Welcome to wax on wax off podcast for a teenager against
wisdom and insight from pioneersand innovators that have come
before search for how to win in every facet of life and change
the world. I'm your host Solomon golomb.
Let's get into today's episode. So before we get into today's
episode, I guess I kind of want to talk about what this episode
(00:28):
is, is this episode is called book club.
Book club is pretty much me and you guys going over a book, I'm
going to give you my thoughts. I'm going to give you my ideas.
I'm going to give you what I thought about the book and some
things that stuck out to me and never one.
This is for me because I want totry and read it.
(00:50):
Book a month. That's my goal.
I struggle with procrastination and this is going to help me.
But number two I hope it helps you because you're like okay I
can do this with someone. I have an accountability
partner. Maybe I'm not like physically in
the room with you, but I'm stillhere for you.
If you want to talk to me and DMme about like, Oh, I thought
this about the book or I have this question.
(01:11):
Or what did you think about this?
I'm very happy to answer any andall questions.
You guys have obviously in Person.
So I'm going to get to as many as I can and then let me think
here. Oh yes.
This episode did take a really long time for me to to make just
(01:34):
with reading the book itself, then taking all the notes and
then preparing that in a way where I can make good content
for you guys. So if you really could share
this episode with people around you, I think it could be helpful
if you want to share the podcastwith people.
That would be great. It would mean a lot to me
because I love doing this and I want as many people to
experience What I am creating asmuch as possible and what we are
(01:59):
creating as like as a people. Okay?
So for this week, we're going over The power to change by
Craig groeschel. I started this book because I
used to listen to Craig groeschel or don't used to.
I still do listen to Craig Rochelle's leadership podcast
and he said, hey, I'm coming outwith a book and that day I went
(02:21):
to Target and at Target that book was there.
And I was like, well, I have to get this now.
So I did and I started reading it.
And at that time, I was really struggling with goal setting
with purpose, with knowing what to do in my life.
And I wasn't having a lot of Grace.
Myself and where I was at. So this book has helped me a lot
(02:41):
in to help me grow and learn. And I love this book.
It's one of my favorite books I've ever read.
So the book starts off in part one that it's titled who not do
and that's that's a big that just that like tiny little
sentence right there is a big struggle for me because I'm
(03:02):
always A do-over who I just will.
I am what I do, I am what I've accomplished and that's a big
struggle for me. And in the first part of the
book, they talk about like to experience to change that last
you have to focus on who not. Do you do what you do because of
(03:23):
what you think of you? I like that one because I
remember it. It's because it Rhymes.
We are a reflection of what we think of ourselves.
If you try to change your behavior without changing your
identity. If you're pulling up weeds
without pulling out the roots and it's talking about this,
like, behavior modification versus like, what do you
(03:44):
identify like, who are you? And that was huge.
They in the, in the first part they say ask yourself who you
want to be what habits you want to have, then try and figure out
who that person is and B them inyour own way.
That's something that I've been using a lot because I'm the Kind
of person who will really try and be somebody else.
(04:10):
So, this has helped me being like, okay, well, who do I want
to be and then trying to be thatperson.
But also being myself, if that makes sense.
In part 2, it starts talking about training, not trying, and
it's about viewing what habits you're going to form.
(04:34):
And instead of like trying to dothem or I really tried today, I
really, I really tried this week.
It's about training and viewing every day as I'm showing up.
It's like I heard Alex or mozzietalk about.
He was talking about Business and the entrepreneurial world
(04:55):
and he said, when you're an entrepreneur, you never win the
game, you just continue to play the game.
And that's what being a successful person is as its
training every single day, that's what being an athlete.
This is training every single day, and not training for once.
I hit this, then I'm done. It's I'm training until I until
(05:18):
I die. I'm training until this life.
I've put on the been put on the earth to live is over and and
that's the most fulfilling thingI would say in part to.
They also talked about how you have to Define your win.
So defining your win is how you begin.
You can't do what you don't Define which I agree with
(05:40):
completely winners. Don't try, they train.
And if you look at like Kobe in the mob mentality, that is
exactly what he did. He was training all the time
even though he was the greatest.Just sorry.
LeBron discipline is choosing? What you must want most over
what you want. Now, that's very hard for me
(06:03):
because I and the kind of personwho will I'll just take the,
like, the Quick Fix versus versus the one that's like worth
it longer. And I'm not good with patients,
and that was a rough one for me,but I've been working on it.
Desire alone doesn't get you what you want, but discipline
(06:27):
does. And I think that's huge, that's
very helpful for a lot of people, because a lot of people
want to change, they want to change their bad habits, they
want to change, but they can't. And because they don't actually
want to use the discipline to actually change their habits.
They just want something really bad and wanting you something
(06:49):
really bad. Is just gonna Going to leave you
still sitting on the couch or whatever.
Like, for me, I've my desires. All I want to read really bad.
So I had to figure out a way that I can read, but also
incorporate it was something that I love which would be
podcasting because my books werenot self-help.
(07:11):
They were shelf help and now I'mtrying to make them more
self-help. Something that they said that
was really helpful for me was identified, the habits you want
to to start and stop to achieve your goals and it's all about
just defining your win. What do you want to do?
What do you have to do to get there?
(07:32):
But it's also not focusing on doit's focusing on who, which is
kind of confusing for a book about habits acknowledge that
you're eternally and training and believe you are successful.
When you train today, it's really like a mentality over
reality thing, or your mentalityis your reality.
(07:56):
And I think that's huge for everyone part 3.
They talk about habits not hope.And this is what I liked more
because I am less of a Like lessof a, this is who I am.
And I'm more of like, let's justget this done and set goals and
achieve some part. 3 of talks about your choices.
(08:19):
Create the course, and Contours of your life, your decisions,
determine your destiny. Never underestimate how God can
start something big through one small habit.
Something that I started readingAtomic habits and I would say
this book is very similar in themethod that it teaches so far
based on where I am at in atomichabits but it's more of a faith
(08:42):
backed book, but it's not super like bible-thumper e it or not
even at all. I would say even if you don't
believe in God, I think this book is very helpful and would
be very useful to you. The Small Things, no one sees
(09:04):
can lead to the big things, everyone, or the big results,
everyone wants. And that is like Huge.
And they talk about in the book,they talk about a statistic
where it was like it's kind of like a graph and it goes like
this. If you're not watching the
video, I'm sorry but it kind of goes straight and then it like
(09:27):
starts to curve up just a littlebit.
That's you, doing the small habits and then over time,
you're going to hit a point where it just starts to go
straight up because it's slowly inclining over a long time.
And we've talked about on the podcast before, but ninety
percent of success is showing upand doing the thing versus just
(09:48):
hoping for your lucky break. Like I think about Olivia
Rodrigo, right? She was writing songs in her
bedroom, she was working, really, really hard writing a
song a day. Posting videos that what very
few people were seeing up until she not necessarily got lucky.
(10:11):
But it was that, that point where her her her consistency
over time turned into a reward, where was pretty much going
straight up? And that's why she is excited so
successful as she has. And if you look at anyone else,
like anyone else, successful? Sure it may look like it was oh,
they had their they're like Spurt of luck.
They got lucky. But that's not really what it
(10:34):
is. There is um it's that moment
where you you hit that point where you have been consistent
for so long that it's going to start working out for you and
the way that you want it too. Oh, yes, they talk about this
Loop for habits. It's called the if you engage in
(10:56):
the same Loop Q, then craving then response then, reward
enough times the process will become automatic and there are
five cues that is the first partQ, craving response reward.
There are 5 Qs. The first Q is placed second Q
is time. Third Q is mood for that.
(11:18):
Q is moments. Fifth Q is people and what they
talk about. What Craig talks about in the
book is he says, you need to understand what those cues are.
And then if there are queues that are going to hurt your
habits, that you are trying to do, you need to avoid those.
And most of the time, it's not just one Q, it's more than one
(11:41):
Q. So if you're really sad and
you're in your bedroom, you might be more likely to do X.
If you Are super hungry and you're driving.
And you pass a Wendy's and you're trying to eat cleaner.
Going to Wendy's, you're going to be more prone to go to
Wendy's and that's not going to help your habit setting.
(12:04):
Another thing that he talked about, as you are more likely to
do your habit, if you don't hatedoing your habit.
So I hated reading because therewas a lot of Shame around it,
for me. And I didn't want to read
because every I wouldn't read, and then I would feel bad.
So that's why I'm doing this. Is I have to do it because I'm
creating an episode of month about a book.
(12:26):
I'm reading for not even, just for me, but I'm reading for for
you guys, and to create this living, the right life is almost
impossible. If you have the wrong friends,
this was something that's huge is.
Show me your friends and I'll show you your future.
We've talked about on the podcast work before.
(12:47):
Your five closest friends are most likely, who are you, who
you were going to turn out to be.
And you have to choose your inner circle with like deep deep
deep thought, and you need to have a lot of consideration when
you pick the people that are going to be around you not to
say be too picky because I have been too picky before and it
(13:11):
does not work out. Well you have to pick, you have
to be Able to look over some people's flaws but also it can't
be. I would say over if over 40% of
you. Like you, I don't know if they
you disagree with them like 50%.Then I would say probably
they're not an inner circle person.
They're more of an Outer Circle or mid Circle.
(13:33):
That's how I view relationships with these three circles.
Inner Circle. Is the people that you can trust
and you pretty much agree want with on most things, but they
also challenge you Like for me it's Brandon who has been on the
podcast, it's Blake who has beenon the podcast.
It's my dad who's also been on the podcast.
(13:54):
It's Uncle. Adam who has been on the
podcast? I trust those people.
I talked to them and I they helped me grow and then I have
like my middle circle. People are people who I'm
friends with, but I do not go tothem for necessarily for advice
or for For guidance, I go to my inner circle people and then the
(14:18):
Outer Circle. People are the people who I'm
pouring into. But the middle the middle circle
is, I think, is the most important because you, you pick
the middle circle, people to pour into and you are, ther
middle circle, if that makes sense.
Disasters are rarely the result of an isolated decision in part
3, part three or four, no part three and part, three, they talk
(14:41):
about that. And how when you see like, oh,
Jimmy has an eating disorder. It's not like, oh, one day, he
just decided, like, I'm gonna binge on food.
No, it starts with. There's maybe some shame around
it or maybe he, it was a lot of things.
(15:01):
Happening at once, for a extended period of time talking
again about definition, you cannot defeat what you cannot
Define. Why was this temptation
tomorrow? If you have the power to
eliminate it today, I think it'sa Benjamin Franklin, quote do
today. What you cannot do tomorrow or
do today, what you are going to like push over to tomorrow or
(15:24):
something like that and I think that's huge.
It's like if you have something that your Like, oh, I could do
it tomorrow. Don't do it tomorrow.
Do it today. Don't wait to do something that
you can do today because number one tomorrow you is going to
thank you tomorrow. You is going to be really
(15:44):
grateful for that and then we get into part for which is
sewing, Not reaping. Successful.
People do consistently. What other people do
occasionally. The life you're living right
now, is shaping the life, you will live tomorrow.
Your goal is not Perfection, itsprogress.
(16:06):
That's kind of like touching on the training, not trying, if you
plant good habits, you'll get good outcomes.
If you plant bad habits, don't be deceived and expect good
outcomes. A small difference, each day
adds up in multiplies over time,which we talked about your hard
work, your discipline, your sacrifices and your faithfulness
are never wasted. Your efforts are being stored up
(16:29):
and its really looking at like, consistency isn't just like, oh
I'm consistent, I'm staying in astraight line, it is actually,
I'm making a one percent Improvement and over time that's
going to be a straight up and you're going to grow a lot, you
will reap a hard to harvest if you don't give up.
And then that was part 4. Part 5 is talking about God's
(16:51):
power, not willpower. We stay stuck because we were
well we stay stuck because we rely on Willpower.
The same power that got Jesus, out of the Grave resurrected
from Death to life is available to you, God loves us in, spite
of us, not because of us, he loves us because of who he is.
(17:13):
And if you don't believe in God,that's okay.
This goes like this works. Still all of these principles
still work without having to believe in God because you could
be like I'm doing it for the people around me.
I'm doing it. I'm doing it because I want to
be the best version of myself that I can be for the people
(17:35):
around me. And there are there you don't
have to like because you don't believe in God.
You don't have to Discount things that people who believe
in God say. And I don't think you that.
I don't think people are doing that.
I mean, there are some people that do that but I think for the
most part that's not a thing that's happening.
(17:56):
But I just want to say that in case you are in that Place in
your life. And then another part of part 5
part 5 is really just talking about.
Like when you get to the end of your rope as Solomon or as human
you, that's when you meet God's power and that's when you can
(18:18):
grow even farther. And I think that's why Craig
wrote. This book is because Atomic
habits talks about. Just the human, right?
And you can only get so far on the human rope.
And then once you get to the endof that rope, then there's God's
rope. And if you choose that you are
going to take God's rope and grow even further in that
(18:41):
spiritual sense, then you can grow a lot more.
And then the last point that I really loved was when you're
winning, you're winning and whenyou're losing your learning and
I think that's huge, that's life-changing, and that is
extremely important. Oughtn't.
(19:01):
Because when you lose or when you're losing your not just
losing your learning and then you use that to win more and
when you're winning, you're winning.
And that's why one of the reasons why I created this
podcast was to talk to people who are winning.
(19:24):
If you would look on the out side of their life, but then
you're going to see that. Oh, they're training their
learning, they're losing and they're learning from that loss.
And their, I want to I wanted tounderstand and I still want to
understand what makes people successful.
And I think so far in what I've done is I have Learned a lot
(19:48):
from a lot of people and I hope that you have learned a lot.
Yeah. So I think I'm gonna call it
right here. Thank you.
For listening means a lot. I love you guys.
And Yeah, make sure to share with your friends, any questions
(20:10):
comments or concerns? You can DM the to me on
Instagram at wax on wax off podcast.
Thank you for being a part of the first book club.
I hope it was good and if it wasn't it was

So for this week, we're going over The power to change by
Craig groeschel. I started this book because I
used to listen to Craig groeschel or don't used to.

There are 5 Qs. The first Q is placed second Q
is time. Third Q is mood for that.
(11:18):
Q is moments. Fifth Q is people and what they
talk about. What Craig talks about in the
book is he says, you need to understand what those cues are.
And then if there are queues that are going to hurt your
habits, that you are trying to do, you need to avoid those.
And most of the time, it's not just one Q, it's more than one
(11:41):
Q. So if you're really sad and
you're in your bedroom, you might be more likely to do X.
If you Are super hungry and you're driving.
And you pass a Wendy's and you're trying to eat cleaner.
Going to Wendy's, you're going to be more prone to go to
Wendy's and that's not going to help your habit setting.
(12:04):
Another thing that he talked about, as you are more likely to
do your habit, if you don't hatedoing your habit.
So I hated reading because therewas a lot of Shame around it,
for me. And I didn't want to read
because every I wouldn't read, and then I would feel bad.
So that's why I'm doing this. Is I have to do it because I'm
creating an episode of month about a book.
(12:26):
I'm reading for not even, just for me, but I'm reading for for
you guys, and to create this living, the right life is almost
impossible. If you have the wrong friends,
this was something that's huge is.
Show me your friends and I'll show you your future.
We've talked about on the podcast work before.
(12:47):
Your five closest friends are most likely, who are you, who
you were going to turn out to be.
And you have to choose your inner circle with like deep deep
deep thought, and you need to have a lot of consideration when
you pick the people that are going to be around you not to
say be too picky because I have been too picky before and it
(13:11):
does not work out. Well you have to pick, you have
to be Able to look over some people's flaws but also it can't
be. I would say over if over 40% of
you. Like you, I don't know if they
you disagree with them like 50%.Then I would say probably
they're not an inner circle person.
They're more of an Outer Circle or mid Circle.
(13:33):
That's how I view relationships with these three circles.
Inner Circle. Is the people that you can trust
and you pretty much agree want with on most things, but they
also challenge you Like for me it's Brandon who has been on the
podcast, it's Blake who has beenon the podcast.
It's my dad who's also been on the podcast.
(13:54):
It's Uncle. Adam who has been on the
podcast? I trust those people.
I talked to them and I they helped me grow and then I have
like my middle circle. People are people who I'm
friends with, but I do not go tothem for necessarily for advice
or for For guidance, I go to my inner circle people and then the
(14:18):
Outer Circle. People are the people who I'm
pouring into. But the middle the middle circle
is, I think, is the most important because you, you pick
the middle circle, people to pour into and you are, ther
middle circle, if that makes sense.
Disasters are rarely the result of an isolated decision in part
3, part three or four, no part three and part, three, they talk
(14:41):
about that. And how when you see like, oh,
Jimmy has an eating disorder. It's not like, oh, one day, he
just decided, like, I'm gonna binge on food.
No, it starts with. There's maybe some shame around
it or maybe he, it was a lot of things.
(15:01):
Happening at once, for a extended period of time talking
again about definition, you cannot defeat what you cannot
Define. Why was this temptation
tomorrow? If you have the power to
eliminate it today, I think it'sa Benjamin Franklin, quote do
today. What you cannot do tomorrow or
do today, what you are going to like push over to tomorrow or
(15:24):
something like that and I think that's huge.
It's like if you have something that your Like, oh, I could do
it tomorrow. Don't do it tomorrow.
Do it today. Don't wait to do something that
you can do today because number one tomorrow you is going to
thank you tomorrow. You is going to be really
(15:44):
grateful for that and then we get into part for which is
sewing, Not reaping. Successful.
People do consistently. What other people do
occasionally. The life you're living right
now, is shaping the life, you will live tomorrow.
Your goal is not Perfection, itsprogress.
(16:06):
That's kind of like touching on the training, not trying, if you
plant good habits, you'll get good outcomes.
If you plant bad habits, don't be deceived and expect good
outcomes. A small difference, each day
adds up in multiplies over time,which we talked about your hard
work, your discipline, your sacrifices and your faithfulness
are never wasted. Your efforts are being stored up
(16:29):
and its really looking at like, consistency isn't just like, oh
I'm consistent, I'm staying in astraight line, it is actually,
I'm making a one percent Improvement and over time that's
going to be a straight up and you're going to grow a lot, you
will reap a hard to harvest if you don't give up.
And then that was part 4. Part 5 is talking about God's
(16:51):
power, not willpower. We stay stuck because we were
well we stay stuck because we rely on Willpower.
The same power that got Jesus, out of the Grave resurrected
from Death to life is available to you, God loves us in, spite
of us, not because of us, he loves us because of who he is.
(17:13):
And if you don't believe in God,that's okay.
This goes like this works. Still all of these principles
still work without having to believe in God because you could
be like I'm doing it for the people around me.
I'm doing it. I'm doing it because I want to
be the best version of myself that I can be for the people
(17:35):
around me. And there are there you don't
have to like because you don't believe in God.
You don't have to Discount things that people who believe
in God say. And I don't think you that.
I don't think people are doing that.
I mean, there are some people that do that but I think for the
most part that's not a thing that's happening.
(17:56):
But I just want to say that in case you are in that Place in
your life. And then another part of part 5
part 5 is really just talking about.
Like when you get to the end of your rope as Solomon or as human
you, that's when you meet God's power and that's when you can
(18:18):
grow even farther. And I think that's why Craig
wrote. This book is because Atomic
habits talks about. Just the human, right?
And you can only get so far on the human rope.
And then once you get to the endof that rope, then there's God's
rope. And if you choose that you are
going to take God's rope and grow even further in that
(18:41):
spiritual sense, then you can grow a lot more.
And then the last point that I really loved was when you're
winning, you're winning and whenyou're losing your learning and
I think that's huge, that's life-changing, and that is
extremely important. Oughtn't.
(19:01):
Because when you lose or when you're losing your not just
losing your learning and then you use that to win more and
when you're winning, you're winning.
And that's why one of the reasons why I created this
podcast was to talk to people who are winning.
(19:24):
If you would look on the out side of their life, but then
you're going to see that. Oh, they're training their
learning, they're losing and they're learning from that loss.
And their, I want to I wanted tounderstand and I still want to
understand what makes people successful.
And I think so far in what I've done is I have Learned a lot
(19:48):
from a lot of people and I hope that you have learned a lot.
Yeah. So I think I'm gonna call it
right here. Thank you.
For listening means a lot. I love you guys.
And Yeah, make sure to share with your friends, any questions
(20:10):
comments or concerns? You can DM the to me on
Instagram at wax on wax off podcast.
Thank you for being a part of the first book club.
I hope it was good and if it wasn't it was
