You keep creeping in my life, creeping into mymind.
Screw you.
Me and you, me versus you, any day of the week,I'm better than you.
(00:25):
Any day of the week, I'm better than you.
Freaking Bill.
Can't stand you, Bill.
Welcome back to the Purdium Podcast.
I'm Keaton Turner.
(00:46):
This is gonna be a wild one.
I'm a little bit I'm a little bit spicy thismorning.
And as usual, you guys get whatever's on mybrain, this day.
I'm 36 years old today.
If you're listening to this on March 28, Idon't need any, I don't need any birthday
(01:12):
wishes.
I don't need any swag.
I don't need any questions about getting older.
I'm 36.
It's just a fact of life.
I don't celebrate birthdays, but you have toacknowledge it.
(01:33):
And it's true.
You're gonna hear about it.
People are gonna say something.
I'm 36.
I'm getting older.
I got a lot more gray than I thought I wouldever have at 36.
But here's what's on my mind this morning.
Screw you, Bill.
You guys are wondering who the heck is Bill.
What in the world's wrong with this guy?
What did Bill do to Keaton?
(01:55):
Bill is the guy that I fear is gonna replace mesomeday.
Stick with me.
Okay?
This is gonna be a mind Bend.
You guys have probably heard if you listen upto these podcasts, you've probably heard me
talk about me dying early, me dying young,something happening.
(02:21):
Right?
Hopefully, it's a peaceful yeah.
I told Shelby one time.
I said, I'm gonna go out in a blaze of glory.
Like, hopefully, I'm stopping a bank robbery,and, you know, I take three or four bullets,
and I get five or six other guys with me on theway out.
And, and she always rolls her eyes.
She's used to this now.
I've been doing this for a couple years.
And so lately, I've, you know, I I've beentelling her.
(02:43):
I'm like, look.
Bill's not gonna be able to do half the thingsI do or at least as well as I can do them.
And she's like, what are you talking about?
I'm like, well, you know, when I die, you'regonna have I mean, a sexy little thing like
you, you're not gonna stay single that long.
You're gonna have to find somebody to at leasthelp out around the house.
(03:06):
It's probably gonna be some Delbert named Bill.
Boring.
Can't freaking cook.
Doesn't know doesn't know anywhere near thelevel of lovemaking talent that you've had in
the past with your now deceased husband.
Has no leadership qualities, doesn't motivatethe kids, doesn't motivate you.
(03:31):
Like, Bill's a freaking Delbert, but that's whoyou're gonna get stuck with.
And and, of course, my wife, you know, sometimedepending on the mood, sometimes she plays
along.
Other times, she just walks out of the room.
She's like, okay.
I'm not dealing with this today.
But every once in while, she'll say, oh, Idon't know.
Like last last night.
(03:51):
This is why I'm talking about it.
Last night, she goes, oh, Bill.
Bill wouldn't Bill wouldn't do that.
I don't even remember what it was.
I oh, I remember what it was.
She was in bed.
We stayed up too late.
We're killing ourselves over this nightlyroutine that I preached to you guys about.
We stayed up too late watching Lioness.
(04:12):
It's a great show, by the way.
We watched two episodes.
We should have only watched one.
We broke our own rule.
So we stayed up too late.
She gets in bed.
She gets in bed before I do.
I'm I'm left, you know, brushing my teeth orwhatever I'm doing.
I soon as I get ready to get in bed, she says,oh, hey.
By the way, can you turn all the lights off?
(04:35):
So I go go around, turn all the lights off.
I said, oh, it's alright.
I'll get it.
Kinda giving her a hard time.
I then walked over, turned the alarm on for ourhouse.
I said, hey.
I'll get it.
I'll turn the alarm on.
She's in bed all warm on her phone.
I then get ready to get in bed.
She's, oh, I need water.
I'm like, okay.
(04:56):
I'll get it.
And I start giving her a hard time about allthese things.
I'm like, hey.
Did you shut the garage door?
She's like, I think, but you might doublecheck.
So I gotta turn the alarm back off.
I gotta walk back out there and check to see ifthe garage door is closed.
And I I give her a hard time, and I'm like I'mlike, you know what?
Why don't I just handle everything?
I'll just do it all.
Kinda being a little spicy to her.
(05:18):
She goes, well, Bill Bill would.
Bill would Bill would take care of all that.
He wouldn't even ask.
He wouldn't give me a hard time.
And I'm like, oh, oh, here we go.
Bill, Like, Bill's at Delbert.
Bill will never be able to live up to me.
And I tell you guys this, one, because this isthe stuff that goes through my head.
(05:38):
But two, I am I am dead serious.
I'm not saying this just because it's on apodcast.
I'm not saying this to, make my wife laugh.
She would she would come on here and attest.
I am 100% dead serious.
When I'm doing things around the house, whenI'm doing things for Shelton, I'm cooking
(06:00):
dinner, anything I'm doing, I am trying to doit to such an extent that when I'm gone, they
weep and moan that I'm not there to do thosethings as well as I can do them.
I I try to do them so well that whoeverreplaces me someday looks like an absolute
(06:23):
idiot because they can't live up to the barthat I've set.
Everything.
You pick it.
You pick something around it.
You pick it, and that's what I think about.
I think about trying to be the best at it.
Yeah.
I'll make I'll make, like, mac and cheese forthe kids.
(06:45):
You know?
I'll make dinner for her or whatever.
You know?
Just random things.
I told you guys about the massage.
I want to do it so well that she can never findanybody better, and that's not how I've always
been, especially earlier on in marriage.
(07:08):
I I just kind of always assumed like, oh, yeah.
This marriage is kind of a downhill slide.
Right?
You get you get married.
Over the years, it just gets easier.
You get to know each other more.
Your trust builds.
You become closer, and you die peacefully inyour sleep at 87.
And that's not how marriage works.
(07:29):
At least not how my marriage works.
It's a constant pursuit.
It's harder now than it was twelve years ago.
We have three kids to feed.
We have schedules to keep.
I've got employees.
We have real things in life that we didn't havetwelve years ago.
(07:51):
We we we sometimes lay around and look back andlaugh at twelve years ago, how we thought it
was hard and what we're doing now.
Why I tell this story or this mindset that Itry to keep, why I even talk about it, is
because I think if I keep this mindset of beingafraid that someone else is gonna dethrone me
(08:15):
someday, you know, whether I'm here in personor gone, if I keep that mindset, at least at
least it pushes me to be better every day.
I'm not gonna complain about the dishes.
Bill wouldn't complain about the dishes, so whywould I complain about the dishes?
(08:36):
I'm not gonna do the same old same old boringdate every time.
Bill would get creative.
I'm not gonna put the same moves on her thatI've been putting on her the last fifteen
years.
Bill would come with a whole new bag of tricks,stuff I'd never even heard of.
I can't let that guy outdo me.
(08:56):
And what this turns into for me is being alifelong learner, and it's something that I
think is foundational.
I talked to you guys again, if you've listenedto this enough, you know there's these
foundational principles that I love.
I think being a lifelong learner is afoundational principle to success in marriage,
(09:16):
in business, in relationships, in sports.
Anything you wanna go try to be successful in,being a lifelong learner.
You know, the the dumb example I give was wasthe massage thing I did.
I know nothing about massages.
I spent half my day reading just to learn whatwhat what techniques.
(09:40):
And and then after, the next day, she goes, oh,when you did that thing with the arm where you
bent my arm and then I'm like, yeah.
I I had to read about that.
I had to learn, and and I wanna learn more forthe next time.
I think being a lifelong learner and beingexcited to get better is half the battle.
(10:04):
It's half the battle in marriage.
It's half the battle in business.
It's half the battle in your career.
Are you excited to get better in your career,in your in your business, in your marriage, or
you just wake up and it's it is what it is, andyou just float around wherever the wind blows
you, your days or however your days unfold.
(10:25):
It's so I'm telling you, it's so easy to do,especially in marriage.
Business, there's a lot of guys I know thatthey're they're, tenacious in in business or
their career.
They they chase after things, very aggressive.
But then you look at their marriage and they'relike, yeah.
We've been married fifteen years.
It's fine.
(10:48):
Is it fine?
I mean, is it fine?
Do you guys date?
Do you make love once every two months?
Or is it more often than that?
Is it less often than that?
Like, kinda weird stuff.
I know weird stuff to talk about.
I think half the battle is just being alifelong learner, learning what what are the
(11:12):
little tips and tricks, what are the tacticsthat are gonna make you successful in marriage,
in business, in your career, as a parent?
Because the game changes.
Right?
Marriage is one thing when you get married.
And then there, at least in my experience,there are four or five or six different
chapters, and each chapter takes a differenttechnique to get through it.
(11:35):
My mom I'm gonna try to find the text here assoon as I get parked.
I'm almost to the office.
My mom sent us a text, us kids, our familygroup chat.
She sent us a text here a couple weeks ago,last week, I think.
They her and my dad every year, they take acouple trips together, and this one, they were
in Florida, and, she texted us, a long thislong text about, making it through the valleys
(12:03):
of marriage, make it through those chaptersbecause the chapters that are later in life,
the late chapters of marriage are so amazing.
And that's the chapter she's in now.
She's she was speaking from her currentexperience and from her past experience.
And, you know, I just attribute so much of ourability to be successful in any one thing as
(12:28):
being a lifelong learner.
What are you learning about marriage?
What are you learning about your spouse?
What are you learning about parenting?
And I don't mean just like, oh, well, you know,my kids are going through these hard things, so
I'm learning how to deal with that.
Like, I don't mean just learning by livingthrough it.
(12:50):
I don't mean getting better at marriage justbecause you have an argument, and you've
learned, okay.
Well, now I know not to have that argument.
That's not that's not the kind of learning I'mtalking about.
I'm talking about intentional, diligent,focused effort on learning something.
Reading a book, listening to something,watching something, doing your homework, doing
(13:15):
your research, and then putting it into actionand see how did that work.
Got a new idea for a date night.
I learned it from some thing that I read, somegroup I was in.
I'm gonna try it.
How did it work?
Did she like it?
Did she hate it?
I learned this new idea about this businessthing.
Someone gave me a book.
I read it.
(13:35):
I'm reading traction right now.
It was a gift.
It's an EOS, book.
There's some cool things in there that I'mlearning.
I'm gonna try them, see if they work.
But I think being a lifelong learner is halfthe battle.
And then from there, you gotta you know,obviously, you gotta put the effort in.
You gotta try the things.
(13:56):
But too many times, we're just complacent.
And if you start approaching this is weird.
I'm just telling you, try it.
If you start approaching marriage thinking thatsomeone's gonna replace you in your marriage
someday, And I mean, get vivid.
(14:17):
Get visual.
Like, what's the guy look like?
He's probably better looking than you.
He's probably more fit than you.
He's probably got more money than you do.
He's got a better personality than you do.
He doesn't come home grouchy like you do.
He's creative and thoughtful around his dates,his text messages.
(14:42):
You start really thinking about that, Iguarantee you it drives a different action in
your life.
Different actions, little bitty things.
My wife sent me a text message yesterday.
I wish I could read it.
She would crucify me, so I can't read it.
But like little bitty text messages throughoutthe day, random things.
(15:06):
Do you do that?
If you don't do that, why not?
You probably did it when you were dating.
Flirty text messages, hey.
I'm thinking about you or I'm thinking aboutthis specific thing.
Like, just because you're married fifteen,twenty years doesn't mean you stop doing those
things.
I would actually argue you should be bettertwenty years later.
(15:26):
If you're a lifelong learner, you should getbetter at your game.
Your skill should increase.
I'm obviously, birthday birthday times arealways weird for me because it's like, man, did
I?
Am I any better than I was at 35?
(15:46):
30 six, am I any better than I was this timelast year?
It's a good little score it's it's a goodlittle way to check-in on, like, progress.
And if you don't think about progress at all, Ican promise you you're not getting better.
If you're not measuring it, if you're notmanaging it, it's not improving.
So if you're not thinking, man, how am Igetting better in marriage?
How am I getting better in business, in mycareer?
(16:09):
I think being a lifelong learner is half thebattle.
And it takes focus.
It takes intent.
It it takes so much effort, so much effort justto just to apply it, to say, you know what?
I'm I'm gonna get better.
I'm not gonna let Bill replace me someday andbe better than I was.
(16:36):
It it's a weird concept.
I know.
There's a guy I talked about, Gary Vee,recently.
He said one of the tricks he used to be abetter father and be a better husband.
Now, I I don't know all the details, but hismarriage ended in divorce, so take all that
(16:59):
with a grain of salt.
I don't know if they just weren't compatible orwhat.
They had a couple kids together, and one of thethings he said was, I wake up every morning and
vividly force my I I force myself to vividlypicture my family getting murdered.
I was like, woah.
(17:20):
This is deep.
I heard this on one of his podcasts a long timeago.
I don't know.
Five, six, seven, eight years ago.
He's like, I vividly picture my family gettingmurdered, taken away from me.
And I think I feel the emotions.
Some days it brings me to tears.
I go through it.
I take my three or four minutes and I imaginethe funerals.
(17:43):
I imagine me having to speak.
I get really vivid on the details of what thatwould look like.
And then for the rest of the day, it makes meso much more grateful and it changes my my
mentality, changes my mood and my mindsetaround how to be a better parent, how to be a
better father.
(18:04):
That's a little wild.
I don't do that.
But I do have this freaking guy, Bill, that'sliving in my mind that I'm not gonna let beat
me.
I'm just not gonna let it happen.
It's weird.
I you know, the little things we do to getmotivated, but I would pick something.
(18:26):
Yeah.
You know, pick your own version.
Maybe maybe it's Bill.
Maybe you sit down and imagine they'll all getin a car wreck.
I don't know what your thing is, but you haveto do something.
If you don't do anything, what I've found, andI'm I'm guilty of this.
I've done this.
If you don't do anything, what happens is youjust go through the motions year after year for
(18:46):
a long time.
And you wake up one day, and you're like, man,my wife's unhappy, and she's been unhappy.
And I didn't know she was unhappy.
She wanted more of me.
She wanted me to get more creative.
She wanted me to be more spontaneous.
She wanted me to be more flirty, tell her shelooked beautiful.
(19:07):
She wanted all these things.
I didn't know it.
Wasn't paying attention.
For me, I think Bill would know it.
Bill would be like, yeah, dude.
Your wife's hot today.
I got my eye on her.
I'm like, screw you, Bill.
I'm I'm gonna go tell her she's hot.
You're not gonna you're not gonna and and itShay, it's weird.
(19:29):
I know it's weird.
Some of you guys are like, dude, I'm gonna haveto unfollow this podcast.
I know it's weird, but it works, and it's notdumb if it works.
I'm gonna read you the text message I foundthat I pulled over.
My mom sent this last week, 03:25PM in theafternoon.
She said, to my precious children, When and Iand I I didn't ask her if she, I didn't ask her
(19:55):
if I could read this, but as you guys know,don't ask people.
I just do.
And if they get upset later, I ask for, I askfor an apology or or I apologize to them.
So she says, to my precious children, when yourmarriages are in the inevitable valley, think
of dad and me.
In December, we celebrate forty five yearssince our first date.
(20:20):
Think of us.
We are old, here on the beach.
He's making margaritas.
I'm spinning some tunes on the radio.
He spun me around on the beach when MorganWallen sang, Spin you around.
The reward for the valleys is great, in allcaps.
Love you all.
You're welcome.
(20:42):
And I think it's true.
I think if you do it long enough, forty fiveyears is a long time.
You're gonna have valleys.
You're gonna have dry seasons.
You're gonna be annoyed to death.
But I think if you really stop and think aboutit, somebody else would kill to be in your
position, kill to be in your marriage.
(21:04):
I know I know guys by name that would pouncethe day I hit the grave.
I know guys by name that would be texting mywife at my funeral.
(21:24):
Like real, like real guys, not Bill.
Bill's Bill's an invisible character, made up.
I know real guys that would do that.
And so if that's the case, why in the worldwouldn't I treat every day?
And you can't treat every you're gonna have baddays.
I have bad days.
Right?
There's some days I'm like, Bill, good luck,buddy.
(21:46):
Take her.
She's yours.
Have have have fun.
You too.
You don't even know what you're getting into,Bill.
She's she's gonna slap me for that comment.
But most days, if you really put yourself in amindset of like, man, I I don't want Bill to be
more legit than me.
I want my I want the memory that I leave for mykids and for my wife to be legit, and nobody
(22:14):
can replace how good he was at those things.
And so that's that's that's one way I thinkabout it.
I gotta I gotta message and I wanna I want to Iwanna play it for you guys.
I've been doing this lately.
I've got a bunch of video messages, voicemessages, and I wanna play it for you guys.
(22:36):
The Lost Dringer.
I I'll I'll read I'll read some more about thisin a second, but I wanna first play this audio
for you guys.
Keaton, first off, sorry I got my shirt jacketon.
It's a little chilly out, and I thought it'd bea little too much to be shirtless for this
(22:59):
video.
But listen, dude.
I've I've listened to every single one of yourpodcasts from the word go.
And without fail, if you go back and listen tothem all, you always use the word somewhere in
your podcast.
(23:20):
Now I can't be the only one in your fan base,can't be the only listener that has never used
never heard the word Delbert before used likethat.
I don't know what kind of back roads, end ofthe road, poe dunk, Coontown, cornstalk word
(23:42):
that is I'm pretty country.
And, but if you could explain that to us, giveus the definition, it would really help.
It'd help a lot.
Anyways, hope you have a great day.
See you.
So that was Justin Holmberg on Instagram, thelost Drenger.
(24:06):
I get messages from him all the time, and thatone cracked me up.
I I texted him back or I, I DM'd him back onInstagram.
I was like, dude, I am rolling laughing.
That's hilarious.
No one's ever called me out to that extent onmy vocab use of of Delbert.
(24:27):
So here's what Delbert means, mister Holmberg,just just because you asked.
Where where the where the where the concept ofthis word came from was my dad.
My dad is redneck to the core.
He says things like, oh my gosh.
You hear the rain out there?
Sounds like tall cow peeing on a flat rock.
(24:48):
You know, he has one liners.
My grandparents say, you know, Turnerisms.
He's got one liners for days.
He's how he was raised.
He was backwoods.
And and so I used to you know, there's when youcome from where he comes from, there are people
named Colbert and Delbert all over the place,or at least a lot more frequent than you would
(25:11):
imagine.
And and so, you know, of course, raising me andmy my brother and sister, I was the dumb one.
Right?
I would always do something stupid.
I I had no I had no frontal lobe development,until I was probably 25 years old.
And so my decision making historically has beenpretty poor, right, driving camo trucks around,
(25:38):
you know, getting I got my Bronco stuck out inLake Monroe 1 day when the tide when the when
the lake went down, we were just like, yeah,we're gonna go mudding, and and we're way out
in the freaking middle of the lake, and I'mstuck in a Bronco, and DNR comes out there.
It's a whole different story.
I'll tell that story someday.
So he just, over the years, coined the termDelbert.
(26:00):
He's like he's like, easy, Delbert.
And as I've now I've got a young boy, my sisterand her husband, they have a a young boy.
Those two don't always make the best decisions,especially when they're together.
And so the term Delbert over the last ten yearshas even become more prolific because now I get
to call my son Delbert.
(26:21):
And actually, I call all my kids Delbert.
And so this term that used to be a name, right?
My dad used to call me Delbert or Colbertbecause he was making fun of me because of the
people he knew and grew up with, that justmanifested and evolved over the years to now.
If you if you're an idiot or you make dumbdecisions without using your brain, you're a
(26:44):
Delbert.
If you're huge shout out to Brady Weaver.
Brady called me yesterday, had a blast chattingwith Brady Weaver.
We talked for half an hour, and and we we weretelling some old stories, and some of these
some of these guys that we, you know, we usedto know came back into his life recently.
Sounds like they're gonna come back into mylife, Brady.
(27:06):
Massive Delberts, And we were just cacklinglike a bunch of hens on the phone talking about
how big of Delberts we used to be and how big aDelberts the people we used to hang out with
still are.
They never graduated from being a Delbert.
Jeff Stevens also makes fun of me for usingthis term.
He had never heard the term Delbert, and he'sheard me talk about it.
(27:29):
It's kind of a it's kind of a Midwestern way ofsaying bless your heart.
Right?
You don't wanna call him you don't wanna callhim a very derogatory word.
You don't wanna be I don't use profanity.
So a very kind way of saying someone's notintelligent is to call him a Delbert.
A very kind way to say, hey.
(27:50):
Maybe you are intelligent, but you haven't usedany of your intelligence today or in this or in
this moment.
You're a Delbert.
You come downstairs dressed like the clothesare three sizes too small or four sizes too
big.
You're a Delbert.
You know?
(28:11):
You stay out way too late with the guys, andyou show up the next morning and you miss our
tea time, or you miss a business meeting or youlook like death warmed over, you're a Delbert.
I can give you a million examples, misterHolmberg.
I'm not going to, but that is that is, that isthe definition of a Delbert.
(28:33):
And and I think how you solve the challenge ofnot being a Delbert is being a lifelong
learner.
Serious.
I'm serious about this.
I'm gonna take it back to I'm gonna take itback to reality for a second.
Back to the real topic.
(28:55):
I think being a lifelong learner, I think itsolves so many problems.
So many prob it's weird when you when you lookat all the things in your life, like if I don't
know if you guys have ever taken an inventoryor evaluated all the things you don't like
about your life or wish were different.
When you take an inventory of all the thingsthat you wish were different in your life,
(29:20):
right?
Better marriage, more income, more fitness, youwant six pack abs, like whatever the thing is,
better friend group.
Almost all of those things, I would actuallyargue, all of those things can be can be
(29:41):
settled over time and achieved over time if youstart becoming a consistent learner now.
It's gonna take a long time.
Right?
Some of these things are big meaty thing.
Right?
You don't you don't go from making a hundred ka year to 250 k a year in a year or so.
(30:02):
At least most people don't.
That's a pretty wild jump.
Getting a phone call.
Hotline's burning up.
People trying to get on here.
You don't go from making a hundred to 2 50 in ayear or so.
It takes time.
But you'll never get there if you're not alifelong learner, if you're not a consistent,
(30:24):
intentional learner, if you're not investing inyourself that then deploys little actions
against it.
Every interaction should lead to action.
Like, don't leave an interaction and not deploysome action on the back end.
Even even the little things.
(30:44):
Right?
I'm gonna go get a beer with this guy.
Don't just go get a beer and then, okay, done.
Never say like, that interaction in some way,shape, or form should have action on the back
end.
Either, I love this guy.
I can't wait to do it again.
Here's what I wanna capture next time.
Here's how I think I can improve his life or heimprove my life, or the opposite.
(31:09):
That was a waste of my time.
I'm never gonna waste another hour with thatguy again.
His negativity, his attitude, he wanted togossip, whatever.
Being a lifelong learner, I think, solves somany problems.
Think it's half the battle.
I really do.
I think it's one of those foundationalprinciples that should get you excited to get
(31:32):
better at all the small areas of your life.
And the small little nooks and crannies of yourlife, if you get better in those areas, the
little actions produce big results.
Fully believe it.
I believe it's compounding.
Too many people wanna just go straight to thebig result.
(31:52):
I want the big job.
I want the big promotion.
I want the perfect marriage.
I like, you want the the result.
The the secret is it's all the little bittyactions.
The little bitty things you do day in and dayout for a long period of time.
And how you make those little bitty actionsbetter is being a lifelong learner.
(32:14):
So, a little bit preachy this morning.
I still hate Bill.
I hate his guts.
I I I'm gonna figure out how to keep beatinghim every day, and I can promise you, I can
promise you that when I get done, whatever donewhatever done looks like in my life, when I'm
(32:36):
at the end, Bill won't have a chance.
When you stack Bill up against me, go find thebest version of Bill.
Go find the best Bill out there.
Best looking, most physically fit, wealthydude.
Bill won't stand a chance.
(32:56):
I'll blow him away.
That's that's what I'm aiming for.
That's what I'm thinking about.
And I don't know.
I I hope that was helpful for some of you guys.
One more shout out, and I have to give a hugeshout out.
I got a box.
I got two boxes this week.
(33:16):
One one of them I told you guys about, misterCaden Cope, the AutoGuard hat, handwritten
letter, amazing.
I got another box, like, a day or two later.
My my people in my office probably think, youknow, what in the world is going on with all
these boxes coming in for Keaton?
I open this box up, and it is all kinds oflegit swag from bots grading.
(33:41):
I I cannot tell you how much I love the swag.
I actually need to know who's making your swag,Michael, because it's legit.
Michael Bautz, if you guys don't followMichael, Michael's been awesome.
He's listened to the podcast, I think, from,like, day one.
(34:03):
I'm a huge fan.
It's it's cool to follow him, and he's got acute little family, beautiful wife.
He's just an all American looking dude.
I don't know him personally.
I just got to interact with him over overInstagram.
But Michael Botts, follow Botts Grading atBotts Grading, b o t t s grading underscore llc
on Instagram.
(34:24):
Michael's been awesome, and I can't tell youhow much I appreciate the swag.
Some of these hats are legit.
I'm gonna post it on my Instagram.
And then the shirts are legit.
And then he gave and, again, a handwrittenletter.
It's amazing.
I'm in my truck.
I don't have it in front of me or I would readit, Michael.
But thank you so much, brother.
I am gonna load a box full of Turner stuff upand I'll send it back your way.
(34:47):
So so thank you.
I wanted to shout you out, brother.
You've been a loyal listener, and I lovegetting you know what I need from you, Michael?
One thing I haven't gotten, I need a video.
I need some audio from you.
I'd love an audio message from you, and it canbe on whatever you want.
(35:08):
Maybe it's about Bill.
I don't know.
Maybe it's about bots grading.
I need a I need a a voice message from you,brother.
But that's what I have for you guys today.
Unconventional, at this milestone in my life, abirthday.
(35:28):
I I just had to mention that this freaking guy,Bill, doesn't stand a chance.
Doesn't stand a chance.
Won't be able to cook as well as me.
Won't have near the moves I have.
Like, will never be able to woo her the way I'mwooing her.
I'm just convinced.
(35:49):
And I'm only getting better.
I was doing some reading this morning, tryingto figure out some new moves.
I'm only getting better.
You think I'm dangerous at 36?
Wait till I'm 46.
I'm gonna be a monster.
So thank you guys for listening.
I appreciate the audio for mister Holberg onhis question about Delbert's, and and I
(36:12):
appreciate you guys putting up with me.
This is this is a wild this is a wild, wildpodcast.
It seems to grow every day.
I've I don't exactly know why, especially whenI drop thoughts like this today.
But I appreciate you following along.
If you're getting a kick out of it, send it tosomebody you think will get a kick out of it.
And and if you're on Instagram, send me anaudio message, whether it's a question.
(36:37):
Some of you guys have been sending questions.
I'm gonna get back into the questionseventually.
I still have a few guests I wanna pull on.
I just haven't made the time to do that, tryingto fit it all in.
But Thank you guys for listening.
Pray you're getting your per diem.
Pray you're killing it.
And I pray that whatever version of Bill youhave in your mind, that you beat them today.
(37:01):
Don't let the Bills of the world beat you.
And if you are named Bill and you're listeningto this, you're dead to me.
Screw you, Bill.
Yeah.
I'm talking to you.
You know exactly who you are.
I can't stand you.
You keep creeping in my life, creeping into mymind.
Screw you.
Me and you, me versus you, any day of the week,I'm better than you.
(00:25):
Any day of the week, I'm better than you.
Freaking Bill.
Can't stand you, Bill.
Welcome back to the Purdium Podcast.
I'm Keaton Turner.
(00:46):
This is gonna be a wild one.
I'm a little bit I'm a little bit spicy thismorning.
And as usual, you guys get whatever's on mybrain, this day.
I'm 36 years old today.
If you're listening to this on March 28, Idon't need any, I don't need any birthday
(01:12):
wishes.
I don't need any swag.
I don't need any questions about getting older.
I'm 36.
It's just a fact of life.
I don't celebrate birthdays, but you have toacknowledge it.
(01:33):
And it's true.
You're gonna hear about it.
People are gonna say something.
I'm 36.
I'm getting older.
I got a lot more gray than I thought I wouldever have at 36.
But here's what's on my mind this morning.
Screw you, Bill.
You guys are wondering who the heck is Bill.
What in the world's wrong with this guy?
What did Bill do to Keaton?
(01:55):
Bill is the guy that I fear is gonna replace mesomeday.
Stick with me.
Okay?
This is gonna be a mind Bend.
You guys have probably heard if you listen upto these podcasts, you've probably heard me
talk about me dying early, me dying young,something happening.
(02:21):
Right?
Hopefully, it's a peaceful yeah.
I told Shelby one time.
I said, I'm gonna go out in a blaze of glory.
Like, hopefully, I'm stopping a bank robbery,and, you know, I take three or four bullets,
and I get five or six other guys with me on theway out.
And, and she always rolls her eyes.
She's used to this now.
I've been doing this for a couple years.
And so lately, I've, you know, I I've beentelling her.
(02:43):
I'm like, look.
Bill's not gonna be able to do half the thingsI do or at least as well as I can do them.
And she's like, what are you talking about?
I'm like, well, you know, when I die, you'regonna have I mean, a sexy little thing like
you, you're not gonna stay single that long.
You're gonna have to find somebody to at leasthelp out around the house.
(03:06):
It's probably gonna be some Delbert named Bill.
Boring.
Can't freaking cook.
Doesn't know doesn't know anywhere near thelevel of lovemaking talent that you've had in
the past with your now deceased husband.
Has no leadership qualities, doesn't motivatethe kids, doesn't motivate you.
(03:31):
Like, Bill's a freaking Delbert, but that's whoyou're gonna get stuck with.
And and, of course, my wife, you know, sometimedepending on the mood, sometimes she plays
along.
Other times, she just walks out of the room.
She's like, okay.
I'm not dealing with this today.
But every once in while, she'll say, oh, Idon't know.
Like last last night.
(03:51):
This is why I'm talking about it.
Last night, she goes, oh, Bill.
Bill wouldn't Bill wouldn't do that.
I don't even remember what it was.
I oh, I remember what it was.
She was in bed.
We stayed up too late.
We're killing ourselves over this nightlyroutine that I preached to you guys about.
We stayed up too late watching Lioness.
(04:12):
It's a great show, by the way.
We watched two episodes.
We should have only watched one.
We broke our own rule.
So we stayed up too late.
She gets in bed.
She gets in bed before I do.
I'm I'm left, you know, brushing my teeth orwhatever I'm doing.
I soon as I get ready to get in bed, she says,oh, hey.
By the way, can you turn all the lights off?
(04:35):
So I go go around, turn all the lights off.
I said, oh, it's alright.
I'll get it.
Kinda giving her a hard time.
I then walked over, turned the alarm on for ourhouse.
I said, hey.
I'll get it.
I'll turn the alarm on.
She's in bed all warm on her phone.
I then get ready to get in bed.
She's, oh, I need water.
I'm like, okay.
(04:56):
I'll get it.
And I start giving her a hard time about allthese things.
I'm like, hey.
Did you shut the garage door?
She's like, I think, but you might doublecheck.
So I gotta turn the alarm back off.
I gotta walk back out there and check to see ifthe garage door is closed.
And I I give her a hard time, and I'm like I'mlike, you know what?
Why don't I just handle everything?
I'll just do it all.
Kinda being a little spicy to her.
(05:18):
She goes, well, Bill Bill would.
Bill would Bill would take care of all that.
He wouldn't even ask.
He wouldn't give me a hard time.
And I'm like, oh, oh, here we go.
Bill, Like, Bill's at Delbert.
Bill will never be able to live up to me.
And I tell you guys this, one, because this isthe stuff that goes through my head.
(05:38):
But two, I am I am dead serious.
I'm not saying this just because it's on apodcast.
I'm not saying this to, make my wife laugh.
She would she would come on here and attest.
I am 100% dead serious.
When I'm doing things around the house, whenI'm doing things for Shelton, I'm cooking
(06:00):
dinner, anything I'm doing, I am trying to doit to such an extent that when I'm gone, they
weep and moan that I'm not there to do thosethings as well as I can do them.
I I try to do them so well that whoeverreplaces me someday looks like an absolute
(06:23):
idiot because they can't live up to the barthat I've set.
Everything.
You pick it.
You pick something around it.
You pick it, and that's what I think about.
I think about trying to be the best at it.
Yeah.
I'll make I'll make, like, mac and cheese forthe kids.
(06:45):
You know?
I'll make dinner for her or whatever.
You know?
Just random things.
I told you guys about the massage.
I want to do it so well that she can never findanybody better, and that's not how I've always
been, especially earlier on in marriage.
(07:08):
I I just kind of always assumed like, oh, yeah.
This marriage is kind of a downhill slide.
Right?
You get you get married.
Over the years, it just gets easier.
You get to know each other more.
Your trust builds.
You become closer, and you die peacefully inyour sleep at 87.
And that's not how marriage works.
(07:29):
At least not how my marriage works.
It's a constant pursuit.
It's harder now than it was twelve years ago.
We have three kids to feed.
We have schedules to keep.
I've got employees.
We have real things in life that we didn't havetwelve years ago.
(07:51):
We we we sometimes lay around and look back andlaugh at twelve years ago, how we thought it
was hard and what we're doing now.
Why I tell this story or this mindset that Itry to keep, why I even talk about it, is
because I think if I keep this mindset of beingafraid that someone else is gonna dethrone me
(08:15):
someday, you know, whether I'm here in personor gone, if I keep that mindset, at least at
least it pushes me to be better every day.
I'm not gonna complain about the dishes.
Bill wouldn't complain about the dishes, so whywould I complain about the dishes?
(08:36):
I'm not gonna do the same old same old boringdate every time.
Bill would get creative.
I'm not gonna put the same moves on her thatI've been putting on her the last fifteen
years.
Bill would come with a whole new bag of tricks,stuff I'd never even heard of.
I can't let that guy outdo me.
(08:56):
And what this turns into for me is being alifelong learner, and it's something that I
think is foundational.
I talked to you guys again, if you've listenedto this enough, you know there's these
foundational principles that I love.
I think being a lifelong learner is afoundational principle to success in marriage,
(09:16):
in business, in relationships, in sports.
Anything you wanna go try to be successful in,being a lifelong learner.
You know, the the dumb example I give was wasthe massage thing I did.
I know nothing about massages.
I spent half my day reading just to learn whatwhat what techniques.
(09:40):
And and then after, the next day, she goes, oh,when you did that thing with the arm where you
bent my arm and then I'm like, yeah.
I I had to read about that.
I had to learn, and and I wanna learn more forthe next time.
I think being a lifelong learner and beingexcited to get better is half the battle.
(10:04):
It's half the battle in marriage.
It's half the battle in business.
It's half the battle in your career.
Are you excited to get better in your career,in your in your business, in your marriage, or
you just wake up and it's it is what it is, andyou just float around wherever the wind blows
you, your days or however your days unfold.
(10:25):
It's so I'm telling you, it's so easy to do,especially in marriage.
Business, there's a lot of guys I know thatthey're they're, tenacious in in business or
their career.
They they chase after things, very aggressive.
But then you look at their marriage and they'relike, yeah.
We've been married fifteen years.
It's fine.
(10:48):
Is it fine?
I mean, is it fine?
Do you guys date?
Do you make love once every two months?
Or is it more often than that?
Is it less often than that?
Like, kinda weird stuff.
I know weird stuff to talk about.
I think half the battle is just being alifelong learner, learning what what are the
(11:12):
little tips and tricks, what are the tacticsthat are gonna make you successful in marriage,
in business, in your career, as a parent?
Because the game changes.
Right?
Marriage is one thing when you get married.
And then there, at least in my experience,there are four or five or six different
chapters, and each chapter takes a differenttechnique to get through it.
(11:35):
My mom I'm gonna try to find the text here assoon as I get parked.
I'm almost to the office.
My mom sent us a text, us kids, our familygroup chat.
She sent us a text here a couple weeks ago,last week, I think.
They her and my dad every year, they take acouple trips together, and this one, they were
in Florida, and, she texted us, a long thislong text about, making it through the valleys
(12:03):
of marriage, make it through those chaptersbecause the chapters that are later in life,
the late chapters of marriage are so amazing.
And that's the chapter she's in now.
She's she was speaking from her currentexperience and from her past experience.
And, you know, I just attribute so much of ourability to be successful in any one thing as
(12:28):
being a lifelong learner.
What are you learning about marriage?
What are you learning about your spouse?
What are you learning about parenting?
And I don't mean just like, oh, well, you know,my kids are going through these hard things, so
I'm learning how to deal with that.
Like, I don't mean just learning by livingthrough it.
(12:50):
I don't mean getting better at marriage justbecause you have an argument, and you've
learned, okay.
Well, now I know not to have that argument.
That's not that's not the kind of learning I'mtalking about.
I'm talking about intentional, diligent,focused effort on learning something.
Reading a book, listening to something,watching something, doing your homework, doing
(13:15):
your research, and then putting it into actionand see how did that work.
Got a new idea for a date night.
I learned it from some thing that I read, somegroup I was in.
I'm gonna try it.
How did it work?
Did she like it?
Did she hate it?
I learned this new idea about this businessthing.
Someone gave me a book.
I read it.
(13:35):
I'm reading traction right now.
It was a gift.
It's an EOS, book.
There's some cool things in there that I'mlearning.
I'm gonna try them, see if they work.
But I think being a lifelong learner is halfthe battle.
And then from there, you gotta you know,obviously, you gotta put the effort in.
You gotta try the things.
(13:56):
But too many times, we're just complacent.
And if you start approaching this is weird.
I'm just telling you, try it.
If you start approaching marriage thinking thatsomeone's gonna replace you in your marriage
someday, And I mean, get vivid.
(14:17):
Get visual.
Like, what's the guy look like?
He's probably better looking than you.
He's probably more fit than you.
He's probably got more money than you do.
He's got a better personality than you do.
He doesn't come home grouchy like you do.
He's creative and thoughtful around his dates,his text messages.
(14:42):
You start really thinking about that, Iguarantee you it drives a different action in
your life.
Different actions, little bitty things.
My wife sent me a text message yesterday.
I wish I could read it.
She would crucify me, so I can't read it.
But like little bitty text messages throughoutthe day, random things.
(15:06):
Do you do that?
If you don't do that, why not?
You probably did it when you were dating.
Flirty text messages, hey.
I'm thinking about you or I'm thinking aboutthis specific thing.
Like, just because you're married fifteen,twenty years doesn't mean you stop doing those
things.
I would actually argue you should be bettertwenty years later.
(15:26):
If you're a lifelong learner, you should getbetter at your game.
Your skill should increase.
I'm obviously, birthday birthday times arealways weird for me because it's like, man, did
I?
Am I any better than I was at 35?
(15:46):
30 six, am I any better than I was this timelast year?
It's a good little score it's it's a goodlittle way to check-in on, like, progress.
And if you don't think about progress at all, Ican promise you you're not getting better.
If you're not measuring it, if you're notmanaging it, it's not improving.
So if you're not thinking, man, how am Igetting better in marriage?
How am I getting better in business, in mycareer?
(16:09):
I think being a lifelong learner is half thebattle.
And it takes focus.
It takes intent.
It it takes so much effort, so much effort justto just to apply it, to say, you know what?
I'm I'm gonna get better.
I'm not gonna let Bill replace me someday andbe better than I was.
(16:36):
It it's a weird concept.
I know.
There's a guy I talked about, Gary Vee,recently.
He said one of the tricks he used to be abetter father and be a better husband.
Now, I I don't know all the details, but hismarriage ended in divorce, so take all that
(16:59):
with a grain of salt.
I don't know if they just weren't compatible orwhat.
They had a couple kids together, and one of thethings he said was, I wake up every morning and
vividly force my I I force myself to vividlypicture my family getting murdered.
I was like, woah.
(17:20):
This is deep.
I heard this on one of his podcasts a long timeago.
I don't know.
Five, six, seven, eight years ago.
He's like, I vividly picture my family gettingmurdered, taken away from me.
And I think I feel the emotions.
Some days it brings me to tears.
I go through it.
I take my three or four minutes and I imaginethe funerals.
(17:43):
I imagine me having to speak.
I get really vivid on the details of what thatwould look like.
And then for the rest of the day, it makes meso much more grateful and it changes my my
mentality, changes my mood and my mindsetaround how to be a better parent, how to be a
better father.
(18:04):
That's a little wild.
I don't do that.
But I do have this freaking guy, Bill, that'sliving in my mind that I'm not gonna let beat
me.
I'm just not gonna let it happen.
It's weird.
I you know, the little things we do to getmotivated, but I would pick something.
(18:26):
Yeah.
You know, pick your own version.
Maybe maybe it's Bill.
Maybe you sit down and imagine they'll all getin a car wreck.
I don't know what your thing is, but you haveto do something.
If you don't do anything, what I've found, andI'm I'm guilty of this.
I've done this.
If you don't do anything, what happens is youjust go through the motions year after year for
(18:46):
a long time.
And you wake up one day, and you're like, man,my wife's unhappy, and she's been unhappy.
And I didn't know she was unhappy.
She wanted more of me.
She wanted me to get more creative.
She wanted me to be more spontaneous.
She wanted me to be more flirty, tell her shelooked beautiful.
(19:07):
She wanted all these things.
I didn't know it.
Wasn't paying attention.
For me, I think Bill would know it.
Bill would be like, yeah, dude.
Your wife's hot today.
I got my eye on her.
I'm like, screw you, Bill.
I'm I'm gonna go tell her she's hot.
You're not gonna you're not gonna and and itShay, it's weird.
(19:29):
I know it's weird.
Some of you guys are like, dude, I'm gonna haveto unfollow this podcast.
I know it's weird, but it works, and it's notdumb if it works.
I'm gonna read you the text message I foundthat I pulled over.
My mom sent this last week, 03:25PM in theafternoon.
She said, to my precious children, When and Iand I I didn't ask her if she, I didn't ask her
(19:55):
if I could read this, but as you guys know,don't ask people.
I just do.
And if they get upset later, I ask for, I askfor an apology or or I apologize to them.
So she says, to my precious children, when yourmarriages are in the inevitable valley, think
of dad and me.
In December, we celebrate forty five yearssince our first date.
(20:20):
Think of us.
We are old, here on the beach.
He's making margaritas.
I'm spinning some tunes on the radio.
He spun me around on the beach when MorganWallen sang, Spin you around.
The reward for the valleys is great, in allcaps.
Love you all.
You're welcome.
(20:42):
And I think it's true.
I think if you do it long enough, forty fiveyears is a long time.
You're gonna have valleys.
You're gonna have dry seasons.
You're gonna be annoyed to death.
But I think if you really stop and think aboutit, somebody else would kill to be in your
position, kill to be in your marriage.
(21:04):
I know I know guys by name that would pouncethe day I hit the grave.
I know guys by name that would be texting mywife at my funeral.
(21:24):
Like real, like real guys, not Bill.
Bill's Bill's an invisible character, made up.
I know real guys that would do that.
And so if that's the case, why in the worldwouldn't I treat every day?
And you can't treat every you're gonna have baddays.
I have bad days.
Right?
There's some days I'm like, Bill, good luck,buddy.
(21:46):
Take her.
She's yours.
Have have have fun.
You too.
You don't even know what you're getting into,Bill.
She's she's gonna slap me for that comment.
But most days, if you really put yourself in amindset of like, man, I I don't want Bill to be
more legit than me.
I want my I want the memory that I leave for mykids and for my wife to be legit, and nobody
(22:14):
can replace how good he was at those things.
And so that's that's that's one way I thinkabout it.
I gotta I gotta message and I wanna I want to Iwanna play it for you guys.
I've been doing this lately.
I've got a bunch of video messages, voicemessages, and I wanna play it for you guys.
(22:36):
The Lost Dringer.
I I'll I'll read I'll read some more about thisin a second, but I wanna first play this audio
for you guys.
Keaton, first off, sorry I got my shirt jacketon.
It's a little chilly out, and I thought it'd bea little too much to be shirtless for this
(22:59):
video.
But listen, dude.
I've I've listened to every single one of yourpodcasts from the word go.
And without fail, if you go back and listen tothem all, you always use the word somewhere in
your podcast.
(23:20):
Now I can't be the only one in your fan base,can't be the only listener that has never used
never heard the word Delbert before used likethat.
I don't know what kind of back roads, end ofthe road, poe dunk, Coontown, cornstalk word
(23:42):
that is I'm pretty country.
And, but if you could explain that to us, giveus the definition, it would really help.
It'd help a lot.
Anyways, hope you have a great day.
See you.
So that was Justin Holmberg on Instagram, thelost Drenger.
(24:06):
I get messages from him all the time, and thatone cracked me up.
I I texted him back or I, I DM'd him back onInstagram.
I was like, dude, I am rolling laughing.
That's hilarious.
No one's ever called me out to that extent onmy vocab use of of Delbert.
(24:27):
So here's what Delbert means, mister Holmberg,just just because you asked.
Where where the where the where the concept ofthis word came from was my dad.
My dad is redneck to the core.
He says things like, oh my gosh.
You hear the rain out there?
Sounds like tall cow peeing on a flat rock.
(24:48):
You know, he has one liners.
My grandparents say, you know, Turnerisms.
He's got one liners for days.
He's how he was raised.
He was backwoods.
And and so I used to you know, there's when youcome from where he comes from, there are people
named Colbert and Delbert all over the place,or at least a lot more frequent than you would
(25:11):
imagine.
And and so, you know, of course, raising me andmy my brother and sister, I was the dumb one.
Right?
I would always do something stupid.
I I had no I had no frontal lobe development,until I was probably 25 years old.
And so my decision making historically has beenpretty poor, right, driving camo trucks around,
(25:38):
you know, getting I got my Bronco stuck out inLake Monroe 1 day when the tide when the when
the lake went down, we were just like, yeah,we're gonna go mudding, and and we're way out
in the freaking middle of the lake, and I'mstuck in a Bronco, and DNR comes out there.
It's a whole different story.
I'll tell that story someday.
So he just, over the years, coined the termDelbert.
(26:00):
He's like he's like, easy, Delbert.
And as I've now I've got a young boy, my sisterand her husband, they have a a young boy.
Those two don't always make the best decisions,especially when they're together.
And so the term Delbert over the last ten yearshas even become more prolific because now I get
to call my son Delbert.
(26:21):
And actually, I call all my kids Delbert.
And so this term that used to be a name, right?
My dad used to call me Delbert or Colbertbecause he was making fun of me because of the
people he knew and grew up with, that justmanifested and evolved over the years to now.
If you if you're an idiot or you make dumbdecisions without using your brain, you're a
(26:44):
Delbert.
If you're huge shout out to Brady Weaver.
Brady called me yesterday, had a blast chattingwith Brady Weaver.
We talked for half an hour, and and we we weretelling some old stories, and some of these
some of these guys that we, you know, we usedto know came back into his life recently.
Sounds like they're gonna come back into mylife, Brady.
(27:06):
Massive Delberts, And we were just cacklinglike a bunch of hens on the phone talking about
how big of Delberts we used to be and how big aDelberts the people we used to hang out with
still are.
They never graduated from being a Delbert.
Jeff Stevens also makes fun of me for usingthis term.
He had never heard the term Delbert, and he'sheard me talk about it.
(27:29):
It's kind of a it's kind of a Midwestern way ofsaying bless your heart.
Right?
You don't wanna call him you don't wanna callhim a very derogatory word.
You don't wanna be I don't use profanity.
So a very kind way of saying someone's notintelligent is to call him a Delbert.
A very kind way to say, hey.
(27:50):
Maybe you are intelligent, but you haven't usedany of your intelligence today or in this or in
this moment.
You're a Delbert.
You come downstairs dressed like the clothesare three sizes too small or four sizes too
big.
You're a Delbert.
You know?
(28:11):
You stay out way too late with the guys, andyou show up the next morning and you miss our
tea time, or you miss a business meeting or youlook like death warmed over, you're a Delbert.
I can give you a million examples, misterHolmberg.
I'm not going to, but that is that is, that isthe definition of a Delbert.
(28:33):
And and I think how you solve the challenge ofnot being a Delbert is being a lifelong
learner.
Serious.
I'm serious about this.
I'm gonna take it back to I'm gonna take itback to reality for a second.
Back to the real topic.
(28:55):
I think being a lifelong learner, I think itsolves so many problems.
So many prob it's weird when you when you lookat all the things in your life, like if I don't
know if you guys have ever taken an inventoryor evaluated all the things you don't like
about your life or wish were different.
When you take an inventory of all the thingsthat you wish were different in your life,
(29:20):
right?
Better marriage, more income, more fitness, youwant six pack abs, like whatever the thing is,
better friend group.
Almost all of those things, I would actuallyargue, all of those things can be can be
(29:41):
settled over time and achieved over time if youstart becoming a consistent learner now.
It's gonna take a long time.
Right?
Some of these things are big meaty thing.
Right?
You don't you don't go from making a hundred ka year to 250 k a year in a year or so.
(30:02):
At least most people don't.
That's a pretty wild jump.
Getting a phone call.
Hotline's burning up.
People trying to get on here.
You don't go from making a hundred to 2 50 in ayear or so.
It takes time.
But you'll never get there if you're not alifelong learner, if you're not a consistent,
(30:24):
intentional learner, if you're not investing inyourself that then deploys little actions
against it.
Every interaction should lead to action.
Like, don't leave an interaction and not deploysome action on the back end.
Even even the little things.
(30:44):
Right?
I'm gonna go get a beer with this guy.
Don't just go get a beer and then, okay, done.
Never say like, that interaction in some way,shape, or form should have action on the back
end.
Either, I love this guy.
I can't wait to do it again.
Here's what I wanna capture next time.
Here's how I think I can improve his life or heimprove my life, or the opposite.
(31:09):
That was a waste of my time.
I'm never gonna waste another hour with thatguy again.
His negativity, his attitude, he wanted togossip, whatever.
Being a lifelong learner, I think, solves somany problems.
Think it's half the battle.
I really do.
I think it's one of those foundationalprinciples that should get you excited to get
(31:32):
better at all the small areas of your life.
And the small little nooks and crannies of yourlife, if you get better in those areas, the
little actions produce big results.
Fully believe it.
I believe it's compounding.
Too many people wanna just go straight to thebig result.
(31:52):
I want the big job.
I want the big promotion.
I want the perfect marriage.
I like, you want the the result.
The the secret is it's all the little bittyactions.
The little bitty things you do day in and dayout for a long period of time.
And how you make those little bitty actionsbetter is being a lifelong learner.
(32:14):
So, a little bit preachy this morning.
I still hate Bill.
I hate his guts.
I I I'm gonna figure out how to keep beatinghim every day, and I can promise you, I can
promise you that when I get done, whatever donewhatever done looks like in my life, when I'm
(32:36):
at the end, Bill won't have a chance.
When you stack Bill up against me, go find thebest version of Bill.
Go find the best Bill out there.
Best looking, most physically fit, wealthydude.
Bill won't stand a chance.
(32:56):
I'll blow him away.
That's that's what I'm aiming for.
That's what I'm thinking about.
And I don't know.
I I hope that was helpful for some of you guys.
One more shout out, and I have to give a hugeshout out.
I got a box.
I got two boxes this week.
(33:16):
One one of them I told you guys about, misterCaden Cope, the AutoGuard hat, handwritten
letter, amazing.
I got another box, like, a day or two later.
My my people in my office probably think, youknow, what in the world is going on with all
these boxes coming in for Keaton?
I open this box up, and it is all kinds oflegit swag from bots grading.
(33:41):
I I cannot tell you how much I love the swag.
I actually need to know who's making your swag,Michael, because it's legit.

He's just an all American looking dude.
I don't know him personally.
I just got to interact with him over overInstagram.
But Michael Botts, follow Botts Grading atBotts Grading, b o t t s grading underscore llc

And then the shirts are legit.
And then he gave and, again, a handwrittenletter.

I need a I need a a voice message from you,brother.
But that's what I have for you guys today.
Unconventional, at this milestone in my life, abirthday.
(35:28):
I I just had to mention that this freaking guy,Bill, doesn't stand a chance.
Doesn't stand a chance.
Won't be able to cook as well as me.
Won't have near the moves I have.
Like, will never be able to woo her the way I'mwooing her.
I'm just convinced.
(35:49):
And I'm only getting better.
I was doing some reading this morning, tryingto figure out some new moves.
I'm only getting better.
You think I'm dangerous at 36?
Wait till I'm 46.
I'm gonna be a monster.
So thank you guys for listening.

I just haven't made the time to do that, tryingto fit it all in.
But Thank you guys for listening.
Pray you're getting your per diem.
Pray you're killing it.
