Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

06:15 – In my second book, the seven keys to tap into the wealth inside you. The first chapter is called eat your broccoli. It talks about how you cannot pour from an empty cup, if you’re not healthy, how are you going to help other people? You have to work out, you have to handle your mental hygiene, you have to do these things. Otherwise, you’re gonna be a burnout, and then you’re not good to anybody.

13:20 – So I got in trouble on the Dr. Drew show with that exact question. I am pro cannabis. He was anti cannabis. So we had a huge debate going on. Yeah, it’s interesting. To debate with him, was a whole other level.

20:35 – You have to keep in mind, it is the same thing with diabetes, it is the people that create the problem, then offer the solution to the problem. So they make money on the front end and money on the back end. So you’ve got the people pumping out Opioid’s, they get addicted to this, you get the person addicted to it, boom, here’s your solution afterwards too. You know, here’s a doughnut, let’s get you addicted to sugar, and then let’s of course give you that product to fix the ship.

31:00 – So all of a sudden it is also food and alcohol. So what happens is people get addicted. They start  off with the easily available cupcake and then it’s oh no, this weekend I got so and so’s birthday too. So then I’ll just have two cupcakes. Next thing you know, you’re eating cupcakes all of the time, and you don’t know how you got there. It’s the same thing with drugs and alcohol. It starts off in moderation. I’ll have a little and next thing you know, it’s uh oh! During the VID we produced so many alcoholics over COOFID because people were locked in their house. We went up to one in five people became addicted here in the USA.

41:40 – The success stories are why I do this. I still have clients that call me. I’ve been doing this work 27 years, and I still have clients that call me and say, hey, I’m sober 15 years, I got 20 years, you know, I’m married and I have kids, I have this amazing job, I created this company. So that’s very cool. It’s very rewarding to hear you said something or did something and sometimes it’s not even a client. It’s neat to be able to do this kind of work, and not know who you’re affecting, or how many people you’re affecting, and how well they’re actually doing with it.

45:45 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

There are people who do what they do, they take a break and go to an inpatient rehab for 30 days, and they reset, but then they come out and go right back to what they were doing at the level they were at before they reset. Inpatient treatment has 95% fail rate, you can easily look that up. So we go in and we said, let’s learn how to live in that environment that you’re functioning at, in regards to that high level, but let’s also get some work life balance. That’s what’s wrong, with regards to that theme of work, work, work. You’re going to get, 10 stickers and a couple eight balls of coke just to calm down. That’s no good for you, because that’s not calming down. That’s their idea of relaxation and then I come in, and I’m like, alright, let’s kind of fix that. Figure out what your stressors are. Lower your stressors, if we lower your stressors, you’re gonna lower your use so you’re not chomping at the bit to get away from work and the wife and the kids and the dog and then her parents and your parents and whatever else is going on.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30: Introduction

10:00: Chapter four is all about mindset. In fact, that’s the title of the chapter, mindset matters. The mind is a powerful thing.

20:30: Even the science behind eating breakfast, one of the things I had to really force myself to do is the first thing I did was I even put a refrigerator in my bedroom. It’s stocked with my protein drinks, which only have one gram of sugar and 30 grams of protein.

30:30: When I got home from the hospital after having gastric bypass, I literally started looking at what I could eat versus what I used to eat. I would put a plate next to another plate and I would put what my old portion used to look like. With my new portion I thought, wow, Portion Your Plate, that’s kind of what I’m doing.

40:50: You need to have dinner with Condoleezza Rice. Oh my god she is inspirational. I spent probably five minutes with her. She had to be alone for 12 minutes, believe it or not, but I spent about five minutes with her. She told me something that I will never forget and that was the confidence you exude. In a room, no matter who is in that room, you may not be the most important person in the room. But you better act like you’re the most important person and don’t ever let anybody treat you any less than that. She said, putting on the confidence that you need to walk into a room is like putting on a jacket, you got to put it on. When you walk into a room with people, you stare at them straight in the face and you shake their hand, and you don’t ever act as if you’re less than the most important in the room.

50:00: Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

If there’s one thing that I can do or if there’s one thing that I can say that will make somebody else’s life any better Scott and if my book just inspires one person to get after it and lose some weight, I will feel like I’ve done my job. The reality is that you can see my before and after picture there before I had 160 pounds in my after. I want to be able to impact just one person and if I can impact just one person, the whole book was worth me writing it. I never ever had a plan or a dream to write a book. I feel like this message is so important in the United States especially because there are some people who are suffering from morbid obesity.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [00:30] Introduction
• [01:45] Endorsed by Dr. Christiane Northrup
• [10:00] So rather than focus on what someone else is doing or not doing, let me show up more for my life. One of the first things I did is just affirm, I show up for my life. Actually giving yourself a little bit of credit is important. I think some of us who have done some of the self-focused, self-development work, maybe forget that we actually have put more focus on that. We forget to reward ourselves for that.
• [21:30] It’s a tool, mindset runs strongly throughout the book. I put the book on Amazon and I got a bunch of reviews back. As I was reading through the reviews, I learned more about what the book was about, or how it affected people. There was a common thread of how they felt like the author was holding my hand and leading me through the practices, and it was easily digestible.
• [33:00] This is free and you can call it like a preamp to the book, but it’s something that you can digest immediately. 12 practices, they are not all about food, a handful of them are and they’re fun. They’re out of the box and these are ways that you can get started ASAP.
• [41:30] You get to do this for the rest of your life. That’s the path that you want to go down and there are lots of GI digestive issues from that metformin. That’s the biggest complaint.
• [49:46] Final Words

Final Words:

Our thoughts and our beliefs invoke our actions. Our actions are what create results. So look at the results you have, look at the results you don’t have and then backtrack to your actions, what thoughts and what beliefs created those actions or left you stagnant? This is where all work, all practices begin. It’s right here and it’s not an intellectual concept. It’s a daily practice. We can think of it in terms of affirmations.
