(00:00):
A lot of people don't actually invest in themselves because
they don't feel like they're actually worth investing in.
That's sick. It's fucking shit, man.
What is it gonna take for me to become someone I've never been
before? Well, I'll tell you one thing.
You gotta do shit you never donebefore.
Are you understanding? You are worthy of success?
I'm talking to you. I'm talking to the one that
doesn't feel like they're good enough.

(00:20):
I'm talking to the one that feels like our success is
bullshit. It's for some other people
bullshit. You were born with greatness.
Are you ready to awaken to your greatness?
Are you ready to live your best life?

(00:46):

lives. Many have gone on to start their
own business and become speakers, coaches, and leaders
who are now transforming lives every single day.
I've built a global community with over 3.5 million people

(01:08):

Welcome to the Luke Mind Power podcast, wherever you're tuning

(01:54):
in from. If you're on Facebook, if you're
on Instagram, if you're on TikTok, if you are on YouTube,
if you are on Rumble, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Audible,
Apple podcast, Spotify is in thebuilding.
Luke, Mind Power's in the building.
And if you're watching right now, make sure you put your name
in the chat because you're in the building as well.

(02:15):
And what is this building? Yeah, well, this is this is the
building of love. This is the building of
positivity. This is the building of
empowerment. This is the building of
motivation, inspiration. This is the building of you
stepping into your power and living your dreams, not your
fears, ladies and gentlemen, because there's a lot of fear
out there. There's a lot of uncertainty out
there. But you know what?
Life is uncertain. Get it through your thick skull.

(02:39):
You don't know when it's time for you to go.
But if you don't start living now and taking some risks and
taking action and saying yes andgiving yourself permission.
You know, a lot of us don't actually invest in ourselves
because we don't feel that we'reworthy of it.
We don't feel that we're worthy.And I've had a lot of people as
I, you know, build my coaching programmes and help people to

(02:59):
become coaches and help people to heal their childhood trauma.
A lot of people don't actually invest in themselves because
they don't feel like they're actually worth investing in.
You know, they don't actually want to pay the 3005 thousand
$10,000 to invest in themselves to get the transformation in
themselves because they don't feel that they're worthy of
investing in. That's sick.

(03:23):
It's fucking shit, man. That's why I'm here to keep
empowering you until you get to the point where you go.
I've got to do something if you need to do something because not
everybody does. You know if you can figure shit
because it's all up to you. You know yourself better than I
do. I don't know you better than you
do. So stop telling and thinking
that possibly I'm going to be the answer to the things that
you need to do. No, you always have the answers

(03:44):
within you and it's just up to you to make some decisions, to
do some research to figure out what is it going to take for me
to level up? What is it going to take for me
to become a better version of myself?
What is it going to take for me to get out of my own way?
What is it going to take for me to heal and overcome the past?
Up to you. What is it going to take for me
to step into a new reality? What is it going to take for me
to become someone I've never been before?

(04:05):
Well, I'll tell you one thing. You got to do shit you never
done before. Pause for reflection.
Na na na na. Come on, like sing with me na na
na na sha sha sha La La la. You know what I'm trying to say.

(04:28):
Do you know what I'm trying to say?
Ladies and gentlemen, are you listening?
Are you understanding you are worthy of success?
I'm talking to you. I'm talking to the one that
doesn't feel like they're good enough.
I'm talking to the one that feels like our success is
bullshit. It's for some other people
bullshit. You were born with greatness,
OK? You were born with something

(04:49):
inside of you that just fucking doesn't want to give up.
And it's about time that you step up and you start holding on
to that fucking belief that there is something in you that
you just don't know yet. And if you don't give yourself
permission and you don't say yesto yourself from the conscious
mind, from the mind that is powerful enough to be able to
go, let me do some research. Let me figure some things out.

(05:11):
Let me ask some questions and then let me make a decision from
the present moment and the information that I have
received. Not from the fee and the
subconscious programming of the lack of trust in other people
because we've been manipulated and fucked over from other
people in our life that we allowed in our life.
Not that we necessarily were asking to be manipulated or

(05:35):
taken advantage of. But guess what?
It just so happened for five or ten years and all of a sudden
we've lost trust in others because we let one person fuck
us over and we tried to leave. I'm talking to you guys that are
in those relationships. Or maybe you just left the
fucking shit relationship. The relationship where someone

(05:57):
else keeps abusing you. The relationship where someone
keeps using you. The relationship where you keep
allowing something. Not that you necessarily want
to, but you feel fucking stuck. You know?
You feel stuck and you want to leave, but it's hard because
maybe you're not in control of the finances.
And you're like, if I leave, howam I going to fucking survive?

(06:17):
How am I going to put food in mymouth?
I'm going to feed the kids. I get you.
If that's you, I get you. But guess what?
Eventually you got to make some changes.
And I'm here as a beacon of light.
I'm here to speak some words into your soul.
I'm here to plant some good seeds.
Because you know what? Maybe change isn't something

(06:39):
that happens to you now. Maybe you're meant to listen to
this podcast and you're like, Ohmy gosh, Oh, I love listening to
Luke. He cracks me up.
I love his motivation, love his inspiration, but ain't no ready
for doing no work on me yet. But I'll just keep listening to
Luke as many people like that. The amount of lots of people
that have joined my coaching programmes and they'll I'll be
listening to you for fucking twoyears, you know, and it takes

(07:02):
time before you do something. Could be working with me, could
be working with someone else. Maybe you won't even work with
anyone and you go, man, where was your transformation from?
I just listened to fucking podcasts and motivational
speakers. Luke mind power and I changed my
life, you know, because I've gotto tell you something.
To be honest, guys, you know, I wasn't this personal development

(07:27):
self help junkie to be frank. I don't know who fucking Frank
is, but fucker, somehow it came into this bloody sentence.
I just want to be frank. I don't want to be frank.
I'm fucking Luke, to be Frank. Who said it's funny?
My middle name is Francis. My parents are like Francis
Shack Francisco Francis Frank, right?

(07:51):
To be frank, because let me giveyou let me give you like a
overview of what I did for myself to help me to grow,
become a better version of myself.
OK. It wasn't that I didn't invest
in myself. It's it is that I actually did
because I was like, I need to dosomething to get better.
Who can I learn from? Let me tell you something.

(08:13):
The best thing you can ever do in your life is learn from
someone that you think inspires you, that you feel inspires you.
Learn from someone that you feelcan help you, that you feel you
have a connection with, right. So for me, the first person that
I had a connection with, Lisa Nichols, go type in Lisa Nichols

(08:41):
and go listen to some of her videos on YouTube.
That's the first person. So I was on this mission to open
a gym in Poland. I was on a mission because I was
like, I need to move from Australia.
I want to move. I want to live a different life.
I want to chase my dream. I want to do something, change,
you know, get away from the lifethat I'd been living.

(09:01):
I knew I had to change. I knew I had to do something
different. No more coke, suicide or
ideation. Living in insecurity, fear,
doubt, not living my best life, not living in my purpose.
Just working for the government.Monday to Friday, government
job. You know, I knew that there was
more. OK, someone wrote something
about, you know, don't bash on the people that work 9:00 to
5:00. Everybody needs a job, man.

(09:23):
Everybody who makes assumptions,I'm just here sharing what I'm
offering, what I do, and if you just so want to become a coach,
guess what? I can teach you how you want to
make 10K more than that a month.I'll teach you how you want to
build your social media platforms.
I'll teach you how you don't have to listen to my podcast,
you don't have to work with me, and I ain't judging you for

(09:44):
working whatever job you work. All I'm here to do is bring your
attention to are you happy? Are you living in your purpose?
Do you enjoy what you're doing? Because why wouldn't I remind
you of, hey, you don't have to keep working in that job that
you hate for the rest of your fucking life, OK?

(10:05):
And the reason why I'm able to speak like that is because I was
unfulfilled. I was working in jobs I wasn't
enjoying. And I was wondering, I wonder
what would it feel like if I actually found something that I
enjoyed doing. Actually, I had a call today and
I can't remember exactly what what the person said, but she
asked, yes, she asked me a question.
She said, you know what, like, where does all your energy come

(10:28):
from? Where's the energy and, and the
the inspiration or like, how do you keep up this high vibe
energy? And I'm like, because, and it's
funny because I was at the and in a moment I was like, Oh,
that's an interesting question. And then I finished off the
answer by saying, when you do what you love, you'll never work
a day in your life. And I know that was a pretty

(10:49):
hard jab. You know, it's a pretty like
deep, you know, protruding thornto just go, you know, because do
I work of course have a fucking routine.
I answer emails, I get on calls of people I'm hustling, you

(11:11):
know, but it's much better hustling.
It's much better freaking, you know, working from wherever I
want to work. It's much better being able to
travel whenever I want to travel.
It's much being much easier being financially free.
It's much easier helping people from all over the world, doing
what I'm good at, what I enjoy. It's much easier than to be

(11:32):
dreading getting up in the morning and going, fucking hell,
another day. Can't wait till Friday.
I used to have those weeks, ladies and gentlemen, it would
be Wednesday. I'll be like, fuck you, another
two days. Come on, fuck you can't wait
till Friday so I can get some fucking coke, call some friends

(11:52):
over so we can get fucking high.Give me some fucking alcohol so
I can fucking get high and get hammered for the next fucking
three days and then not show up to work on Monday, even Tuesday,
get back to work on Wednesday, make it to Friday and fucking do
it all again. Let's go.

(12:12):
That was fucking live. Fuck yeah.
Wednesday. Oh my gosh.
Tuesday was the worst because itwas the furthest away from
fucking Friday. Had to wait such a long time for
the weekend so we can get hammered again, you know?
So like, this is life, man, you know what I mean?

(12:32):
Like, it's up to you. Don't bash on me for fucking
inviting people to get out of the fucking shit jobs that
they're not happy about and going hey, like I'm just sharing
my story. You know that Once Upon a time I
was stuck in a rut. Once Upon a time I was in
fucking debt. Once Upon a time I got rejected
time and time again from fuckingevery girl that I was trying to

(12:53):
be with. Once Upon a time I was left
feeling not enough. Once Upon a time I had fucking
suicidal ideation. Once Upon a time I was fucking
snorting cocaine all the time. Once Upon a time, I was not
living my fucking dreams. And I decided, you know what?
I'm going to make a fucking change.
Is that OK? It's a pretty cool song.

(13:15):
Michael Jackson going to make itchange.
For once in my life. It's going to feel real good.
It's going to make a difference.Going to make it.
You heard that fucking song, haven't you?
Yeah. That's all I did.

(13:36):
I said, hey, you know what? I'm going to make a change in my
life. I'm going to learn to love
myself. And I freaking tell you, ladies
and gentlemen, and I've told you50,000 times before on the Luke
Mine Power podcast, on this podcast, I've told you self love
will answer all of your fucking questions.

(13:56):
You want to live your dreams, learn to love yourself.
What is it going to do? It's going to give you
confidence. What else is it going to do?
It's going to heal your childhood trauma, which for most
of us is the reason why we're stuck and why we're functioning
from some sort of way that isn'tbringing us peace.

(14:17):
So figure that shit out and thenyou'll figure out your life.
And that's all I help people with.
But as I digressed and I was talking about self help junkie
and all that kind of stuff. So 2018, you know, I had to make
some changes and so I went down this path of figuring out how to

(14:39):
start a gym, how to start a business.
I never had my own. Like I had a business when I was
21. I lost, I got in debt like 20-30
thousand because I was spending all the cash.
I was like, money's coming in. I was like, yeah, let's go out.
Fucking six months later, I do all the books with my brother in
I like fucking had to get a loanfrom my sister to pay the money,
pay the bank, you know, And so that was a failure.

(15:03):
But that was the journey there where I was like, OK, if I'm
going to open a gym, how do I and this and the guys please
listen, like if if you're thinking about this, you're at
this place in your life, how do you get more information?
You know, all I did is I went onYouTube and I was like, how to
start my own business, how to open a gym, you know, And so I
ended up making up a name for this gym.

(15:26):
It's called Red Fit Pump. If you go on Twitter, you'll
find it, it's still there. I opened the account back in
2018. It was called Red Fit Pump.
And so it was supposed to be like a group fitness gym.
And it's funny that I keep, I'vetalked about this before, but
something interesting seems to happen.
And I'd like you to pay attention as well to your life
and to the things that are happening in your life because

(15:47):
what's going to happen is the things that you speak will
manifest. That's why I be impeccable with
your word. Be careful what you speak
because it will materialise because you're programming
yourself with it. So one thing that I was planning
to do was open a gym. I've never actually got about to
doing that, but funny enough, watch, I bet you in the next 5
years I'll open a gym. So it was supposed to be a, a

(16:10):
fitness group fitness gym where you come as a group, like you
have class times or something and we all train together, you
know, And that was the model that I was going for.
And so I was doing some researchon YouTube and then I came about
a roadblock. What was the roadblock?

(16:32):
Well, as much as I was excited, man, I was going around all over
Sydney signing up to all these functional fitness training
centres or gyms, getting a free pass going and researching how
do they do their gym like workouts and how do they find
like all that stuff. And so basically I got to a
roadblock because I realised that if I was going to do this,

(16:55):
that I would have to lead, I would have to speak and I would
have to stand and present and facilitate in front of people.
And that was the moment where I realised I had a problem.
Can you guess what the problem was?
Some of you guessed, some of youdidn't.

(17:16):
Yes, it was the fear of public speaking.
It was the fear of judgement. It was the fear of being in
front of people and communicating.
And this was a fear for me for many, many years.
It was something I was just afraid of.
There's always been that awareness of people looking at
me and me blushing and going red.

(17:37):
And I would feel intimidated of very sensitive, very empathetic.
I would say I'm an empath. I feel people's energy.
And so any time that I would look, not look at myself, but
any time for example, we have like meetings at work, I
remember, you know, having a chance to, to say something and
putting my hand up. And then as I would start to
talk, I would start to blush, you know, and, and I would feel

(18:02):
very insecure. I'd feel very unsafe and I would
feel people looking at me and I would feel unsafe.
I would feel uncomfortable. Can you relate to that?
Have you ever experienced that before?
So I never had this level of confidence where I could just be
myself without being concerned about who was looking at me.
So that also went down to a place of self consciousness

(18:24):
because growing up as a child isa, is a young lad teenager, you
know, from 91011121314151617 very, very lanky and skinny.
And the names I would call I wascalled and how I was bullied and
this whole emphasis of, you know, me having to put on
weight, me being so skinny, me being so lanky became one of my

(18:47):
greatest adversaries because it was programming my mind to
understand and know that there'ssomething wrong with me.
You know, I'm constantly being judged.
I'm constantly being looked at. I'm not accepted.
You know, I'm not lovable, whichled to the problems in the
rejections of my relationships as well because I had a belief

(19:08):
of that I'm not lovable. So then I would overextend
myself and people please and give of myself so much because I
wanted to feel love. I wanted to be lovable.
I wanted someone to love me, youknow, praise God, thank you
Jesus, that my beautiful wife. If you're listening to this
after the 5th of July, then it'smy wife, not my fiance, which is

(19:35):
such a blessing. And thank God that now you know,
I never gave up on love. And I took a break and I took a
five year break to have a relationship with myself and to
grow and evolve and to become successful so that now I could
actually attract a healthy relationship and someone that

(19:55):
loves me for who I am and that I'm never ever, ever and and I'm
never ever too much for her. You know, no matter how much I
love her, no matter how much I give to her, she's able to love
me back. She's able to receive it.
And that's why I always say thatyou'll never be too much for the

(20:17):
right person. And if you haven't met that
right person, maybe you haven't met yourself yet.
I told you at the beginning of this podcast episode that this
episode was going to change yourlife.
And I know that through my storytelling and through what
I'm sharing with you and throughthis time that you're spending
with me, that this episode will change your life and maybe it'll

(20:41):
change more people. If you decide to share this
episode, maybe you're watching on Facebook or Instagram or
YouTube or TikTok, wherever you're listening, share this
with someone because this episode will change their life
too. And so this was a part of my
insecurities of being so self conscious about what I looked
like. And so then I had so much fee

(21:03):
built up in me that I couldn't even communicate in front of
people. So how am I supposed to open a
gym when I'm afraid to stand up in front of people and
facilitate and lead and communicate?
So that was the first block. So I decided that I was like,
well, I've got to invest in myself.
Well, am I willing to invest in myself?

(21:23):
Am I willing to pay for a programme that I can work
through that's going to help me to become a better version of
myself? So the first programme I
invested in was a programme called Unblock Your Abundance
Blocks. It was $1000 a thousand U.S.
dollars. The second one was to become a
fitness coach because I thought to myself before I moved to

(21:45):
Poland, I'm going to go to some fitness Academy in Sydney, in
Sydney, Australia, and I'm goingto start to become a personal
trainer or a fitness instructor.So I paid $5000 for that.
And then funny enough, I kept watching, you know, I didn't
know what I was doing, ladies and gentlemen, like stop
thinking that you have to be perfect and you have to know
sometimes you just need to make some investments because you

(22:07):
need to get into the movement and get into the flow of taking
action. You know, so I made those
investments because I was serious about change, you know,
and I know a lot of you as well.When you start taking action,
you do like 3 or 4 different things at the same time because
you're like, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do, I'm

(22:27):
excited, I'm going to do this, I'm going to invest in this.
I'm going to right. And sometimes we don't know
what's right for us. We're just trying to do
something and give yourself somecredit, if that's you for
trying, give yourself some credit for investing in yourself
and knowing that maybe these courses or programmes are, maybe
they're not going to be for you,but the fact that you're doing
something means it's going to lead you to where you need to

(22:47):
go, right. And so those were the first two.
And then I was watching YouTube one day and I came across a
Mindvalley ad so that I could, I'm not the, so that I could,
but I was watching this and it was about a speaker called Lisa
Nichols. And it was a programme about

(23:08):
helping you to own your voice and own your story.
And it sounded interesting to me.
And I was like, Oh, this is, this seems like something I need
to watch. So I signed up for the webinar
and it was a 40 minute webinar and I watched the 40 minutes.
And by about 20 minutes I knew that I wanted to do it, but I

(23:30):
was worried about the price, youknow, because I was like, Oh my
gosh, like I've just spent so much money on these other
programmes, will I be able to afford this?
And amazingly enough, I got to the end and I was like, Oh my
goodness, I can't afford it. And it was a non negotiable.
Like it was a no brainer. Like I was like, that's my

(23:52):
block. My block is the fear of public
speaking. It was communication.
It was being seen. I know it was so much more than
that, but I knew I had to do something about it.
I had to do something about it. If I kept allowing fear to
control me, then I would not be doing these podcasts.
I would not be a motivational speaker.
I would not have live events allover the world.

(24:13):
I would not be who I am today. So as soon as I started doing
that programme and why I'm sharing this all with you guys
is because I'm just trying to give you an understanding of
like how much did I invest in myself to get me here?
Like how many courses and programmes, like, like how much
do you really need to do, you know?

(24:36):
And so I'm just going to share with you.
So you've got an understanding and appreciation that, you know,
for some people it's different. For some people, they can keep
doing things deeper, I'm sure, I'm sure, of course there's,
there's, there's more things I could be doing for sure.
But again, it's up to you to getto this level of like, how much
is enough for me? When do I feel like I'm in
control of my life and when I can, you know, really take the

(24:57):
reins. So for me it was this 32 day
programme, It was 32 days, like one month speaking programme on
a Facebook group, you know, likeI did it and it was the
fundamental, it was the foundation really of my success.
As I told you earlier, self loveis the secret to success.

(25:18):
And this actually this programmetaught me how to love myself.
It brought me back home to myself and the importance of, of
practising having a good relationship with yourself, with
who you see in the mirror, you know, because the world had
defined me, you know, I wasn't myself.
I was what the world said I was.I believe what the world said I

(25:42):
was and looked like, you know. So their judgments became what I
was programmed with. And so mentally, I'd never felt
confident mentally, I never feltworthy mentally.
I felt unlovable mentally in my mind, I wasn't enough.
So it was up to me to reprogram my mind and change that belief
system and unlearn all that shit, you know, And that's why

(26:08):
they say, you know, you'll neverheal in an environment that made
you sick. Yeah, I told you this podcast is
going to change your life. You'll never heal in an
environment that made you sick. So why did I leave Australia?
Why did I fuck off everyone who was in my life?
Why did I leave everything that I ever knew?
Because I knew that I couldn't heal in an environment that made

(26:32):
me sick. So for those of you that are
afraid, I don't want to leave myfamily.
I don't want my friends to judgeme.
I don't want the, I don't want to like, lose all the people
I've known all my life will keepgoing the way you're going
because you're going to fucking lose yourself.
And I was done. You know, I had enough of losing

(26:55):
myself. I had enough of not having my
own back. I had enough of being in my own
way. I had enough of this bullshit on
my own. Worst enemy can fuck.
Fuck your own worst enemy bullshit out of the fucking
window. I'm my own worst enemy.
What a load of shit. You know, like these are the
stupid things we tell each otherand we tell ourselves.

(27:18):
And then we get into this spiralof complaining about how life is
just not working out for us, youknow, when really there's just a
few adjustments that need to be made and all of a sudden you're
on your way again. And I know that it can feel like
a long shot. You're in a really tough place
right now possibly. But like I said, it's just some

(27:41):
fine tuning, you know, it's justa few adjustments and all of a
sudden you're living a better life.
And then your life starts getting better and better and
better and better, you know, so my environment is what made me
sick. So I decided to change my

(28:01):
environment. And when I changed my
environment, I changed my life. And so that took me on a journey
of surrounding myself with new people, like minded people that
were into personal development, that were into becoming a better
version of themselves, that wereinto growing in self confidence

(28:24):
and self love. And then I went to another, you
know, I was invited from being in that programme.
One of the ambassadors said, heyLuke, would you like to come and
speak in Los Angeles in March orApril, 20/20/2019?
So I went, I came back to Australia after that.
Then I went back to Chicago for three months.
Then I signed up, actually before I signed up to Lisa

(28:47):
Nichols, I went to her two day or three day event in San Diego.
And then from the stage I signedup to her Speakers Mastermind
programme, which was a 3 1/2 dayevent with 20 people where I
spent those days with Lisa herself.
And she taught us how to speak, inspire, stand up in front of

(29:11):
people and personally critiqued our work.
You know, that was transformational, you know, So
I, I made another investment in myself with that.
And then when I came back, I went to China.
I lived in China for 3 1/2 years.
I lived in the Shaolin Temple learning Kung Fu and I learned a

(29:32):
lot about personal development, spirituality, meditation, self
awareness, how your body is. You are your own best doctor.
Your body heals itself. I learned about energy.
So that was a big investment in myself living in China.
And then when I came back, but I'm just talking about like, you
know, what are the things that Idid to become better, you know?

(29:54):
And so that was pretty much, yeah, 2020, I came back from
China. Then I signed up to Tony Robbins
and Dean Graziosi, knowledge broker blueprint.
That was $5000. I did their programme.
I did about 60% of it. And then I started my own
coaching programme a year later,which is still running now.

(30:15):
SPMM. Shout out to all the SPMM
listeners, old alumni, clients that have done the programme.
Shout out to everyone who's listening that's in the
programme right now. Keep going, you're amazing.
I'm so proud of you. But after that, the only things
then I invested in once I started coaching was a business

(30:36):
coach. And I haven't stopped investing
in that. So I still have, I still have
someone who I invest in who helps me to grow my business and
teaches me new strategies and techniques and, and systems and
processes so that I can scale mybusiness and so that I can
employ more people and I can help more people, you know, So I

(30:57):
have a team now, which is prettyamazing.
But just to give you an overview, that was the overview
of like, OK, what did I do? Speak and inspire Knowledge
broker Blueprint. I travelled to America, I lived
in Chicago, went to Speakers Mastermind with Lisa Nichols,
went to China, and then I came back and then I started my

(31:18):
coaching programme because I started my own business and then
here I am. So, you know, I'm not sitting
around here continuously doing programmes like, you know, I did
a fair share of, of work to be able to help me, you know, to

(31:43):
grow confidence. And then realising that, wow, I
have a lot to give. You know, I have a story, I have
a voice, I have life experience,I have a lot of wisdom.
I have a lot of relationship experiences, you know, personal
relationship experiences, a lot that did not work out the way
that I thought they would. You know, they say rejection is

(32:09):
God's protection. Rejection is God's redirection.
And if I had known that, wow, itwould, I would have felt so much
better. But no, I had to go through
those experiences to feel the pain.
And that pain became my power and is the power and the passion

(32:32):
that I still have today because of the life that I wasn't living
for so many years. And the the pain of rejection,
the pain of not feeling good enough, the, the pain of not
feeling seen and heard and validated and understood and
loved and appreciated the pain. And that is the pain and the

(32:55):
passion that I exude when I speak.
And I was actually interested and wondering, you know, I
wonder if when I'm in a healthy relationship or I wonder if
things are going to change now that I'm with the love of my
life, my beautiful, as I said, whenever you depend fiance,

(33:15):
wife, because I was like, I'm soI'm so peaceful, you know, I'm,
I'm so grounded, you know, I, I love her so much and I'm so
grateful to God for bringing herto me, you know, and I'm so glad
that I never gave up on love, you know, because it really is

(33:36):
a, it's a, you know, it's the hero's story, you know, where
you feel like they're down and out, nothing's going their way.
They keep getting rejected. It keeps going opposite way.
It's not working out, you know, and then you go on this journey
of solitude and self exploration.
And I remember before I met my fiance, I went through a moment

(33:59):
there where I went on dating apps.
And you know, I just, I had thisexperience and I was just like,
come on, man. I was like, when the fuck am I
going to meet this person? You know, I'm 39.
I was like, I remember having this conversation with myself
and, and I was just like, this is bullshit.
Like how can I have all these fucking followers on social

(34:22):
media? Like all these people follow me
and I still haven't met that person.
Like bullshit. This is not right.
Like I was going through the moment there and I became quite
disappointed in myself, you know, because I was like, why is
this happening to me, you know? And little did I know that I was
literally 2 months away from meeting her, you know?

(34:49):
And even when I met her, I didn't know that I'd met her,
you know? And I mean, I knew there was
something there, but like, you know, I wasn't like jumping over
the bridge straight away and going fuck, you know what I
mean? So, but the point I'm trying to
make is that now that I'm, you know, happily married in this

(35:14):
relationship. And yeah, I, I thought that my
point I'm trying to make is thatI thought that like, I would
calm down on the podcast, you know, like Luke would be like,
oh, you know, you don't have to scream anymore.
Like you're, you're living your dreams, like you're in this
relationship and all this kind of stuff.
You're, you know, but actually, Nah, man, like this is me, you

(35:37):
know, I love screaming, you know, I love being passionate.
I, I love to speak the way I do.It's just in my nature.
It's who I am, you know, and, and, and it's something that's
just something that I really AM excited about.
You know, when I'm in my flow state and you know, God's in

(35:58):
control, like the Holy Spirit's working through me.
You know, I ain't sitting aroundgoing, oh, you know, better be
better, be quiet. Don't be too loud.
You don't know who's listening. Maybe one of your family members
is watching or some, some story.There's no story, guys, You
know, it's just the Spirit and you, because I don't sit here

(36:21):
and plan all this stuff, you know what I'm going to talk
about, it just flows. I trust myself, you know, I
trust that when I turn the mic on, turn the camera on, press
record, let's go, the right message is going to flow.
So ladies and gentlemen, once again, thank you for your time.

to escape the rat race, as we call it, the 9:00 to 5:00, the

(37:06):
rat race. I used to be driving and I used
to watch everybody sitting in their cars listening to the
radio and like driving 2 hours to work and two hours back.
Like, man, that's four hours of,you know, 4 hours of time every
day. You know, and if you're not
listening to some sort of motivation or podcast or
inspiration or something like that, then you're wasting so

(37:27):
much time. And that's a lot of the
investment I also made in myselfwhen I was a driver.
I was a chauffeur driver. I used to drive a van and pick
up airline pilots. But I used to also, when I was
on the road, listen to podcasts and inspirational videos by Les
Brown. And I would motivate myself
everyday, you know, So I use that time very wisely, which has

(37:50):
also helped me to become who I am, you know.

one hour or two hours every morning to work and back, please
do yourself a huge favour. Make sure you're listening to a
podcast or something inspirational because you can
