?
Do you have really big goal?
They will look at you and say, what do youmean?
Like, okay.
I have some task to do.
But this is not about task.
(22:26):
It is really something big that you want toachieve, what will really make you fulfilled,
successful, excited.
You will know that you created so much value.
What is that?
So ask start asking yourself this questionbecause without answering to this question,
there is no sense of anything what you do.
(22:46):
It doesn't make sense.
You just I like that squirrel squirrel in thechoco.
Yes.
On on treadmill.
Just running.
You think that you are running, but you are inthe same spot.
You're not running towards your greatness,towards your talents to develop which are given
to you.
And if you don't develop them, what is given toyou, you will not be happy.
(23:08):
You will not be satisfied.
You will not feel fulfilled.
Even if you are busy all the day, you will beexhausted, and you will not be happy.
This is the secret of happiness, to findyourself, find what you love to do, be
inspired, be excited, grow every day, andsurround yourself with like minded people.
And this is what happiness for me.
(23:30):
Yep.
This is what makes me fulfilled.
What about you, Steve?
What makes you fulfilled?
I I love the examples that you give.
Oh my we're we're playing a game of volleyballright now, and you just keep hitting it over
the net perfectly.
And I hit it back, and you hit it back, and andI love this this energy back and forth.
For me, to to feel that way is to and and youmentioned the treadmill about just going over
(23:55):
and over and over and moving, but not reallygetting anywhere.
A lesson I learned early on about beingfulfilled and finding the best version of
myself was setting goals in all areas of mylife.
So it's not just money, and it's not justsuccess or material things.
It's who do you wanna be, how will you feelfulfilled in your physical health, in the
(24:18):
emotions that you feel on a regular basis, inyour closest relationships, in the core values
that guide all of your thoughts, your words,and your actions, in your faith.
That's kind of the same thing, but the powercomes from a different direction, whatever you
choose to believe in.
And in your connection with people in realways, there's so much loneliness and isolation
and depression and addiction out there becausepeople feel disconnected.
(24:41):
And then you're working your money.
Now if you just think of one goal at a time anddon't think it's gonna come just like that.
Now I like roller coasters, like, the amusementpark.
I like the old wooden roller coasters, thereally old ones.
Any one of your goals, if you wanna feelfulfilled and happy, think of one of your goals
(25:02):
in one area of your life, and that's at the topof that first hill.
Now you have to start off at the bottom at theparking lot level like everybody else.
And you another thing you mentioned is youwanna surround yourself with the right people.
So you invite those people around you.
Because who wants to sit on a roller coasterlistening to somebody complain the whole way?
(25:23):
So you start there, and you keep an eye on thatgoal at the top of the hill.
And every day, you just take one step.
Click.
Click.
Click.
Click.
You can't start halfway up.
You can't skip any steps.
You have to do all the work to get there.
And sometimes it might feel like you're stilljust on a treadmill not getting anywhere.
But what I encourage my clients to do, everyonce in a while, look over your shoulder and
(25:45):
realize you're a lot higher up than when youstarted, and you're getting closer and closer.
You may not feel closer yet, but not only areyou getting closer to achieving the goal, but
you're becoming the right person who's gonnaappreciate and be grateful for all the work
you've done to get to that goal.
So just keep every day, keep your eye on whatyour goals are and think, what one thing can I
(26:09):
do today?
What one person can I connect with?
What one thing could I learn?
What one task do I need to get done to getcloser to that and not be distracted by just
being busy, but understanding what's gonna getme closer to this goal today.
That to me is how you create success.
Because when you've done all the steps and youachieve it, what happens on the other side of
(26:31):
that hill?
You don't have to do any more work.
You just hang on and enjoy the ride celebratingall the work that you did.
And when you get to the end, if you screamedand cried and got excited and your eyes are
really, really big, if you really enjoyed it,first thing you wanna do is get back in line
and go on again, set your next goal, and do thesame pattern.
If your goals just come to you like that,you're probably not going to grow as a person
(26:56):
enough to maintain the victories and to keepcelebrating and keep becoming your best self.
Yeah.
So true.
Why we need the big goals?
Because it is the process, and it is not evenabout, what we get at the end of going there.
(27:17):
It is about who we become.
Because it again, we get in life who we become.
That is why the goal big goal is needed for usto get us excited, is to give give us that
inner inner fuel.
Yeah.
Inner fuel that will give us energy because wehave to be inspired with with that goal.
(27:43):
Yes.
And the the of who we become every day when wedo these steps and move forward.
And this is the the process is most importantbecause once you get there, you will attract
everything that it will match to who you are.
(28:04):
Right?
That your new identity.
You we when you create your new self image, youbecome new person.
You will never been again that person.
When you look back, you will tell, oh, like, itis how I could do that?
How I could live like that?
I don't recognize myself anymore.
I don't I would not, like, live even one daylike that.
(28:27):
So you you make such a huge transformation thatyou don't recognize yourself anymore.
And this is why big goals are really important.
Because if you just set small goals and youachieve them and set small goals, there is no
growth in that.
It is nothing.
You just stay in the same place.
(28:47):
But when you set big goals, which scare youfrom one side and from another side inspire
you, and you don't know how you will get there,but you really want and you're ready to do
whatever it takes, and you get the steps everyday, you go out of your comfort zone.
You face all the fear and doubt and don'tanymore.
(29:08):
And this is how you break through, and this ishow that this process of transformation happens
when you become a totally different person.
Yep.
And you said something earlier that was soperfect.
You talked about your senses becoming moreaware of opportunities that are out there.
And that's something that I suggest to all thepeople that I work with and all of my audiences
(29:29):
and my listeners is, I first start to ask them,what do your goals look like?
And they start to describe the goals.
I said, okay.
What do they feel like?
Go.
What do you mean?
I said, what will it feel like when you achieveit?
And if it's a physical thing, what does it feellike?
What are the textures?
And and what's it feel like to actually holdthis?
(29:49):
And they'll start to describe it a little, andthey'll be a little you know, they don't quite
know where I'm going.
I said, okay.
What does it sound like?
And then they they start to tell a littlestory, and I go, okay.
Now here are the final two.
What do your goals taste like, and what do theysmell like?
And that's when they just start laughingbecause they don't know.
Like, what do my goals smell like?
(30:10):
And I say, what you need to do is understandthe person you're gonna need to become to get
there, but also tell me the stories about howthese things are all gonna be a part of your
life in the future.
You know, create the scenario for when you'recelebrating achieving these things.
What's gonna be like to drive your dreamvehicle?
What is the fabric of the inside seats?
(30:30):
What are the floor mats feel like?
What does the it's you know, we always have newcar smell.
Tell me how exciting new car smell is.
What's the first place you're gonna go to tocelebrate?
You know, what's the first meal you're gonnahave or restaurant you're gonna go to?
Tell me what you're gonna order that day, theday you get your brand new vehicle.
So we start to deepen the connection, and whathappens is people start to become aware of
(30:52):
opportunities to get there.
And and they start to not just think that stuffis happening to them, but they get to plug into
the world around them.
And what I start to see when people begin totake steps closer and they reach out to me, and
I always my my clients and I have a hashtag.
(31:12):
It says it goes back to the roller coasters.
Hashtag click baby click.
So when they have a breakthrough or aconnection for one of their goals, they'll on
social media, hey, Steve Gamblin.
Hashtag click baby click.
And I reached out to them.
I said, alright.
Tell me what happened.
And they tell me this amazing story of how intheir own town where they've lived for twenty
(31:33):
plus years, they suddenly became aware of anopportunity or a person to connect with to help
them to get to the next level and said, thisperson's been there the whole time.
But until I realized where I was and where Iwanted to go, I didn't see the need to connect
with them, and now I do.
And now I'm on my way, and I get to help them.
They get to help me.
We all rise together.
(31:54):
And you're just using your senses.
You hear things or you see things, and youstart to become aware of opportunities that you
never would have seen otherwise.
And it's a beautiful thing to watch thathappen.
Yes.
Is the ball now on my side?
What's that?
(32:15):
I said, is the ball on my side now?
Yes.
It is.
Okay.
Good.
Yes.
It is.
Yeah.
So this is really amazing what you just told.
Yes.
When, when we have that big goal, this is howit works.
Manifestation process, we have to fee we haveto create images as that really related to that
(32:38):
goal because we think in images.
Our brand thinks in images.
And also, we have to connect the feelings.
The feelings is the secret because oursubconscious mind is emotional mind.
It doesn't recognize what is real, what isimagined.
And when we start creating those images in ourimagination and fuel them with the feelings,
(33:03):
with our five senses, this is and when we do itregularly, of course, nothing will happen if
you do it just once and forget about your goal.
But when you do it regularly every day, youspend time with your goal.
You you start seeing yourself, how you willlive, how what person you will become, where
you will go, what you will do.
(33:23):
And more you do this, you impress these imagesinto your subconscious mind.
And when it is filled with the feelings, thisis how subconscious mind starts accepting as
reality.
For me for many people, they never achievetheir goals because it is just a wish.
They don't even believe that they can one dayachieve their goal.
(33:46):
And this is just wish, like hope.
Oh, I hope I would do that, or I wish I woulddo that.
But subconsciously, they know that it's not forthem, and they don't even do anything to to
making this their reality.
But when we vice versa.
When we start spending time with our dreams,yes, spending time with goals and feel this and
(34:09):
just sit in quiet place and just connect andimagine yourself.
More you do this, subconscious mind start startcreating, like, the GPS for you.
Because we don't understand how subconsciousmind works.
We don't know exactly how it works.
People who don't understand the laws and howall these universal laws and principles work.
(34:36):
They think that it is just woof thing.
Right?
But people who know the laws, we know thateverything is according to the laws.
Yes.
And no there is no miracle.
This miracle, it just looks like a miraclebecause for people who don't know the laws.
But when we know the laws and how subconsciousmind works and how my with our mind and how it
(34:58):
is integrated with our body, it is not miraclesanymore.
It is just by the law.
We just know that we we do these things,certain things in the certain way, and it must
take physical form.
Because that is one of the laws is the law ofperpetual transportation of energy.
It says that what we what the mind canconceive, the we can achieve.
(35:25):
Right?
We what you can hold in your mind, you willhold in your hand.
So when you focus on something and you reallywant it, you really have that burning desire as
as Napoleon Hill and also called burningdesire, that you have the desire, you see
yourself there, you are ready to do whatever ittakes, you take steps, and you just know that
(35:49):
it is there.
You expect this to happen, and this is how itstart getting.
And this is how, as you said, you could livetwenty years in one place, and you didn't see
those people.
And then suddenly, you start seeing thesepeople and people coming to you, and everything
just started matching, and then you achieveyour goal.
(36:11):
This is how it works.
Yep.
A %.
And I I love that you said woo woo in therebecause a lot of people, they hear about this,
they go, oh, no.
That's too woo woo for me, this wishing forstuff, because they're aware of of the laws of
the universe and of the energy that's actuallyhappening all around them all the time.
So I I refer to my style sometimes as bluecollar woo because I come from a family of
(36:36):
carpenters and people who just get in there,roll up their sleeves, grab the tools, do the
work.
So I tell people, look.
Here's a tool.
Here's where you are.
Here's where you wanna go.
Here's what you wanna build.
Take this tool.
I'll explain to you how to use it.
Now do some work, and let's touch base in aweek.
And they'll tell me the little steps they tookand what happened, and I'm watching these
people slowly create something.
(36:57):
And they're like, oh my gosh.
I thought it was all just sitting on my couchand wishing for stuff and waiting for knock on
the door that the universe was gonna show up.
And they say, well, it's it's a lot like peoplewho wanna win the lottery.
And they see when the lottery gets a big, bigit gets up now a billion dollars that happens a
couple times a year here in here in America.
(37:18):
And people are like, oh, I wanna win.
I wanna win.
I wanna win.
And they sit on their couch, and they sitthere, and they pray, and they hope, and they
wish, and they say, I'm gonna be rich.
I'm gonna be rich.
I'm gonna be rich.
I'm manifesting.
And I that's where I stop and I say, okay.
You're not manifesting because you're not doinganything.
You're you're wishing and you're hoping andyou're praying.
And I'll say, now if you wanna manifest it, thefirst thing you need to do is actually go buy a
(37:44):
ticket.
You know, you have to you have to pay the priceof admission to at least be potential to win.
And and they say, well, I I wanna be rich.
But did you buy a ticket?
No.
I'll never win.
Well, then it's probably gonna be tough.
You've got to at least get off you know, youhave to tell your your your bum in your couch
(38:07):
to get a divorce, and you have to go do someactions and and do some work and make some
effort.
It's not just sitting around wishing.
It's doing.
And it's very important too to build all of thesteps.
Even if you can't see, and, of course, MartinLuther King, you don't have to see the entire
staircase, just the first step or the nextstep.
(38:29):
So just keep on moving closer and closer.
The opportunities will show up, but you've gotto take action.
And when you start to see those results, that'swhen the woo woo feeling starts to fall away,
and you see that it's an actual scientific,mechanical process, which you gotta keep going.
(38:53):
Yeah.
Definitely.
And, also, it is no shouldn't be hard.
It shouldn't be hard.
When you are aligned with your goals, this ishow it happen happens effortlessly because you
get to the right frequency.
Like, there is, like, multiple of differentchannels.
(39:14):
And according to the way you think now, yourbody transmits this frequency, like vibration,
and you said to certain channel.
And everything what you see in life, who youmeet, everything what's happening is in the
channel of that frequency.
(39:35):
Right?
So it is like being listening AM, as you haveto to own radio to certain frequency, which
will be in AM, and you will only listen thoseprograms.
You will not listen anything which is beyond,for example, FM.
Because for FM, you have to get to differentfrequency.
(39:58):
And this is exactly our brain is, like thatreceiving and sending station.
It is like radio.
And by choosing thoughts, we set the frequency.
And this is how, like, when you set differentgoals bigger than you are now, and this is how
you start thinking from that frequency becauseyou already start seeing yourself visualizing
(40:23):
and feeling as that.
And this is how your brain flips to thatfrequency, and this is how your channel
changes.
Old friends are not interested anymore.
Maybe they're not interested in you because youdon't have anything common anymore.
You're already there, and you you startattracting new people, and you start attracting
new ideas.
(40:44):
This is how everything changes.
Everything starts from the goal.
Yeah.
Goal sets you that the person of frequencywhere who you have to become to get there.
And if you really see yourself, feel yourself,believe in yourself, and have other people who
believe in you that you can get there, this ishow you will get there.
(41:08):
Yep.
And that's so true.
And and one of the things that I hear frompeople or I've heard in the past from people is
when I started to emit a higher frequency andstarted to seek to connect with people of a
higher frequency, sometimes the people in theprevious frequencies will get upset with you
and say, oh, you're what?
Are you better than me now?
(41:28):
I'm not good enough for you anymore.
And it's not better or worse.
It's just a different frequency.
And sometimes you go maybe to an event.
I used to go to a lot of business networkingand there would be people in there that I'd
never met, but I would see them.
And I would talk to them for a minute andthink, oh my gosh.
What a wonderful energy this person has.
(41:48):
I love their frequency.
And I was at an event.
Gosh.
This is now twenty years ago.
And I was there, and I knew a pretty goodamount of the people there.
And I was talking with people as I made my waythrough the event.
It was very busy.
And I had a a a glass of ginger ale and somecheese and crackers, and it just kinda went to
a private a little quiet area just to to enjoymy snacks.
(42:11):
And a woman came over and and said, hi.
We've never met, but could I just stand next toyou for a few minutes?
And I thought Mhmm.
Sure.
You know, my name is Steve, and she introducedherself.
And she said, this is my first time here.
I don't know anybody, but I just watched youtalking with people the whole way through.
And all I saw were smiles and good energy, AndI just wanted to know if I could stand next to
(42:36):
you for a few minutes and absorb some of thatenergy.
And I thought, first off, I'm honored.
And second, I said, well, don't just standthere.
Let's have a conversation.
And and I said, I I don't know what you do, buttell me who is your favorite person you got to
help this week, or what problem did you make goaway for somebody in your work?
(42:56):
And she just lit up, and she goes, well, oh mygosh.
I'm, you know, I'm in this field, and and thisperson came to us with a problem, and I was
able to help them.
And I'm watching her face the whole time, andshe's smiling.
And she's at a whole other frequency than whenshe was shut down feeling that she wasn't
worthy of being in the room.
And then she said, oh my gosh.
I've been talking forever.
(43:17):
What do you do?
And I just looked at her, and I said, this.
I talk with people, I share good energy.
Oh my gosh.
That's what I do for a living.
I get to be positive for a living.
And twenty years ago, and I'm still rememberingthat conversation, that was a teaching moment
for me to make sure I'm always at my highestpossible frequency no matter where I am.
(43:44):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because you never know.
Yeah.
You never know how many people really you canhelp even by standing near you because they
really feel that they need that energy because,I don't know, so many people have so different
challenges in life.
And sometimes they just need this, like, freshair just to be with somebody who can believe
(44:07):
them and who can believe in them and supportthem.
And this little bit can be enough for people toeven change their perspective and become
optimistic about life and to taking steps toimprove the situation.
Yep.
One of my favorite conversations ever.
(44:28):
And like I said, twenty years later, I'm stillreliving the energy of it.
And it it just it just made me happy just toshare.
I haven't shared that a long time, so I'm gonnaI'm gonna remember to keep that in my pocket
and and continue to tell that story becausesomebody might be going to their very first
ever networking event the day after they hearme share that, and they may walk into that room
(44:53):
differently because of it remembering to bringtheir frequency up.
So it's what you and I do.
We just we just try to share our energy as bestwe can, and what people grab on and take,
wonderful.
I love that.
Yeah.
Thank you so much for being today.
Amazing guest in our podcast.
(45:13):
And this is what is our purpose, to upliftpeople, to give them knowledge, to give them
really vision, how they can live, how they canthink big, set big goals.
And everything is possible.
Everything is possible when you surroundyourself with successful people.
And successful people also were not, somebodywho were born with silver spoons.
(45:37):
You said you had so many challenges.
You just learned.
You you learned from mistakes.
You learned from failures.
And now it is so powerful and so pricelessexperience, which, we can share with the world
from our lives.
And, people can learn, and they can save years.
(46:00):
They can save years of their lives, and theycan be successful just implementing, reaching
out to you, to other other guests.
And now we we have no lack of knowledge, nolack of support.
There are so many amazing coaches like you,and, I'm really pleased that, you had today,
(46:22):
this we had this conversation.
And before we wrap up our episode, what wouldbe one advice that you will would like to share
with people related to setting big goals,making plans, taking action, and manifesting
this in their lives?
Yeah.
The first thing I suggest to everybody is turnoff your phone, go somewhere quiet, Bring a pen
(46:47):
and some paper with you.
Don't be texting this stuff on your phone.
A pen and a paper.
And think of all the areas of life I mentionedearlier, your health, your emotions, your
relationships, your core values, your faith,your connection with people, your work, and
your money.
Think of where your life is right now, andthink of where you'd like it to be just one
year from now.
Don't start with the twenty year stuff yet.
(47:09):
One year from now, and think of the littlesteps you can take to start to get that wheel
moving, to start to climb up that first hill.
And when you write it, you're using both halvesof your brain.
So you're using the creative side and thescientific side, and then just start.
Think of one action you can take every day toget closer to just one of those goals.
(47:33):
Do not overwhelm yourself when you get startedbecause what you're doing is you're you're
hardwiring new and better habits.
You're surrounding yourself with better energy.
You're putting a better version of yourself outthere every day, but it all starts with that
pen and paper.
Somewhere quiet, turn off all things thatdistract you, and just give yourself that gift.
And like Elena said, start every day in themirror.
(47:56):
Point out one thing about yourself you like ortell yourself what you're gonna do that day or
just say, I love you to that person in themirror.
Even if you don't love the whole picture, justfind something about yourself you really like
and start there.
Yeah.
Love yourself because you're amazing.
(48:16):
You're amazing.
You have so much to give to the world, and itis everything about self compassion and love
because we can only love others if we loveourselves.
We cannot do something for others which wedon't do for ourselves.
So learn about yourself, learn about yourstrength, and encourage yourself.
(48:40):
Yes.
Encourage to be even 1% better every day.
1%, something small.
Celebrate your small wings.
Acknowledge what you do do and see how far youwill be.
Yeah.
And if you can every day, this is somethingI've been doing for over fourteen years.
I have a special journal just for gratitudes.
And in the morning when I start my day, I writedown my three favorite moments, not broad
(49:05):
broad.
Don't say I'm happy for my house, my job, andmy relationship.
I say, I got to talk to this person today.
I got to give a gift card to somebody at thegrocery store last night who did an act of
kindness for me.
I'll write that down in less than a line each,and I've been doing it for over fourteen years.
Thousands of moments.
(49:26):
And I think the greatest gift you can give toyour future self is something you're grateful
for today that you just take it takes me lessthan a minute every day to do this.
And I can look back ten years, read one, And ifI wrote it well enough and described it well
enough and made it emotionally connected, I canfeel that good emotion again.
(49:46):
So even if it's just one thing per day, tellyourself something you're proud of yourself for
doing, you're grateful for that happened.
And just so you know, Elena, tomorrow morning,I'm gonna write, I'm grateful that I was on
Elena's podcast.
So you're gonna be in my gratitude journaltomorrow morning, just so you know.
Thank you so much.
I really appreciate this and our conversation.
(50:08):
It was amazing to meet you, and I'm lookingforward to see you again on our future
episodes.
So maybe a panel discussion at the Circle ofFame with other experts would be great to learn
from you and hear your perspective.
I would be honored.
Thank you very much, and thank you for invitingme for this conversation.
You're most welcome.
(50:29):
See you soon again.
Yep.
