Dylan Bost and the Art of Alignment

WEBVTT

00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:04.839
And I woke up this morning looking good. Look

00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:07.440
at my bangs. Hi, everyone. I'm talking about

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:11.839
the bangs again. Okay, look who I have. Dylan

00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:16.570
Bost, boss. And he's so handsome. He's the most

00:00:16.570 --> 00:00:19.149
photogenic man I've ever seen in my life. Wait

00:00:19.149 --> 00:00:21.550
till you'll see his website. We're going to go

00:00:21.550 --> 00:00:24.429
deep dive on your website. But as always, I have

00:00:24.429 --> 00:00:27.489
no clue who I am interviewing. I did say, can

00:00:27.489 --> 00:00:29.190
I have like a couple of words? Because we are

00:00:29.190 --> 00:00:31.870
live on Chatter Social and streaming live on

00:00:31.870 --> 00:00:37.049
Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. So Dylan, information

00:00:37.049 --> 00:00:40.170
architect, who are you? What do you do? Introduce

00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:44.740
yourself. You know, I love this question because

00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:47.859
I think it ties into some of the things I'm writing

00:00:47.859 --> 00:00:50.719
about in a book that I'm sure we'll discuss at

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.759
some point. But, you know, I think that, you

00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.460
know, for a long time, I believe that I was my

00:00:57.460 --> 00:01:00.439
story. Right. I believe that the roles that I

00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:02.979
played, the success I had, the collapses, the

00:01:02.979 --> 00:01:07.400
failures. All of that stopped working. And what

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.439
I've learned is that I'm not my story. I'm the

00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.920
one that's telling it. And so, you know, I'm

00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.780
a new person today than I was yesterday. So today,

00:01:17.219 --> 00:01:20.219
I build businesses, I write, and I teach from

00:01:20.219 --> 00:01:25.140
a place of presence. You know, less performance,

00:01:25.620 --> 00:01:28.489
less proving, but more alignment. And so, you

00:01:28.489 --> 00:01:31.430
know, I hesitate to say I, you know, I am these

00:01:31.430 --> 00:01:34.510
things. I'm rather continuing to grow and be

00:01:34.510 --> 00:01:38.969
something new. So we're live on chatter social

00:01:38.969 --> 00:01:42.230
and Katya is in the room and Katya, I'm thinking

00:01:42.230 --> 00:01:46.569
that. I feel like Dylan's kind of up your alley

00:01:46.569 --> 00:01:48.650
too, so I would love to invite you to ask any

00:01:48.650 --> 00:01:51.890
questions. Help me host if you don't mind. I

00:01:51.890 --> 00:01:54.969
would love it. Do you mind? Do you have the time?

00:01:55.450 --> 00:01:57.810
Oh, I got a thumbs up. So what would be your

00:01:57.810 --> 00:02:07.150
first question to Dylan listening to that? Oh

00:02:07.150 --> 00:02:10.389
my, you have to excuse me. Dylan, would you mind

00:02:10.389 --> 00:02:15.849
repeating it? Sure. I was cooking. No problem.

00:02:17.330 --> 00:02:19.629
I'm throwing this on you so it makes sense. So

00:02:19.629 --> 00:02:22.629
thank you. Thank you. Yeah, no problem. You know,

00:02:22.710 --> 00:02:25.050
I think so what I said was I believe the long

00:02:25.050 --> 00:02:28.289
time for a long time that I was my story. Right.

00:02:28.330 --> 00:02:30.819
And I think we all. Have these things where we

00:02:30.819 --> 00:02:32.979
tell stories depending on how old we are. We

00:02:32.979 --> 00:02:37.840
tell stories about who we were and and even Even

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.039
you know what we've done right and and the roles

00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:44.560
that we've led the successes the failures Sometimes

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.900
they even date back or we we start, you know

00:02:46.900 --> 00:02:49.259
way far back when we're in high school or college

00:02:49.259 --> 00:02:52.520
You know, I was this and and I did that. Um,

00:02:52.620 --> 00:02:54.580
but at some point, you know that stopped working

00:02:54.580 --> 00:02:58.379
for me and so what I What I say now is I've learned

00:02:58.379 --> 00:03:03.020
from that story that I'm not that, that I'm the

00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:06.919
one that's telling this story about who I am

00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:11.520
right now and what I am doing. So today I build

00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:15.400
businesses, I write, and I teach from this place

00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.979
of presence, less proving who I am, but more

00:03:18.979 --> 00:03:25.139
alignment. Oh my God, Dylan, I love this. And

00:03:25.139 --> 00:03:30.240
we are so aligned in what we do, I think. I would

00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.759
say, would you say that you are now teaching

00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.860
and showing up from the scar and not from the

00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:43.800
wound? Absolutely. Yeah, I love that. And I actually

00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.699
say that quite a bit. When I learned that analogy,

00:03:47.340 --> 00:03:49.979
it's so profound, right? Because I think when

00:03:49.979 --> 00:03:53.340
we We have this tendency. Well, I'd let's say

00:03:53.340 --> 00:03:56.400
I I had this tendency to talk from this place

00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:00.159
of being hurt Right. It's it's from that wound

00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.539
and it's it's easy to fall into that trap Whether

00:04:03.539 --> 00:04:06.080
it's and I have listen I have tons of failures

00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.479
and I'm happy to talk about all of them probably

00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.900
the biggest one was was the failure of a business

00:04:11.900 --> 00:04:16.040
from um from really you know well what manifested

00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.980
was drinking and addiction where it came from

00:04:18.980 --> 00:04:22.120
though was from this loss and from this trauma

00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:26.839
of being abandoned um in in in some sense um

00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:31.399
as a child and and so And it took a long time

00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.220
for me to not talk about that, not feel just

00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:38.240
emotional and that well up that we have inside

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:42.160
of ourselves and talk from a place of hurt. But

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:47.300
once it does scar over, once we work on healing

00:04:47.300 --> 00:04:51.560
that and once we can get past that, then it becomes

00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:55.120
a scar. And I think it's beautiful that these

00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.920
scars make us who we are. They don't define us.

00:04:58.939 --> 00:05:01.839
So you won't hear me talk about it. Oh, woe is

00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.379
me and and and because I don't believe that.

00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.040
I mean, I wouldn't go back a minute and trade

00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.540
any of those experiences because it's it's it's

00:05:10.540 --> 00:05:12.899
futile, right? I think it's it's really we'd

00:05:12.899 --> 00:05:14.420
love to. On one hand, you're like, oh, yeah,

00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.420
well, I'd go back and design this perfect life.

00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.939
But then again, if I. What does that mean to

00:05:19.939 --> 00:05:22.759
be perfect? And then who would I be today? Well,

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.540
I wouldn't be having this discussion with both

00:05:24.540 --> 00:05:27.980
of you right now, for sure. Or if I was, then

00:05:27.980 --> 00:05:29.720
it would be a completely different discussion

00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:36.100
we're having. Oh, my God, that's so true. Adrian,

00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:39.500
you have brought someone really. I need to connect

00:05:39.500 --> 00:05:43.000
with you, Dylan. We need to connect. Absolutely.

00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:51.800
And yeah. You said an important thing. The things

00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:58.120
that happen to us do not define us. In a way,

00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.839
we have built ourselves through it, but when

00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:07.420
you learn to let go of the pain of it and just

00:06:07.420 --> 00:06:14.220
take with you the lesson, and that's it. And

00:06:14.220 --> 00:06:18.180
then to let go... That's freedom. That's freedom

00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:22.899
and that's That's your power you build power

00:06:22.899 --> 00:06:28.319
on that No wound just a scar telling the story,

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:36.300
but without being Kept in a cage of that emotional

00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:43.720
Of that emotional cage now you can help now you

00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:48.750
can help from another Standing point and that's

00:06:48.750 --> 00:06:52.529
powerful Dylan. That's very powerful. Yeah, you

00:06:52.529 --> 00:06:56.370
know, I just want to say I it's unbelievable

00:06:56.370 --> 00:06:59.310
how like life lines up right? Like I haven't

00:06:59.310 --> 00:07:01.490
been feeling good. So Dylan I've canceled like

00:07:01.490 --> 00:07:04.560
almost. almost three weeks of interviews. But

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.339
then today, I'm like, I want to do it, I want

00:07:07.339 --> 00:07:09.480
to do it live. And then for Katja to be in the

00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.279
room and Katja, could you introduce yourself?

00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.360
And then we have Shadow Fox, Stevie. Hi, Marion,

00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.100
I don't know you were recording live and the

00:07:17.100 --> 00:07:21.360
conversation, but like right away, I see that,

00:07:22.220 --> 00:07:25.000
what is it called? I like that, I think Coincadink,

00:07:25.139 --> 00:07:27.509
right? But there's so much more to it, so. I'd

00:07:27.509 --> 00:07:30.310
love to have this be like a roundtable conversation,

00:07:30.589 --> 00:07:32.649
because I think Katja is going to do a way better

00:07:32.649 --> 00:07:35.410
job of pulling information out of you than I

00:07:35.410 --> 00:07:38.990
would, and Shadow Fox too. So Katja, would you

00:07:38.990 --> 00:07:40.790
take a second to introduce yourself? And then

00:07:40.790 --> 00:07:43.110
I'm adding you to the show notes as a co -host,

00:07:43.269 --> 00:07:45.569
because I really appreciate this and definitely

00:07:45.569 --> 00:07:49.370
will connect you two together. So do you mind,

00:07:49.410 --> 00:07:51.110
Katja? Do you have time to introduce yourself?

00:07:52.490 --> 00:07:56.629
Of course, I don't mind it at all. So I'm a subconscious

00:07:56.629 --> 00:08:01.189
reprogramming expert. So what I do, what we were

00:08:01.189 --> 00:08:07.670
talking about, I help people rewire those old

00:08:07.670 --> 00:08:12.110
crystallized limiting beliefs that were created

00:08:12.110 --> 00:08:15.129
till the age of seven mostly, those are the most

00:08:15.129 --> 00:08:19.529
crystallized beliefs. And, you know, I work with

00:08:19.529 --> 00:08:25.519
high achieving people who look on the paper all

00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:29.519
well and settle, but inside they are crumbling.

00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:37.100
So I help them rewrite that part and become free.

00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:42.919
I help them to live from the scar, not from the

00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:48.289
wound. So that's it. Yeah, I wish I I wish we

00:08:48.289 --> 00:08:50.669
would have met 15 years ago. It would have been

00:08:50.669 --> 00:08:54.269
super helpful You know that story that you what

00:08:54.269 --> 00:08:59.210
you just said is so It is a hundred percent poignant

00:08:59.210 --> 00:09:02.429
for me because in essence what what happened

00:09:02.429 --> 00:09:05.879
to me and I Tell the story all the time. I was

00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:10.259
running an agency Advertising branding marketing

00:09:10.259 --> 00:09:13.860
agency super successful on paper, right? Everything

00:09:13.860 --> 00:09:18.279
was going for us You know staff of about 25 people

00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.759
wonderful beautiful staff members a great partner

00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:25.080
fantastic clients we won lots of awards making

00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.679
lots of money and Had a you know, have a beautiful

00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:34.429
wife beautiful children and yet Eroded myself

00:09:34.429 --> 00:09:38.230
on the inside. I mean in reality I remember standing

00:09:38.230 --> 00:09:40.990
up in my office one day and when all of this

00:09:40.990 --> 00:09:44.110
wonderful stuff was going on right and and because

00:09:44.110 --> 00:09:48.090
the key is I Hadn't addressed and I wasn't aware

00:09:48.090 --> 00:09:50.710
and I bring this word up awareness is so important

00:09:50.710 --> 00:09:54.129
to me I wasn't aware that I was dealing and had

00:09:54.129 --> 00:09:57.370
been dealing internally I packaged down these

00:09:57.370 --> 00:10:03.269
these aspects of my childhood into you know Compacted

00:10:03.269 --> 00:10:05.090
them into these little diamonds and forced them

00:10:05.090 --> 00:10:07.250
way down inside and didn't even know they existed

00:10:07.250 --> 00:10:10.289
and and asked myself this existential question

00:10:10.289 --> 00:10:13.230
It was like why am I why am I doing this? What

00:10:13.230 --> 00:10:17.129
is it for? And that's a scary question when all

00:10:17.129 --> 00:10:20.450
the stuff is great yet You know I and and I could

00:10:20.450 --> 00:10:24.970
see it, but I didn't feel it and and to me what

00:10:24.970 --> 00:10:28.759
was happening is I was realizing that that my

00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.399
work life was completely out of alignment with

00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.740
who I was. I was really good at it, but that

00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:36.960
didn't matter. And so it's, it's interesting

00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:40.120
that, that, that, and then that led to really

00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:42.419
complete downfall. I mean, it led to, you know,

00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:45.159
as, as, as I say, really blowing up everything

00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:49.000
because I didn't have someone like you and, or

00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:53.529
maybe I did. But the one thing that And I like

00:10:53.529 --> 00:10:55.809
to say now is reach outside, right, and look

00:10:55.809 --> 00:10:57.850
for those people that can help you, because I

00:10:57.850 --> 00:11:00.169
didn't. I didn't look to those people closest

00:11:00.169 --> 00:11:03.830
to me to help. And so it was really an interesting

00:11:03.830 --> 00:11:07.330
thing. And so then I spent the next 10 years

00:11:07.330 --> 00:11:10.470
rewiring and doing that internal work, trying

00:11:10.470 --> 00:11:13.429
to get to that place where I could feel comfortable

00:11:13.429 --> 00:11:16.149
with who I was and then be in alignment to build

00:11:16.149 --> 00:11:23.169
on that and build a new life for myself. Wow

00:11:23.169 --> 00:11:27.129
kudos to you kudos to you Dylan you did the work

00:11:27.129 --> 00:11:31.950
and listen 15 years ago. I Couldn't help you

00:11:31.950 --> 00:11:39.409
Almost I was actually physically dying Why it

00:11:39.409 --> 00:11:43.190
was you know physical illness is the last chain

00:11:43.190 --> 00:11:48.370
last link in the chain And I was there so actually

00:11:48.370 --> 00:11:54.379
I have I have built rebuilt again my identity

00:11:54.379 --> 00:11:59.139
to become someone who can help myself and now

00:11:59.139 --> 00:12:02.559
help others. So I think now is the perfect timing,

00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:05.779

00:13:10.289 --> 00:13:15.070
awareness. Yeah. And I, you know, like when it

It's really it's really lovely Dylan if you don't

00:14:18.509 --> 00:14:21.009
mind. I think it may go right ahead questions

00:14:21.009 --> 00:14:24.149
Sure. Okay. So first of all, I really meant it

00:14:24.149 --> 00:14:27.330
when I said I started by saying that Dylan has

00:14:27.330 --> 00:14:29.669
a really great face I mean like you could see

00:14:29.669 --> 00:14:33.379
it on the camera, but also It really like I've

00:14:33.379 --> 00:14:35.799
noticed all your pictures. So your coach a speaker

00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.500
and digital strategy So with everything we heard

00:14:39.500 --> 00:14:42.559
and I love having katya here and and actually

00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:46.399
asking some of those questions Um, so where are

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.919
you now? Like what is what is your goal? You?

00:14:48.980 --> 00:14:50.659
Oh, tell us about the seven mirrors actually.

00:14:50.659 --> 00:14:53.460
Let's let's learn about this your book Yeah,

00:14:53.460 --> 00:14:56.460
so, um, the seven mirrors is is a book about

00:14:56.460 --> 00:14:59.980
remembering yourself. Um, so I guess it started

00:14:59.980 --> 00:15:04.190
when um about eight months ago, I actually was,

00:15:04.190 --> 00:15:06.230
I don't know if you're familiar with the Temascale,

00:15:06.309 --> 00:15:09.320
the Temascale is an indigenous essentially it's

00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:12.519
a sweat lodge. And so I've spent a lot of time

00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:16.360
in and around indigenous culture in Mexico and

00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.899
in Costa Rica. And I was actually in the middle

00:15:20.899 --> 00:15:24.500
of the ceremony and the way that it is formatted

00:15:24.500 --> 00:15:26.460
is essentially it's a sweat lodge, right? So

00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:29.299
you go inside this kind of dome shaped tent and

00:15:29.299 --> 00:15:33.259
there's hot stones that are brought in and they

00:15:33.259 --> 00:15:35.980
call it four doors. So it's basically the doors

00:15:35.980 --> 00:15:38.539
open, they bring hot stones in, close the door,

00:15:38.700 --> 00:15:41.919
you're in there, there's messages that are spoken

00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:43.980
about, there's usually singing and chanting.

00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:47.779
And at one point, the doors were divided into

00:15:47.779 --> 00:15:51.059
these four sections, and they're meant to represent

00:15:51.059 --> 00:15:55.559
basically four phases of life. And so from 0

00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:59.460
to 13, from 13 to 26, and so on and so forth,

00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:06.110
we got to the last door, and And that's to 52.

00:16:06.929 --> 00:16:11.330
And they always would ask, who's basically inside

00:16:11.330 --> 00:16:14.610
this 15 -minute container? Who's represented

00:16:14.610 --> 00:16:18.830
here and I had never raised my hand and and um

00:16:18.830 --> 00:16:22.750
One pablo jp, um turn and said would you know

00:16:22.750 --> 00:16:24.929
dylan? How old are you and at the time I was

00:16:24.929 --> 00:16:28.610
54? And and he said oh brother. He said you're

00:16:28.610 --> 00:16:32.590
an abuelo and now abuelo in Spanish is grandfather,

00:16:32.590 --> 00:16:36.149
but it also in this meaning it means that it

00:16:36.149 --> 00:16:39.230
now is the phase of life when you teach and you

00:16:39.230 --> 00:16:42.179
know hit me profoundly because I'd only known

00:16:42.179 --> 00:16:45.460
JP for really a short period of time, maybe five

00:16:45.460 --> 00:16:48.100
or six months. And so we didn't really have this,

00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:50.919
you know, it was this intimate thing for him

00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:53.740
to tell me from someone it wouldn't be expected

00:16:53.740 --> 00:16:57.179
from. And I'd heard this from a couple of others

00:16:57.179 --> 00:17:00.940
in the past and what that and I followed up with

00:17:00.940 --> 00:17:04.480
him in a conversation afterwards. And what I

00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:07.059
started to understand is the importance as we

00:17:07.059 --> 00:17:12.319
get to a certain age. of really making sure that

00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:17.000
we may not think that we know a lot, but whatever

00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:20.559
we do think we do know, it's really our responsibility

00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:27.480
to teach. And so this came really on the heels

00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:30.640
of, like I said, about 10 years of some deep

00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.680
reflection and inner work. And I really looked

00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:37.019
at what is it that I've learned that I feel really

00:17:37.259 --> 00:17:40.119
That I feel is really important that I relate

00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:43.920
to anyone that wants to listen and and so One

00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:48.480
is that story of rebuilding my life? I've to

00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:50.839
have had a lot of experience in the plant medicine

00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:54.720
world and in rewiring my own nervous system and

00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:57.740
in coming to know myself and this manifested

00:17:57.740 --> 00:18:01.140
itself in inserting a you know journaling and

00:18:01.140 --> 00:18:04.180
a manuscript and what was born out of that was

00:18:04.180 --> 00:18:08.980
this idea of using And in this word mirrors is

00:18:08.980 --> 00:18:12.420
spoken a lot in those circles in the idea of

00:18:12.420 --> 00:18:16.400
of what's reflected to us through other people

00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:20.559
usually and what began to unfold or two things

00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:24.339
this idea of mirrors and and and The fact that

00:18:24.339 --> 00:18:26.480
when we meet someone and so the way I usually

00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:29.170
explain this is for instance you know when we're

00:18:29.170 --> 00:18:32.150
out at let's say a party or dinner or some event

00:18:32.150 --> 00:18:35.569
and we meet someone and and and there's a good

00:18:35.569 --> 00:18:37.670
note or you know there's a positive and negative

00:18:37.670 --> 00:18:39.589
side to this it's easier for some reason for

00:18:39.589 --> 00:18:42.430
me to relate this on the negative side but when

00:18:42.430 --> 00:18:45.369
someone usually triggers us right when when we

00:18:45.369 --> 00:18:47.289
meet someone we just can't figure out why i just

00:18:47.289 --> 00:18:49.490
don't like that person you know it's not even

00:18:49.490 --> 00:18:51.569
that they said really anything offensive it's

00:18:51.569 --> 00:18:55.640
just something about them 100 % of the time,

00:18:55.700 --> 00:18:57.759
there's something in that person. There's some

00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.440
attributes, some behavior, some personality trait

00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:04.960
that's reflected that's actually us, right? And

00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:10.140
so if we can learn what that is and not fend

00:19:10.140 --> 00:19:13.380
it off, not ignore it, but learn from that person,

00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:15.819
what is it about that person that triggered me,

00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:19.259
we can usually find that there's something in

00:19:19.259 --> 00:19:23.000
us that needs to be healed. And so the idea of

00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:26.160
these seven mirrors walks us through through

00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.019
just my own experiences and how I've found these

00:19:30.019 --> 00:19:33.759
things and begins to diagram out kind of a format

00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:36.400
to help. Well, it's something that I used in

00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:38.779
my own life to help me through that process and

00:19:38.779 --> 00:19:42.460
learn from it. And then the core kind of the

00:19:42.460 --> 00:19:45.119
byline to this is a guide to remembering yourself.

00:19:45.700 --> 00:19:49.680
So I also heard for many, many years this idea

00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.000
and you all are probably familiar with this this

00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:55.599
idea of of our higher self right we want to we

00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:58.279
want to get to a point where where we're in alignment

00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:00.259
with our higher self and something about that

00:20:00.259 --> 00:20:02.440
didn't really sit right with me because that

00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:05.460
implied that i'm a lower version of that and

00:20:05.460 --> 00:20:08.460
what i came to really realize is i believe that

00:20:08.460 --> 00:20:12.140
it's less about trying to to be a higher version

00:20:12.140 --> 00:20:15.039
of ourselves it's more about simply remembering

00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:19.079
who we really are and so when we're born we're

00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:22.609
perfect Right where we've just crossed over right

00:20:22.609 --> 00:20:25.390
and we're this perfect version of We already

00:20:25.390 --> 00:20:27.609
know in fact who we are going to be at that point

00:20:27.609 --> 00:20:30.509
i'm convinced of it But then the conditioning

00:20:30.509 --> 00:20:33.490
starts. It's natural no harm. No foul. No criticism

00:20:33.490 --> 00:20:35.450
to the world But it's just the way it is right

00:20:35.450 --> 00:20:38.250
our parents condition us culture condition us

00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:41.779
um society conditions us all these forces start

00:20:41.779 --> 00:20:44.680
to shape then and depending on our fortitude

00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:48.259
and in my case because i'm a pleaser and i'm

00:20:48.259 --> 00:20:52.079
a good adapter i i easily started to put on you

00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:55.720
know, metaphorical clothing, I started to bring

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:58.420
in armor and devices that would protect me from

00:20:58.420 --> 00:21:02.579
things. And I started to modify who I am. And

00:21:02.579 --> 00:21:04.640
so what I've really learned in the last, you

00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:08.059
know, five to 10 years is the idea is more about,

00:21:08.059 --> 00:21:12.289
you know, more about healing from those traumas,

00:21:12.529 --> 00:21:16.670
removing that armor, removing those heavy cloaks

00:21:16.670 --> 00:21:19.509
and things that we're wearing that change who

00:21:19.509 --> 00:21:24.890
we are and simply remembering who we are. and

00:21:24.890 --> 00:21:27.730
finding the beauty and the wonder in absolutely

00:21:27.730 --> 00:21:30.230
everything that we are. And so the book is really

00:21:30.230 --> 00:21:34.130
about that. It's a guide that's really led with,

00:21:34.329 --> 00:21:38.250
it's more meant to be somewhat of a memoir, but

00:21:38.250 --> 00:21:41.569
it's through the things that I remember and through

00:21:41.569 --> 00:21:44.490
the experiences that I have, this is how those

00:21:44.490 --> 00:21:46.890
things are manifested. And then I really also

00:21:46.890 --> 00:21:50.349
wanted it to be you know as much as possible

00:21:50.349 --> 00:21:52.309
look learn from these things you don't have to

00:21:52.309 --> 00:21:54.930
if you recognize these aspects in yourself that

00:21:54.930 --> 00:21:59.329
are that are some that You can compare to the

00:21:59.329 --> 00:22:01.809
experiences that i've had, you know Here's some

00:22:01.809 --> 00:22:04.089
things that that I wish I would have known 10

00:22:04.089 --> 00:22:06.750
years ago that would have helped me Um, maybe

00:22:06.750 --> 00:22:11.210
it would have saved me from some grief Take the

00:22:11.210 --> 00:22:15.539
mic Katya Katya Thank you, darling. So Dylan,

00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:18.099
I really think that we were separated at birth.

00:22:18.579 --> 00:22:23.180
So this is the first thing that I can tell. And

00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:26.460
I feel for sure purchase. Can you tell us where

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:29.720
we can purchase your book? That book seems so

00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:34.829
on point. Not yet. I'm finishing it. So I'm at

00:22:34.829 --> 00:22:37.849
the very end right now. Yeah, I'm in the last

00:22:37.849 --> 00:22:41.549
kind of editing phase. So my hope is that it

00:22:41.549 --> 00:22:45.250
will be ready in the spring. So I'll definitely

00:22:45.250 --> 00:22:47.869
stay in touch. And you can go to my website right

00:22:47.869 --> 00:22:49.829
now. And there's a link at the top for book.

00:22:50.710 --> 00:22:52.710
And one of the easiest ways to stay involved

00:22:52.710 --> 00:22:55.569
is just to give me your email address. And as

00:22:55.569 --> 00:22:58.529
soon as things are ready, I'm going to send out

00:22:58.529 --> 00:23:03.299
the first chapter. to everyone and also that

00:23:03.299 --> 00:23:07.099
way also I have a lot of content that goes out

00:23:07.099 --> 00:23:10.380
on a monthly basis that does kind of start to

00:23:10.380 --> 00:23:14.819
get into the book topics as well. Awesome, awesome.

00:23:15.259 --> 00:23:20.720
I have a question. So what is a story that you

00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:24.200
would choose now to tell us from your early career

00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:29.849
that now feels like a mirror you wish You'd seen

00:23:29.849 --> 00:23:35.029
back then Yeah, I think one of the I think you

00:23:35.029 --> 00:23:39.529
know a story is That I would tell is that I always

00:23:39.529 --> 00:23:43.369
believed well to to court things You know that

00:23:43.369 --> 00:23:45.910
it's easy for us to fall into that trap of lack.

00:23:46.549 --> 00:23:49.990
So You know very different belief I have today

00:23:49.990 --> 00:23:52.390
is it's there there's this abundance for all

00:23:52.390 --> 00:23:56.410
of us. So in my first business I believe that

00:23:56.410 --> 00:23:59.789
we were in a competition with everyone out there,

00:23:59.990 --> 00:24:02.470
that we were constantly in this state of we have

00:24:02.470 --> 00:24:06.069
to win everything. It's a zero sum game. And

00:24:06.069 --> 00:24:08.589
what I know now today is it's not. There's more

00:24:08.589 --> 00:24:11.829
than enough business to support literally every

00:24:11.829 --> 00:24:15.309
business out there. The key is to find the alignment

00:24:15.309 --> 00:24:17.789
pieces, right? The key is that I don't need to

00:24:17.789 --> 00:24:21.250
sell what I have. And sales really kind of a...

00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:23.740
a dirty word to me to some extent. I don't need

00:24:23.740 --> 00:24:27.079
to align with those people who are looking for

00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:30.599
something that I can provide them. I don't need

00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.339
everyone, right? It's more important that we

00:24:33.339 --> 00:24:36.119
find this true alignment, this partnership, that

00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:38.900
there's value exchanged in both directions. And

00:24:38.900 --> 00:24:40.640
so in that first business, you know, we were

00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:43.799
constantly, you know, I think in a state of suffering,

00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:45.960
right? Because we're constantly, if we weren't

00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.779
winning it, then we were losing. And and then

00:24:48.779 --> 00:24:51.160
you start to look at how that negatively impacts

00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:54.079
your psyche. And then along with that, right,

00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:56.339
there's this beautiful statement of that that

00:24:56.339 --> 00:24:58.700
I learned along the way of that the universe

00:24:58.700 --> 00:25:03.039
is happening for us, not to us. Right. So there's

00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:06.359
a really it's a small thing, but it's so profound

00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:09.960
when we start to realize is that every loss.

00:25:10.220 --> 00:25:13.180
is a message. There's a learning. There's a lesson

00:25:13.180 --> 00:25:17.259
in that loss. The same thing for every win. There's

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:19.960
a lesson in there. And so it's taking that forward

00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:24.299
and realizing that path wasn't necessarily for

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:28.279
me. Maybe it looked wonderful and sexy that I

00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:32.480
was going to win that opportunity. But in reality,

00:25:33.460 --> 00:25:36.740
it was in the not winning it that was more important

00:25:36.740 --> 00:25:39.160
for me to take that learning forward in my life.

00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.380
Dylan, I just want to say I'm enjoying this conversation.

00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:48.880
So we're live on Channer Social, which I mentioned,

00:25:48.940 --> 00:25:53.440
and it's a global app. So I am so excited to

00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:56.759
introduce you to probably one of the smartest

00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.220
human beings I know, and it's Jean -Paul. Jean

00:26:00.220 --> 00:26:02.279
-Paul, please take the mic. I'm so glad you're

00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:06.529
here. No, I appreciate that Adrian. Hello Dylan.

00:26:06.630 --> 00:26:08.789
It's a pleasure to hear your story and what you

00:26:08.789 --> 00:26:11.269
bring forth and what you just read my question

00:26:11.269 --> 00:26:16.230
to you is In your empirical observation through

00:26:16.230 --> 00:26:18.390
your client and and the people that you meet

00:26:18.390 --> 00:26:23.269
how do they Create or fall into this narrative

00:26:23.269 --> 00:26:26.750
of lack because we start you know as as children

00:26:26.750 --> 00:26:30.210
abundant and all of that What is what is your

00:26:30.210 --> 00:26:33.400
observation of how people? End up in that space

00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:36.079
where we're running and rushing after everything

00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:43.000
to try to fill that black Well, I think it doesn't

00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:45.180
help you know, I know we're global here and then

00:26:45.180 --> 00:26:47.539
I don't know about other countries But you know

00:26:47.539 --> 00:26:51.039
and they in the US right? I think that You know,

00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:53.640
and this is present now more than ever, you know

00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:58.099
this idea that we are our successes you know

00:26:58.099 --> 00:27:02.980
and and and It's this trap that we we've conditioned

00:27:02.980 --> 00:27:07.980
ourselves in society now to you know for instance

00:27:07.980 --> 00:27:10.220
I was thinking about this just yesterday and

00:27:10.220 --> 00:27:12.680
I'm in this was so profound this hit me now I'm

00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:16.059
the the husband of a wonderful woman Kimberly

00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:18.740
and and I'm the father of three but two of them

00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:21.880
are daughters and I thought You know what would

00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:25.380
make me? You know not more happy than anything

00:27:25.380 --> 00:27:28.180
in the world, but but I thought about this juxtaposition

00:27:28.180 --> 00:27:32.519
of Motherhood and and the importance of that

00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:35.140
and i'm not actually sure that there's any more

00:27:35.140 --> 00:27:41.359
important job. Then that and and and so that

00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:44.619
is an example right we we in the us i know you

00:27:44.619 --> 00:27:48.259
know we look at at women who don't. You know

00:27:48.259 --> 00:27:50.480
go out in the world and forge a path and that

00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:53.279
look that's fine there's no doubt it's wonderful

00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:56.079
and i know this is a huge topic but i looked

00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:58.559
at the importance of what what's happening now

00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:01.579
because culturally we play so little importance

00:28:01.579 --> 00:28:04.839
on motherhood and more rather more importance

00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:07.920
on people going out and being successful and

00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:12.619
having careers and jobs. The problem is, as we've

00:28:12.619 --> 00:28:15.019
seen, is what happens to the kids, right? And

00:28:15.019 --> 00:28:17.819
that's not to put all the pressure on mothers.

00:28:18.180 --> 00:28:20.779
Obviously, fathers have a huge role in that as

00:28:20.779 --> 00:28:24.559
well. But it hit me like a ton of bricks, right?

00:28:26.099 --> 00:28:29.160
And that's, I think, one small aspect. and that

00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:32.559
bleeds over into young boys as well, is that

00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:35.640
we, from the time, and look at it today, and

00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:38.380
this is a cliche, right? I mean, it's ever present

00:28:38.380 --> 00:28:40.759
in nearly every television show out there, right?

00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:46.059
This idea that we're deciding really the future

00:28:46.059 --> 00:28:49.829
of our kids before they're born. We have... You

00:28:49.829 --> 00:28:52.150
know, we're deciding what schools they go to

00:28:52.150 --> 00:28:55.569
and their pathway from from kindergarten is through

00:28:55.569 --> 00:28:58.009
this, you know, elementary school into this middle

00:28:58.009 --> 00:29:01.309
school into this. And I think about that as it

00:29:01.309 --> 00:29:04.210
relates to my own life. And it's like, I mean,

00:29:04.309 --> 00:29:07.630
if if I were to pre -design where I need to be

00:29:07.630 --> 00:29:10.490
in 10 years and not the direction isn't good

00:29:10.490 --> 00:29:14.750
because directions good, but but trying to format

00:29:14.750 --> 00:29:18.549
that in a specific way where it's rigid is not

00:29:18.549 --> 00:29:22.410
good. There's a great analogy, I love that. So

00:29:22.410 --> 00:29:24.009
whether you believe that we went to the moon

00:29:24.009 --> 00:29:26.450
or not is not important in this analogy. Let's

00:29:26.450 --> 00:29:28.490
assume that we did that and I know that's another

00:29:28.490 --> 00:29:31.690
topic. But the beauty of this analogy is when

00:29:31.690 --> 00:29:34.829
NASA decided to go to the moon, right, we'd never

00:29:34.829 --> 00:29:36.789
been there before. How in the world are we gonna

00:29:36.789 --> 00:29:41.490
get there? It's a bazillion miles away. And we've

00:29:41.490 --> 00:29:43.490
never done it before and technically we don't

00:29:43.490 --> 00:29:45.890
know how to do it. But what they understood is

00:29:45.890 --> 00:29:49.079
we don't have to know how to get there. But we

00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:51.440
need to know a couple things. Where we are today,

00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:55.000
where we desire to go, and then we simply need

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:58.400
to decide the next step, right? We need to, we

00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:01.200
need to decide on the next thousand meters. We

00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:03.900
need to decide, or another analogy is a flashlight

00:30:03.900 --> 00:30:07.000
in the dark, right? I don't need to know what

00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:09.440
is 50 yards out. I just need to know what's right

00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:11.099
in front of me. And the most important thing

00:30:11.099 --> 00:30:13.160
that I make, the most important decision I have

00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:16.519
to make is what is that next step to take? And

00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:19.750
so I think that There's some real great, profound

00:30:19.750 --> 00:30:29.029
information in that. Champal, any response? I

00:30:29.029 --> 00:30:31.430
really appreciate that. Thank you, Dylan, for

00:30:31.430 --> 00:30:33.769
that. The point that you make on motherhood is

00:30:33.769 --> 00:30:36.650
a very, very important one, I think. There is

00:30:36.650 --> 00:30:41.970
a relegation in modern culture to consider that

00:30:41.970 --> 00:30:44.690
a substandard for whatever reason, culturally

00:30:44.690 --> 00:30:48.509
speaking, from the past. It reminded me of a

00:30:48.509 --> 00:30:50.950
conversation I had with a young woman who was

00:30:50.950 --> 00:30:56.250
feeling down because her husband was claiming

00:30:56.250 --> 00:30:59.049
that she was not ambitious enough. And the more

00:30:59.049 --> 00:31:01.190
we started questioning into that, we realized

00:31:01.190 --> 00:31:04.410
that he was not living up to his ambitions. It

00:31:04.410 --> 00:31:07.130
was projecting it onto her when she was living

00:31:07.130 --> 00:31:09.309
the ambition that she had. She was successful.

00:31:09.529 --> 00:31:11.490
She wanted to be the wife. She wanted to have

00:31:11.490 --> 00:31:14.190
kids. She is the wife. She has the kids. She's

00:31:14.190 --> 00:31:16.609
living her dreams. She loves what she was doing.

00:31:17.490 --> 00:31:19.930
You don't need to take on that belief that you're

00:31:19.930 --> 00:31:21.509
not ambitious enough. You're actually the one

00:31:21.509 --> 00:31:24.109
successful. He's not the one living up to that.

00:31:24.450 --> 00:31:26.809
And when you bring forth that important part

00:31:26.809 --> 00:31:33.250
is motherhood is as valuable of a way of life,

00:31:33.529 --> 00:31:37.950
a way of being, a profession. And yeah, thank

00:31:37.950 --> 00:31:40.000
you for just... mentioning that I appreciate

00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.500
that yeah and that's I mean it's interesting

00:31:42.500 --> 00:31:44.500
right you just brought up the mirror the mirror

00:31:44.500 --> 00:31:48.539
aspect if he had recognized what he saw in her

00:31:48.539 --> 00:31:51.900
rather than rather than being resistant to it

00:31:51.900 --> 00:31:54.539
but in accepting it and saying and seeing in

00:31:54.539 --> 00:31:56.819
her the positive instead of the negative then

00:31:56.819 --> 00:31:59.779
that helps to inform him on what he needs doesn't

00:31:59.779 --> 00:32:02.519
like fix everything but it's an awareness right

00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:06.730
it's an awareness it says oh What I see is something

00:32:06.730 --> 00:32:09.589
that I want. So how can I make that happen in

00:32:09.589 --> 00:32:13.089
my own life? And I think that's just as important

00:32:13.089 --> 00:32:16.130
as seeing, you know, well, I mean, it's the difference

00:32:16.130 --> 00:32:18.150
between seeing the positive in it instead of

00:32:18.150 --> 00:32:23.650
seeing something that's negative. John Paul,

00:32:23.769 --> 00:32:27.690
thank you. Oh, go ahead. Go back to you, Adrian.

00:32:28.069 --> 00:32:30.529
No, I can't thank you enough. I mean, you pulled

00:32:30.529 --> 00:32:34.150
out some great information. Amazing. Welcome,

00:32:34.170 --> 00:32:38.630
Laura, to the stage. Excited to have you. So

00:32:38.630 --> 00:32:41.910
and Shadow Fox, if you want to take the mic at

00:32:41.910 --> 00:32:44.589
all, I feel like you have maybe some questions

00:32:44.589 --> 00:32:47.650
or you would add something to this conversation.

00:32:47.789 --> 00:32:52.549
I have a lot of respect for you. So so you are

00:32:52.549 --> 00:32:57.450
a leadership coach. So who? What is your niche

00:32:57.450 --> 00:33:02.289
market, Dylan, so I can understand? For the most

00:33:02.289 --> 00:33:05.970
part, what I'm doing right now is I'm running

00:33:05.970 --> 00:33:09.569
a business called Sunny HQ. It's on the other

00:33:09.569 --> 00:33:12.869
side of the brain. I'm using a lot of the things

00:33:12.869 --> 00:33:16.890
that we talked about to help inform me on how

00:33:16.890 --> 00:33:19.690
to be a better leader and how to build a more

00:33:19.690 --> 00:33:27.640
conscious company. White Glove Concierge WordPress

00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:32.079
hosting from end to end. How all of this starts

00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:35.079
to relate to that means that I built a business

00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:40.440
today that allows me to live a life where I know

00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:43.819
my family, right? So I don't work 12 hours a

00:33:43.819 --> 00:33:47.579
day for five, six days a week. I'm able to start

00:33:47.579 --> 00:33:50.650
to connect with the people around me. And then

00:33:50.650 --> 00:33:53.329
a big part of what I'm doing today is, is in

00:33:53.329 --> 00:33:56.309
writing this book, and then looking for the ways

00:33:56.309 --> 00:34:00.829
that I can share that information. So that in

00:34:00.829 --> 00:34:03.369
the past has been, before the book came, came

00:34:03.369 --> 00:34:07.190
to be, that's, that's been in kind of concierge

00:34:07.190 --> 00:34:09.769
-level hosting, or, excuse me, concierge -level

00:34:09.769 --> 00:34:13.170
coaching with, with leaderships, with leaders

00:34:13.170 --> 00:34:16.230
and with leadership groups. So helping essentially

00:34:16.230 --> 00:34:19.250
to, to uncover a lot of the aspects of of what

00:34:19.250 --> 00:34:23.170
we've discussed in business. One of the things

00:34:23.170 --> 00:34:26.090
that I learned after the downfall in my first

00:34:26.090 --> 00:34:28.690
business is that I really started to understand

00:34:28.690 --> 00:34:32.030
that I had one of the biggest problems was I

00:34:32.030 --> 00:34:35.849
had separated my personal life, had compartmentalized

00:34:35.849 --> 00:34:39.210
it from my business life, right? That the business

00:34:39.210 --> 00:34:42.389
was all important. The business was everything.

00:34:42.730 --> 00:34:46.619
And in reality, I mean, it's like, trying to

00:34:46.619 --> 00:34:48.940
drive a boat in two different directions at the

00:34:48.940 --> 00:34:54.000
same time. It just won't work. And so what I

00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:59.219
do is try to teach leaders and introduce into

00:34:59.219 --> 00:35:04.820
teams that idea that we are humans, right? And

00:35:04.820 --> 00:35:08.860
this is so, I guess, much more relative today

00:35:08.860 --> 00:35:12.519
with regard to AI, because I get asked this question

00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:16.000
a lot, is how is AI affecting business? The important

00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:18.500
thing to understand with AI is that it's a tool.

00:35:18.980 --> 00:35:23.679
And so it can help us actually take, it can take

00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:26.559
away a lot of the aspects of our business that

00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:30.380
are mundane, that take away our time. So I can

00:35:30.380 --> 00:35:33.340
essentially boil down many tasks and things that

00:35:33.340 --> 00:35:35.519
would literally take four or five, six hours

00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:38.980
of my time into minutes. And that allows me not

00:35:38.980 --> 00:35:42.300
to work more, right? But that allows me to be

00:35:42.300 --> 00:35:45.639
available more for my family. And so those are

00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:47.639
some of the principles that I try to take into

00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:51.900
business. And what I learned early on when I

00:35:51.900 --> 00:35:53.739
started this new business, one of the things

00:35:53.739 --> 00:35:56.380
I took actually from Google, I love this aspect.

00:35:56.780 --> 00:35:58.880
And I have not worked for Google, but this is

00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:01.780
a story that I read that Google allowed for like

00:36:01.780 --> 00:36:06.860
30 % of their. So let me make a small point.

00:36:07.340 --> 00:36:11.349
When I ran my first business, I tried to. Eek

00:36:11.349 --> 00:36:14.690
out every hour of every day if not just for me

00:36:14.690 --> 00:36:17.349
but from employees it's natural right we wanna

00:36:17.349 --> 00:36:20.929
if we're working harder and we're producing more

00:36:20.929 --> 00:36:24.449
than we make more money and that's very one dimensional

00:36:24.449 --> 00:36:27.489
right we also done that now it's not sustainable

00:36:27.489 --> 00:36:29.889
because what's gonna happen from that is you're

00:36:29.889 --> 00:36:32.150
gonna you're gonna break down your employees

00:36:32.150 --> 00:36:34.409
are gonna break down we can't sustain this level.

00:36:35.089 --> 00:36:37.769
And and when I heard this from Google, it was

00:36:37.769 --> 00:36:40.130
interesting. It's they allowed for this opportunity

00:36:40.130 --> 00:36:43.050
of about 30 % of the time is like mandated. And

00:36:43.050 --> 00:36:44.590
I don't know if this is still the case, but it

00:36:44.590 --> 00:36:48.010
was 10 years ago that that if let's say employee

00:36:48.010 --> 00:36:51.409
worked, you know, 40 hours a week, then you know.

00:36:51.630 --> 00:36:54.889
12 hours of that was supposed to be like freebie

00:36:54.889 --> 00:36:59.150
time for them to just expand on and pursue something

00:36:59.150 --> 00:37:01.449
that they were interested in, whether related

00:37:01.449 --> 00:37:04.469
to work or not. And in fact, some incredible

00:37:04.469 --> 00:37:06.710
things came out of that. Google Maps came out

00:37:06.710 --> 00:37:09.449
of that. And what that told me, though, is kind

00:37:09.449 --> 00:37:13.329
of twofold. It was like, one, that can have a

00:37:13.329 --> 00:37:16.659
really positive effect on the business. because

00:37:16.659 --> 00:37:18.699
it might develop a product that the business

00:37:18.699 --> 00:37:21.400
is never aware of, but at very least what it's

00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:26.780
going to do is allow people the freedom to be

00:37:26.780 --> 00:37:29.619
more relaxed in their environment and be better

00:37:29.619 --> 00:37:33.039
producers even inside the less amount of time.

00:37:33.699 --> 00:37:36.300
And to me, it was very easy for me to see because

00:37:36.300 --> 00:37:38.599
I was like, well, if I'm going to spend a third

00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:41.800
of my time reading a book, then I'm definitely

00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:44.679
going to be happier when I talk to a client or

00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:47.420
happy. when I do the design work or develop that

00:37:47.420 --> 00:37:50.420
project. And so it was very obvious in that environment.

00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:52.739
And so that's, those are some of the things that

00:37:52.739 --> 00:37:55.960
I try to take to, to these groups is, is, is,

00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:59.360
and we work through, I've, I've developed a format

00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:02.119
out of the book that is, that probably will be

00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:04.619
a second book about leadership as I've started

00:38:04.619 --> 00:38:06.659
to encapsulate that and bring that to kind of

00:38:06.659 --> 00:38:10.300
a platform. But that's, that's what I do in the

00:38:10.300 --> 00:38:14.409
coaching world. I love it. I love it. So we have

00:38:14.409 --> 00:38:16.730
two questions. We have Shadow Fox first and then

00:38:16.730 --> 00:38:21.670
Katja again. So Shadow Fox, take it away. Dylan,

00:38:21.989 --> 00:38:25.670
you know, this is phenomenal what you're really

00:38:25.670 --> 00:38:29.489
bringing forward to the people. Simply because

00:38:29.489 --> 00:38:32.289
whether you're looking at business or you're

00:38:32.289 --> 00:38:35.510
looking at your life, there really has to be

00:38:35.510 --> 00:38:38.110
like that happy medium. You've got to be in the

00:38:38.110 --> 00:38:45.719
flow with both. What I've noticed is that businesses

00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:50.400
that are shifting to the aspect of that heart

00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:55.280
-based, recognizing, giving respect, whether

00:38:55.280 --> 00:39:00.260
to the employees or even to the clientele. For

00:39:00.260 --> 00:39:04.960
instance, I have a neighbor he is a multimillionaire

00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:11.519
and This guy is angry and miserable and he Talks

00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:14.460
to everybody like they're you know, these lower

00:39:14.460 --> 00:39:18.019
-class citizens, you know, but yet he has a ton

00:39:18.019 --> 00:39:23.699
of money and so I mean even the even the uh energy

00:39:23.699 --> 00:39:29.519
that he puts out is it's toxic and um it's kind

00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:32.079
of like i really wish i mean i would love to

00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:36.099
get your book and send it to him you know and

00:39:36.099 --> 00:39:40.139
and and no seriously because one of the things

00:39:40.139 --> 00:39:44.760
i also believe um is that if you're looking at

00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:47.880
you know becoming a leader in any capacity whether

00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:52.559
it's business or even being a parent that In

00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:56.900
one aspect you learn to follow first what does

00:39:56.900 --> 00:40:00.599
it feel like to be on the back end and then don't

00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:04.559
treat everybody else the way you were treated

00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:09.320
so to speak right on. Because once we step into

00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:13.280
that heart -based aspect then we open up into

00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:17.739
the flow We we really do and so I'm just I'm

00:40:17.739 --> 00:40:22.519
really enjoying listening to you speak and And

00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:25.539
my husband and I also have we do have a book

00:40:25.539 --> 00:40:28.880
out and it's pretty much in the same Alignment

00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:31.780
for what you're bringing forward. But again mine

00:40:31.780 --> 00:40:38.719
is based within the realm of energy Yeah, that's

00:40:38.719 --> 00:41:02.219
beautiful. And if you're speaking, we are not

00:41:02.219 --> 00:41:05.940
hearing. Katya, thank you. I was on mute. Thank

00:41:05.940 --> 00:41:09.840
you so much. I was saying that you would be perfect

00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:13.539
here on ChatterSocial because ShadowFox does

00:41:13.539 --> 00:41:16.659
teaching, Jean -Paul does rooms, Katya does room,

00:41:16.860 --> 00:41:19.880
Laura's in the room does rooms. So definitely

00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:23.539
want you to take a look at ChatterSocial. But

00:41:23.539 --> 00:41:27.079
Katya, thank you for recognizing that I was unmiked.

00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:29.639
And take the mic, please. I know you have a question,

00:41:29.679 --> 00:41:35.170
so I would love to hear it. Thank you. So we

00:41:35.170 --> 00:41:39.550
all know that behind, you know, badges, behind

00:41:39.550 --> 00:41:44.269
roles, there are humans. And that's very important

00:41:44.269 --> 00:41:49.170
to know. But I have a question for you. How can

00:41:49.170 --> 00:41:54.230
someone tell if they are protecting their identity

00:41:54.230 --> 00:41:58.230
instead of serving what the business actually

00:41:58.230 --> 00:42:07.690
needs? You know, I think, and this is my answer

00:42:07.690 --> 00:42:10.710
for a lot of things these days, is that, you

00:42:10.710 --> 00:42:14.969
know, and you, I guess, this was just brought

00:42:14.969 --> 00:42:18.329
up in that it's more about feeling that it is

00:42:18.329 --> 00:42:24.599
thinking. You know, I think that... We've got

00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:28.219
to move out of and I spent so many years in my

00:42:28.219 --> 00:42:31.760
head Because our brains are these beautiful things,

00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:34.880
right? The assumption is is that our brain is

00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:38.320
who we are and in reality the brain is just an

00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:41.280
organ like every other organ it has a singular

00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:44.719
purpose and that singular purpose is to solve

00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:48.360
problems and Once I started to understand this

00:42:48.360 --> 00:42:51.960
I became really It was a little bit scary, because

00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:54.099
I started to ask myself the question of, well,

00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:56.920
if I'm not what I'm thinking, then what am I?

00:42:57.780 --> 00:43:02.000
But the part about that is that if the brain

00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:04.920
is not given a problem to solve, then it's going

00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:08.639
to come up with its own problems. And so there's

00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:14.179
a trap therein. And so moving more from that

00:43:14.179 --> 00:43:17.920
thinking side into the feeling, and that's really

00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:22.619
a guide a guide point for me today is if before

00:43:22.619 --> 00:43:26.079
I make any decision, and I love to practice this,

00:43:26.300 --> 00:43:28.239
and I still fall into it all the time where I

00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:30.199
start to make a decision, I'm like, wait a minute.

00:43:31.699 --> 00:43:35.900
And I've even developed some questions for myself

00:43:35.900 --> 00:43:39.159
to ask myself if it's in alignment with the key

00:43:39.159 --> 00:43:44.960
though is does it feel right? So if the decision

00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:48.539
feels right, And truly starting to understand

00:43:48.539 --> 00:43:51.500
what that means to feel that literally in your

00:43:51.500 --> 00:43:55.639
body some simple things are Are using muscle

00:43:55.639 --> 00:43:57.739
testing and if people aren't aware of what muscle

00:43:57.739 --> 00:43:59.820
testing is I would just do some you know Google

00:43:59.820 --> 00:44:01.980
what muscle testing There's some really simple

00:44:01.980 --> 00:44:04.679
things one of the easiest is to stand upright

00:44:04.679 --> 00:44:08.630
Just well balanced and ask yourself the question,

00:44:08.650 --> 00:44:10.690
and this is a fun thing that people can do right

00:44:10.690 --> 00:44:15.050
now, is just stand up and just ask a question.

00:44:15.349 --> 00:44:18.369
A yes or no has to be a yes or no question. And

00:44:18.369 --> 00:44:20.429
some easy things, if you don't know, you know,

00:44:20.530 --> 00:44:23.449
necessarily what to ask, you know, ask some of

00:44:23.449 --> 00:44:26.369
these global questions. Simply say war and peace

00:44:26.369 --> 00:44:30.409
or love or hate, right? Meaning if you say the

00:44:30.409 --> 00:44:33.010
word love, watch your body, your body will lean

00:44:33.010 --> 00:44:36.429
forward. If you say hate, your body will lean

00:44:36.429 --> 00:44:40.289
backwards. And the same thing with war and peace.

00:44:41.110 --> 00:44:44.050
And you can ask yourself these questions out

00:44:44.050 --> 00:44:48.530
loud. And it's really amazing. I still try to

00:44:48.530 --> 00:44:50.829
trick myself all the time, because if I really

00:44:50.829 --> 00:44:55.250
want one thing over another, it involves becoming

00:44:55.250 --> 00:44:57.250
kind of aware of where your body is and being

00:44:57.250 --> 00:45:00.090
still in that moment. But it's interesting, once

00:45:00.090 --> 00:45:03.030
you learn that your body doesn't lie, your head

00:45:03.030 --> 00:45:05.449
does all the time, because you're in it. And

00:45:05.449 --> 00:45:09.289
let me, I guess, just clarify that your head

00:45:09.289 --> 00:45:11.769
isn't lying, necessarily, right, your head doesn't

00:45:11.769 --> 00:45:15.170
really care what the answer is, is choosing based

00:45:15.170 --> 00:45:17.170
on a lot of different variables and factors.

00:45:17.550 --> 00:45:21.070
And so your body, though, has a true awareness

00:45:21.070 --> 00:45:24.769
of what what your soul what your what your entire

00:45:24.769 --> 00:45:28.690
embodied, you know, spirit wants, and it's going

00:45:28.690 --> 00:45:31.150
to help you. point you in the right direction

00:45:31.150 --> 00:45:35.789
by that answer. That's how I really start to

00:45:35.789 --> 00:45:38.369
look at that and answer some of those questions

00:45:38.369 --> 00:45:44.230
for myself. That's perfect, Dylan. Let me tell

00:45:44.230 --> 00:45:48.210
you that because this is something that I do

00:45:48.210 --> 00:45:53.150
with my clients all the time. That's a testing

00:45:53.150 --> 00:45:59.150
and many people do not know that body is connected

00:45:59.150 --> 00:46:04.429
to the subconscious mind. So the body will tell

00:46:04.429 --> 00:46:08.829
you the truth while mind will just keep up with

00:46:08.829 --> 00:46:14.650
it, just trying to make sense of it. Yeah, yeah.

00:46:15.030 --> 00:46:17.530
Sometimes I don't sometimes I don't think I want

00:46:17.530 --> 00:46:19.429
to know the answer. It's funny. I'll sit with

00:46:19.429 --> 00:46:23.139
something. I don't have a good example right

00:46:23.139 --> 00:46:25.159
now, but I'll sit with something and know it.

00:46:25.260 --> 00:46:27.480
It's in the back of my head. Something I also

00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:30.960
like to do is talk to myself out loud more these

00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:35.539
days. But I'll sit and maybe three days ago by

00:46:35.539 --> 00:46:38.179
why don't you just stand up and ask that question?

00:46:38.219 --> 00:46:41.019
The answer is there. Um, and it's an interesting

00:46:41.019 --> 00:46:43.420
thing. It's going to sound weird. You know, I

00:46:43.420 --> 00:46:44.679
mean, there's some people out there listening

00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:46.559
right now. They're like, yeah, I get it. And

00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:48.079
there's others like, that's the weirdest thing

00:46:48.079 --> 00:46:50.820
I've ever heard. It takes practice, right? But

00:46:50.820 --> 00:46:53.340
once you, once you get it, um, or maybe some

00:46:53.340 --> 00:46:55.179
of you've been to your practitioner out there,

00:46:55.179 --> 00:46:57.719
like you said, Katia, that, um, where you practice

00:46:57.719 --> 00:47:00.739
that, um, it's interesting how much, if you can

00:47:00.739 --> 00:47:03.559
have an ailment in your body and if you're working

00:47:03.559 --> 00:47:05.800
with the right person, they can use muscle testing

00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:08.630
and they can find out where that. where that's

00:47:08.630 --> 00:47:11.510
coming from. And once you experience it a couple

00:47:11.510 --> 00:47:14.309
times and it's undeniable, then you'll go, okay,

00:47:14.349 --> 00:47:16.070
well, maybe there's maybe there's something to

00:47:16.070 --> 00:47:19.230
this. And but I can I can attest to it. It's

00:47:19.230 --> 00:47:21.690
100 % of the time, if I truly want to know the

00:47:21.690 --> 00:47:23.909
answer to something, and I'm willing and receptive

00:47:23.909 --> 00:47:27.190
and open to it, if I simply stand up and do that,

00:47:27.449 --> 00:47:29.750
do that muscle testing, it's it's interesting.

00:47:30.110 --> 00:47:32.010
And then I have to have a willingness to move

00:47:32.010 --> 00:47:34.230
forward with it, right, then it's it's it's all

00:47:34.230 --> 00:47:36.449
up to me to do something with that information.

00:47:38.730 --> 00:47:40.630
I am loving this. We have two more questions.

00:47:40.809 --> 00:47:43.909
We have, thank you, Katja. We have Marianne and

00:47:43.909 --> 00:47:46.110
then we'll go back to Jean -Paul. Marianne, take

00:47:46.110 --> 00:47:56.190
the mic. Hi, Dylan. Nice to hear you here. Thank

00:47:56.190 --> 00:47:59.829
you. I'm not a worker in this field. I'm just

00:47:59.829 --> 00:48:04.280
an artist who loves to work with. feelings and

00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:08.820
emotions. And that's also my question. And I

00:48:08.820 --> 00:48:10.739
love it that you have been in the Sweat Lodge.

00:48:11.239 --> 00:48:13.619
I've been several times in the Sweat Lodge and

00:48:13.619 --> 00:48:19.179
it's very helpful, very, very helpful. What I

00:48:19.179 --> 00:48:22.420
like the most from the Sweat Lodge is that you

00:48:22.420 --> 00:48:30.760
can help each other so much in the energy. Keeping

00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:36.239
to sit up, but I want I wanted to know How you

00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:41.320
make the difference between? feelings and emotions

00:48:41.320 --> 00:48:47.760
You know, I think that um You know, those things

00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:52.480
are so closely related, right? And and you know,

00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:55.789
I guess to me The feeling is the manifestation

00:48:55.789 --> 00:49:00.510
of what that emotion is. And the exploration

00:49:00.510 --> 00:49:05.230
of what that actually means is important. So

00:49:05.230 --> 00:49:10.869
meaning, if I'm feeling angry about something,

00:49:11.030 --> 00:49:16.849
maybe it's because I'm scared. And so trying

00:49:16.849 --> 00:49:19.050
to, and this, I guess, leads me to something

00:49:19.050 --> 00:49:23.119
that's really important to me, that idea of the

00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:26.619
difference between reaction and response. And

00:49:26.619 --> 00:49:31.119
that idea that as it relates to even my own,

00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:33.840
I guess, understanding of who I am and what I'm

00:49:33.840 --> 00:49:37.099
going through, that especially as it relates

00:49:37.099 --> 00:49:42.039
to the world outside me. So that idea of if I

00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:47.320
react instantly to that anger, then 10 times

00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:49.760
out of 10, I'm going to make a bad decision.

00:49:50.519 --> 00:49:54.989
But if I take a breath, and take a moment and

00:49:54.989 --> 00:49:59.389
give myself an opportunity to respond. So whether

00:49:59.389 --> 00:50:01.889
that's an internal response, that then helps

00:50:01.889 --> 00:50:05.670
me get to the emotion and what's underlying from

00:50:05.670 --> 00:50:09.849
that feeling. And so that's something I take

00:50:09.849 --> 00:50:13.230
to me and still it's a practice. I gotta say,

00:50:13.570 --> 00:50:15.849
I'd like to really underscore everything I'm

00:50:15.849 --> 00:50:19.449
saying with, I'm by no means perfect or even

00:50:19.449 --> 00:50:22.559
close to it at any of this. it. But I love to

00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:24.579
talk about this stuff, because it helps me hold

00:50:24.579 --> 00:50:28.880
myself accountable. And there's this beauty,

00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:33.260
once we learn to, to respond, instead of react.

00:50:33.780 --> 00:50:37.480
And I heard this once, and I think about this

00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:40.420
all the time, that, and I think everyone can

00:50:40.420 --> 00:50:43.500
relate to this. Practice this the next time you're

00:50:43.500 --> 00:50:46.159
triggered in a situation, or at least be aware

00:50:46.159 --> 00:50:48.360
of it, and it'll help lead you to a practice

00:50:48.360 --> 00:50:52.719
of When we react to something, so the first thing

00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:55.559
we say, right? That instantaneous thing that

00:50:55.559 --> 00:50:58.980
we say that snap back is never the right thing

00:50:58.980 --> 00:51:01.000
to say. But you know, it's interesting is the

00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:05.500
second thing that we say is exactly how we really

00:51:05.500 --> 00:51:09.340
feel and and is a response. And so the trick

00:51:09.340 --> 00:51:12.789
is that's why I say it. Take a breath. The trick

00:51:12.789 --> 00:51:15.650
is it in light of and i'm saying in that in the

00:51:15.650 --> 00:51:18.369
crunch time, you know And in that last moment

00:51:18.369 --> 00:51:21.090
when someone says something and where we haven't

00:51:21.090 --> 00:51:23.710
we're not quite at an argument yet But but someone

00:51:23.710 --> 00:51:26.909
says something that really digs in The importance

00:51:26.909 --> 00:51:30.829
is if I take a breath and allow myself that that

00:51:30.829 --> 00:51:35.150
that moment to respond Um, then who I really

00:51:35.150 --> 00:51:37.889
am and the true emotion behind what I really

00:51:37.889 --> 00:51:40.969
want to communicate is going to be felt um, not

00:51:41.150 --> 00:51:44.269
you know, not the feeling side of it, not that

00:51:44.269 --> 00:51:48.070
raw reaction side of it. And so it's something

00:51:48.070 --> 00:51:51.949
that I really try to remind myself regularly

00:51:51.949 --> 00:51:54.750
because there's this beauty that can be found.

00:51:55.010 --> 00:51:56.829
And you know what, you can save yourself so much

00:51:56.829 --> 00:52:00.789
time and grief if you learn to respond to everything

00:52:00.789 --> 00:52:07.369
in your life instead of react. Marianne, that

00:52:07.369 --> 00:52:10.510
was a great question. What a response. Wow. Did

00:52:10.510 --> 00:52:13.789
you have... Marianne, before we go to Jean -Paul,

00:52:13.849 --> 00:52:19.550
did you want to respond? Yeah, I love the response.

00:52:20.329 --> 00:52:24.989
I think we can sometimes mix up the words emotion

00:52:24.989 --> 00:52:30.269
and feelings, because emotions are very... Well,

00:52:30.349 --> 00:52:36.389
emotions come from the mind. from the ideas that

00:52:36.389 --> 00:52:42.989
we have from our earlier experiences. So, well,

00:52:43.170 --> 00:52:48.590
I was looking where is your field of that? Personally,

00:52:48.769 --> 00:52:54.849
I would bind feelings also to the energy between

00:52:54.849 --> 00:52:57.889
the people. But that's not the topic, I think.

00:52:58.489 --> 00:53:04.849
Yeah, absolutely. I agree. Absolutely. Oh, my

00:53:04.849 --> 00:53:07.269
gosh. And Dylan, I got to be honest with you.

00:53:07.269 --> 00:53:09.929
I don't think I would have had this. I know I

00:53:09.929 --> 00:53:12.610
wouldn't have. I would not have been able to

00:53:12.610 --> 00:53:16.449
carry this interview if it wasn't for Katya,

00:53:16.510 --> 00:53:18.829
Shanna Fox, Jean Paul is next, and Mary Ann.

00:53:19.150 --> 00:53:22.070
And it's crazy because it's not like they always

00:53:22.070 --> 00:53:24.989
come into the room. So as I said in the beginning,

00:53:25.050 --> 00:53:27.929
this is incredible. Jean Paul, we'll have you

00:53:27.929 --> 00:53:31.449
ask the last question. And take it away, please.

00:53:31.530 --> 00:53:38.920
And thank you. Well, I really appreciate everything

00:53:38.920 --> 00:53:41.619
you've been sharing Dylan. We definitely have

00:53:41.619 --> 00:53:45.039
similar pathways on how we experience things

00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:48.039
and how we go through that. I wanted to comment

00:53:48.039 --> 00:53:51.000
on and have your thoughts on that. You mentioned

00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:56.179
earlier on how you use muscles testing and one

00:53:56.179 --> 00:53:58.900
of the things that's very important in that is

00:53:58.900 --> 00:54:03.139
do I even want to know that answer? And I think

00:54:03.139 --> 00:54:07.590
that's a very critical piece there because like

00:54:07.590 --> 00:54:12.489
I I'm as a practitioner as a coach I use the

00:54:12.489 --> 00:54:15.510
mind body relationship, but I go mine first That's

00:54:15.510 --> 00:54:17.889
my approach towards it, but we recognize it's

00:54:17.889 --> 00:54:19.710
in contrast and all of that but there's a way

00:54:19.710 --> 00:54:23.230
to go from the mind down there and Every times

00:54:23.230 --> 00:54:26.389
my client tells me I don't know When I'm asking

00:54:26.389 --> 00:54:28.829
them a question, it's not that they don't know

00:54:28.829 --> 00:54:31.309
the answer is right there. They don't want to

00:54:31.309 --> 00:54:35.550
see it and Don't know if that's the case in your

00:54:35.550 --> 00:54:37.730
observation and I'd be curious about that but

00:54:37.730 --> 00:54:40.989
almost every single time with my clients is that

00:54:40.989 --> 00:54:45.150
There's a self -preserving or self -protection.

00:54:45.150 --> 00:54:49.010
That is why they say they don't want to see it

00:54:49.010 --> 00:54:52.230
Yeah, you know and I think for me it might be

00:54:52.230 --> 00:54:56.550
I totally agree first of all But maybe well for

00:54:56.550 --> 00:54:59.570
me, maybe it's not that I don't want to see it

00:54:59.610 --> 00:55:02.809
What I think I'm really starting to understand

00:55:02.809 --> 00:55:07.989
from all of my work is that I'm not ready to

00:55:07.989 --> 00:55:15.349
see it. I'm not ready to work through. There's

00:55:15.349 --> 00:55:19.309
this key difference between awareness and integration.

00:55:19.550 --> 00:55:23.030
Right. So I can, if I become aware of something,

00:55:23.070 --> 00:55:25.869
but I'm not ready to integrate it, I'm not ready

00:55:25.869 --> 00:55:29.849
to actually do something about it. Um, then it's

00:55:29.849 --> 00:55:33.369
not that it's not valuable, but, um, that depending

00:55:33.369 --> 00:55:35.489
on what the situation is and what it is that

00:55:35.489 --> 00:55:38.389
I'm presented with, it could, you know, I could,

00:55:38.429 --> 00:55:41.429
it could bring up thoughts of fear, um, anxiety.

00:55:41.550 --> 00:55:45.889
And so You know, in my earlier example, you know,

00:55:45.889 --> 00:55:49.530
I think it was somewhat of just a trite. I don't

00:55:49.530 --> 00:55:52.230
think I'm ready to do that yet. Or maybe I don't

00:55:52.230 --> 00:55:53.690
want to know the answer. Maybe I want to hold

00:55:53.690 --> 00:55:56.769
myself hostage, right, to some extent to self

00:55:56.769 --> 00:55:59.630
sabotaging side. But I think I'm really coming

00:55:59.630 --> 00:56:03.570
to understand more that it's and I've learned

00:56:03.570 --> 00:56:07.590
some of this through plant medicine is that I

00:56:07.590 --> 00:56:11.070
can know something. You know i can know something

00:56:11.070 --> 00:56:15.150
in my head but if i don't truly understand it

00:56:15.150 --> 00:56:17.449
then i don't really know what to do with that

00:56:17.449 --> 00:56:19.989
information and they can and they can drive me

00:56:19.989 --> 00:56:22.389
in a different direction that maybe and so maybe

00:56:22.389 --> 00:56:25.960
that's. That's what that's about, right? And

00:56:25.960 --> 00:56:27.860
maybe that's exactly what you're saying, where

00:56:27.860 --> 00:56:31.460
it's like, I'm not ready for it. I will be. And

00:56:31.460 --> 00:56:33.760
at the point, and I'm giving myself a lot of

00:56:33.760 --> 00:56:36.579
grace these days. It's interesting. I used to

00:56:36.579 --> 00:56:38.599
think I've got to do, do, do. I've got to get

00:56:38.599 --> 00:56:42.460
everything done. And what I've learned in the

00:56:42.460 --> 00:56:45.980
last 10 years is we're never done. And it's more

00:56:45.980 --> 00:56:48.460
important that rather looking for that kind of

00:56:48.460 --> 00:56:51.920
that... That in chapter right looking for that

00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:55.420
goal that that i'm just really enjoying every

00:56:55.420 --> 00:56:59.159
piece of Of you know of the turmoil that I go

00:56:59.159 --> 00:57:02.199
through of the successes that I have Um, and

00:57:02.199 --> 00:57:05.320
so in the in the when i'm ready to realize that

00:57:05.320 --> 00:57:07.159
thing and my wife I know points this out all

00:57:07.159 --> 00:57:08.780
the time. It's like how could you not figure

00:57:08.780 --> 00:57:10.780
that out? I was like, maybe i'm not ready to

00:57:10.780 --> 00:57:13.539
figure it out yet. Um, and maybe I need to be

00:57:13.539 --> 00:57:17.019
okay with with not you know with just simply

00:57:17.340 --> 00:57:20.400
Be okay with not understanding it at this point

00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:29.500
and not being confused. That's an interesting

00:57:29.500 --> 00:57:32.619
way to see it. I know that in my world, awareness

00:57:32.619 --> 00:57:37.019
is key. And even being aware of something that

00:57:37.019 --> 00:57:40.199
you cannot do anything about it, just that awareness

00:57:40.199 --> 00:57:43.159
and accepting. For me, that's the difference.

00:57:43.300 --> 00:57:47.119
It's accepting that... I'm not ready to do anything

00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:50.019
about it, but at least I know it's there. I can.

00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:52.480
Oh, a hundred percent. Yeah. Which is very different

00:57:52.480 --> 00:57:56.420
from I'm hiding from it and it's, it's doing

00:57:56.420 --> 00:57:58.940
things in my life without me having any control

00:57:58.940 --> 00:58:01.300
over it. And, and, and that's where a lot of

00:58:01.300 --> 00:58:04.420
the story of self -sabotage comes in when you

00:58:04.420 --> 00:58:06.599
become clear that yeah, well, I am protecting

00:58:06.599 --> 00:58:08.599
myself. I got this one. I've been solved it yet.

00:58:08.619 --> 00:58:10.920
I know I'm working on it or I'm not working on

00:58:10.920 --> 00:58:14.460
it. And so when things blow up because of that,

00:58:14.480 --> 00:58:17.639
I don't blame myself for it. I don't want to

00:58:17.639 --> 00:58:19.920
beat myself. I know it's there. I've not done

00:58:19.920 --> 00:58:22.960
the work yet. So that's why, you know, it's not

00:58:22.960 --> 00:58:24.980
solved. It's still there, but at least I'm aware

00:58:24.980 --> 00:58:27.920
of it. It's not it. It removes that little bit

00:58:27.920 --> 00:58:32.460
of mystery or question of why am I doing this

00:58:32.460 --> 00:58:35.340
or why is this happening? And so that's what

00:58:35.340 --> 00:58:38.159
for me that I don't know. I'd rather know it

00:58:38.159 --> 00:58:39.619
and accept the fact that I'm not going to do

00:58:39.619 --> 00:58:42.510
anything about it, but it is I know it. But that's

00:58:42.510 --> 00:58:46.030
100 % on that instead of yeah, I don't know it.

00:58:46.150 --> 00:58:48.590
It's it's it's it's something's happening to

00:58:48.590 --> 00:58:52.289
me. I don't know where you know Yeah, and that's

00:58:52.289 --> 00:58:54.929
where you know for me that the idea of I don't

00:58:54.929 --> 00:58:57.329
know Yeah, and absolutely there is a notion of

00:58:57.329 --> 00:59:01.050
being ready to tackle it and integrated. I agree

00:59:01.050 --> 00:59:04.070
That's where you go and do the healing work go

00:59:04.070 --> 00:59:07.070
the into integration work Whatever modality that

00:59:07.070 --> 00:59:09.909
is multiline with you on that for me that first

00:59:09.909 --> 00:59:12.949
awareness When you say, I don't know, there's

00:59:12.949 --> 00:59:15.309
a part that I don't really want to see it right

00:59:15.309 --> 00:59:20.730
now. And I don't want to see it for a purpose.

00:59:21.889 --> 00:59:24.949
And I'd like to find out what that purpose is,

00:59:25.190 --> 00:59:27.650
because at least now I'm aware that I have that

00:59:27.650 --> 00:59:32.590
intention that's running my life. Almost every

00:59:32.590 --> 00:59:34.889
self -saboteur story that I've heard of people

00:59:34.889 --> 00:59:37.329
bringing it up to me is just they don't recognize

00:59:37.329 --> 00:59:39.210
that unconscious intent because the moment you

00:59:39.210 --> 00:59:41.750
see where that unconscious intent is, there is

00:59:41.750 --> 00:59:45.869
no self -saboteur. You acted out on that unconscious

00:59:45.869 --> 00:59:48.650
intent and it was perfect for that. Even if you

00:59:48.650 --> 00:59:51.630
blow up and scream and yell at people, which

00:59:51.630 --> 00:59:54.530
is obviously for your conscious goal not productive,

00:59:55.250 --> 00:59:58.340
for your unconscious goal, That unconscious intent

00:59:58.340 --> 01:00:00.820
in the moment. That was the perfect response

01:00:00.820 --> 01:00:03.840
to that And yeah, well, I love that you said

01:00:03.840 --> 01:00:07.119
that Yeah, I'd love that you said that about

01:00:07.119 --> 01:00:09.539
awareness because it's I I say this all the time

01:00:09.539 --> 01:00:12.139
Awareness to me out of all the things I talk

01:00:12.139 --> 01:00:15.840
about is the most important um, I call it my

01:00:15.840 --> 01:00:19.719
medicine, um, because When I was when I had my

01:00:19.719 --> 01:00:22.860
first big Breakthrough awakening whatever you

01:00:22.860 --> 01:00:25.420
want to call it when I was around 40 years old

01:00:25.420 --> 01:00:32.519
Now it was scary as hell but I became aware of

01:00:32.519 --> 01:00:37.920
things in my early childhood that had gone like

01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:40.960
Were completely hidden to me until that point

01:00:40.960 --> 01:00:43.880
the the fear part of it The scary part was like

01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:46.679
that I that they were there and I wasn't aware

01:00:46.679 --> 01:00:49.389
of them And that's why I'd love that because

01:00:49.389 --> 01:00:52.010
it's like once I did become aware, I didn't necessarily

01:00:52.010 --> 01:00:54.690
know what to do, but you're 100 % right. Once

01:00:54.690 --> 01:00:57.550
I was aware, I couldn't help but do something

01:00:57.550 --> 01:01:00.030
about it, right? I mean, I couldn't help but

01:01:00.030 --> 01:01:04.869
get on some slide, some path, some road to making

01:01:04.869 --> 01:01:08.429
a change in my life because you're right, before

01:01:08.429 --> 01:01:11.510
you're aware of it, how can you be expected to

01:01:11.510 --> 01:01:13.670
make a change, right? You're going to live from

01:01:13.670 --> 01:01:17.550
a place of reaction only. Um, and so I 100 agree

01:01:17.550 --> 01:01:21.070
awareness to me is the best medicine on the planet

01:01:21.070 --> 01:01:28.070
Well, that's the starting point for any personal

01:01:28.070 --> 01:01:32.150
development journey at any scale Absolutely,

01:01:32.230 --> 01:01:35.289
it's an end. It's a beautiful never -ending spiral.

01:01:35.449 --> 01:01:40.960
Yep. I love that. Yep it is Wow, thank you, Dylan.

01:01:41.099 --> 01:01:43.900

01:01:43.900 --> 01:01:46.539
to thank you. I want to, I will be introducing

01:01:46.539 --> 01:01:48.659

01:01:48.659 --> 01:01:52.079

so you can see that. And this has been great.

01:02:00.420 --> 01:02:04.039
Is there anything that wasn't asked of you that

01:02:04.039 --> 01:02:06.079
you would like to share before we say goodbye?

01:02:06.900 --> 01:02:09.420
I don't think so. I know this is a great conversation.

01:02:09.559 --> 01:02:11.980
I really appreciate all the insight from everyone.

01:02:12.019 --> 01:02:15.940
It's beautiful. Thank you so much. I know. I

01:02:15.940 --> 01:02:18.860
can't, I can't thank the team here on chatter

01:02:18.860 --> 01:02:21.619
social for being in the room and coming in. It's,

01:02:21.619 --> 01:02:23.860
