Speaker 1 (00:00):
The first principle of success Be, do have.
And what's really interestingabout that is I have to become
the person.
Being speaks.
My identity, my identity is whoI am.
Now here's the problem.
Most people have a phantomidentity.
What I mean by that is theydon't know who they are based on
, whose they are, becausethey're more in tune with what I
call their lie-dentity thanthey are their identity.
What's their lie-dentity?
(00:26):
Is all the things all thepeople in their lives told them,
all their lives.
They are not.
You're not smart enough, you'renot tall enough, you're not
educated enough, you're not goodenough, you're not rich enough,
you're not handsome enough,you're not beautiful enough, you
can't dance good enough, youcan't sing good enough, you
can't run fast enough, you can'tfight tough enough.
Who you are is not enough.
That is your lie-dentity.
Most, they are more familiarwith who they are than they are
familiar with who they are.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
All right, welcome to another edition to the Journey
to Freedom podcast.
I am Dr B, I'm your host today,and today is an exciting,
special episode.
It's my first episode everworking with somebody who has
over 1 million subscribers, andso Mayan hit that just in the
(01:18):
last few months and it has justbeen just so fun watching the
progress over the last threeyears.
I think it was a couple hundredthousand, maybe 300,000 when I
started watching him and just towatch it progress over time, I
don't know.
First, I just watched a videowith you and Omar and at the
(01:38):
beginning of Omar, omar said Iwant to thank you for helping me
make a million dollars.
Now I'm not there yet, but I'mthanking you in advance because
I know it's going to happen.
But I do want to thank you forhelping me make a million
dollars.
Now I'm not there yet, but I'mthanking you in advance because
I know it's going to happen.
But I do want to thank you foris the fact that you've made me
a better man.
You have made me.
You know I have taken thethings that I've learned.
I just turned 60 last month, soI just had a birthday.
(01:58):
Happy birthday, thank you, andI am so much better over the
last three years than I ever wasand I kind of identify a lot
with you because we're kind ofin that same era.
You know, like I literallywatched a episode of the Six
(02:20):
Million Dollar.
Man last night, which was hot,so yeah, and I think of the time
when you talked about Mr Ed andall that kind of stuff, and so
what's kind of cool is Journeyto Freedom came out of.
I went to this trust seminarguy named Dave Horsager, dave
Horsager, and he had a seminarwhere he was talking about trust
, leadership and how importanttrust is.
(02:40):
And I look around the room andI've said to myself, being a
black man in America, you knowthat's great, but it's not the
find me, it's not the mostimportant thing, it's not.
I don't count, but I literallycounted, like we do sometimes,
how many folks of color were inthe room.
And there was like 30 of us outof 500.
And I was wondering why, and Iwas.
And I came back and I startedpraying about it and God said I
(03:01):
kind of want to have you workwith you know, you know folks of
color.
He said specifically black men.
I said I don't know if that'swhat I want to be, uh, but I'll
be obedient to it.
And so journey to freedom ispart of a coaching program and
thing that I, that I created.
As a result of, just, you know,interviewing.
I've now done 150, uh, over 150episodes of successful black
(03:25):
men and now I'm starting to doblack women and stuff.
And so part of it came becauseI went to the Make More Offers
Challenge with you and I asked Iasked for a question.
I said, will you be on mypodcast?
And you said, wait a minute,because I think I was about 30
episodes.
And you said, well, when youhit 50 episodes, then we can, we
(03:45):
can talk about it.
So I went back to work.
I said I'm going to go do 50episodes.
So I got to 50 episodes and Isaid he's not going to believe
me.
I'm going to fly out to Floridaand I'm going to go to Bible
study and I'm going to show upand I'm going to let him know
that I did 50 episodes.
So I got there.
You said, hey, meet with Larry,get some things.
But I didn't stop.
So between the time I was inFlorida last year now I've done
over another hundred episodes.
This has just been, you know,such an incredible journey to be
(04:10):
able to do that.
But you've helped me becauseyou said do this.
And I did it.
You know.
You said, hey, you need to havea book.
So I wrote three.
So I just finished my thirdbook this weekend.
And I just keep moving forwardas a result of the things that
you're teaching me, and sousually in this podcast, I start
(04:31):
out and just I want you to tellyour story, you know however
you want, and then I'll add in Iwas, I was just telling Myron
before we started.
I've watched at least a thousandhours of his, so I believe like
he doesn't know me very well,but I know Myron Goldsman
because he.
One of the things you've doneis you've been vulnerable enough
to spend the time onlinesharing who you are with all of
(04:55):
us, and without that I don'tthink I'm the man that I, that I
, that I should be, or withoutthat I don't think I could grow
the way you've helped me be ableto grow, because you are
willing to not just, you know,say all these things that you
can do, like programs and, youknow, be a better business
strategist and coaching, but youalso talk about your life.
You talk about who you, youtalk about bringing growing up,
(05:18):
you talk about you're assessingthe trees right now.
So I understand all of thatright now and I can't wait to
spend more time with you, butI'd love for you to kind of just
start out, tell the part ofyour story that you want to
share.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, so my name is Myron Golden.
I'm the second of sevenbrothers.
My parents were very hardworking people James and Carolyn
Golden and I give them so muchcredit for what my life has
become, because they did anamazing job at a time.
It was very difficult forparents to do an amazing job
with not with seven children andseven black sons as well.
(05:55):
It's just.
It's just.
What they did was remarkable,and so I.
I had polio as an infant becauseI was born in a segregated
hospital and contracted polio asan infant, so that was a major
impact on my life.
Because I walk with a brace onmy leg.
I walk with a limp that I don'tnotice unless I see myself
walking past the mirror or pastthe glass door that has a
(06:16):
reflection, but other peoplenotice, and so when I was a kid
I couldn't run, so other kidsmade fun of me, blah, blah, blah
.
So when I was a kid I couldn'trun, so other kids made fun of
me, blah, blah, blah.
And I just think all of thatstuff made me stronger because I
believe that everything thathappens to you happens for you.
I'm one of those people who didwell in school all the way
through the third grade and itwent downhill from there.
(06:36):
I liked the 10th grade so muchI took it twice and managed to
graduate second in my class fromhigh school it was a class of
two, my little brother was thevaledictorian and now you know
the rest of the story but wentoff to college, met this
beautiful girl, wrote her abunch of poems.
(06:58):
She finally married me afterthree years and we proceeded to
struggle even more than I wasstruggling by myself.
But we had a dream and westarted working towards that
dream.
I got recruited into sellingfinancial services of insurance
and investments through anetwork marketing company and
(07:19):
when I did, I really worked thatbusiness like my life depended
on it.
I was terrible at selling, Iwas terrible at leadership, I
was terrible at business, but Iwas learning some new skills
that would take my life into astratosphere that I didn't know
existed.
And so here we are, some almost40 years later, like 38 years
(07:44):
after that whole thing, andwe've made millions of dollars,
lost millions of dollars, gonethrough incredible ups and just
absolutely heart-wrenching lows,and now we have a business that
is doing quite well and weimpact entrepreneurs all over
the world.
In fact, we're in the middle ofa Make More Offers Challenge
(08:06):
right now, and I don't know, wehave I don't know 350, 370
people.
I didn't look this morning, Ilooked yesterday.
It was like 330 something, soI'm sure it's 350, 370, 380,
might be 400, because we usuallysell the most tickets the last
day.
And so we're here and I teachentrepreneurs how to scale their
(08:26):
businesses.
I teach high-levelentrepreneurs how to create,
convey and convert premium valueoffers faster and better than
any coach in the world.
In fact, while other coachesare helping their, doing their
best to help their clients makesix and seven figures a year,
I'm actually helping my clientsdo six and seven figure days.
So that's what we do.
I've written some books, I dosome coaching.
(08:53):
I'm always in learning mode andI have a YouTube channel that
we create.
I have a YouTube channel forbusiness which is my name, myron
Golden, and I have a YouTubechannel for Bible study, which
is Bible study with Myron Golden.
So that's I mean I've beenmarried, for it'll be 40 years
this year and I have my son, whoworks with me in my business.
My daughter works with me in mybusiness.
We have one.
My wife and I have one son inheaven, and now we're just, you
(09:17):
know.
We're, by the grace of God,doing our best to have an impact
and bless people's lives in asmany ways as we can.
So that's pretty much my story.
I don't know if I didn't tellsomething you wanted me to share
or did.
I don't know.
That's how I think of it.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, no, there's so many like nuances in your story
and that helps you, I guess,explain a story Like you know
you talked about.
You know, one of my favoriteones is when you know your dad
says that the bolt's not goingto beat you guys because of the
you know, you have a brain andyou have a brain, and so that's,
that's a real.
All those lessons, yeah Well,what I found, which is which is
(09:55):
really kind of cool, is thatthere are several things that
you talk about that you don'tmind repeating over and over and
over again, like you've got 10050, like 15 different things,
and I've kind of been writingthem down and I was literally
I'd like to know what they are.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, they are believe me.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I could go through whether it's.
You know, the law of entropy,the law of energy, the.
You know just.
You know, like you said, thegenesis, chapter one, all the
things that happen in Genesis,the law of creation, the four
levels of value, and so this iswhat's amazing because I think
(10:34):
that my brain is like heartmiring golden now and, as a
result, I'm watching, I'm doingmy nightly post and my wife has
a show on and the first thingthat happens in the show is the
richest guy on the show that I'mwatching.
So harrison ford thing.
He is like the worst guy ever.
Right, they paint him to be themost evil character in life and
you talk about that a lot.
Then this is what I really kindof knew.
(10:56):
He starts talking, he gets witha group of people and it's like
in the 1920s and he says, um,okay, now that we have, you know
, indoor plumbing and faucetswork, we have heat that's coming
in.
He says, no, no longer dopeople have to work with their
hands, they have to useimagination.
And I went or four values, youknow, right there, because he
(11:20):
literally jumped from you know,uh, he jumped from using your
hands.
Implementation forgotunification, did talk about
communication, because he metwith a group of men, uh, and
instead of him just telling themwhat he wanted to do, he said
I'm investing this, are youwilling to invest?
So then it talks about when youtalk about you know, know,
(11:42):
people get nonprofits andgetting people.
And then finally, the part thatjust super blew me away is
there's another guy he's workingwith and they said, in order
for you to have something, wehave to take it from somebody.
And the wife says, we'll takeenough of it that they can't
take it back.
And I'm like, oh my gosh, it isjust, it is Hollywood.
(12:06):
Just they mess us up, rightperpetuating the idea of the
zero sum game, which is not real.
So what, what do you think is afavorite?
Is the ball value your favoriteto talk about?
Or what would you have your,your things that you love to
talk about all the time, whichis the one that impact, or your
favorite too.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
My favorite thing to talk about is be, do, have.
It's like the fundamental,foundational principle of
success Be, do have, god said.
The very first thing God saidto a human being this is this
might make it relativelyimportant is be fruitful, do
multiply, do replenish, dosubdue and have dominion.
Be, do, do, do, have.
Be, do have.
There is like people desirehave.
(12:51):
Most frustration that peoplehave in their lives is either in
the tension between be and door the tension between do and
have.
They desire to have somethingthat they haven't done anything
to deserve, or they areattempting to do something that
they've not become the personwho can do it.
That's where most of thetension and stress of people's
lives come from in the disparitybetween being and doing and the
(13:11):
disparity between doing andhaving.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Wow, as I was just thinking about this.
You know where you say can't be, can't do, can't have.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Be a little, do a little, have a little, be a
little, do a little, have alittle, be a lot, do a lot, have
a lot.
It also means don't be, can'tdo, can't do, can't have.
Nobody's going to circumvent be, do have.
It's the first principle ofsuccess Be, do, have.
And what's really interestingabout that is being speaks to
(13:46):
our identity.
I have to become the person.
Being speaks to my identity.
My identity is who I am.
Now, here's the problem.
Most people have a phantomidentity.
What I mean by that is theydon't know who they are, and
they don't know who they arebased on, whose they are,
because they're more in tunewith what I call their
(14:07):
lie-dentity than they are theiridentity.
And what's their lie-dentity?
Their lie-dentity is all thethings all the people in their
lives told them all their lives.
They are not.
You're not smart enough, you'renot tall enough, you're not
educated enough, you're not goodenough, you're not rich enough,
you're not handsome enough,you're not beautiful enough, you
can't dance good enough, youcan't sing good enough, you
can't run fast enough, you can'tfight tough enough.
Who you are is not enough.
That is your identity.
(14:29):
And so many most people are morein tune with their identity
than they are with theiridentity.
So they are more familiar withwho they aren't than they are
familiar with who they are.
So B speaks to your identity,no-transcript, any more than a
(15:08):
baby creates itself.
You get your identity from theone that created you, and so I
have to get my identity from theultimate identity.
And the ultimate identity isthe I am, that I am.
I am only who God says I am.
Now, if there's a disparity orthere's dissidence between who
(15:29):
God says I am and who I think Iam, god is not the problem.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I'm the problem.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
And the phrase I am is a present statement, and as
human beings we really have ahard time dealing with the
present.
We have a hard time.
People say be present, but wedon't even know how to do that,
because being present in thearena of time is very
challenging.
Why?
Because as soon as I say now,it becomes then.
So in our experience of life,we have two periods of time we
(16:01):
have now and we have then.
So we have the past and we havethe future.
But we don't know how toexperience the present.
But God operates in time, buthe exists outside of time.
He exists in eternity, andeternity is the forever now.
So that's why God is the I amthat I am and not the I was,
(16:21):
that I was, or the I will bethat I will be, because eternity
is the forever now.
Well, if you think about that,I am are the two most powerful
words that exist.
So what if thou shalt not takethe name of the Lord, thy God,
in vain?
What if that means?
Because vain means emptiness,nothingness.
(16:42):
What if it means you take God'sname and attach it to something
that perpetuates lack?
For instance, you say I am poor, so now you're taking your
limitation and you're infusingit with the power of eternity.
What if you say I am so stupid?
You're taking your limitationand you're infusing it with the
power of eternity?
(17:02):
What if you say I am such anidiot?
What if that's what it reallymeans to take God's name in vain
?
You take the most powerful namethat exists and you empty it of
all its power.
I'm not saying that's what itmeans, but I'm just saying what
if that is what it means?
Ooh, so, ooh, oh, my gosh.
That's why this is my favoritething to talk about, because
(17:25):
being speaks to my identity, butdoing speaks to my activity.
Well, most people think that ifthey're not succeeding, the
thing to do is to try harder.
Just do more.
I believe Right.
Do more of what's already notproven to not work.
Yeah, that's, that's a good,right for frustration and being
exhausted?
Yeah right, but but what if?
(17:47):
What if the real secret totransformation was if you don't
like the output, change theinput, right?
Yeah well, the input foractivity is identity.
Identity is the input, activitythe output.
So, if you don't like whatyou're doing and you'd like to
(18:08):
do more, then go, change theinput and become more, because
doing speaks.
Being speaks to my identity,but doing speaks to my activity.
Now there's a gap in my identity.
There's a gap in my identity.
There's a gap in everybody'sidentity.
There's a gap in my.
There's a gap in everybody'sidentity.
There's the gap between who Iam right now and who I have the
potential becoming, becausepotential is the difference
(18:30):
between who I am and who I couldbe.
Potential is the differencebetween what I'm doing and what
I could be doing.
Potential is the differencebetween what I have and what I
could have.
Right, and so, as I'm, as I'mgoing through my life and I'm
experiencing life, and I've gotthis gap in my identity, I have
the potential to be this, butI'm only this.
(18:51):
How do I fill the gap in myidentity?
That's the question.
How do I fill the gap?
Huh, how do I fill the gap inmy identity?
That's a great question.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Isn't that a great question.
How do I fill the gap?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
in my identity, like I could say I don't know, could
I fill it with water?
No, that's not it.
No, how can I fill the gap inmy identity, like the difference
between who I am and who Icould be?
The only way to fill the gap inmy identity is with
intentionality.
(19:23):
I have to be hyper-intentionalabout becoming more.
Think about this I have tobecome hyper-intentional about
becoming more.
Have you ever thought about thefact that in order to improve in
(19:46):
life, it requires two thingsenergy and intention.
Yes, you're not going toimprove with, you're not going
to accidentally improve longterm.
That's not going to happen.
No, it doesn't.
You're not going to do nothingand improve.
So it requires energy andintention which creates directed
right.
You're taking your energy andyou're directing it
intentionally at an outcomeRight, okay, cool.
(20:12):
So if that's the case, that Ifeel like progress, improvement,
can only be created throughenergy and intention, do you not
find it fascinating youprobably do.
I find it fascinating that inorder for me to improve, it
(20:33):
requires intention and energy.
But in order for me to getworse, in order for me to dig,
it requires intention and energy.
But in order for me to getworse, in order for me to
digress.
It only requires neglect.
It requires no intention.
I don't have to intend to doworse.
I don't have to try to do worse.
All I have to do is not intendto get better and I will
automatically get worse.
I don't have to.
I don't have to.
(20:53):
I'm going to make myself sick.
I don't have to make myselfsick.
All I have to do is not focuson making myself healthy.
Yeah, I don't have to makemyself poor.
I don't have to make myselfspend money.
I have to do is not focus oncreating wealth.
So progress requires intention.
Digression only requiresneglect.
(21:14):
So I fill the gap in my identitywith intentionality.
I become hyperintentional aboutwhat Always be becoming more,
more than what, more than I'vebeen being.
If I'm always becoming morethan I've been being, then I am
being hyperintentional with mylife.
Okay, so that's the gap in myidentity, but guess what Myal
(21:34):
with my life?
Okay, so that's the gap in myidentity, but guess what?
My identity creates my activity.
I am, therefore I do.
I am who I am, therefore I dowhat I do.
Well, if I'm going to havebetter activity, I have to own a
better identity.
So how do I fill the gap in myactivity, because there's a
(21:58):
difference between what I'mdoing and what I could be doing.
So if I use intentionality tofill the gap in my identity,
what do I use to fill the gap inmy activity?
I use ingenuity.
I keep on coming up with a newapproach until I find one.
That's my eureka moment.
Almost never is our eurekamoment found on the first
(22:22):
attempt.
Almost never.
Why?
Because if I find my eurekamoment on the first attempt,
then seeking that eureka momentdoesn't turn me into a better
person.
So, even though activity is theoutput of identity, which is
the input, my activity, which isthe output, also affects the
(22:43):
input, which is identity.
So my activity can have aneffect on my identity.
Sometimes I will discover who Iam After I've already become
the person.
I will discover that I'vebecome that person because of
something I've done.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Okay, and then?
So identity is the input,activity is the output, but
activity is also an input.
Activity is the output ofidentity, but it's the input for
property.
So B speaks to my identity.
Do speaks to my activity.
Have speaks to my property.
Well, guess what?
(23:19):
My activity produces myproperty.
See, covetousness is not thedesire for more property.
Covetousness is the desire forproperty that I am unwilling to
do the right thing in order forme to deserve to have it.
I desire something that I don'tdeserve.
That's covetousness.
So why do I have less than Icould have?
(23:43):
Well, because my activityhasn't produced more.
Well, why hasn't my activityproduced more?
Because my identity, who Ithink I am won't let it.
Because my identity, who Ithink I am, won't let it.
So, being speaks to my identity.
Doing speaks to my activity,having speaks to my property.
This is my favorite principle ofall principles that I've ever
(24:03):
learned in my life, because,first and foremost, it's the
first one God ever spoke to aman Be, do, have.
Being is the root system of thetree, doing is the shoot system
, okay, the trunk of thebranches.
Having is the fruit system.
Yes, the fruits, wow.
(24:27):
And, by the way, this is apattern that keeps repeating
over and over in different ways.
But when we get it we're likeokay, if I don't like the fruit,
don't paint it, change root.
Yes, paint.
Painting an orange red doesn'tturn it into an apple no, oh my
gosh.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
but and when I wrote, you know, as I think of our
culture and I know you would sayI can speak as a black man
because I is one and you know.
And so I start thinking aboutthe things that we blame, those
contributing factors that weblame on the reason our identity
isn't what our identity shouldbe.
Right, because we think thatall these external factors are
(25:10):
the things that you know who weare like, who our mama told us
we you were, who are the folksthat we hung around, or I didn't
have a dad when I was growingup, or how do we get that
identity to not live in thisworld where we think everything
is against us and that becomesour identity?
So that means it helps stop ouractivity, right?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
We have to have heralds, prophets and when I say
prophets, I'm not talking aboutin the Old Testament, I'm not
talking about in the foresightprophets, I'm talking about
foretelling prophets, people whoare willing to proclaim the
truth.
We need people to tell us, weneed somebody to increase our
(25:52):
awareness, and I'm going to gofrom being a victim of the
circumstances of my life tobeing a victor through the
circumstances of my life.
Someone is going to have totell me the truth that negates
the lie that I believe.
It's going to wake me up out ofmy victimhood slumber because I
(26:14):
can't.
Nobody else can make me avictim.
People can attempt to victimizeme, but no one can make me a
victim but me.
I had polio as an infant.
I walk with a brace on my leg.
It's the direct result ofracism, segregation and
discrimination.
Me walking with a brace on myleg is the direct result of that
(26:35):
.
So nobody's going to tell methat I don't understand.
I do understand.
I just also understand that Iam not a victim of that.
It is just a part of myassignment and it's the law of
polarity says for every actionthere's an equal and opposite
reaction.
Right, for every action there'san equal and opposite reaction.
So it's impossible to havesomething quote bad happen to
(26:57):
you without it bringing alongsomething equally as good.
It's impossible to havesomething negative without it
bringing along something equallyas positive.
It's impossible to havesomething that's damaging in
your life without it bringingalong right with it something
equally dynamic.
And so what I've got to do,I've got to learn to do if I'm
going to be on this journey tofreedom and enter this level of
(27:22):
freedom.
I've got to learn how to say.
I've got to learn how to walkaround to the other side of my
circumstance and look at theother side of that coin.
Because I think of a biblicalexample of this, when Pharaoh
called Jacob and said sir, howold are you, sir?
(27:46):
Now here's what happened toJacob, his sons.
He didn't know this is whathappened, but his sons took
their youngest son and threw himin a pit.
And then some people came andtook him out of the pit and sold
him into slavery.
They went back and told theirdad that his son was dead.
So he was separated from hisson.
When his son was a child, hethought his son was dead.
(28:12):
He ran away from his brotherbecause his brother wanted to
kill him.
He worked hard for seven yearsfor this woman and her father
tricked him and gave him thatgirl's sister.
And then he worked seven moreyears for the girl he actually
wanted.
And so he went through all ofthese different circumstances
and then there's a famine in theland and they go to Egypt to
(28:36):
get some food.
And he's got, he's down, hissons are down there and the
prime minister said we're goingto keep one of y'all and then go
tell your, you bring yourfamily, and then I'll let this
other brother go.
And so Pharaoh asked Jacob howold he was.
And here's what Jacob said.
He said few and evil have beenthe days of the life of my
(28:57):
pilgrimage.
Few and evil, really.
Now guess who else had thosesame exact circumstances?
For the most part His son,joseph, the one they actually
threw in the pit, who actuallygot sold into slavery.
And Joseph went down and was aslave in Potiphar's house.
Potiphar's wife tried to seducehim.
It didn't work, she lied on him.
He went to prison for a slavein Potiphar's house.
(29:17):
Potiphar's wife tried to seducehim.
It didn't work, she lied on him.
He went to prison for a crimehe didn't commit and he stayed
in prison until the perfect time.
Good thing he didn't have agoal to get out.
Anyway, that's anotherconversation for a different day
.
And Joseph named his two sons,ephraim and Manasseh.
(29:39):
What do those names mean?
What Ephraim and Manasseh mean?
One of them means God has causedme not to remember the labor
and the toil in my father'shouse, in other words, the fact
that I had all this traumagrowing up in my family.
God had made me forget my trauma.
(30:00):
His other son, his name meansand I don't remember which one
is which but his name means Godhas made me fruitful in the land
of my affliction.
So one of the people who wentthrough the experiences few and
evil have been the days of thelife of my pilgrimage.
The other person who wentthrough the experiences few and
evil have been the days of thelife of my pilgrimage.
The other person who wentthrough the same thing said God
has made me to forget the toiland the hardship in my father's
(30:22):
house and has made me fruitfulin the land of my affliction.
So what is that?
Neither one of them werevictims, neither one of them
were impacted by thecircumstance as much as they
were impacted by theirperspective and most people who
(30:43):
think they're a prisoner ofcircumstance are actually a
prisoner of their perspective,of what they believe that
circumstance means.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
So all the things that have been happened to them,
the way that they that, all thethings that have been happened
to them, they're the way thatthey looked at it.
The way yeah decided is this iswhat happened to me and it's a
bad thing, and they can look atit.
I think one of the things thatyou talk about a lot is no
matter what is in the future,whatever outcome is in the
future that we're perceiving itto be, we made it up because oh,
(31:12):
yeah, yeah, anything I tellmyself about a future outcome.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I made it up because anything I tell myself about a
future outcome, I made it up.
If I say I'm going home thisafternoon when I leave work, I
don't know that I'm going home.
I know that I'm going to headin the direction of home.
That's my intention.
I could literally trip over thecurb on my way out the door,
fall down and hit my head on thesidewalk and end up in the
hospital for the rest of the day.
God forbid that that shouldhappen, but that possibility
exists.
So when I say I'm going home Iliterally made that up I say I'm
(31:39):
going to drink, I'm going totake a drink of water.
I could.
That water could go down mywindpipe and I could literally
like drown right here in abottle of water.
But we don't.
We don't say I'm going toattempt.
I'm going to try to go home andhope that I don't trip over the
curb and bump my head on thesidewalk and end up in the
hospital and I'm going to hopethat they don't give me the
wrong drugs for the wrong injuryand I'm going to hope that
while I'm driving home that Idon't get hit by a truck.
We don't do that.
(32:00):
We don't throw up all thecontingencies around things that
don't matter.
Well, here's my question whydon't we throw up all these
contingencies around things thatdo?
Well, I'm going to try to builda business.
We don't say I'm going to tryto go eat dinner, when the
reality is we made both of themup.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Why don't we just decide?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
we're going to go do what we're going to go do and so
um, anyway, I've ranted for along time, but now I think you
can see why be, do, have is myfavorite principle and why, like
, I believe it's interesting.
You asked me about, you askedme about um, like how can we
break free of this idea of thefact we're a victim?
(32:40):
It's so fascinating, like.
I'm thinking about the Trumptariffs right now.
Right, so you look at the Trumptariffs, people are all bent
out of shape.
And you have people oh, thetariffs are great because all
we're doing is reciprocaltariffs to the people who've
been giving us tariffs all along.
Other people are like no, youcan't do it that way, because we
have way more people than theyhave and so therefore, it's not
equitable.
Blah, blah, blah.
And then you have the peoplewho are like Donald Trump is
(33:02):
like he's like we want to make.
The reason I'm making thesetariffs is so we can make
America a manufacturing nationagain.
Well, all that sounds, all oftheir arguments sound great.
Here's what I'm going to sayabout the whole argument of
making America a manufacturingnation again, where we're going
to find workers because we can'teven find people who don't want
to do work that's notmanufacturing work.
Like good help is hard to find.
(33:24):
Attempting to turn America.
In my opinion, and regardlessof what you think about
president Trump, whether youthink he's great or whether you
think he's terrible I happen tolike him personally, I happen to
think that he's really, reallythe best thing that's happened
to our country in a while.
As far as the president'sconcerned which a lot of people
disagree with me, but that'sfine too.
I could be wrong I don't thinkI am, but I could be but I think
(33:46):
his idea about tariffs bringingmanufacturing back to America
is like fighting to raiseminimum wage.
What you're doing is you'resaying let's elevate the bottom
to make it easier for people whoare unwilling to develop
themselves.
Why do you want to make Americaa manufacturing nation when
America is advanced to the pointwhere you no longer need to be
(34:08):
a manufacturing nation?
We can manufacture stuffcheaper somewhere else and teach
our people to learn new skillsthat will serve them better than
learning how to drive aforklift Not that there's
anything wrong with driving aforklift.
We're emphasizing the wrongthing.
When you emphasize raisingminimum wage, you're inferring
to the people that you'reraising a minimum wage.
For that you need to stay herefor the rest of your life.
So I'm going to make youcomfortable.
(34:29):
Don't be a victim of therhetoric, anyway.
Don't be a victim of therhetoric, anyway.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Those are some of my yeah, no, I so appreciate that.
One of the things that I know,that you know, at least when I
think of you know I grew up andthey told me I was a special ed
kid and that I had to attendspecial ed classes.
And you know, I went to a whitehigh school, predominantly
white, 10 special ed classes.
And you know I went to a whitehigh school, predominantly white
.
There's 3,000 students and 30of us were folks of color and 20
(34:59):
of the 30 of us were all inspecial ed class.
So you know that could havebeen the circumstances.
That's called a clue.
That was a pretty good clue.
I didn't realize it until laterin life, but I think, like the
things that you were able to doas a result of polio and having
this incredible memory and youknow, despite those
circumstances that werehappening and and I don't even
(35:19):
know if it's more of a memory ora recall, but one of the things
that that I say to myself, well, I don't have this tremendous
recall, but I have technologyand other things that can help
me be able to do.
What would you say?
You know just your ability todo a poem or your ability to be
able to speak or communicatebetter.
I believe you've worked on that, and some of us don't even work
(35:40):
on any of those things.
What do you attribute to youknow, to be able to have that
kind of reach?
I?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
believe I'm going to agree with Jim quick with regard
to this.
So I believe that memory andrecall are muscles.
Okay, like muscles, the moreyou work on them, the stronger
they get.
People say I don't have a goodmemory.
Everybody has a good memory.
Everybody remembers everythingthey've ever heard, everything
they've ever seen, everythingthey've ever done.
(36:06):
They just don't have a goodsystem for recall.
Okay, so, if you do, and sofirst, like if somebody's going
to have better recall, the firstthing I have to do is stop
telling themselves they don'thave a good memory, like because
we're.
If, if, like I say to peopleevery now and then
congratulations, if you fightfor your limitations, you get to
keep them.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
So why would?
Speaker 1 (36:26):
I say I have a bad memory.
I don't have a bad memory, Ihave a great memory.
I have an ironclad memory.
My memory is like rock solidand I have a great recall system
.
Like people say, I'm terribleat remembering names, no, you're
terrible at paying attentionwhen people are telling you
their name, because you'rethinking about the thing you
want to say next.
Like, I have a system forremembering people's names.
You know what it's called.
When they're telling me theirname, I'm actually listening.
(36:49):
Oh, but I'm right that thatthat'll change the game.
Number two, I will repeat theirname to them and I'll usually
ask one or two questions.
Somebody tells me their name.
I'll say, wow, nice to meet you.
Let's say nice to meet you, bob.
How do you spell that?
Nice to meet you?
(37:09):
Right, b O B?
Now, one of the things I learnedin signing books regardless of
what the person's name is,always ask them how to spell it,
because you are going to getsome people with some names we
would call normal names thathave some very unusual spellings
, okay, so so the first thingI'm going to do like I mean, I
(37:30):
know somebody named Karen C A RY N.
I mean I know somebody namedKaren C-A-R-Y-N.
Right, wow, exactly, exactly.
So when somebody tells me theirname, don't in communication.
I love what my daughter says.
She says the biggest mistake incommunication is thinking that
it happened.
One of the reasons we make themistake of thinking that
communication happened isbecause we assume that we know
(37:51):
what people mean.
We don't ask them what theymean, and we assume people know
what we mean and we don't say itclearly.
So when somebody's introducingthemselves, I say, well, that's
an interesting name, how do youspell that?
And then they'll tell me, andI'll say so, are you named after
someone?
Well, I'm actually named aftermy grandfather on my mother's
(38:11):
side, and they called him Robert, and then they called him Bob,
my dad's Robert Jr.
I'm Bob III, and so they justcall me B3, right.
So now their name is no longerjust a word, it's actually a
story, and our minds aredesigned to remember stories,
like if I say David and GoliathSee, I didn't.
(38:34):
Now, how do you rememberGoliath's name?
You've never met Goliath, nope,you've never even met David.
But when I say David and yousay, the first thing that comes
to your mind is Goliath.
You didn't say David andBathsheba.
You didn't say David andSolomon, you didn't say David
and Joab, you said David.
You didn't even say David andJesse, or David and Eliab, his
brothers or his father, you saidDavid and Goliath.
(38:54):
Why?
Because our minds are.
God made our minds to rememberstories, right?
So if you can get somebody toengage in a story about their
name I mean I can think of awhole bunch of other questions I
can just ask somebody abouttheir name so I never forget it.
So did you ever hate your nameor have you always loved your
name?
And then they'll tell me.
(39:15):
I'll say, have people evermispronounced your name?
And if they have mispronouncedyour name, what other things
have they called you?
I know for me they've called meMarion, malcolm, miriam, melvin
, marvin, milton.
I've been called everything butMyron.
I mean, bro, you add in allkinds of letters that don't even
exist.
So has anybody evermispronounced your name?
(39:36):
What are some of themispronunciations of your name
that you've heard, right?
So have you ever met anybodyelse with your name?
Or, if they have a popular name, do you regret having a popular
name that so many people have?
Are you glad you have a popularname that's easy to remember
and easy to spell, like you canliterally sit there and ask
people a whole bunch ofquestions about their name, and
so now you spend a bunch of timewith them on their name.
How are you going to forgettheir name?
Now it's a story, you know howto spell it, you have all this
(40:00):
information, so now thatperson's story becomes a part of
your story.
It's not just a word that'sdisconnected from context.
So does that make that helpful?
Speaker 2 (40:18):
context.
So does that make that helpful?
Oh yeah, so super, superhelpful.
You brought up intention beforeand I know that my other
favorite subject.
So you brought up attentionbecause you know, I think of you
, know just the fact that younow somebody wants to do it your
business strategist, you helppeople acquire money and a lot
of people are afraid of yourmoney anyways.
They got this bad relationshipwith money.
But as an intention, I knowthat.
(40:40):
Okay, now I'm ready to start.
There's probably going to besome kind of disruption that's
going to hit me and I don't knowwhat that is.
But what are some things that Ihave to do with me to become
the person that can be withintention and now, hey, I want
to do it, I'm going to do it, Itold you I'm going to do it, and
then they don't do it.
What are some things that wecan do now that we in our minds,
(41:02):
we have intention, but toreally make it happen?
Speaker 1 (41:06):
So all transformation begins with awareness.
So, if you think abouttransformation, transformation
means there's something I'd liketo become, there's someone I'd
like to become, but I'm notalready.
There's something I'd like todo that I can't do already.
There's something I like tohave that I can't have already,
okay, great.
So if I'm going to transformfrom who I am to who I'd like to
become, from what I can do,what I can't do to what I'd like
(41:28):
to be able to do, from what Idon't have to what I'd like to
have, then I've got to transform.
And the first thing that has totransform is my identity.
So how does transformationhappen?
All transformation begins withawareness, okay.
So it begins.
So I become aware that there issomething that's more desirable
(41:49):
.
Whatever that is, it doesn'tmatter, and I'll give you a
perfect example of this in aminute after I'm done saying so.
So oh, there's something that'smore desirable, okay.
So after awareness, the nextstep is intention.
I have to intend to step intomy new awareness, okay, but if
(42:13):
I'm going to intend to, I've gotto go further than just
intending to.
So where do I have to go fromthere?
I have to say, okay, I'mintending to step into that new
awareness.
But now I've got to make adecision.
I have to decide.
Decide is not the same aschoose.
Choose means pick one Decideday of or from side to cut.
(42:35):
So when I decide something, Icut myself off from or cut
myself off of any otherpossibility.
This is what I'm going to do.
This is what my life is goingto be about.
Nothing's going to stand in myway.
This is what I will accomplish.
I decide.
So I've got awareness, I've gotintention, I've got decision,
(43:03):
and then I've got intention.
I've got decision and then I'vegot discipline.
So discipline is what keeps mefrom breaking the covenant to
myself of my intention, of mydecision.
So discipline is what keeps mefrom breaking the covenant I
made with myself when I made adecision, because the word
covenant and the word decideboth mean to cut.
So when I decide something, I'mmaking a covenant with me,
(43:24):
right, which means I wouldrather die and keep my word to
myself than live and break it.
That's a decision, okay.
So now I've got my awareness, Ibecame aware of something I was
unaware of.
I set an intention on this newthing.
I've decided to do it, and nowI've got discipline, which means
(43:47):
I'm not going to let myself offthis hook.
Like I decided, I am going tostart my day with exercise
instead of hot bath, cold plunge, hot bath and then shower.
So it's going to be workout,shower, get dressed, go to work,
cold plunge all that otherstuff is going to have to wait
until sometime later in the day.
(44:10):
Why I had to make getting in theshape I desire to be in and
having the health I desire tohave my number one priority,
even though exercise hasn't beenmy number one priority since I
was in high school.
Okay, but it was my number onepriority in high school.
Other kids were eating lunch.
I would go to the weight roomand lift weights, so okay.
So now I've got attention Imean not attention Awareness,
(44:36):
intention, decision, discipline,recognition.
I take time to acknowledge whatmy new awareness, my new
intention, my decision and mydiscipline have gotten me.
That's why, even though I don'tlose weight every day, I weigh
(44:56):
myself every single morning.
Why?
Because that way I can stay ontop of it.
I weigh myself every day, but Idon't care about that.
I weigh myself every day.
Why?
That's part of my discipline.
Does that make sense?
So this morning, now yesterday,I rode my assault bike for 30
(45:17):
minutes.
The day before that, I rode myassault bike for 25 minutes.
This morning, the first thing Idid was rode my assault bike
for 30 minutes.
Tomorrow morning, the firstthing I'm going to do?
I'm going to wake up at 5o'clock in the morning, I'm
going to get dressed, I'm goingto go downstairs, I'm going to
go out on my patio and I'm goingto ride my assault bike for 30
minutes, listening to music,making my heart rate, getting my
heart rate up above 150 beats aminute, sweating like a crazy
(45:38):
person.
Tomorrow morning, though, I'mgoing to have a towel around my
neck, even though it's not hotout there, because I'm going to
wipe all the sweat off my face.
I am going to do that before Ido anything Right.
So that's my discipline, butI'm going to recognize that I
did that, and guess what?
Guess what?
I'm going to recognize it next,tomorrow morning, when I step
on the scale, because I alsohave my workout, my tonal
workout, and my weighted vestworkout.
(46:00):
That I'm going to do when I gethome.
So I know that tomorrow, like,yes, two days ago two days ago I
weighed 187 pounds.
This morning, I weighed 183.7.
Tomorrow it'll be less.
So I recognize.
Why am I recognizing?
(46:20):
So that I can acknowledge thatmy awareness and my intention
and my decision and mydiscipline are not a waste of my
time.
It's very hard for us to workon something that we don't
acknowledge is working.
And then, lastly so afterawareness, intention, decision,
discipline and recognition, thelast one is celebration,
(46:41):
Celebration.
Okay, so when I get to 170pounds and my blood pressure is
like 116 over 65, I'll celebrate.
How am I going to celebrate?
I don't know, but I'm going tofind something fun to do and
I'll figure out what that islong before I get there, before
you get there.
You see what I'm saying.
I do, I do.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
Where I see the, where I guess the difficult part
of it is.
We assume that we have enough,or we built this muscle that you
talked about before, ofself-discipline, to be able to
do all these things.
So I have my awareness, I havemy attention, I've made my
decision.
Now I get to the disciplinething.
Do I need help?
Do I need to solicit people ifI haven't?
Speaker 1 (47:25):
developed.
Maybe it depends on yourpersonality and who you are, but
really, discipline means I dowhat I'm supposed to do, when
I'm supposed to do it, the wayI'm supposed to do it, and I do
it that way every time I do it.
That's discipline, like, for me.
I'm a very autonomous person.
I don't like asking forpermission.
(47:45):
I don't like people pretendingthat they have the right to give
me permission.
So for me, like, I don't need aworkout partner, I don't need
an accountability buddy.
When I make a decision and I'mdisciplined, it's a wrap, it's
as good as done, like.
So it depends on who you are,but I, but I think.
I think the answer to thequestion you're asking me,
(48:06):
though, is a different, is adifferent answer, because
there's a, there's a.
I think there's a betterquestion you can ask than do I
need, do I need, like, somebodyto hold myself accountable to?
Here's what you need.
Here's the thing that's goingto create the.
You have to become aware of thehigh cost of not making that
decision and setting thatintention.
Okay, right, um, so recently, avery, very dear friend of mine,
(48:31):
um, last thursday in fact, um,he had a brain aneurysm and I
went to see him in the hospitaland he's unconscious and his
family's there and they're intears and basically the doctors
have already told them there'snothing they can do.
And his wife told me that hesuffered from high blood
pressure since he was a kid.
Basically, right, and I'm like,okay, maybe like like my blood
(48:59):
pressure's high, that could beme.
And so I got a clear vision ofwhat not having this intention,
I got a very clear awareness ofwhat not having this intention
and not making this decision andnot having this discipline is
going to look like for me and myfamily if I don't make these
(49:24):
hard choices right now.
See, the problem is people havethis Pollyanna picture of how
good life's going to be whenthey achieve the thing.
They don't.
Have a crucify my flesh pictureof how terrible life is going
(49:46):
to be if they don't.
Yeah, they don't.
Have right.
So for me, not eating pork easy.
Have right.
So like for me, not eating porkeasy.
Because when I think of eatingthe flesh of a scavenger animal,
whether it's pork, shrimp,lobster, it's like eating flies
and roaches to me.
Like, because they're the samething in the animal kingdom that
(50:07):
flies and roaches are in theinsect kingdom.
Like why would I put that in mymouth.
Why would I eat something thateats its own feces?
I'm not going to do that, right?
So that's not hard.
Not eating pork is not hard forme, that's easy.
No, it's hard for me.
I'm not going to restaurants oh, that's hard.
I like restaurant food.
(50:28):
I like and it's not that I likerestaurant food as much as I
like the idea of somebodyserving me.
I like the idea of somebodybringing me food and sitting on
the table before me and thencleaning up my mess when I'm
done.
I know it sounds allbougie-fied, I get it, but I
(50:49):
like it.
Preparing food, cooking food,setting a table, cleaning a
table, running a dishwasher.
None of that Just go, sit down,pay them, they feed you, you go
home and then you hang out withthe person you love the most.
Like, sign me up for thatprogram.
Does that make sense?
(51:10):
It makes sense.
Most people are not reallyreally good at painting in vivid
colors the really ugly pictureof how terrible life is going to
be if they don't get this thingdone.
I don't want to be laying inthe hospital with my chest
cracked open because I couldn'tsay no to restaurant food.
(51:32):
So guess what I've decided todo for the next 10 days?
Just eat raw fruits andvegetables and my protein shake
and no other other than myprotein shake.
No processed food for the next10 days at least maybe longer
and drink water Like no sugarybeverages.
No insulin spiking foods otherthan fruit.
Some fruit I'll eat threepieces of fruit per day and my
(51:54):
protein shake.
Other than that, it's all raw.
Some fruit I'll eat threepieces of fruit per day and my
protein shake.
Other than that, it's all rawfruits and vegetables.
I'm good with that.
I'll make my own salad dressingfrom scratch and I'll make it
from vegetables, spices andfruit juice.
I'm just done.
Why?
Because I love my family.
I just don't want to put myfamily like.
I want to live my life like alight bulb.
(52:15):
I want to shine as brightly asI can for as long as I possibly
can, and one day I burn out andit's a wrap, it's gone.
This whole idea that you haveto get sicker as you get older
is a myth, but it's a myth thattoo many people bought into.
I am stronger now than I waswhen I was 30.
I'm in better shape now than Iwas when I was 30.
Speaker 2 (52:34):
when I was 30.
I'm in better shape now than Iwas when I was 30.
That is so cool.
And how will you celebrate that?
Like cause?
I know you know part of yourprogression here.
You made the decision, you'redoing, you're doing the thing,
and then have you alreadythought about how you celebrate
the?
Or is just life, because youget to be that.
Speaker 1 (52:49):
No, I haven't.
I haven't thought about it yet,but I'm going to.
I'll figure that out before Iget there.
I may, I may fly myself to someamazing location and play three
rounds of golf at Punta Espadaand La Cana and and Caracas in
the DR, or something like it'llbe.
It'll be a major celebration,oh sweet.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
I really want, before we end, is to talk about your
faith and what's your beliefsystem that has now been able to
help you, or everything that'sbeen able to allow you to
accomplish the things thatyou've accomplished, and why
that's so important.
I know you do biblicalprinciples with what we're doing
and so with what you do,biblical prudence and business
(53:31):
at the same time, and youcombine what other people don't
do.
Speaker 1 (53:36):
Well, I don't.
Well, I do combine them, butGod combined them originally.
I'm just, all I'm doing is Godhas the best content.
I just repeat his content.
People think I'm smart, eventhough I tell them, hey, I
didn't make this up, I got itfrom God.
Like who, let you use it too?
It's like I don't have a corneron the market on that stuff.
So business is a good ideabecause business is a God idea.
(53:58):
I received Christ when I was 16years old.
That's not religion, that'slike I received and trusted in
the death, burial andresurrection of Jesus Christ for
my eternal life as my fullpayment for eternal life.
Not some good deed.
I did not some church attended,not some baptism, not something
that I do.
Literally.
(54:19):
I am not trusting in MyronGolden's good deeds for my
relationship with God.
I'm trusting in God's gooddeeds for my relationship with
God.
I'm trusting in what Jesus didwas enough and then, because he
did that for me, I have a desireto live my life for him and I
do not desire to misrepresenthim, because he is my king and
because he is my king, he hasalready told me in his word that
(54:40):
he desires to make me the kingof my thing, and so I serve a
king who wants to make me a king.
There's another king.
He's a fake king.
He's called Satan, the devil,the enemy, the adversary.
He's a king that wants to makepeople a slave, and then he
wants to use the people who he'smade slaves to build his
(55:01):
kingdom, and he works them likea three-legged mule until they
die.
I'm glad I served the real king, and so I don't want to
misrepresent my king by notruling well over my kingdom
assignment, which he assigned meto, and so that's where my
faith comes into play.
I don't do this biblical Biblestuff as a ploy because I think
(55:24):
it's going to make me some money.
If I throw the word kingdom inwhat I do, I do it because I
discovered that this is God'splan.
The kingdom of God is a familybusiness.
How do I know that?
Because Jesus said know ye notthat I must be about my father's
business.
I must work the work of himthat sent me, while it is day,
(55:46):
for the night cometh when no mancan work.
So I do what I do the way I doit because I believe that's the
way God intended for it to bedone.
Speaker 2 (55:58):
Oh man, thank you.
Thank you so much for that.
What didn't I in the next twominutes before we finished?
What did I not talk about?
That you wanted to make surethat-.
Speaker 1 (56:12):
I don't know, man.
I mean you opened the box, bro,and a whole bunch of stuff
jumped out.
Yeah, I don't know that.
We didn't talk about anything.
If people want to know more,they can find me on YouTube
under my name, myron Golden, orInstagram, my name, myron Golden
.
I think this is one thing thatwe didn't talk about.
If somebody, pretending to be me, attempts to sell you some
crypto investment thing, it'snot me.
(56:33):
Attempts to sell you somecrypto investment thing, it's
not me.
If somebody on social mediamessages you and tries to get
you to buy something, it's neverme.
Now, I do sell stuff.
I've got my books my Boss Movesbook on bossmovesbookcom.
I've got my other book, trashman to Cash man, at
trashmandocashmancom.
I've got my Make More OffersChallenge at
makemoreofferschallengecom.
But I won't message you onInstagram or Tik TOK or YouTube
(56:58):
to attempt to get you to buy it.
Like it's out there for peopleto find and when they find it
and they want it, more power tothem.
But I don't inbox people andmake them offers.
So if somebody does that,they're scamming.
They're scamming you.
Don't let somebody use my nameto scam you out of your hard
earned money.
So, oh my, don't let somebodyuse my name to scam you out of
your hard-earned money.
Speaker 2 (57:16):
Oh my gosh, Thank you .
This has been so incredible.
Thank you for being on.
I have my first challenge nextweek, so I'm excited.
Let's go my first offers I'mteaching people how to do
podcasting.
Let's go and how to make ithappen and so I can't wait for
that to happen, and so I can'twait for that to happen.
(57:48):
This is, you know, when I thinkabout folks that are in my
world and have had, I was ableto take the information, absorb
the information and then make itmy own, and so just the fact
that you're here with me today,we will spend more time together
.
I know that, no matter what,but I can't wait to emulate some
(58:12):
of the things that you've beenable to help me do.
So I wanted to just say thankyou for doing that.
For those of you guys who arejust watching this for the first
time and this is the one thereis so many of these really good
episodes where I'm justinterviewing folks that have
been successful, folks that areworking on their own lives,
whether it's somebody who is,you know, like a black
(58:32):
helicopter pilot, first one inthe army, or somebody who's been
to prison, who's become apastor for the last 34 years and
made a difference as aprominent attorney there's so
many ways that we can besuccessful in life.
I think Myron just stepped usthrough oh man, some just
incredible things intention, be,do, have, and all those
wonderful things that I hope youtake advantage of watching
(58:53):
these Hit whatever the YouTubethings that you do subscribe,
and I can't wait for it to talkto you on the next one.
So don't forget that you areGod's greatest gift.
He loves you, if you allow himto, and we'll look forward to
talking to you on the next one.
You guys have an amazing justincredible day today.
The first principle of success Be, do have.
And what's really interestingabout that is I have to become
the person.
Being speaks.
My identity, my identity is whoI am.
Now here's the problem.
Most people have a phantomidentity.
What I mean by that is theydon't know who they are based on
, whose they are, becausethey're more in tune with what I
call their lie-dentity thanthey are their identity.
What's their lie-dentity?
(00:26):
Is all the things all thepeople in their lives told them,
all their lives.
They are not.
You're not smart enough, you'renot tall enough, you're not
educated enough, you're not goodenough, you're not rich enough,
you're not handsome enough,you're not beautiful enough, you
can't dance good enough, youcan't sing good enough, you
can't run fast enough, you can'tfight tough enough.
Who you are is not enough.
That is your lie-dentity.
Most, they are more familiarwith who they are than they are
familiar with who they are.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
All right, welcome to another edition to the Journey
to Freedom podcast.
I am Dr B, I'm your host today,and today is an exciting,
special episode.
It's my first episode everworking with somebody who has
over 1 million subscribers, andso Mayan hit that just in the
(01:18):
last few months and it has justbeen just so fun watching the
progress over the last threeyears.
I think it was a couple hundredthousand, maybe 300,000 when I
started watching him and just towatch it progress over time, I
don't know.
First, I just watched a videowith you and Omar and at the
(01:38):
beginning of Omar, omar said Iwant to thank you for helping me
make a million dollars.
Now I'm not there yet, but I'mthanking you in advance because
I know it's going to happen.
But I do want to thank you forhelping me make a million
dollars.
Now I'm not there yet, but I'mthanking you in advance because
I know it's going to happen.
But I do want to thank you foris the fact that you've made me
a better man.
You have made me.
You know I have taken thethings that I've learned.
I just turned 60 last month, soI just had a birthday.
(01:58):
Happy birthday, thank you, andI am so much better over the
last three years than I ever wasand I kind of identify a lot
with you because we're kind ofin that same era.
You know, like I literallywatched a episode of the Six
(02:20):
Million Dollar.
Man last night, which was hot,so yeah, and I think of the time
when you talked about Mr Ed andall that kind of stuff, and so
what's kind of cool is Journeyto Freedom came out of.
I went to this trust seminarguy named Dave Horsager, dave
Horsager, and he had a seminarwhere he was talking about trust
, leadership and how importanttrust is.
(02:40):
And I look around the room andI've said to myself, being a
black man in America, you knowthat's great, but it's not the
find me, it's not the mostimportant thing, it's not.
I don't count, but I literallycounted, like we do sometimes,
how many folks of color were inthe room.
And there was like 30 of us outof 500.
And I was wondering why, and Iwas.
And I came back and I startedpraying about it and God said I
(03:01):
kind of want to have you workwith you know, you know folks of
color.
He said specifically black men.
I said I don't know if that'swhat I want to be, uh, but I'll
be obedient to it.
And so journey to freedom ispart of a coaching program and
thing that I, that I created.
As a result of, just, you know,interviewing.
I've now done 150, uh, over 150episodes of successful black
(03:25):
men and now I'm starting to doblack women and stuff.
And so part of it came becauseI went to the Make More Offers
Challenge with you and I asked Iasked for a question.
I said, will you be on mypodcast?
And you said, wait a minute,because I think I was about 30
episodes.
And you said, well, when youhit 50 episodes, then we can, we
(03:45):
can talk about it.
So I went back to work.
I said I'm going to go do 50episodes.
So I got to 50 episodes and Isaid he's not going to believe
me.
I'm going to fly out to Floridaand I'm going to go to Bible
study and I'm going to show upand I'm going to let him know
that I did 50 episodes.
So I got there.
You said, hey, meet with Larry,get some things.
But I didn't stop.
So between the time I was inFlorida last year now I've done
over another hundred episodes.
This has just been, you know,such an incredible journey to be
(04:10):
able to do that.
But you've helped me becauseyou said do this.
And I did it.
You know.
You said, hey, you need to havea book.
So I wrote three.
So I just finished my thirdbook this weekend.
And I just keep moving forwardas a result of the things that
you're teaching me, and sousually in this podcast, I start
(04:31):
out and just I want you to tellyour story, you know however
you want, and then I'll add in Iwas, I was just telling Myron
before we started.
I've watched at least a thousandhours of his, so I believe like
he doesn't know me very well,but I know Myron Goldsman
because he.
One of the things you've doneis you've been vulnerable enough
to spend the time onlinesharing who you are with all of
(04:55):
us, and without that I don'tthink I'm the man that I, that I
, that I should be, or withoutthat I don't think I could grow
the way you've helped me be ableto grow, because you are
willing to not just, you know,say all these things that you
can do, like programs and, youknow, be a better business
strategist and coaching, but youalso talk about your life.
You talk about who you, youtalk about bringing growing up,
(05:18):
you talk about you're assessingthe trees right now.
So I understand all of thatright now and I can't wait to
spend more time with you, butI'd love for you to kind of just
start out, tell the part ofyour story that you want to
share.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, so my name is Myron Golden.
I'm the second of sevenbrothers.
My parents were very hardworking people James and Carolyn
Golden and I give them so muchcredit for what my life has
become, because they did anamazing job at a time.
It was very difficult forparents to do an amazing job
with not with seven children andseven black sons as well.
(05:55):
It's just.
It's just.
What they did was remarkable,and so I.
I had polio as an infant becauseI was born in a segregated
hospital and contracted polio asan infant, so that was a major
impact on my life.
Because I walk with a brace onmy leg.
I walk with a limp that I don'tnotice unless I see myself
walking past the mirror or pastthe glass door that has a
(06:16):
reflection, but other peoplenotice, and so when I was a kid
I couldn't run, so other kidsmade fun of me, blah, blah, blah
.
So when I was a kid I couldn'trun, so other kids made fun of
me, blah, blah, blah.
And I just think all of thatstuff made me stronger because I
believe that everything thathappens to you happens for you.
I'm one of those people who didwell in school all the way
through the third grade and itwent downhill from there.
(06:36):
I liked the 10th grade so muchI took it twice and managed to
graduate second in my class fromhigh school it was a class of
two, my little brother was thevaledictorian and now you know
the rest of the story but wentoff to college, met this
beautiful girl, wrote her abunch of poems.
(06:58):
She finally married me afterthree years and we proceeded to
struggle even more than I wasstruggling by myself.
But we had a dream and westarted working towards that
dream.
I got recruited into sellingfinancial services of insurance
and investments through anetwork marketing company and
(07:19):
when I did, I really worked thatbusiness like my life depended
on it.
I was terrible at selling, Iwas terrible at leadership, I
was terrible at business, but Iwas learning some new skills
that would take my life into astratosphere that I didn't know
existed.
And so here we are, some almost40 years later, like 38 years
(07:44):
after that whole thing, andwe've made millions of dollars,
lost millions of dollars, gonethrough incredible ups and just
absolutely heart-wrenching lows,and now we have a business that
is doing quite well and weimpact entrepreneurs all over
the world.
In fact, we're in the middle ofa Make More Offers Challenge
(08:06):
right now, and I don't know, wehave I don't know 350, 370
people.
I didn't look this morning, Ilooked yesterday.
It was like 330 something, soI'm sure it's 350, 370, 380,
might be 400, because we usuallysell the most tickets the last
day.
And so we're here and I teachentrepreneurs how to scale their
(08:26):
businesses.
I teach high-levelentrepreneurs how to create,
convey and convert premium valueoffers faster and better than
any coach in the world.
In fact, while other coachesare helping their, doing their
best to help their clients makesix and seven figures a year,
I'm actually helping my clientsdo six and seven figure days.
So that's what we do.
I've written some books, I dosome coaching.
(08:53):
I'm always in learning mode andI have a YouTube channel that
we create.
I have a YouTube channel forbusiness which is my name, myron
Golden, and I have a YouTubechannel for Bible study, which
is Bible study with Myron Golden.
So that's I mean I've beenmarried, for it'll be 40 years
this year and I have my son, whoworks with me in my business.
My daughter works with me in mybusiness.
We have one.
My wife and I have one son inheaven, and now we're just, you
(09:17):
know.
We're, by the grace of God,doing our best to have an impact
and bless people's lives in asmany ways as we can.
So that's pretty much my story.
I don't know if I didn't tellsomething you wanted me to share
or did.
I don't know.
That's how I think of it.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, no, there's so many like nuances in your story
and that helps you, I guess,explain a story Like you know
you talked about.
You know, one of my favoriteones is when you know your dad
says that the bolt's not goingto beat you guys because of the
you know, you have a brain andyou have a brain, and so that's,
that's a real.
All those lessons, yeah Well,what I found, which is which is
(09:55):
really kind of cool, is thatthere are several things that
you talk about that you don'tmind repeating over and over and
over again, like you've got 10050, like 15 different things,
and I've kind of been writingthem down and I was literally
I'd like to know what they are.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, they are believe me.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I could go through whether it's.
You know, the law of entropy,the law of energy, the.
You know just.
You know, like you said, thegenesis, chapter one, all the
things that happen in Genesis,the law of creation, the four
levels of value, and so this iswhat's amazing because I think
(10:34):
that my brain is like heartmiring golden now and, as a
result, I'm watching, I'm doingmy nightly post and my wife has
a show on and the first thingthat happens in the show is the
richest guy on the show that I'mwatching.
So harrison ford thing.
He is like the worst guy ever.
Right, they paint him to be themost evil character in life and
you talk about that a lot.
Then this is what I really kindof knew.
(10:56):
He starts talking, he gets witha group of people and it's like
in the 1920s and he says, um,okay, now that we have, you know
, indoor plumbing and faucetswork, we have heat that's coming
in.
He says, no, no longer dopeople have to work with their
hands, they have to useimagination.
And I went or four values, youknow, right there, because he
(11:20):
literally jumped from you know,uh, he jumped from using your
hands.
Implementation forgotunification, did talk about
communication, because he metwith a group of men, uh, and
instead of him just telling themwhat he wanted to do, he said
I'm investing this, are youwilling to invest?
So then it talks about when youtalk about you know, know,
(11:42):
people get nonprofits andgetting people.
And then finally, the part thatjust super blew me away is
there's another guy he's workingwith and they said, in order
for you to have something, wehave to take it from somebody.
And the wife says, we'll takeenough of it that they can't
take it back.
And I'm like, oh my gosh, it isjust, it is Hollywood.
(12:06):
Just they mess us up, rightperpetuating the idea of the
zero sum game, which is not real.
So what, what do you think is afavorite?
Is the ball value your favoriteto talk about?
Or what would you have your,your things that you love to
talk about all the time, whichis the one that impact, or your
favorite too.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
My favorite thing to talk about is be, do, have.
It's like the fundamental,foundational principle of
success Be, do have, god said.
The very first thing God saidto a human being this is this
might make it relativelyimportant is be fruitful, do
multiply, do replenish, dosubdue and have dominion.
Be, do, do, do, have.
Be, do have.
There is like people desirehave.
(12:51):
Most frustration that peoplehave in their lives is either in
the tension between be and door the tension between do and
have.
They desire to have somethingthat they haven't done anything
to deserve, or they areattempting to do something that
they've not become the personwho can do it.
That's where most of thetension and stress of people's
lives come from in the disparitybetween being and doing and the
(13:11):
disparity between doing andhaving.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Wow, as I was just thinking about this.
You know where you say can't be, can't do, can't have.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Be a little, do a little, have a little, be a
little, do a little, have alittle, be a lot, do a lot, have
a lot.
It also means don't be, can'tdo, can't do, can't have.
Nobody's going to circumvent be, do have.
It's the first principle ofsuccess Be, do, have.
And what's really interestingabout that is being speaks to
(13:46):
our identity.
I have to become the person.
Being speaks to my identity.
My identity is who I am.
Now, here's the problem.
Most people have a phantomidentity.
What I mean by that is theydon't know who they are, and
they don't know who they arebased on, whose they are,
because they're more in tunewith what I call their
(14:07):
lie-dentity than they are theiridentity.
And what's their lie-dentity?
Their lie-dentity is all thethings all the people in their
lives told them all their lives.
They are not.
You're not smart enough, you'renot tall enough, you're not
educated enough, you're not goodenough, you're not rich enough,
you're not handsome enough,you're not beautiful enough, you
can't dance good enough, youcan't sing good enough, you
can't run fast enough, you can'tfight tough enough.
Who you are is not enough.
That is your identity.
(14:29):
And so many most people are morein tune with their identity
than they are with theiridentity.
So they are more familiar withwho they aren't than they are
familiar with who they are.
So B speaks to your identity,no-transcript, any more than a
(15:08):
baby creates itself.
You get your identity from theone that created you, and so I
have to get my identity from theultimate identity.
And the ultimate identity isthe I am, that I am.
I am only who God says I am.
Now, if there's a disparity orthere's dissidence between who
(15:29):
God says I am and who I think Iam, god is not the problem.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I'm the problem.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
And the phrase I am is a present statement, and as
human beings we really have ahard time dealing with the
present.
We have a hard time.
People say be present, but wedon't even know how to do that,
because being present in thearena of time is very
challenging.
Why?
Because as soon as I say now,it becomes then.
So in our experience of life,we have two periods of time we
(16:01):
have now and we have then.
So we have the past and we havethe future.
But we don't know how toexperience the present.
But God operates in time, buthe exists outside of time.
He exists in eternity, andeternity is the forever now.
So that's why God is the I amthat I am and not the I was,
(16:21):
that I was, or the I will bethat I will be, because eternity
is the forever now.
Well, if you think about that,I am are the two most powerful
words that exist.
So what if thou shalt not takethe name of the Lord, thy God,
in vain?
What if that means?
Because vain means emptiness,nothingness.
(16:42):
What if it means you take God'sname and attach it to something
that perpetuates lack?
For instance, you say I am poor, so now you're taking your
limitation and you're infusingit with the power of eternity.
What if you say I am so stupid?
You're taking your limitationand you're infusing it with the
power of eternity?
(17:02):
What if you say I am such anidiot?
What if that's what it reallymeans to take God's name in vain
?
You take the most powerful namethat exists and you empty it of
all its power.
I'm not saying that's what itmeans, but I'm just saying what
if that is what it means?
Ooh, so, ooh, oh, my gosh.
That's why this is my favoritething to talk about, because
(17:25):
being speaks to my identity, butdoing speaks to my activity.
Well, most people think that ifthey're not succeeding, the
thing to do is to try harder.
Just do more.
I believe Right.
Do more of what's already notproven to not work.
Yeah, that's, that's a good,right for frustration and being
exhausted?
Yeah right, but but what if?
(17:47):
What if the real secret totransformation was if you don't
like the output, change theinput, right?
Yeah well, the input foractivity is identity.
Identity is the input, activitythe output.
So, if you don't like whatyou're doing and you'd like to
(18:08):
do more, then go, change theinput and become more, because
doing speaks.
Being speaks to my identity,but doing speaks to my activity.
Now there's a gap in my identity.
There's a gap in my identity.
There's a gap in everybody'sidentity.
There's a gap in my.
There's a gap in everybody'sidentity.
There's the gap between who Iam right now and who I have the
potential becoming, becausepotential is the difference
(18:30):
between who I am and who I couldbe.
Potential is the differencebetween what I'm doing and what
I could be doing.
Potential is the differencebetween what I have and what I
could have.
Right, and so, as I'm, as I'mgoing through my life and I'm
experiencing life, and I've gotthis gap in my identity, I have
the potential to be this, butI'm only this.
(18:51):
How do I fill the gap in myidentity?
That's the question.
How do I fill the gap?
Huh, how do I fill the gap inmy identity?
That's a great question.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Isn't that a great question.
How do I fill the gap?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
in my identity, like I could say I don't know, could
I fill it with water?
No, that's not it.
No, how can I fill the gap inmy identity, like the difference
between who I am and who Icould be?
The only way to fill the gap inmy identity is with
intentionality.
(19:23):
I have to be hyper-intentionalabout becoming more.
Think about this I have tobecome hyper-intentional about
becoming more.
Have you ever thought about thefact that in order to improve in
(19:46):
life, it requires two thingsenergy and intention.
Yes, you're not going toimprove with, you're not going
to accidentally improve longterm.
That's not going to happen.
No, it doesn't.
You're not going to do nothingand improve.
So it requires energy andintention which creates directed
right.
You're taking your energy andyou're directing it
intentionally at an outcomeRight, okay, cool.
(20:12):
So if that's the case, that Ifeel like progress, improvement,
can only be created throughenergy and intention, do you not
find it fascinating youprobably do.
I find it fascinating that inorder for me to improve, it
(20:33):
requires intention and energy.
But in order for me to getworse, in order for me to dig,
it requires intention and energy.
But in order for me to getworse, in order for me to
digress.
It only requires neglect.
It requires no intention.
I don't have to intend to doworse.
I don't have to try to do worse.
All I have to do is not intendto get better and I will
automatically get worse.
I don't have to.
I don't have to.
(20:53):
I'm going to make myself sick.
I don't have to make myselfsick.
All I have to do is not focuson making myself healthy.
Yeah, I don't have to makemyself poor.
I don't have to make myselfspend money.
I have to do is not focus oncreating wealth.
So progress requires intention.
Digression only requiresneglect.
(21:14):
So I fill the gap in my identitywith intentionality.
I become hyperintentional aboutwhat Always be becoming more,
more than what, more than I'vebeen being.
If I'm always becoming morethan I've been being, then I am
being hyperintentional with mylife.
Okay, so that's the gap in myidentity, but guess what Myal
(21:34):
with my life?
Okay, so that's the gap in myidentity, but guess what?
My identity creates my activity.
I am, therefore I do.
I am who I am, therefore I dowhat I do.
Well, if I'm going to havebetter activity, I have to own a
better identity.
So how do I fill the gap in myactivity, because there's a
(21:58):
difference between what I'mdoing and what I could be doing.
So if I use intentionality tofill the gap in my identity,
what do I use to fill the gap inmy activity?
I use ingenuity.
I keep on coming up with a newapproach until I find one.
That's my eureka moment.
Almost never is our eurekamoment found on the first
(22:22):
attempt.
Almost never.
Why?
Because if I find my eurekamoment on the first attempt,
then seeking that eureka momentdoesn't turn me into a better
person.
So, even though activity is theoutput of identity, which is
the input, my activity, which isthe output, also affects the
(22:43):
input, which is identity.
So my activity can have aneffect on my identity.
Sometimes I will discover who Iam After I've already become
the person.
I will discover that I'vebecome that person because of
something I've done.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Okay, and then?
So identity is the input,activity is the output, but
activity is also an input.
Activity is the output ofidentity, but it's the input for
property.
So B speaks to my identity.
Do speaks to my activity.
Have speaks to my property.
Well, guess what?
(23:19):
My activity produces myproperty.
See, covetousness is not thedesire for more property.
Covetousness is the desire forproperty that I am unwilling to
do the right thing in order forme to deserve to have it.
I desire something that I don'tdeserve.
That's covetousness.
So why do I have less than Icould have?
(23:43):
Well, because my activityhasn't produced more.
Well, why hasn't my activityproduced more?
Because my identity, who Ithink I am won't let it.
Because my identity, who Ithink I am, won't let it.
So, being speaks to my identity.
Doing speaks to my activity,having speaks to my property.
This is my favorite principle ofall principles that I've ever
(24:03):
learned in my life, because,first and foremost, it's the
first one God ever spoke to aman Be, do, have.
Being is the root system of thetree, doing is the shoot system
, okay, the trunk of thebranches.
Having is the fruit system.
Yes, the fruits, wow.
(24:27):
And, by the way, this is apattern that keeps repeating
over and over in different ways.
But when we get it we're likeokay, if I don't like the fruit,
don't paint it, change root.
Yes, paint.
Painting an orange red doesn'tturn it into an apple no, oh my
gosh.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
but and when I wrote, you know, as I think of our
culture and I know you would sayI can speak as a black man
because I is one and you know.
And so I start thinking aboutthe things that we blame, those
contributing factors that weblame on the reason our identity
isn't what our identity shouldbe.
Right, because we think thatall these external factors are
(25:10):
the things that you know who weare like, who our mama told us
we you were, who are the folksthat we hung around, or I didn't
have a dad when I was growingup, or how do we get that
identity to not live in thisworld where we think everything
is against us and that becomesour identity?
So that means it helps stop ouractivity, right?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
We have to have heralds, prophets and when I say
prophets, I'm not talking aboutin the Old Testament, I'm not
talking about in the foresightprophets, I'm talking about
foretelling prophets, people whoare willing to proclaim the
truth.
We need people to tell us, weneed somebody to increase our
(25:52):
awareness, and I'm going to gofrom being a victim of the
circumstances of my life tobeing a victor through the
circumstances of my life.
Someone is going to have totell me the truth that negates
the lie that I believe.
It's going to wake me up out ofmy victimhood slumber because I
(26:14):
can't.
Nobody else can make me avictim.
People can attempt to victimizeme, but no one can make me a
victim but me.
I had polio as an infant.
I walk with a brace on my leg.
It's the direct result ofracism, segregation and
discrimination.
Me walking with a brace on myleg is the direct result of that
(26:35):
.
So nobody's going to tell methat I don't understand.
I do understand.
I just also understand that Iam not a victim of that.
It is just a part of myassignment and it's the law of
polarity says for every actionthere's an equal and opposite
reaction.
Right, for every action there'san equal and opposite reaction.
So it's impossible to havesomething quote bad happen to
(26:57):
you without it bringing alongsomething equally as good.
It's impossible to havesomething negative without it
bringing along something equallyas positive.
It's impossible to havesomething that's damaging in
your life without it bringingalong right with it something
equally dynamic.
And so what I've got to do,I've got to learn to do if I'm
going to be on this journey tofreedom and enter this level of
(27:22):
freedom.
I've got to learn how to say.
I've got to learn how to walkaround to the other side of my
circumstance and look at theother side of that coin.
Because I think of a biblicalexample of this, when Pharaoh
called Jacob and said sir, howold are you, sir?
(27:46):
Now here's what happened toJacob, his sons.
He didn't know this is whathappened, but his sons took
their youngest son and threw himin a pit.
And then some people came andtook him out of the pit and sold
him into slavery.
They went back and told theirdad that his son was dead.
So he was separated from hisson.
When his son was a child, hethought his son was dead.
(28:12):
He ran away from his brotherbecause his brother wanted to
kill him.
He worked hard for seven yearsfor this woman and her father
tricked him and gave him thatgirl's sister.
And then he worked seven moreyears for the girl he actually
wanted.
And so he went through all ofthese different circumstances
and then there's a famine in theland and they go to Egypt to
(28:36):
get some food.
And he's got, he's down, hissons are down there and the
prime minister said we're goingto keep one of y'all and then go
tell your, you bring yourfamily, and then I'll let this
other brother go.
And so Pharaoh asked Jacob howold he was.
And here's what Jacob said.
He said few and evil have beenthe days of the life of my
(28:57):
pilgrimage.
Few and evil, really.
Now guess who else had thosesame exact circumstances?
For the most part His son,joseph, the one they actually
threw in the pit, who actuallygot sold into slavery.
And Joseph went down and was aslave in Potiphar's house.
Potiphar's wife tried to seducehim.
It didn't work, she lied on him.
He went to prison for a slavein Potiphar's house.
(29:17):
Potiphar's wife tried to seducehim.
It didn't work, she lied on him.
He went to prison for a crimehe didn't commit and he stayed
in prison until the perfect time.
Good thing he didn't have agoal to get out.
Anyway, that's anotherconversation for a different day
.
And Joseph named his two sons,ephraim and Manasseh.
(29:39):
What do those names mean?
What Ephraim and Manasseh mean?
One of them means God has causedme not to remember the labor
and the toil in my father'shouse, in other words, the fact
that I had all this traumagrowing up in my family.
God had made me forget my trauma.
(30:00):
His other son, his name meansand I don't remember which one
is which but his name means Godhas made me fruitful in the land
of my affliction.
So one of the people who wentthrough the experiences few and
evil have been the days of thelife of my pilgrimage.
The other person who wentthrough the experiences few and
evil have been the days of thelife of my pilgrimage.
The other person who wentthrough the same thing said God
has made me to forget the toiland the hardship in my father's
(30:22):
house and has made me fruitfulin the land of my affliction.
So what is that?
Neither one of them werevictims, neither one of them
were impacted by thecircumstance as much as they
were impacted by theirperspective and most people who
(30:43):
think they're a prisoner ofcircumstance are actually a
prisoner of their perspective,of what they believe that
circumstance means.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
So all the things that have been happened to them,
the way that they that, all thethings that have been happened
to them, they're the way thatthey looked at it.
The way yeah decided is this iswhat happened to me and it's a
bad thing, and they can look atit.
I think one of the things thatyou talk about a lot is no
matter what is in the future,whatever outcome is in the
future that we're perceiving itto be, we made it up because oh,
(31:12):
yeah, yeah, anything I tellmyself about a future outcome.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I made it up because anything I tell myself about a
future outcome, I made it up.
If I say I'm going home thisafternoon when I leave work, I
don't know that I'm going home.
I know that I'm going to headin the direction of home.
That's my intention.
I could literally trip over thecurb on my way out the door,
fall down and hit my head on thesidewalk and end up in the
hospital for the rest of the day.
God forbid that that shouldhappen, but that possibility
exists.
So when I say I'm going home Iliterally made that up I say I'm
(31:39):
going to drink, I'm going totake a drink of water.
I could.
That water could go down mywindpipe and I could literally
like drown right here in abottle of water.
But we don't.
We don't say I'm going toattempt.
I'm going to try to go home andhope that I don't trip over the
curb and bump my head on thesidewalk and end up in the
hospital and I'm going to hopethat they don't give me the
wrong drugs for the wrong injuryand I'm going to hope that
while I'm driving home that Idon't get hit by a truck.
We don't do that.
(32:00):
We don't throw up all thecontingencies around things that
don't matter.
Well, here's my question whydon't we throw up all these
contingencies around things thatdo?
Well, I'm going to try to builda business.
We don't say I'm going to tryto go eat dinner, when the
reality is we made both of themup.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Why don't we just decide?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
we're going to go do what we're going to go do and so
um, anyway, I've ranted for along time, but now I think you
can see why be, do, have is myfavorite principle and why, like
, I believe it's interesting.
You asked me about, you askedme about um, like how can we
break free of this idea of thefact we're a victim?
(32:40):
It's so fascinating, like.
I'm thinking about the Trumptariffs right now.
Right, so you look at the Trumptariffs, people are all bent
out of shape.
And you have people oh, thetariffs are great because all
we're doing is reciprocaltariffs to the people who've
been giving us tariffs all along.
Other people are like no, youcan't do it that way, because we
have way more people than theyhave and so therefore, it's not
equitable.
Blah, blah, blah.
And then you have the peoplewho are like Donald Trump is
(33:02):
like he's like we want to make.
The reason I'm making thesetariffs is so we can make
America a manufacturing nationagain.
Well, all that sounds, all oftheir arguments sound great.
Here's what I'm going to sayabout the whole argument of
making America a manufacturingnation again, where we're going
to find workers because we can'teven find people who don't want
to do work that's notmanufacturing work.
Like good help is hard to find.
(33:24):
Attempting to turn America.
In my opinion, and regardlessof what you think about
president Trump, whether youthink he's great or whether you
think he's terrible I happen tolike him personally, I happen to
think that he's really, reallythe best thing that's happened
to our country in a while.
As far as the president'sconcerned which a lot of people
disagree with me, but that'sfine too.
I could be wrong I don't thinkI am, but I could be but I think
(33:46):
his idea about tariffs bringingmanufacturing back to America
is like fighting to raiseminimum wage.
What you're doing is you'resaying let's elevate the bottom
to make it easier for people whoare unwilling to develop
themselves.
Why do you want to make Americaa manufacturing nation when
America is advanced to the pointwhere you no longer need to be
(34:08):
a manufacturing nation?
We can manufacture stuffcheaper somewhere else and teach
our people to learn new skillsthat will serve them better than
learning how to drive aforklift Not that there's
anything wrong with driving aforklift.
We're emphasizing the wrongthing.
When you emphasize raisingminimum wage, you're inferring
to the people that you'reraising a minimum wage.
For that you need to stay herefor the rest of your life.
So I'm going to make youcomfortable.
(34:29):
Don't be a victim of therhetoric, anyway.
Don't be a victim of therhetoric, anyway.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Those are some of my yeah, no, I so appreciate that.
One of the things that I know,that you know, at least when I
think of you know I grew up andthey told me I was a special ed
kid and that I had to attendspecial ed classes.
And you know, I went to a whitehigh school, predominantly
white, 10 special ed classes.
And you know I went to a whitehigh school, predominantly white
.
There's 3,000 students and 30of us were folks of color and 20
(34:59):
of the 30 of us were all inspecial ed class.
So you know that could havebeen the circumstances.
That's called a clue.
That was a pretty good clue.
I didn't realize it until laterin life, but I think, like the
things that you were able to doas a result of polio and having
this incredible memory and youknow, despite those
circumstances that werehappening and and I don't even
(35:19):
know if it's more of a memory ora recall, but one of the things
that that I say to myself, well, I don't have this tremendous
recall, but I have technologyand other things that can help
me be able to do.
What would you say?
You know just your ability todo a poem or your ability to be
able to speak or communicatebetter.
I believe you've worked on that, and some of us don't even work
(35:40):
on any of those things.
What do you attribute to youknow, to be able to have that
kind of reach?
I?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
believe I'm going to agree with Jim quick with regard
to this.
So I believe that memory andrecall are muscles.
Okay, like muscles, the moreyou work on them, the stronger
they get.
People say I don't have a goodmemory.
Everybody has a good memory.
Everybody remembers everythingthey've ever heard, everything
they've ever seen, everythingthey've ever done.
(36:06):
They just don't have a goodsystem for recall.
Okay, so, if you do, and sofirst, like if somebody's going
to have better recall, the firstthing I have to do is stop
telling themselves they don'thave a good memory, like because
we're.
If, if, like I say to peopleevery now and then
congratulations, if you fightfor your limitations, you get to
keep them.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
So why would?
Speaker 1 (36:26):
I say I have a bad memory.
I don't have a bad memory, Ihave a great memory.
I have an ironclad memory.
My memory is like rock solidand I have a great recall system
.
Like people say, I'm terribleat remembering names, no, you're
terrible at paying attentionwhen people are telling you
their name, because you'rethinking about the thing you
want to say next.
Like, I have a system forremembering people's names.
You know what it's called.
When they're telling me theirname, I'm actually listening.
(36:49):
Oh, but I'm right that thatthat'll change the game.
Number two, I will repeat theirname to them and I'll usually
ask one or two questions.
Somebody tells me their name.
I'll say, wow, nice to meet you.
Let's say nice to meet you, bob.
How do you spell that?
Nice to meet you?
(37:09):
Right, b O B?
Now, one of the things I learnedin signing books regardless of
what the person's name is,always ask them how to spell it,
because you are going to getsome people with some names we
would call normal names thathave some very unusual spellings
, okay, so so the first thingI'm going to do like I mean, I
(37:30):
know somebody named Karen C A RY N.
I mean I know somebody namedKaren C-A-R-Y-N.
Right, wow, exactly, exactly.
So when somebody tells me theirname, don't in communication.
I love what my daughter says.
She says the biggest mistake incommunication is thinking that
it happened.
One of the reasons we make themistake of thinking that
communication happened isbecause we assume that we know
(37:51):
what people mean.
We don't ask them what theymean, and we assume people know
what we mean and we don't say itclearly.
So when somebody's introducingthemselves, I say, well, that's
an interesting name, how do youspell that?
And then they'll tell me, andI'll say so, are you named after
someone?
Well, I'm actually named aftermy grandfather on my mother's
(38:11):
side, and they called him Robert, and then they called him Bob,
my dad's Robert Jr.
I'm Bob III, and so they justcall me B3, right.
So now their name is no longerjust a word, it's actually a
story, and our minds aredesigned to remember stories,
like if I say David and GoliathSee, I didn't.
(38:34):
Now, how do you rememberGoliath's name?
You've never met Goliath, nope,you've never even met David.
But when I say David and yousay, the first thing that comes
to your mind is Goliath.
You didn't say David andBathsheba.
You didn't say David andSolomon, you didn't say David
and Joab, you said David.
You didn't even say David andJesse, or David and Eliab, his
brothers or his father, you saidDavid and Goliath.
(38:54):
Why?
Because our minds are.
God made our minds to rememberstories, right?
So if you can get somebody toengage in a story about their
name I mean I can think of awhole bunch of other questions I
can just ask somebody abouttheir name so I never forget it.
So did you ever hate your nameor have you always loved your
name?
And then they'll tell me.
(39:15):
I'll say, have people evermispronounced your name?
And if they have mispronouncedyour name, what other things
have they called you?
I know for me they've called meMarion, malcolm, miriam, melvin
, marvin, milton.
I've been called everything butMyron.
I mean, bro, you add in allkinds of letters that don't even
exist.
So has anybody evermispronounced your name?
(39:36):
What are some of themispronunciations of your name
that you've heard, right?
So have you ever met anybodyelse with your name?
Or, if they have a popular name, do you regret having a popular
name that so many people have?
Are you glad you have a popularname that's easy to remember
and easy to spell, like you canliterally sit there and ask
people a whole bunch ofquestions about their name, and
so now you spend a bunch of timewith them on their name.
How are you going to forgettheir name?
Now it's a story, you know howto spell it, you have all this
(40:00):
information, so now thatperson's story becomes a part of
your story.
It's not just a word that'sdisconnected from context.
So does that make that helpful?
Speaker 2 (40:18):
context.
So does that make that helpful?
Oh yeah, so super, superhelpful.
You brought up intention beforeand I know that my other
favorite subject.
So you brought up attentionbecause you know, I think of you
, know just the fact that younow somebody wants to do it your
business strategist, you helppeople acquire money and a lot
of people are afraid of yourmoney anyways.
They got this bad relationshipwith money.
But as an intention, I knowthat.
(40:40):
Okay, now I'm ready to start.
There's probably going to besome kind of disruption that's
going to hit me and I don't knowwhat that is.
But what are some things that Ihave to do with me to become
the person that can be withintention and now, hey, I want
to do it, I'm going to do it, Itold you I'm going to do it, and
then they don't do it.
What are some things that wecan do now that we in our minds,
(41:02):
we have intention, but toreally make it happen?
Speaker 1 (41:06):
So all transformation begins with awareness.
So, if you think abouttransformation, transformation
means there's something I'd liketo become, there's someone I'd
like to become, but I'm notalready.
There's something I'd like todo that I can't do already.
There's something I like tohave that I can't have already,
okay, great.
So if I'm going to transformfrom who I am to who I'd like to
become, from what I can do,what I can't do to what I'd like
(41:28):
to be able to do, from what Idon't have to what I'd like to
have, then I've got to transform.
And the first thing that has totransform is my identity.
So how does transformationhappen?
All transformation begins withawareness, okay.
So it begins.
So I become aware that there issomething that's more desirable
(41:49):
.
Whatever that is, it doesn'tmatter, and I'll give you a
perfect example of this in aminute after I'm done saying so.
So oh, there's something that'smore desirable, okay.
So after awareness, the nextstep is intention.
I have to intend to step intomy new awareness, okay, but if
(42:13):
I'm going to intend to, I've gotto go further than just
intending to.
So where do I have to go fromthere?
I have to say, okay, I'mintending to step into that new
awareness.
But now I've got to make adecision.
I have to decide.
Decide is not the same aschoose.
Choose means pick one Decideday of or from side to cut.
(42:35):
So when I decide something, Icut myself off from or cut
myself off of any otherpossibility.
This is what I'm going to do.
This is what my life is goingto be about.
Nothing's going to stand in myway.
This is what I will accomplish.
I decide.
So I've got awareness, I've gotintention, I've got decision,
(43:03):
and then I've got intention.
I've got decision and then I'vegot discipline.
So discipline is what keeps mefrom breaking the covenant to
myself of my intention, of mydecision.
So discipline is what keeps mefrom breaking the covenant I
made with myself when I made adecision, because the word
covenant and the word decideboth mean to cut.
So when I decide something, I'mmaking a covenant with me,
(43:24):
right, which means I wouldrather die and keep my word to
myself than live and break it.
That's a decision, okay.
So now I've got my awareness, Ibecame aware of something I was
unaware of.
I set an intention on this newthing.
I've decided to do it, and nowI've got discipline, which means
(43:47):
I'm not going to let myself offthis hook.
Like I decided, I am going tostart my day with exercise
instead of hot bath, cold plunge, hot bath and then shower.
So it's going to be workout,shower, get dressed, go to work,
cold plunge all that otherstuff is going to have to wait
until sometime later in the day.
(44:10):
Why I had to make getting in theshape I desire to be in and
having the health I desire tohave my number one priority,
even though exercise hasn't beenmy number one priority since I
was in high school.
Okay, but it was my number onepriority in high school.
Other kids were eating lunch.
I would go to the weight roomand lift weights, so okay.
So now I've got attention Imean not attention Awareness,
(44:36):
intention, decision, discipline,recognition.
I take time to acknowledge whatmy new awareness, my new
intention, my decision and mydiscipline have gotten me.
That's why, even though I don'tlose weight every day, I weigh
(44:56):
myself every single morning.
Why?
Because that way I can stay ontop of it.
I weigh myself every day, but Idon't care about that.
I weigh myself every day.
Why?
That's part of my discipline.
Does that make sense?
So this morning, now yesterday,I rode my assault bike for 30
(45:17):
minutes.
The day before that, I rode myassault bike for 25 minutes.
This morning, the first thing Idid was rode my assault bike
for 30 minutes.
Tomorrow morning, the firstthing I'm going to do?
I'm going to wake up at 5o'clock in the morning, I'm
going to get dressed, I'm goingto go downstairs, I'm going to
go out on my patio and I'm goingto ride my assault bike for 30
minutes, listening to music,making my heart rate, getting my
heart rate up above 150 beats aminute, sweating like a crazy
(45:38):
person.
Tomorrow morning, though, I'mgoing to have a towel around my
neck, even though it's not hotout there, because I'm going to
wipe all the sweat off my face.
I am going to do that before Ido anything Right.
So that's my discipline, butI'm going to recognize that I
did that, and guess what?
Guess what?
I'm going to recognize it next,tomorrow morning, when I step
on the scale, because I alsohave my workout, my tonal
workout, and my weighted vestworkout.
(46:00):
That I'm going to do when I gethome.
So I know that tomorrow, like,yes, two days ago two days ago I
weighed 187 pounds.
This morning, I weighed 183.7.
Tomorrow it'll be less.
So I recognize.
Why am I recognizing?
(46:20):
So that I can acknowledge thatmy awareness and my intention
and my decision and mydiscipline are not a waste of my
time.
It's very hard for us to workon something that we don't
acknowledge is working.
And then, lastly so afterawareness, intention, decision,
discipline and recognition, thelast one is celebration,
(46:41):
Celebration.
Okay, so when I get to 170pounds and my blood pressure is
like 116 over 65, I'll celebrate.
How am I going to celebrate?
I don't know, but I'm going tofind something fun to do and
I'll figure out what that islong before I get there, before
you get there.
You see what I'm saying.
I do, I do.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
Where I see the, where I guess the difficult part
of it is.
We assume that we have enough,or we built this muscle that you
talked about before, ofself-discipline, to be able to
do all these things.
So I have my awareness, I havemy attention, I've made my
decision.
Now I get to the disciplinething.
Do I need help?
Do I need to solicit people ifI haven't?
Speaker 1 (47:25):
developed.
Maybe it depends on yourpersonality and who you are, but
really, discipline means I dowhat I'm supposed to do, when
I'm supposed to do it, the wayI'm supposed to do it, and I do
it that way every time I do it.
That's discipline, like, for me.
I'm a very autonomous person.
I don't like asking forpermission.
(47:45):
I don't like people pretendingthat they have the right to give
me permission.
So for me, like, I don't need aworkout partner, I don't need
an accountability buddy.
When I make a decision and I'mdisciplined, it's a wrap, it's
as good as done, like.
So it depends on who you are,but I, but I think.
I think the answer to thequestion you're asking me,
(48:06):
though, is a different, is adifferent answer, because
there's a, there's a.
I think there's a betterquestion you can ask than do I
need, do I need, like, somebodyto hold myself accountable to?
Here's what you need.
Here's the thing that's goingto create the.
You have to become aware of thehigh cost of not making that
decision and setting thatintention.
Okay, right, um, so recently, avery, very dear friend of mine,
(48:31):
um, last thursday in fact, um,he had a brain aneurysm and I
went to see him in the hospitaland he's unconscious and his
family's there and they're intears and basically the doctors
have already told them there'snothing they can do.
And his wife told me that hesuffered from high blood
pressure since he was a kid.
Basically, right, and I'm like,okay, maybe like like my blood
(48:59):
pressure's high, that could beme.
And so I got a clear vision ofwhat not having this intention,
I got a very clear awareness ofwhat not having this intention
and not making this decision andnot having this discipline is
going to look like for me and myfamily if I don't make these
(49:24):
hard choices right now.
See, the problem is people havethis Pollyanna picture of how
good life's going to be whenthey achieve the thing.
They don't.
Have a crucify my flesh pictureof how terrible life is going
(49:46):
to be if they don't.
Yeah, they don't.
Have right.
So for me, not eating pork easy.
Have right.
So like for me, not eating porkeasy.
Because when I think of eatingthe flesh of a scavenger animal,
whether it's pork, shrimp,lobster, it's like eating flies
and roaches to me.
Like, because they're the samething in the animal kingdom that
(50:07):
flies and roaches are in theinsect kingdom.
Like why would I put that in mymouth.
Why would I eat something thateats its own feces?
I'm not going to do that, right?
So that's not hard.
Not eating pork is not hard forme, that's easy.
No, it's hard for me.
I'm not going to restaurants oh, that's hard.
I like restaurant food.
(50:28):
I like and it's not that I likerestaurant food as much as I
like the idea of somebodyserving me.
I like the idea of somebodybringing me food and sitting on
the table before me and thencleaning up my mess when I'm
done.
I know it sounds allbougie-fied, I get it, but I
(50:49):
like it.
Preparing food, cooking food,setting a table, cleaning a
table, running a dishwasher.
None of that Just go, sit down,pay them, they feed you, you go
home and then you hang out withthe person you love the most.
Like, sign me up for thatprogram.
Does that make sense?
(51:10):
It makes sense.
Most people are not reallyreally good at painting in vivid
colors the really ugly pictureof how terrible life is going to
be if they don't get this thingdone.
I don't want to be laying inthe hospital with my chest
cracked open because I couldn'tsay no to restaurant food.
(51:32):
So guess what I've decided todo for the next 10 days?
Just eat raw fruits andvegetables and my protein shake
and no other other than myprotein shake.
No processed food for the next10 days at least maybe longer
and drink water Like no sugarybeverages.
No insulin spiking foods otherthan fruit.
Some fruit I'll eat threepieces of fruit per day and my
(51:54):
protein shake.
Other than that, it's all raw.
Some fruit I'll eat threepieces of fruit per day and my
protein shake.
Other than that, it's all rawfruits and vegetables.
I'm good with that.
I'll make my own salad dressingfrom scratch and I'll make it
from vegetables, spices andfruit juice.
I'm just done.
Why?
Because I love my family.
I just don't want to put myfamily like.
I want to live my life like alight bulb.
(52:15):
I want to shine as brightly asI can for as long as I possibly
can, and one day I burn out andit's a wrap, it's gone.
This whole idea that you haveto get sicker as you get older
is a myth, but it's a myth thattoo many people bought into.
I am stronger now than I waswhen I was 30.
I'm in better shape now than Iwas when I was 30.
Speaker 2 (52:34):
when I was 30.
I'm in better shape now than Iwas when I was 30.
That is so cool.
And how will you celebrate that?
Like cause?
I know you know part of yourprogression here.
You made the decision, you'redoing, you're doing the thing,
and then have you alreadythought about how you celebrate
the?
Or is just life, because youget to be that.
Speaker 1 (52:49):
No, I haven't.
I haven't thought about it yet,but I'm going to.
I'll figure that out before Iget there.
I may, I may fly myself to someamazing location and play three
rounds of golf at Punta Espadaand La Cana and and Caracas in
the DR, or something like it'llbe.
It'll be a major celebration,oh sweet.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
I really want, before we end, is to talk about your
faith and what's your beliefsystem that has now been able to
help you, or everything that'sbeen able to allow you to
accomplish the things thatyou've accomplished, and why
that's so important.
I know you do biblicalprinciples with what we're doing
and so with what you do,biblical prudence and business
(53:31):
at the same time, and youcombine what other people don't
do.
Speaker 1 (53:36):
Well, I don't.
Well, I do combine them, butGod combined them originally.
I'm just, all I'm doing is Godhas the best content.
I just repeat his content.
People think I'm smart, eventhough I tell them, hey, I
didn't make this up, I got itfrom God.
Like who, let you use it too?
It's like I don't have a corneron the market on that stuff.
So business is a good ideabecause business is a God idea.
(53:58):
I received Christ when I was 16years old.
That's not religion, that'slike I received and trusted in
the death, burial andresurrection of Jesus Christ for
my eternal life as my fullpayment for eternal life.
Not some good deed.
I did not some church attended,not some baptism, not something
that I do.
Literally.
(54:19):
I am not trusting in MyronGolden's good deeds for my
relationship with God.
I'm trusting in God's gooddeeds for my relationship with
God.
I'm trusting in what Jesus didwas enough and then, because he
did that for me, I have a desireto live my life for him and I
do not desire to misrepresenthim, because he is my king and
because he is my king, he hasalready told me in his word that
(54:40):
he desires to make me the kingof my thing, and so I serve a
king who wants to make me a king.
There's another king.
He's a fake king.
He's called Satan, the devil,the enemy, the adversary.
He's a king that wants to makepeople a slave, and then he
wants to use the people who he'smade slaves to build his
(55:01):
kingdom, and he works them likea three-legged mule until they
die.
I'm glad I served the real king, and so I don't want to
misrepresent my king by notruling well over my kingdom
assignment, which he assigned meto, and so that's where my
faith comes into play.
I don't do this biblical Biblestuff as a ploy because I think
(55:24):
it's going to make me some money.
If I throw the word kingdom inwhat I do, I do it because I
discovered that this is God'splan.
The kingdom of God is a familybusiness.
How do I know that?
Because Jesus said know ye notthat I must be about my father's
business.
I must work the work of himthat sent me, while it is day,
(55:46):
for the night cometh when no mancan work.
So I do what I do the way I doit because I believe that's the
way God intended for it to bedone.
Speaker 2 (55:58):
Oh man, thank you.
Thank you so much for that.
What didn't I in the next twominutes before we finished?
What did I not talk about?
That you wanted to make surethat-.
Speaker 1 (56:12):
I don't know, man.
I mean you opened the box, bro,and a whole bunch of stuff
jumped out.
Yeah, I don't know that.
We didn't talk about anything.
If people want to know more,they can find me on YouTube
under my name, myron Golden, orInstagram, my name, myron Golden
.
I think this is one thing thatwe didn't talk about.
If somebody, pretending to be me, attempts to sell you some
crypto investment thing, it'snot me.
(56:33):
Attempts to sell you somecrypto investment thing, it's
not me.
If somebody on social mediamessages you and tries to get
you to buy something, it's neverme.
Now, I do sell stuff.
I've got my books my Boss Movesbook on bossmovesbookcom.
I've got my other book, trashman to Cash man, at
trashmandocashmancom.
I've got my Make More OffersChallenge at
makemoreofferschallengecom.
But I won't message you onInstagram or Tik TOK or YouTube
(56:58):
to attempt to get you to buy it.
Like it's out there for peopleto find and when they find it
and they want it, more power tothem.
But I don't inbox people andmake them offers.
So if somebody does that,they're scamming.
They're scamming you.
Don't let somebody use my nameto scam you out of your hard
earned money.
So, oh my, don't let somebodyuse my name to scam you out of
your hard-earned money.
Speaker 2 (57:16):
Oh my gosh, Thank you .
This has been so incredible.
Thank you for being on.
I have my first challenge nextweek, so I'm excited.
Let's go my first offers I'mteaching people how to do
podcasting.
Let's go and how to make ithappen and so I can't wait for
that to happen, and so I can'twait for that to happen.
(57:48):
This is, you know, when I thinkabout folks that are in my
world and have had, I was ableto take the information, absorb
the information and then make itmy own, and so just the fact
that you're here with me today,we will spend more time together
.
I know that, no matter what,but I can't wait to emulate some
(58:12):
of the things that you've beenable to help me do.

helicopter pilot, first one inthe army, or somebody who's been
to prison, who's become apastor for the last 34 years and
made a difference as aprominent attorney there's so
many ways that we can besuccessful in life.
I think Myron just stepped usthrough oh man, some just
incredible things intention, be,do, have, and all those
wonderful things that I hope youtake advantage of watching
