Speaker 1 (00:09):
And welcome back to truly Significant dot com. I'm Rick Tokeeney.
We have a wonderful guest on today, Greg Smith, and
considering his background as chairman of Compco Waker Manufacturing and
his passion for public speaking and business collaboration, we thought, man,
we got to have him on. And I want to
(00:29):
thank our mutual friend upfront, doctor Philippe Boissu, for introducing us.
He's such a fine gent and I love him as
a brother and as a mentor. Greg. Great to have
you on.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Welcome, well, thank you. It's a pleasure to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
You got to tell us about your backstory.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Backstory, Well, start with my grandfather here. He was born,
his father left him and as mother died when he
was in six great so back in the early nineteen hundred,
there's no safety net. There was no social security, there
was no orphanages, nothing like that. So he had to
live off the streets and he ended up going to
(01:12):
Youngstown and living with his aunt, Delilah. You can't make
that name up, but she the uncle wouldn't let him
in the house, so he had to live into the porch. Well,
winter came and it got cold, so he was brought
in by a store owner, a Jewish store owner, and
they taught him over ten years, how to run a store,
how to manage money, how to take care of people,
(01:34):
and he ended up going to the construction business. And
right now that business we sold it. But now that
business is probably worth probably one hundred million dollars now
that he started. We started a second company. My dad
and my grandfather started a second company called Compco, which
(01:54):
makes stamp heads, and I think we're at one hundred
and twenty million in sales annually. It's it's been a ride,
it's been fun, and it really comes down to how
you treat people. I mean, my grandfather taught us that
you know, your people are your greatest assets, not the
money you make. Not You're not in business to make money.
You're in business to solve problems for people. And the
more efficient you do it. And if you have a
(02:16):
great person to manage your money, you'll be fine. But
anybody it's in business to make money is honestly going
to be very disappointed because you can't take the money
with you to heaven, but you could take the relationships
with you.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Amen. And why is it that your grandfather's common sense
is not common practice today.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I just think it's that's a great question, you know,
that's that's really good question. You know. It's just like
I'm dealing with cancer for a second time right now,
and honestly, I went through chemo, I went through surgery.
I'm not doing that again. I'm going to find another way.
I'll guarantee you. I will bet dollars to donuts if
one of those CEOs from those top companies get sick,
(03:02):
he's not going to be using the drugs he makes.
I'll guarantee it, because there's better stuff out there, and
you know, and they do profits over people all the time,
and it's sick and that's got to be fixed. So
I just think it's I think it's innate in our
nature as humans to be greedy. You know, they say
(03:26):
Americans greedy, Well, everybody's greedy. Tell me who isn't greedy.
I mean, it's human nature. You know, it's called scarce resources,
it's called survival. And unfortunately we get we're a little
spoiled here in the States, and I think it been
allowed to get away with things that we shouldn't be
(03:46):
And that's where I think it is. I just think
it's a disciplined culture where you have to have accountability,
where you have to have your books open to the people.
You have to be transparent, and if you're transparent and open,
it's pretty hard to cheat.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
That's right. The first time that Greg and I had
a conversation, the word gut shot came out, and since
then I have used that word seventy two times at
last count, and had to define it to most people.
(04:22):
You better give me the definition again, because in case,
I've screwed it up to seventy two people and now
I've created this highly opinionated world that is turning on me.
Give us the definition of a gut shot and an example.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Oh well, I think. I think in the relationship that
you're talking about is what I always do is I
always say, you're in an aeroplane airplane. You know the
aeroplane is going to crash. Captain gives you a minute
to write down a message to a loved one and
(04:58):
give them some advice. What would be there's your gut shot?
What is it? The essence of who you are and
what you believe and what you want to perpetuate in
your life. That that is one one form of a
gut shot. The other one is when you're like you
go get your annual check up and they say you
got pancreatic cancer. That's called a gut shot too, And
(05:22):
luckily you you know you you don't know. It's like
I go to these oncologists and I say, have you
ever had cancer?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Have you ever had chemo? Have you ever had surgery
where they tear your body apart? You ever had that?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
How can you? You know? They have no concept of
what they're talking about. They think they do because they
studied it. But you can't study a pool unless you
get in it, you know. And so I think there's
there's two forms. There's things that happened to you in
life that tests you and based on your experience and
what you believe and what your beliefs are and what
your your rock is. My rock is Jesus Christ, of course,
(06:00):
and he's never let me down.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Amen. Yeah, after go ahead, after seven decades and I
think I'm on Ricky approaching Ricky seven point zero version.
It's either you or some other friends advised. I've realized
in a crystal clear way that Jesus is the most
(06:26):
truly significant and the rock to get us through all
sorts of storms. How are you leaning into him differently
with this latest battle?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Wow? Well, I was sitting there and the oncologist was
telling me what he's going to do to me with
with chemo, which islievb me. See, you lose all your hair,
you lose your muscles. If you're strong enough, will do surgery.
We'll completely redo your inside, you know. And then the
(07:01):
surgeon comes in and tells me he's if my stomach survives.
If it doesn't, all a spitfelvel on the side of
my neck. I mean, going on and on, and I
heard this thunderous I heard this thunderous voice say, no way,
not going to happen. Trust me. So I did, and
(07:24):
I was able to find some things. Right now, I'm
going to get I'm going to M. D Anderson, who
is very progressive with cancer treatment, and they're going to
do some tests on me and they're going to see
where it's at. But I've been doing something for about
five weeks now and it should be about half dead. Uh,
it won't spread. I mean, I'm in clinical ketosis, which
is the last thing they tell you to do. Last
(07:45):
thing they tell you to do. They tell you to
eat sugar and get get nourishment. Well, sugar's what cancer eats.
So anyway, uh, which I don't know what everything's going
to be okay means. I don't know what that means,
because going to heaven is everything should be okay to
me too, you know, So I don't know what that means.
(08:07):
But I know I'm he has a purpose for me.
So well see what.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
It is there? You go inside that though, people, if
you're really listening to Greg, it's it's about being still
and listening and paying attention to the voice. The voice
that you're you will hear, but you've got to be
still enough to hear it. And it's I don't know
(08:38):
whether it's higher mindfulness as we get older or we've
just become more empty, but our capabilities of listening, I
think are improved the older we get. What do you
think about that?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Well, you know, it's interesting. The scientist I'm working with
to eradicate this, and basically I'll tell you the chemistry
what it is is to see it's carbon sixty. They
did efficacy tests on carbon sixty when it was invented,
because you have to for human safety. And then you
find out the lab amirals for living ninety three percent
(09:15):
longer than they were supposed to go. So they figured
out that, you know, in certain forms, carbon sixty can
stop cancer, so you have to take it in the
right form. But you know, we'll see. I can't say
a workshire it doesn't work because I you know, but
I know somebody had stage four not pancreatic, but prostate
(09:38):
cancer and in eight weeks was it was in total remission.
So we'll see, that's right, We'll see, we will see.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Ironically, ironically, this is a sad note, and I don't
want to discount what's going on in your life, but
we're studying greg significant people that have lived through all
the hardest times of their lives, and most of them
(10:09):
are at least This last focus group has been about
Texans reading about this guy that I just barely knew about.
And we grew up on the poor side of the
tracks in Sherman, Texas, about half a block from Anderson Clayton,
(10:30):
the largest cottonseed oil processor in the world. My first
eighteen years of life, all I smelled was cotton seed oil,
and we were practically a part of the plant. I
came to find out this weekend. That Anderson, who passed
away in nineteen thirty nine was MD Anderson who decided
(10:57):
to give his money to create the first cancer research
center in the world called MD anders.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
There you go, full circle, full circle.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
It's like just an old guy who knew how to
grow cotton, yep, and just made it in life. And
I thought, oh my gosh, I gonna mention that to
you today, because isn't that a choice that we make
in life about We're going down this road of success
and one road goes to the left and one goes
to the right, and go what are we going to do?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You know? It reminds me real quick at my buddy
Paul Vespa, doctor Vespa, Ucla, was raising money for their
brain clinic a few years ago and they were struggling
trying to raise it. They hired a guy to come
in and the guy said, you guys are doing this wrong.
He said, it's easier to raise one hundred million than
one man, and within eight months he had all the
(11:55):
money they needed five billion. I mean, incredible.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It tell me more about that.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Well, they just there's people like you're talking about that
have worked their whole life. It's more money than you
need to survive to be nice. They set their kids
up so they have a trust fund so they can't
blow it, and they have enough money to live reasonably.
And then they have all this extra money they don't
know what to do with. But if it's for something,
it's in perpetually that will last forever. That's what they do.
(12:25):
It's really interesting. On another side, note the shrine the
Shriner's Hospitals, which treat burnt victims. There were two senators
that started that. This is back in the thirties, I believe,
and they went to the US government. They said, we
have an idea to create a fund where you only
spend the interest and we'll break We'll use this fund,
(12:46):
we'll put all tax dollars in there, and we'll live
off the interest, rather than using the principle that people
give us. And they told them to go pound sand.
So they started the Shriner's Hospital with that same concept.
The last time I checked, it was like four hundred
or five hundred million dollars budget all interest. They have.
(13:08):
That they have that big and that that was their idea.
If we would have done that in the thirties and
America would have lived off the interest of our money
rather than paying interest on our money. Could you imagine
the world we would be in now? So that it's
just interesting, how you know? You know, the difference in
(13:29):
life between a murderer and you or me is they
made different choices. That's it. That's it.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
We have the same we have the same feelings. You
just make different choices.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And you know what, in researching you since our last conversation,
we always try to come up with what is on
a person's billboard and beyond what you've told us so far,
what came up was you'll love this business collaboration catalyst,
(14:01):
and I went, well, he's gonna love this one. What
does that mean to you?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Well, it's just I have lots of ideas a lot
of times I have no idea how to do them.
But there's plenty of people that want a great idea
so they can execute it. And there's plenty of ideas
that stay on people till it gets done. So those
aren't me. But I am definitely somebody that sees two
people and they think they should work together. I see
(14:30):
an idea and I take it to the next level.
I mean, it's just like, if this thing works what
I'm doing, and I can if I can get my
pancreated cancer into remission with no chemo. I really honestly
think there's an idea for a clinic where you check in,
you have to sign and hold harmless, but they control you.
(14:53):
Because I asked my buddy, I said, why don't they
do these things? Why don't they put you on a
katosis diet. Why don't they, you know, give you things
that can at least stop the growth until they figure
out what to do, because they can do that. And
he goes, Greg, we can't trust patients. They will have
the cupcake and the cupcake the once you get the cupcake,
the cancer goes nuts because now it's being fed again.
(15:16):
You said you can't trust people. They don't follow directions,
So you got to put them in a in a
unit where they are completely controlled and for eight weeks
and then you can eliminate it. I mean, pretty simple,
But you know that that's an idea I have. You know,
you know, whether you know, big Farmer, lets me do
it or I'll be looking down from heaven. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
You because they're pretty rudeless. You can't, you can't, you
can't trust patients to do if you've never had cancer
and you've never gone through it, and you're not feeling
any symptoms, and they say ketosis diet, which means basically,
you can eat certain meats and very few vegetables, and
(16:00):
you have to prick your finger every day and make
sure your glucose is under a center number and your
key tones are a certain number, so you're less than
point one, I mean less than one on a ketosis
on a GKI scale. And that takes work and takes discipline.
And I went to our largest fair and I saw
the funnel cakes, and I saw the corn dogs, and
(16:21):
I saw the ice cream, and I couldn't have a
drop of it.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It would kill me. And because the minute you give it.
They did this experiment with mice with had cancer and
they put it on kotosis diet and it stopped the
tumors from growing. It really stopped them because they can't eat.
There's nothing for him to eat. And then the guys
screw up the feed and started giving the wrong food
(16:46):
and they died almost instantly, faster than they were would
die because the cancer is starving and now all of
a sudden, you give it glucose cancer always eats first,
so you can't. My buddy said, we have these discussions.
You cannot trust patients. He says, ninety percent of my
patients don't follow my directions. They do their own thing.
They don't take their pills when they're supposed to, they don't,
(17:06):
they skip meals or they take eat more meals, or
they don't. They just don't follow it because they feel
good and they think, oh, it's okay. So you know,
you have to you have to monitor that. So that
that's an idea. But you know, I always you know,
I drove by a theater once in nineteen eighty eight
and I thought I'd like to own that someday. Well,
(17:27):
a year ago, my CEO comes up to me and goes, hey,
I bought a theater. I go which one? And he
told me. I said, I had a dream about that
one back in eighty eight. And so now we own
a theater, you know, and we're having fun with that.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
That is good. Okay, I'm gonna I'm going to shift

Speaker 1 (20:25):
We're back with Greg Smith. We're talking about gut shots, living,
cancer battles, etc. Even got onto Carbon sixty and Carl
and I recently went to Japan for three weeks and
(20:47):
there were lots of things that were stirring. God had
started my own head about what do you want to
find out in three weeks? And one of them was
about blue zones. And I was following maybe eight or
nine Japanese women that were over ninety years old, and
(21:09):
I was trying to eat the same breakfast that they
were eating every day, and Greg I came. I came
to the conclusion that I averaged maybe two or three
different items on my plate. They were averaging nineteen items
on their plate, including they always took fish first, garlic,
(21:31):
rice salad with no dressing, mushrooms, da da da da
da da. I mean, it's like I could not keep up,
nor was my plate large enough. And I thought, and
I got to talk to someone about this experience, and
you're the perfect person to address it. Tell me what
you know about blue zones and about their diet and
what makes them live to be one hundred plus.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Well, I truly believe that you know diet. It's important
when you put in your mouth's important, and I think
nonprocessed foods are most important, and stuff that's not chemically
altered very important. However, you can't underestimate the power of relationship.
(22:17):
Good solid relationships where you laugh and you're free and
you can talk, and places where you can go and
walk and meditate. Those are irreplaceable. I mean, you can
have the best diet in the world, and if you're alone,
you're going to die. Sorry, it's going to happen because
we are not meant to be alone. And just think
(22:40):
of all the people that stay on awful rotten relationships,
whether their abuse or they're misus. You know, they stay
in there because they don't want to be alone. They're
more afraid to be alone than they are to get
away from abuse. That's a fact. So I think having healthy,
good relationships around you is the most important thing. Secondly
(23:02):
is definitely stay away from foods that are processed. Whether
you eat beans or rice or you know whatever. You know,
you have to see what's good for your body. And
you know, everybody's different. I mean, I'm a voice coach,
and you know some people, if they have one cup
of caffeine, their throat dries up. If they have milk,
(23:24):
they have so much phlegm they don't know what to
do with. And I have other people that can eat
anything and it doesn't bother them. So everybody's different. So
you have to figure out what works for you. But
I'm telling you you have to fast. If you go
to these blue zones, I'll guarantee you those people fast.
Fasting is in the Bible. Fasting absolutely reset your system.
(23:46):
It is absolutely essential. You'd at least take a forty
hour fast once a quarter. It's very important and resets
your whole system. And people that fast basically reduced their
chances of cancer by seventy percent. Boom. So that's that's
(24:08):
what I know about about zone and I studied them too,
because I was like, you know, I'm really into like
health and all that. Once you've once you've got the
bad cells did populate too much because everybody's got cancer
and them everybody, it's just your t cells kill them
before they can make a tumor. Once they make a tumor,
then they protect it. But once your body identifies them
(24:30):
as bad, they'll kill them. So you have to you know.
That's why there's certain places that give you a little
bit of shot a chemo to excite them, and then
they inject something that helps your t cells recognize them
and they knock them out. So that's a I think
it's doctor Soon. I can't remember his last name. He's
from UCLA, sold his company for ten billion. A bought
(24:54):
the La Times because he was he wanted to broader
focus on what people could talk about. I won't report
on himself at all, but he has the only FDA
approved bladder cancer reversal therapy, the only one, and he's
working on a long COVID and he's working on some
other things. But that, you know, that's where you've got
(25:16):
to get to the science of things, and you've got
to look at what help actually helps people, not what
makes the most money. You know, that's where that's where
in fact, I real quick another low quick side note.
I have a congressman friend that they're investigating a case
with a pill that they one of the big companies
bought was sold for five dollars in Europe. They brought
(25:40):
it to the United States and charged fifty thousand dollars
per dose. A family went completely broke. Each family member
took a turn buying this pill so their mother could live.
They ran out of money and she died after a year.
And that pill was five dollars in Europe and they
charged fifty thousand dollars. That's how sick the system is.
(26:03):
And everybody says, all, it's not that bad. It is
that bad. And I'm not saying some things aren't really good.
I mean, there's chance I'll take a little bit of chemo.
There's a chance I'll have to have surgery to get
removed the tumor. There's a chance. However, it's I'm going
to educate myself. I'm going to know what's out there.
I'm going to know what's proven. I'm going to see
(26:24):
proof that things work, not just hears say, not just marketing,
not just say, you know, snake oil salesman. I'm going
to listen. I'm going to do research. And again, you
know you're talking about blue zones. When I had cancer
the first time, I told everybody, I was not afraid
to talk about it. And I literally got a video
(26:44):
from a church in Guatemala, where I had served under
John Maxwell. I did some you know teaching down there.
Twelve thousand people prayed for me, and they showed me
the video of all twelve thousand praying for me. I
got through that and lived because of prayer and relationship,
(27:07):
not because of all the fancy dancy chemo and radiation
and all that. That's what got me through, is the
relationship and the will and the wanting to live.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Amen. The irony of a voice coach, and now you're
coaching our voices and our feelings toward cancer. Oh the irony.
What does the number forty mean to you today?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Number forty wow, I don't know. I don't know, never
thought of forty. Thirty three is a big number for me.
But forty.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I'm hearing it at night. We were designing the cover
to truly significant, and I found a forty point north
star that was found in a on a wall, thirty
three BC, forty days in the desert, forty days of fasting.
(28:16):
It's like reappearing. It's just it's like the most frequent
number I've this. The Spirit is holy Spirit has just
got I'm almost under I see forty.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah, I interesting. I I would you know, I won't
know now, but when I get off this call, I'm
probably gonna I'm such a learner, I'm probably gonna go
investigate it.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
That's so good. We're going to wrap up with a
couple of questions for Greg Smith. And you know, I
think everyone needs to know about your leadership philosophy and
so they can contact you. And there's there's something so
different about you that's driving your philosophy. And I'm sure
(29:06):
it's Jesus, but what else for your leadership philosophy?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
You know, this is interesting. Most leadership books or management
books are not really leadership books and it's not to
knock anything. You got to get things done. Yep, until
you have the revelation. And I fight this, I fight
this the revelation of all people are a reflection of yourself.
(29:35):
Until you see people as an ink blot, you're going
to struggle. God made us all in his image, and
what we see in other people's the only thing we
could possibly see is our own experiences. You know, And
somebody told me this once. He said, when you're angry
at somebody, you know, you're complaining or gossiping, it's because
(30:01):
they remind you of something you don't like about yourself.
And people go, that's not true. Really look deep, really
look deep, and you're going to find it because you
can only notice what you know about yourself. You have
no other you know, you are a completely unique person.
Nobody has your experience, nobody has your choices. The combinations
(30:24):
are endless. It's just impossible. But your experiences and your
choices allow you to see what you see in other people.
So it's a reflection of yourself. And the minute you
get that and stop judging yourself versus other people, stop
comparing yourself to other people, and just see them as
(30:45):
a reflection of yourself. Leadership becomes incredibly simple, not easy,
but simple. Shit.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
You have to know who you are. I mean the
self leadership piece, I mean all my books I've written.
The two books i've written both deal the first chapters
deal with knowing yourself. And you can never know yourself enough. Great,
great question for chat ept you know me well enough?
Ask me ten questions that I would never think of
that will really dig deep into who I am. Get ready,
(31:23):
put your seatbelt on.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Ask ten questions. Say that again, Greg, ask ten questions.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Ten questions. It'll surprise me when I answer them about
myself knowing everything you know about me.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Gosh, Oh, my shocker. Is that a gut shot? Is that?
Can we count them?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
That's a gut shot. That'll be a gut shot when
you get those questions and you got to answer them.
But don't make sure you're alone when you do it,
because it's gonna you're you're you're gonna be stumped because
it's they're deep and they're good.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Okay, So I'm going to close with a prayer for Greg. Lord,
I just pray that you will bless our brother Greg
Smith as he goes through this battle, and that if
it's your will that he continues to be here on
earth and contribute to people like me or Philip or others,
(32:23):
that you will will be done, and that he is
encouraged every single day with this battle, and that his
voice as a voice coach becomes a voice for everybody
else who's struggling, that he might help us realize there's
other choices and other options and how we face the battle.
(32:44):
In your prize name, I love you in Jesus name. Amen. Amen, Greg,
tell our listeners one more time how they can contact you,
and I hope you will journal and let everybody know
about how the battle wages.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
My personal is vocal Catalysts dot com. That's the Vocal Catalyst,
not DA It's vocal Catalyst dot com. Okay. And our
company is compcos O n pc O dot com. And
I've got one little final quote here. Please devil saw me.
The devil saw me with my head down and thought
(33:25):
he'd won until I said, amen.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Fall gut shot at the devil. And that is a great.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Way to close this shit, all right, sir.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Thank you so much. That was Greg Smith. Cann Folks,
As we always say, We wish you success, but on
your own unique way to significance. Try to triangulate that
with Jesus. That might make sense.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
A good week, Amen
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Name
And welcome back to truly Significant dot com. I'm Rick Tokeeney.
We have a wonderful guest on today, Greg Smith, and
considering his background as chairman of Compco Waker Manufacturing and
his passion for public speaking and business collaboration, we thought, man,
we got to have him on. And I want to
(00:29):
thank our mutual friend upfront, doctor Philippe Boissu, for introducing us.
He's such a fine gent and I love him as
a brother and as a mentor. Greg. Great to have
you on.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Welcome, well, thank you. It's a pleasure to be here.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
You got to tell us about your backstory.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Backstory, Well, start with my grandfather here. He was born,
his father left him and as mother died when he
was in six great so back in the early nineteen hundred,
there's no safety net. There was no social security, there
was no orphanages, nothing like that. So he had to
live off the streets and he ended up going to
(01:12):
Youngstown and living with his aunt, Delilah. You can't make
that name up, but she the uncle wouldn't let him
in the house, so he had to live into the porch. Well,
winter came and it got cold, so he was brought
in by a store owner, a Jewish store owner, and
they taught him over ten years, how to run a store,
how to manage money, how to take care of people,
(01:34):
and he ended up going to the construction business. And
right now that business we sold it. But now that
business is probably worth probably one hundred million dollars now
that he started. We started a second company. My dad
and my grandfather started a second company called Compco, which
(01:54):
makes stamp heads, and I think we're at one hundred
and twenty million in sales annually. It's it's been a ride,
it's been fun, and it really comes down to how
you treat people. I mean, my grandfather taught us that
you know, your people are your greatest assets, not the
money you make. Not You're not in business to make money.
You're in business to solve problems for people. And the
more efficient you do it. And if you have a
(02:16):
great person to manage your money, you'll be fine. But
anybody it's in business to make money is honestly going
to be very disappointed because you can't take the money
with you to heaven, but you could take the relationships
with you.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Amen. And why is it that your grandfather's common sense
is not common practice today.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I just think it's that's a great question, you know,
that's that's really good question. You know. It's just like
I'm dealing with cancer for a second time right now,
and honestly, I went through chemo, I went through surgery.
I'm not doing that again. I'm going to find another way.
I'll guarantee you. I will bet dollars to donuts if
one of those CEOs from those top companies get sick,
(03:02):
he's not going to be using the drugs he makes.
I'll guarantee it, because there's better stuff out there, and
you know, and they do profits over people all the time,
and it's sick and that's got to be fixed. So
I just think it's I think it's innate in our
nature as humans to be greedy. You know, they say
(03:26):
Americans greedy, Well, everybody's greedy. Tell me who isn't greedy.
I mean, it's human nature. You know, it's called scarce resources,
it's called survival. And unfortunately we get we're a little
spoiled here in the States, and I think it been
allowed to get away with things that we shouldn't be
(03:46):
And that's where I think it is. I just think
it's a disciplined culture where you have to have accountability,
where you have to have your books open to the people.
You have to be transparent, and if you're transparent and open,
it's pretty hard to cheat.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
That's right. The first time that Greg and I had
a conversation, the word gut shot came out, and since
then I have used that word seventy two times at
last count, and had to define it to most people.
(04:22):
You better give me the definition again, because in case,
I've screwed it up to seventy two people and now
I've created this highly opinionated world that is turning on me.
Give us the definition of a gut shot and an example.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Oh well, I think. I think in the relationship that
you're talking about is what I always do is I
always say, you're in an aeroplane airplane. You know the
aeroplane is going to crash. Captain gives you a minute
to write down a message to a loved one and
(04:58):
give them some advice. What would be there's your gut shot?
What is it? The essence of who you are and
what you believe and what you want to perpetuate in
your life. That that is one one form of a
gut shot. The other one is when you're like you
go get your annual check up and they say you
got pancreatic cancer. That's called a gut shot too, And
(05:22):
luckily you you know you you don't know. It's like
I go to these oncologists and I say, have you
ever had cancer?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Have you ever had chemo? Have you ever had surgery
where they tear your body apart? You ever had that?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
How can you? You know? They have no concept of
what they're talking about. They think they do because they
studied it. But you can't study a pool unless you
get in it, you know. And so I think there's
there's two forms. There's things that happened to you in
life that tests you and based on your experience and
what you believe and what your beliefs are and what
your your rock is. My rock is Jesus Christ, of course,
(06:00):
and he's never let me down.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Amen. Yeah, after go ahead, after seven decades and I
think I'm on Ricky approaching Ricky seven point zero version.
It's either you or some other friends advised. I've realized
in a crystal clear way that Jesus is the most
(06:26):
truly significant and the rock to get us through all
sorts of storms. How are you leaning into him differently
with this latest battle?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Wow? Well, I was sitting there and the oncologist was
telling me what he's going to do to me with
with chemo, which islievb me. See, you lose all your hair,
you lose your muscles. If you're strong enough, will do surgery.
We'll completely redo your inside, you know. And then the
(07:01):
surgeon comes in and tells me he's if my stomach survives.
If it doesn't, all a spitfelvel on the side of
my neck. I mean, going on and on, and I
heard this thunderous I heard this thunderous voice say, no way,
not going to happen. Trust me. So I did, and
(07:24):
I was able to find some things. Right now, I'm
going to get I'm going to M. D Anderson, who
is very progressive with cancer treatment, and they're going to
do some tests on me and they're going to see
where it's at. But I've been doing something for about
five weeks now and it should be about half dead. Uh,
it won't spread. I mean, I'm in clinical ketosis, which
is the last thing they tell you to do. Last
(07:45):
thing they tell you to do. They tell you to
eat sugar and get get nourishment. Well, sugar's what cancer eats.
So anyway, uh, which I don't know what everything's going
to be okay means. I don't know what that means,
because going to heaven is everything should be okay to
me too, you know, So I don't know what that means.
(08:07):
But I know I'm he has a purpose for me.
So well see what.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
It is there? You go inside that though, people, if
you're really listening to Greg, it's it's about being still
and listening and paying attention to the voice. The voice
that you're you will hear, but you've got to be
still enough to hear it. And it's I don't know
(08:38):
whether it's higher mindfulness as we get older or we've
just become more empty, but our capabilities of listening, I
think are improved the older we get. What do you
think about that?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Well, you know, it's interesting. The scientist I'm working with
to eradicate this, and basically I'll tell you the chemistry
what it is is to see it's carbon sixty. They
did efficacy tests on carbon sixty when it was invented,
because you have to for human safety. And then you
find out the lab amirals for living ninety three percent
(09:15):
longer than they were supposed to go. So they figured
out that, you know, in certain forms, carbon sixty can
stop cancer, so you have to take it in the
right form. But you know, we'll see. I can't say
a workshire it doesn't work because I you know, but
I know somebody had stage four not pancreatic, but prostate
(09:38):
cancer and in eight weeks was it was in total remission.
So we'll see, that's right, We'll see, we will see.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Ironically, ironically, this is a sad note, and I don't
want to discount what's going on in your life, but
we're studying greg significant people that have lived through all
the hardest times of their lives, and most of them
(10:09):
are at least This last focus group has been about
Texans reading about this guy that I just barely knew about.
And we grew up on the poor side of the
tracks in Sherman, Texas, about half a block from Anderson Clayton,
(10:30):
the largest cottonseed oil processor in the world. My first
eighteen years of life, all I smelled was cotton seed oil,
and we were practically a part of the plant. I
came to find out this weekend. That Anderson, who passed
away in nineteen thirty nine was MD Anderson who decided
(10:57):
to give his money to create the first cancer research
center in the world called MD anders.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
There you go, full circle, full circle.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
It's like just an old guy who knew how to
grow cotton, yep, and just made it in life. And
I thought, oh my gosh, I gonna mention that to
you today, because isn't that a choice that we make
in life about We're going down this road of success
and one road goes to the left and one goes
to the right, and go what are we going to do?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You know? It reminds me real quick at my buddy
Paul Vespa, doctor Vespa, Ucla, was raising money for their
brain clinic a few years ago and they were struggling
trying to raise it. They hired a guy to come
in and the guy said, you guys are doing this wrong.
He said, it's easier to raise one hundred million than
one man, and within eight months he had all the
(11:55):
money they needed five billion. I mean, incredible.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It tell me more about that.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Well, they just there's people like you're talking about that
have worked their whole life. It's more money than you
need to survive to be nice. They set their kids
up so they have a trust fund so they can't
blow it, and they have enough money to live reasonably.
And then they have all this extra money they don't
know what to do with. But if it's for something,
it's in perpetually that will last forever. That's what they do.
(12:25):
It's really interesting. On another side, note the shrine the
Shriner's Hospitals, which treat burnt victims. There were two senators
that started that. This is back in the thirties, I believe,
and they went to the US government. They said, we
have an idea to create a fund where you only
spend the interest and we'll break We'll use this fund,
(12:46):
we'll put all tax dollars in there, and we'll live
off the interest, rather than using the principle that people
give us. And they told them to go pound sand.
So they started the Shriner's Hospital with that same concept.
The last time I checked, it was like four hundred
or five hundred million dollars budget all interest. They have.
(13:08):
That they have that big and that that was their idea.
If we would have done that in the thirties and
America would have lived off the interest of our money
rather than paying interest on our money. Could you imagine
the world we would be in now? So that it's
just interesting, how you know? You know, the difference in
(13:29):
life between a murderer and you or me is they
made different choices. That's it. That's it.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
We have the same we have the same feelings. You
just make different choices.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And you know what, in researching you since our last conversation,
we always try to come up with what is on
a person's billboard and beyond what you've told us so far,
what came up was you'll love this business collaboration catalyst,
(14:01):
and I went, well, he's gonna love this one. What
does that mean to you?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Well, it's just I have lots of ideas a lot
of times I have no idea how to do them.
But there's plenty of people that want a great idea
so they can execute it. And there's plenty of ideas
that stay on people till it gets done. So those
aren't me. But I am definitely somebody that sees two
people and they think they should work together. I see
(14:30):
an idea and I take it to the next level.
I mean, it's just like, if this thing works what
I'm doing, and I can if I can get my
pancreated cancer into remission with no chemo. I really honestly
think there's an idea for a clinic where you check in,
you have to sign and hold harmless, but they control you.
(14:53):
Because I asked my buddy, I said, why don't they
do these things? Why don't they put you on a
katosis diet. Why don't they, you know, give you things
that can at least stop the growth until they figure
out what to do, because they can do that. And
he goes, Greg, we can't trust patients. They will have
the cupcake and the cupcake the once you get the cupcake,
the cancer goes nuts because now it's being fed again.
(15:16):
You said you can't trust people. They don't follow directions,
So you got to put them in a in a
unit where they are completely controlled and for eight weeks
and then you can eliminate it. I mean, pretty simple,
But you know that that's an idea I have. You know,
you know, whether you know, big Farmer, lets me do
it or I'll be looking down from heaven. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
You because they're pretty rudeless. You can't, you can't, you
can't trust patients to do if you've never had cancer
and you've never gone through it, and you're not feeling
any symptoms, and they say ketosis diet, which means basically,
you can eat certain meats and very few vegetables, and
(16:00):
you have to prick your finger every day and make
sure your glucose is under a center number and your
key tones are a certain number, so you're less than
point one, I mean less than one on a ketosis
on a GKI scale. And that takes work and takes discipline.
And I went to our largest fair and I saw
the funnel cakes, and I saw the corn dogs, and
(16:21):
I saw the ice cream, and I couldn't have a
drop of it.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It would kill me. And because the minute you give it.
They did this experiment with mice with had cancer and
they put it on kotosis diet and it stopped the
tumors from growing. It really stopped them because they can't eat.
There's nothing for him to eat. And then the guys
screw up the feed and started giving the wrong food
(16:46):
and they died almost instantly, faster than they were would
die because the cancer is starving and now all of
a sudden, you give it glucose cancer always eats first,
so you can't. My buddy said, we have these discussions.
You cannot trust patients. He says, ninety percent of my
patients don't follow my directions. They do their own thing.
They don't take their pills when they're supposed to, they don't,
(17:06):
they skip meals or they take eat more meals, or
they don't. They just don't follow it because they feel
good and they think, oh, it's okay. So you know,
you have to you have to monitor that. So that
that's an idea. But you know, I always you know,
I drove by a theater once in nineteen eighty eight
and I thought I'd like to own that someday. Well,
(17:27):
a year ago, my CEO comes up to me and goes, hey,
I bought a theater. I go which one? And he
told me. I said, I had a dream about that
one back in eighty eight. And so now we own
a theater, you know, and we're having fun with that.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
That is good. Okay, I'm gonna I'm going to shift
gears on you in the back half of the show
and talk a little bit about blue zones, and we're
going to take a commercial break. Tell our people where

Speaker 1 (20:25):
We're back with Greg Smith. We're talking about gut shots, living,
cancer battles, etc. Even got onto Carbon sixty and Carl
and I recently went to Japan for three weeks and
(20:47):
there were lots of things that were stirring. God had
started my own head about what do you want to
find out in three weeks? And one of them was
about blue zones. And I was following maybe eight or
nine Japanese women that were over ninety years old, and
(21:09):
I was trying to eat the same breakfast that they
were eating every day, and Greg I came. I came
to the conclusion that I averaged maybe two or three
different items on my plate. They were averaging nineteen items
on their plate, including they always took fish first, garlic,
(21:31):
rice salad with no dressing, mushrooms, da da da da
da da. I mean, it's like I could not keep up,
nor was my plate large enough. And I thought, and
I got to talk to someone about this experience, and
you're the perfect person to address it. Tell me what
you know about blue zones and about their diet and
what makes them live to be one hundred plus.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Well, I truly believe that you know diet. It's important
when you put in your mouth's important, and I think
nonprocessed foods are most important, and stuff that's not chemically
altered very important. However, you can't underestimate the power of relationship.
(22:17):
Good solid relationships where you laugh and you're free and
you can talk, and places where you can go and
walk and meditate. Those are irreplaceable. I mean, you can
have the best diet in the world, and if you're alone,
you're going to die. Sorry, it's going to happen because
we are not meant to be alone. And just think
(22:40):
of all the people that stay on awful rotten relationships,
whether their abuse or they're misus. You know, they stay
in there because they don't want to be alone. They're
more afraid to be alone than they are to get
away from abuse. That's a fact. So I think having healthy,
good relationships around you is the most important thing. Secondly
(23:02):
is definitely stay away from foods that are processed. Whether
you eat beans or rice or you know whatever. You know,
you have to see what's good for your body. And
you know, everybody's different. I mean, I'm a voice coach,
and you know some people, if they have one cup
of caffeine, their throat dries up. If they have milk,
(23:24):
they have so much phlegm they don't know what to
do with. And I have other people that can eat
anything and it doesn't bother them. So everybody's different. So
you have to figure out what works for you. But
I'm telling you you have to fast. If you go
to these blue zones, I'll guarantee you those people fast.
Fasting is in the Bible. Fasting absolutely reset your system.
(23:46):
It is absolutely essential. You'd at least take a forty
hour fast once a quarter. It's very important and resets
your whole system. And people that fast basically reduced their
chances of cancer by seventy percent. Boom. So that's that's
(24:08):
what I know about about zone and I studied them too,
because I was like, you know, I'm really into like
health and all that. Once you've once you've got the
bad cells did populate too much because everybody's got cancer
and them everybody, it's just your t cells kill them
before they can make a tumor. Once they make a tumor,
then they protect it. But once your body identifies them
(24:30):
as bad, they'll kill them. So you have to you know.
That's why there's certain places that give you a little
bit of shot a chemo to excite them, and then
they inject something that helps your t cells recognize them
and they knock them out. So that's a I think
it's doctor Soon. I can't remember his last name. He's
from UCLA, sold his company for ten billion. A bought
(24:54):
the La Times because he was he wanted to broader
focus on what people could talk about. I won't report
on himself at all, but he has the only FDA
approved bladder cancer reversal therapy, the only one, and he's
working on a long COVID and he's working on some
other things. But that, you know, that's where you've got
(25:16):
to get to the science of things, and you've got
to look at what help actually helps people, not what
makes the most money. You know, that's where that's where
in fact, I real quick another low quick side note.
I have a congressman friend that they're investigating a case
with a pill that they one of the big companies
bought was sold for five dollars in Europe. They brought
(25:40):
it to the United States and charged fifty thousand dollars
per dose. A family went completely broke. Each family member
took a turn buying this pill so their mother could live.
They ran out of money and she died after a year.
And that pill was five dollars in Europe and they
charged fifty thousand dollars. That's how sick the system is.
(26:03):
And everybody says, all, it's not that bad. It is
that bad. And I'm not saying some things aren't really good.
I mean, there's chance I'll take a little bit of chemo.
There's a chance I'll have to have surgery to get
removed the tumor. There's a chance. However, it's I'm going
to educate myself. I'm going to know what's out there.
I'm going to know what's proven. I'm going to see
(26:24):
proof that things work, not just hears say, not just marketing,
not just say, you know, snake oil salesman. I'm going
to listen. I'm going to do research. And again, you
know you're talking about blue zones. When I had cancer
the first time, I told everybody, I was not afraid
to talk about it. And I literally got a video
(26:44):
from a church in Guatemala, where I had served under
John Maxwell. I did some you know teaching down there.
Twelve thousand people prayed for me, and they showed me
the video of all twelve thousand praying for me. I
got through that and lived because of prayer and relationship,
(27:07):
not because of all the fancy dancy chemo and radiation
and all that. That's what got me through, is the
relationship and the will and the wanting to live.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Amen. The irony of a voice coach, and now you're
coaching our voices and our feelings toward cancer. Oh the irony.
What does the number forty mean to you today?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Number forty wow, I don't know. I don't know, never
thought of forty. Thirty three is a big number for me.
But forty.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I'm hearing it at night. We were designing the cover
to truly significant, and I found a forty point north
star that was found in a on a wall, thirty
three BC, forty days in the desert, forty days of fasting.
(28:16):
It's like reappearing. It's just it's like the most frequent
number I've this. The Spirit is holy Spirit has just
got I'm almost under I see forty.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah, I interesting. I I would you know, I won't
know now, but when I get off this call, I'm
probably gonna I'm such a learner, I'm probably gonna go
investigate it.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
That's so good. We're going to wrap up with a
couple of questions for Greg Smith. And you know, I
think everyone needs to know about your leadership philosophy and
so they can contact you. And there's there's something so
different about you that's driving your philosophy. And I'm sure
(29:06):
it's Jesus, but what else for your leadership philosophy?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
You know, this is interesting. Most leadership books or management
books are not really leadership books and it's not to
knock anything. You got to get things done. Yep, until
you have the revelation. And I fight this, I fight
this the revelation of all people are a reflection of yourself.
(29:35):
Until you see people as an ink blot, you're going
to struggle. God made us all in his image, and
what we see in other people's the only thing we
could possibly see is our own experiences. You know, And
somebody told me this once. He said, when you're angry
at somebody, you know, you're complaining or gossiping, it's because
(30:01):
they remind you of something you don't like about yourself.
And people go, that's not true. Really look deep, really
look deep, and you're going to find it because you
can only notice what you know about yourself. You have
no other you know, you are a completely unique person.
Nobody has your experience, nobody has your choices. The combinations
(30:24):
are endless. It's just impossible. But your experiences and your
choices allow you to see what you see in other people.
So it's a reflection of yourself. And the minute you
get that and stop judging yourself versus other people, stop
comparing yourself to other people, and just see them as
(30:45):
a reflection of yourself. Leadership becomes incredibly simple, not easy,
but simple. Shit.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
You have to know who you are. I mean the
self leadership piece, I mean all my books I've written.
The two books i've written both deal the first chapters
deal with knowing yourself. And you can never know yourself enough. Great,
great question for chat ept you know me well enough?
Ask me ten questions that I would never think of
that will really dig deep into who I am. Get ready,
(31:23):
put your seatbelt on.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Ask ten questions. Say that again, Greg, ask ten questions.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Ten questions. It'll surprise me when I answer them about
myself knowing everything you know about me.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Gosh, Oh, my shocker. Is that a gut shot? Is that?
Can we count them?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
That's a gut shot. That'll be a gut shot when
you get those questions and you got to answer them.
But don't make sure you're alone when you do it,
because it's gonna you're you're you're gonna be stumped because
it's they're deep and they're good.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Okay, So I'm going to close with a prayer for Greg. Lord,
I just pray that you will bless our brother Greg
Smith as he goes through this battle, and that if
it's your will that he continues to be here on
earth and contribute to people like me or Philip or others,
(32:23):
that you will will be done, and that he is
encouraged every single day with this battle, and that his
voice as a voice coach becomes a voice for everybody
else who's struggling, that he might help us realize there's
other choices and other options and how we face the battle.
(32:44):
In your prize name, I love you in Jesus name. Amen. Amen, Greg,
tell our listeners one more time how they can contact you,
and I hope you will journal and let everybody know
about how the battle wages.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
My personal is vocal Catalysts dot com. That's the Vocal Catalyst,
not DA It's vocal Catalyst dot com. Okay. And our
company is compcos O n pc O dot com. And
I've got one little final quote here. Please devil saw me.
The devil saw me with my head down and thought
(33:25):
he'd won until I said, amen.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Fall gut shot at the devil. And that is a great.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Way to close this shit, all right, sir.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Thank you so much. That was Greg Smith. Cann Folks,
As we always say, We wish you success, but on
your own unique way to significance. Try to triangulate that
with Jesus. That might make sense.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
A good week, Amen
