Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Are you ready to level up?

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Do you wish to live a life of options and
not obligations? You've gone to the right place. Thank you
for stopping on by to hear knowledge nuggets from Coach
Fergie and his top tier guest to help you lean
into your ultimate human potential. Now let's level up with
Coach Fergie.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Hey, Russy Squad, Welcome back to another powerful edition of
Levelope Conversations with Coach Fergie with time to Shine Today Coaching.
I'm your host, Scott Ferguson, blessed to be your gap
coach specialize in performance mental conditioning, working with business leaders, entrepreneurs, entertainers, athletes,
c suite and students to help them bridge their success
gap to live a life of options and not obligations.
On this platform, we are stoked to bring you high

(00:41):
performers are not just chasing and attaining success, but we're
defining it through providing above and beyond service. And our
really quick coaching nugget today is We're going to kind
of get real for a minute. Every day we are
faced with a choice, do we live for convenience or
do we live for legacy? Convenience is that little voice says,
take the shortcut, it's easier, skip the practice, no one

(01:03):
will notice. But what's cheap It doesn't matter. But here's
the truth. Convenience only feels good in the moment. Legacy
is built when you choose the harder right over the
easier wrong. Legacy says, show up even when you don't
feel like it. Make the call, even when you're tired.
Fuel your body, your relationships, your business with what will last,
not what's quick. Convenience fades, Legacy compounds. Legacy is what

(01:26):
your kids inherit, what your team remembers, what your community
feels long after you're gone. So today's squad check yourself.
Are you your actions feeding convenience or are they planning
seeds for legacy? Because in the end, convenience disappears the
second it's used. Legacy is undefeated. And talk about legacy
and also taking maybe the harder road to really get

(01:48):
the word out. And I'm so blessed to have my
good friend Steven On because I want you to again
lean in, because diving into a story that's not just
about business, is about building a better world. A legacy,
my guess, is a lifelong Fluoridian along with his wife
and teammate Alana, decided in twenty eighteen to take a
stand for health, sustainability, and community. Together they launch One

(02:09):
World Zero Waste, a movement that provides when you do
what's good for the planet, it's good for people too,
from connecting with local farmers and producers to bringing you
food and goods they personally trust and use. Stephen and
Alana are in a mission to reshape how we think
about what we buy, what we eat, and how we live.
This isn't some abstract ego thing something about convenience you know,

(02:30):
able to easily get it, which he's making it easy
to get. This is a real, practical and local impact
that supports families, businesses, and future generation. So, whether you
care about your health, your kid's future, or just a
simple idea that your dollar can do more good than harm,
Steve's here to show us how. So let's level up.
My good friend Stephen here he is the co founder

(02:51):
his beautiful, awesome wife Alana from One World Zero Waste.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Thanking for coming on, brother, Yeah man, thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Absolutely so I want to hear the story like it
was your honeymoon right in India. How did that conversation
come up. I mean, obviously the seas were planning planned before,
but that's when you kind of told me first time
I ever met you, which you're a cava buddy of mine.
We enjoy a cova together here and there. Right, that's right,
But like, how did it? How did it happen?

Speaker 3 (03:16):
When me and my wife got together, Even before we
got married, we were both serious into like, uh, starting
our own business together, building a life like that where
we can sustain ourselves, work for ourselves. We were really
into food. We both work in restaurants. My wife is
like a trained culinary institute chef wow, so she's way

(03:40):
more serious about it than me. But I have the
skills as well and the knowledge about like the restaurant
and the food industry, and so in thinking about what
we wanted to do, the idea of like starting our
own business, and then after we got married, we were
in India and realized, like the problems with with waste

(04:02):
and how in America it doesn't really shine too bright
here because we bring our garbage to the road. It's
neatly wrapped up and taken away. Sure, I mean you
drive down you know, the turnpike, and you got to
turn your your car thing on so you can't smell
the landfill. But you know, but in India, the thing is,
they don't have the sort of municipalities that we have

(04:24):
here in third world country, so the trash was everywhere.
Even like we were we spent two weeks like pretty
high up in the Himalayan Mountains, where is absolutely gorgeous, pristine,
but still if you look over the side of the mountain,
there's like garbage on the in the you know, in
on the ground and in other places they would collect
the garbage up and just like burn it on the

(04:45):
side of the road. So this is just like kind
of like shone a light on on the problem that
is the garbage, the waste that we create on this
planet in general. And like we are a big part
of the problem because we we think our stuff just
gets like neatly taken care of, but it's a real
messy business and after it's gone, you don't know what

(05:07):
happens to it, right, And so that's why we kind
of got with the zero waste initiative, and yeah, started
from there. We came back home, we were trying to
like be mindful about the waste. We were creating going
to the normal grocery stores, like you don't have much
of an option. Ninety percent of the grocery store package stuff, right,

(05:28):
So we realized there was a need and so we
opened a small store where people could come in refill
their containers. You can buy things without plastic packaging. You
can just like buy things by the weight. And since
we were a real small space, we focused on organic
and like the healthiest stuff. Everything that me and my
wife and now a daughter, what we want to feed

(05:50):
and ourselves, right, and so everything that we use is
in our stuf.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Love that you use what you you know, So you
took like two of my questions that I had kind
of coming up with it, which is great with regards
to you. Saw what happened. It really sparked it in India
to say, listen, how can we make our little part
of the world better? Right? And so then I'll go
to ask you this, what is one small zero waste

(06:14):
tack that you use every day that people might not
know about.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Oh, hey, bring my own water bottle.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
You do?

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yeah, you know, I don't leave the house, that's right,
I bring my own glass lava bar.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Man, it makes everything better and it gives you, uh,
the it just gives you a lot more freedom sure
to drink what you want to drink too. You know,
it's really important for me to drink like clean water.
I like to put salt in my water. I like
to make some coconut water into it, and so like, yeah,
it's important to stay hydrated. And also it's great to

(06:50):
drink out of things that aren't plastic because it's just
way better for our health because microplastics break down and
they infiltrate our bodies and.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
In our land and like everything else.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Absolutely when you open the doors.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
You know, the people who are new to eco sustainable,
you know, zero waste thinking, right, like what are the
most common mindset barriers you see? Like with the with
the newbies, the new people kind of come in and
how do you kind of work as you're so personal,
Like everybody loves you, dude, Everyone's like, oh, there's Steve
and yo, so every it's personal. So there's people are
gonna listen to you, but how do you begin to

(07:22):
shift those in a conversation like they get them moving
towards you know, your idea, the legacy that you're you're
putting out.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
There I'd say the most common thing people say is
it's too expensive, understood. And my response to that is,
you choose where you're gonna spend your money, because you
can spend your money on your health now and making
good choices for yourself, or you're going to be forced
to spend your money later and when you're sick, and
then you're going to feel mad.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
And yeah, just dude. I did like a little formula
that kind of scared me two days ago where yeah,
I said, let's say I will live to ninety seven, right,
so that's forty three years, right, that's only two thousand
and eleven weekends. That's it, dude. So I want to
if I'm going to live out those twenty eleven weekends,
you know, with family, friends and stuff like that, I

(08:11):
got to put the right stuff, you know, in my body.
It's going to work for you. I don't touch anything
that says enriched or you know, because it just it
floed your body. I went to Italy one time and
I had crackers on me and they say, do you
have anything to declare? I'm like, no, you know those
orange crackers with peanut but in the middle, and they
went through my bag like, what's this, Like, we don't

(08:32):
allow that in our country processed right in Italy the
pasta and bread every single day and they're all in
great shape. But and then there's not fact you know,
sorry if that offend somebody, they're not over weight OBEs. Right,
So that's another thing, like you either pay a little
bit more now or pay a lot later.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Right, absolutely love that.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah, you know, so in your store, I out to
wonder and I'm like, we've been trying to get me
out there to get behind the scenes of the store,
which I will get out there soon, I promised, Steven.
But you know, how do you stack the goods you
trust and use in your own lives? How do you
vet a product before it even hits your shelves.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
So we have a lot of companies that we've done
business with for years and uh uh in a lot
of cases, uh there, their standard is so high that
it is trustworthy. And also everything that we buy is
very transparent, like it can tell you about the origin

(09:33):
of places, all of the certifications that they have and
h then as it comes closer to home as well, Uh,
there are farms that are in our own neighborhoods that
we get to go visit and uh, yeah, the that's
basically how we do it. We take you know, good

(09:53):
good sourcing. Yeah, it's important to know exactly what you're buying, yeah,
and to know what you're putting in your body. And
that's why we also are transparent about that with any
customers who's interested in learning. We have it out there.
But also we can do deeper dives onto things, into
specific things. I do it all the time when someone

(10:13):
wants to know about a specific product that can yeah,
I know that it's going to be good, but I
can go and look up the exact little things that
you want to know about it, right.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
And I kind of vetted a couple of your vendors,
which I said, don't say anything to Stephen until this interview,
and they said, you are just fantastic with you know
what I'm saying. I'd vetted through. They actually answered the phone,
called me back and everything. We did it. So that's
amazing that you're putting together those relationships. And again, you know,
it's a long road ahead of us to get people,

(10:42):
you know, away from things that are going to inflame
our body, you know, the waste that's putting out there.
But you know with my even my coaching clients, Steven,
it's like inch by inches, a cinch right by the yard.
It's hard. Can't change everything right away, you know, but
you're doing that incremental steps, so you know, as the
mission kind of scales, you know, how do you the
same level authenticity quality, you know, staying true to the roots.

(11:05):
You know, because you see some places they were on
a very high value, very good food. I remember it
just a taste of you of a McDonald's when I
was a kid, versus now you know how it's fell off, Like,
how do you plan to really keep that authenticity, you
know as you grow and scale your company.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, well, the in I feel like it's gonna be
easier now than it was. You know, the way things
used to be, and then as they changed, it wasn't
exactly promoted out there that things are changing. It was
easier to like switch things around, switch ingredients, and nobody
would really know the difference because they didn't really know

(11:41):
what was going into the things back then, right. And
so now people not everybody obviously, but more and more
people as they're growing more aware of these things that
they want to put good things in their body they're
gonna pay more attention and they're gonna ask questions. And
then for me to make sure that everything that we

(12:02):
sell as we're just gonna hold the same standard as
always is that we're not gonna sell it if we
it's not something that we want to consume ourselves. Love
that and so when we have that standard for ourselves,
it makes it easy to make sure that what we
get is gonna be top notch.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
It's awesome that you're also open minded about what you
might try. You're not just like oh, I'll never eat that.
You're still open minded, like, hey, it might not fit us,
but it still would fit another you know, culture, if
you will. I love that because we had talked about
that off Mike and stuff. You know, we're regarding that.
But right now, squad, I'm gonna do is. I'm gonna

(12:38):
actually throw it to Steve Austin from Rise Mortgage, who
actually shops at one World, zero Waste. I didn't even
know that until this morning, which is fantastic. So Steve,
take it away. Brother, let's hear about the good market.
Thanks Scott.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
Happy Saturday everyone. This is Steve Austin with the Rise
Mortgage Dynamic team. With your mortgage market recap for the
week of sept Umber twenty ninth, and welcome to October.
We had a slow and steady week of upward improvement
in the mortgage bond market, landing us right in the
middle of the highs and lows we saw through September.
This week finished off on a much quieter note than
expected because of the government shutdown. Because the jobs reports

(13:14):
are ones that come from the government, the shutdown cause
it to not be delivered, so with investors not being
able to see that data, it left them in a
bit of a holding position and not much action on Friday.
As long as the government is shut down, we won't
be getting those reports, so we could expect things to
stay relatively steady moving forward. All on, all those things
in the mortgage world are in a solid level and

(13:34):
we are seeing buyers get some great deals out there.
That's it for this week. Have a great week on everyone.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Hey, thanks so much, Steve. And uh, you know Stephen
can't wait to actually meet you again when you go
back into this. You know one one world zero waste
into the store, So Steven, you know, the zero waste
movement is an ambitious thing, especially the way that the
world ends it is going you know, some say perfection

(15:11):
is impossible, but it's not really possible, you know anything,
But others say every step counts. So how do you
balance aspiration with realism? Do you ever worry about overwhelming
people or like trigger the eco guilt? You know what
I'm saying, Like, well, you shouldn't do that, because there
are people that do that. You don't absolutely, But do
you ever kind of worry about the overwhelm of how

(15:32):
we're ranking this change?

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, Well, it's easy to get overwhelmed about so many things.
So it's it's important to like we call ourselves one World,
zero waste, because that's our aspiration, and it's important to
like hold that goal in place, even though like each
day is just a step towards that goal and it's
not perfect. So I would say that, you know, to

(15:57):
hold a goal in place and to to take steps
as big as you can, as small as you need to,
and don't let yourself get overwhelmed because that doesn't help anybody.
It just makes things worse. When you get overwhelmed. Stress
comes in because we're about like harmony between people and
the planet, right, and so like we're part of the planet.

(16:18):
So if things are not going well with us that
has its own projection on how everything else goes to.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Absolutely and squad like you hear that the goals that
he has and we talk about goals and standards a
lot that you know, goals are nothing, but byproducts are
your standards. What his standards are held in the standards
that Steven holds is he's so convicted about it. He
understands Again it's a slow grow, right, It's like where

(16:45):
we're going if you but Stephen, if you ever, you know,
had a moment where you seriously kind of question whether
the path was sustainable for you personally, emotionally, financially, like
you know, just is it something that you grew up
always wanting or is this something like a passion project
that you feel will burn out one day, which we

(17:06):
hope it doesn't. I don't think it will, especially with you,
but like you ever, is there any fear that kind
of goes along with this growth?

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Thankfully? For me, no, definitely, Like fear doesn't doesn't help,
you know, So I try to stay with a positive
mindset and like take things as they come. You know,
we're gonna have adversity, but part of part of living
is like overcoming adversity, sure, and so you know it's

(17:37):
I'm very very blessed I have I have a great life,
and I always remind myself of that, and so the
worst thing that could possibly happen is not bad, you know.
So I feel really lucky in that way. I understand
not everybody. It takes a lot maybe for some people
to get to that point. But I'm in a good

(18:00):
position where that's just how I'm able to be.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Part of a lot of that is, you know, the.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Partner in crime absolutely.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
A lot of right. So you know your teammates in
this mission, right, and so kind of walk us through
how your you know, partnership functions and moments of like stress, disagreement,
Like if you don't mind sharing this because's a little
bit more intimate details. But if something comes up and
you're like, oh my gosh, moment, right, you know, how
does it work out? Are you the one that's chill?
And she's like, ah, is it you guys are both chilled?

(18:30):
Like how does that work? Uh? You know? Uh?

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Thankfully we're a great team working together. So I have
strength and she has strength and I have weaknesses too,
and so we work like we we we highlight each
other and the other and each person is able to,
like you know, pick up where where we're strong and
let the other person, like you know, not have to

(18:55):
do that. Yeah, exactly right. I think we're both really
grateful for our everything that we have, and so yeah,
things can get stressful, but we know that we're gonna overcome.
It is not that hard. Honestly, nothing that you have
to do in life. There's always a road, right, you
can always take steps forward, and so that's just what

(19:17):
we're gonna do. If you can see further down the road,
you know what directions walk right. You know, we're not
just looking one step in front of the other.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
So that's awesome that you guys are planning. You know
that your guys was playing. I see you and when
we're sitting there, you know, we both have our laptops open.
You know, we're doing work and I can see you're
planning and making sure all the steps work. And so
the strengths are there and you guys play off of
them and where one might be weaker, picks up the strength. Right. Yes,
that solid is with me and Susan. You know we

(19:45):
have a couple endeavors that we go. I am as
you probably know, I'm the one that's hat right, it's chill,
so with that. So you know, quick tip for a
listener who wants to begin zero waste, right, it feels
totally lost, like where where should they start store?

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah, no, just look in your garbage can and look
and see what things you're throwing away and that you're
throwing the most of away, right, and then look out
for ways that you can reduce that things that you
can get that are reusable. We're real big on reusable
replacements for single use items, plastic paper, everything like that.

(20:27):
We actually hand make a bunch of products, like a
line of zero waste products in Jupiter, Florida, where they're
replacements for paper towels and ziploc bags and saran wrapping
face rounds and just like common things that we buy
and throw away over and over. Sure, they're just bought
to be thrown away. So we make things that are
by you buy them and you use them forever, and

(20:49):
you just throw them through the washer and dryer like
your other towels and clothes and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, maybe in the end it will probably
be worn out, but at least how many.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Uses absolutely have that years and years and years. I've
been using the same towels for like five years, and
they stick together. They fit on my paper towel holder.
And the bags are great. They work better than the
disposable products because they're made to last instead of being
made to like, oh these are crappy. I'm gonna throw
it out if they're one use, because that's what they're

(21:20):
that's what they're for. So yeah, make switches like that,
look at the garbage.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Love it, and like just going back to my knowledge
and I get the coach, you knowledgy, I got dropped,
the legacies there, the passion that I feel this isn't
just a one stop shop and giving it a try.
A lot of people will do that, I believe, and
then they have a kid and it gets hard a kid.
You guys are still pushing through, right, Oh yeah? So
how about myths like the what's one myth that you're
kind of here circulating out there about zero waste or

(21:48):
sustainable living? You wish people would just shut up about, like,
you know, what are they do they saying?

Speaker 3 (21:56):
So I'm gonna put it out there. The myth that
everything that we recycle gets recycled, so even in the
best case of a scenario, a plastic bottle that you
throw in the recycling bin can get recycled, but it
turns into something of a lesser value, of a lesser quality.

(22:19):
And so each time you actually are able to recycle plastic,
it gets downgraded more and more until it becomes something
that it's not that is not recyclable anymore. So it
thinking that it's fine, I'll just get a bunch of
plastic and I'll throw it in the recycling and then
it's all good. Uh that it over time, it just

(22:42):
degrades more and more, and that that's a big part
of the problem.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Gotcha. Yeah, let's put you in front of say, like
Chelsea Reid and Palm Beach Gardens. You know, the mayor
and you know I told her you're bringing you know me? Yeah,
so you let's put your front maybe not her, but
an other mayor or city leader, like you know, had
ten minutes with them, you know, who knows little about
the sustainability but holds decision power. Like, what's your pitch

(23:09):
to that person the like, really get them on board?
What your your mission?

Speaker 3 (23:14):
It's the pitch would be for quality of life? Okay,
increase quality of life by uh, you know, reusing things.
Because another thing about plastic is it leaches into our
bodies and it leaches into our environment, and that just
affects everything. So it's all pervasive. So quality of life,

(23:36):
living longer, being happier, having less disruptions to our endocrine
system with plastics. Microplastics are endocrine disruptors. So you know,
politicians should be about like making the quality of life
of people in general better. So I guess that would
be my avenue to talk to them about love it.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, just getting in front of them and have them
kind of like put the word out for you as well.
Because where we live in South Florida it's a lot healthier,
a lot different, so you get a lot of you know,
not so much lot less pushback, I should say, So,
how do you want then your dash? Remember that little
line in between your incarnation date and your expiration date, Like,

(24:21):
how do you want your dash? Remember?

Speaker 3 (24:23):
