Episode Transcription

1

00:00:11,378 --> 00:00:14,280

Hello and welcome to another episode

of On the Floor with Wayne and Rob.

 

2

00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,017

I'm Wayne Highlander,

National Sales Manager for Bona Adhesives.

 

3

00:00:17,484 --> 00:00:20,053

And I'm Rob Johnson from Bona Training.

 

4

00:00:21,221 --> 00:00:22,322

Inflection in my voice there.

 

5

00:00:22,322 --> 00:00:24,190

Rob Yeah, yeah.

 

6

00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:27,460

I didn't get that excited from watching

you been here for the last 3 minutes.

 

7

00:00:27,727 --> 00:00:29,162

I'm sorry. Yeah.

 

8

00:00:29,162 --> 00:00:32,332

I don't want to make a big deal

about it, but

 

9

00:00:32,332 --> 00:00:33,333

you get now.

 

10

00:00:33,333 --> 00:00:34,801

I'm good. Yeah.

 

11

00:00:34,801 --> 00:00:36,703

All right. That feeling good?

 

12

00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:37,137

Yeah.

 

13

00:00:37,137 --> 00:00:40,040

We're going to do an episode today

on on reaching our potential.

 

14

00:00:40,573 --> 00:00:45,512

And I.

 

15

00:00:45,512 --> 00:00:49,315

It's a pet peeve of mine, and I think it's

one of the biggest names in life

 

16

00:00:50,216 --> 00:00:52,352

is not living up to your potential.

 

17

00:00:52,352 --> 00:00:56,389

I really do think it is

a almost criminal wasted talent.

 

18

00:00:56,923 --> 00:01:00,627

Yeah, I used to work with a guy before

I got in the flooring business.

 

19

00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:04,531

We're both the exact same age, starting

the exact same time in construction.

 

20

00:01:04,998 --> 00:01:07,600

And these are big,

massive construction jobs.

 

21

00:01:07,667 --> 00:01:09,035

I mean, like the 100 people

 

22

00:01:09,035 --> 00:01:11,838

on a job, different trades

and what have you done on commercial work.

 

23

00:01:12,572 --> 00:01:17,310

And I would always hear this guy,

oh, this guy's got so much potential, man.

 

24

00:01:17,310 --> 00:01:20,280

He's he's got a lot of

potential is so smart.

 

25

00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,181

He's got a lot of potential.

 

26

00:01:21,181 --> 00:01:23,149

Meanwhile, he's doing all the work

 

27

00:01:23,149 --> 00:01:25,819

now, the guy

 

28

00:01:25,819 --> 00:01:30,390

that didn't have all the potential

and he went on, in my estimation,

 

29

00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:33,760

just kind of really waste

whatever talent he had.

 

30

00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,396

I think he was a

really super bright guy. But

 

31

00:01:37,430 --> 00:01:39,032

so it's always been a

 

32

00:01:39,032 --> 00:01:41,701

and I also think as a poor kid coming

 

33

00:01:41,701 --> 00:01:46,406

up, opportunities

are so hard to come by in life.

 

34

00:01:47,073 --> 00:01:50,844

And I hate when I see someone

that doesn't live up to their potential.

 

35

00:01:51,611 --> 00:01:55,081

But I think with age comes wisdom.

 

36

00:01:55,081 --> 00:01:56,116

And you

 

37

00:01:56,116 --> 00:01:59,853

sometimes not always, always see some,

you know, sometimes you're a knucklehead.

 

38

00:01:59,853 --> 00:02:03,123

A 65 year old is still a dummy.

 

39

00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:05,725

It's always is interesting to me.

 

40

00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:08,595

But why are you staring at me

when you said.

 

41

00:02:08,628 --> 00:02:10,396

I didn't want to make a deal out of it?

 

42

00:02:10,396 --> 00:02:12,565

You just kind of stare and right.

 

43

00:02:13,266 --> 00:02:15,235

Now. And not to interrupt

 

44

00:02:15,235 --> 00:02:19,272

and then backtrack a little bit,

but I didn't know you were poor.

 

45

00:02:19,405 --> 00:02:20,607

You were poor.

 

46

00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:22,675

Yeah. Yeah. You grew up a poor kid.

 

47

00:02:22,842 --> 00:02:24,110

Yeah, it sure did. Yeah.

 

48

00:02:25,712 --> 00:02:26,479

That's why.

 

49

00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:28,114

Did you ever do an episode on that?

 

50

00:02:28,114 --> 00:02:29,716

We should, yeah.

 

51

00:02:29,716 --> 00:02:32,685

The poverty of Highland Islanders.

Poverty?

 

52

00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:33,753

Yeah.

 

53

00:02:34,220 --> 00:02:37,023

We said you guys all seem so happy.

 

54

00:02:37,524 --> 00:02:41,895

We we we watched The Grapes of Wrath

and thought it was like a like a great,

 

55

00:02:42,028 --> 00:02:43,296

happy story.

 

56

00:02:43,296 --> 00:02:45,932

You know that

you're watching the Donald Trump story.

 

57

00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:47,767

We we didn't ever have a car.

 

58

00:02:47,767 --> 00:02:49,335

Wow. They they got a car.

 

59

00:02:49,335 --> 00:02:51,638

Yeah.

 

60

00:02:51,638 --> 00:02:55,108

Eddie Helper, I thought you were

in the Air Force or something.

 

61

00:02:55,141 --> 00:02:56,910

Yeah,

you could still be a back physically.

 

62

00:02:56,910 --> 00:03:00,613

Back then you'd be in the Air Force

and be eligible for food stamps.

 

63

00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,750

Not that we were on food stamps.

 

64

00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:05,818

I don't like is a long story, man.

 

65

00:03:05,818 --> 00:03:07,554

Come on, we got to.

 

66

00:03:07,554 --> 00:03:08,688

Be. Far enough.

 

67

00:03:08,688 --> 00:03:10,790

We are poor enough for that. Oh, yeah. We.

 

68

00:03:10,890 --> 00:03:13,293

We had to make money to be eligible

for food stamps.

 

69

00:03:13,927 --> 00:03:15,028

So poor.

 

70

00:03:15,261 --> 00:03:18,131

No, but my. The thing is for.

 

71

00:03:19,132 --> 00:03:20,466

Especially for working kid

 

72

00:03:20,466 --> 00:03:24,404

growing up, there's opportunities

are very few and far between right.

 

73

00:03:24,404 --> 00:03:26,873

I mean you know, and

 

74

00:03:26,873 --> 00:03:28,875

to have an opportunity

to not be ready for it or not

 

75

00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:31,411

take advantage

but I think is the biggest crime.

 

76

00:03:31,411 --> 00:03:34,547

And I think some of the reasons why

 

77

00:03:34,614 --> 00:03:37,617

I think when people talk about

some reasons why you may not

 

78

00:03:38,418 --> 00:03:41,354

reach your potential

or live up to your potential,

 

79

00:03:41,354 --> 00:03:43,022

and what are the things

that hold you back?

 

80

00:03:43,022 --> 00:03:45,225

And I think some of it is just education.

 

81

00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:47,827

I think some people it's just that,

 

82

00:03:47,827 --> 00:03:50,396

you know, they don't know

what they're capable of doing or maybe no.

 

83

00:03:50,396 --> 00:03:52,532

And show them what

they're capable of doing or what have you.

 

84

00:03:52,899 --> 00:03:55,969

And I think one of the number one reasons

that holds people back is fear,

 

85

00:03:57,804 --> 00:03:58,671

because if you

 

86

00:03:58,671 --> 00:04:01,975

take the next step, it's

going to include more work maybe.

 

87

00:04:02,475 --> 00:04:04,777

Or it's going to it's going to

you might fail

 

88

00:04:05,211 --> 00:04:08,047

or you might

you might be asked to do more.

 

89

00:04:08,047 --> 00:04:08,815

This, that and the other.

 

90

00:04:08,815 --> 00:04:11,017

And I think that's

one of the biggest reasons.

 

91

00:04:11,384 --> 00:04:15,154

And it's a shame because

 

92

00:04:15,788 --> 00:04:16,889

it's like

 

93

00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:19,559

something

that probably could have been overcome.

 

94

00:04:19,559 --> 00:04:22,729

You know what I mean by practice or by

but by taking the leap.

 

95

00:04:23,296 --> 00:04:27,033

And I'll tell you, for as I said, with age

comes wisdom and talking about fear.

 

96

00:04:27,033 --> 00:04:28,501

I can't swim.

 

97

00:04:28,735 --> 00:04:30,503

I never it's crazy.

 

98

00:04:30,503 --> 00:04:31,504

Crazy.

 

99

00:04:31,838 --> 00:04:33,373

My wife still can't get over it.

 

100

00:04:33,373 --> 00:04:35,875

I'm scared to death. The water

I can't swim.

 

101

00:04:36,776 --> 00:04:41,381

If I had just at some point in my life

gotten past that fear,

 

102

00:04:41,981 --> 00:04:45,752

I could have I could have probably swam,

you know what I mean?

 

103

00:04:46,352 --> 00:04:50,556

So so I think that's a great example,

is that, you know, it's a come on,

 

104

00:04:51,324 --> 00:04:54,260

it's just for some

at some point, for heaven's sakes,

 

105

00:04:54,260 --> 00:04:56,362

I should have gotten over that,

but I never did.

 

106

00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:57,730

And so now I can't swim.

 

107

00:04:57,730 --> 00:04:58,931

So I never lived up to that.

 

108

00:04:58,931 --> 00:05:01,501

Now I it's a shame on me.

 

109

00:05:01,801 --> 00:05:04,804

You know, you can swim right?

 

110

00:05:04,804 --> 00:05:06,039

And I just said, I can't swim.

 

111

00:05:06,039 --> 00:05:11,444

I know you say you can't swim, but but

it's possible for human beings to swim.

 

112

00:05:11,844 --> 00:05:14,047

Well,

obviously. It's kind of a natural thing,

 

113

00:05:15,048 --> 00:05:15,848

even.

 

114

00:05:15,848 --> 00:05:16,816

And you and I were

 

115

00:05:16,816 --> 00:05:20,553

talking this week about this

because you say, hey, what's going on?

 

116

00:05:20,553 --> 00:05:22,588

I was like, Oh, we're in the pool.

 

117

00:05:22,588 --> 00:05:25,591

All we can, teaching the grandkids,

working with them on how to swim.

 

118

00:05:25,591 --> 00:05:28,695

And that's when you said, yeah,

I never learned how to swim.

 

119

00:05:28,695 --> 00:05:30,830

I couldn't couldn't believe it.

 

120

00:05:31,364 --> 00:05:33,099

You how poor were you?

 

121

00:05:33,099 --> 00:05:35,234

You couldn't you guys couldn't find water.

 

122

00:05:35,234 --> 00:05:37,870

No, there was no only

water was like drinking water.

 

123

00:05:37,904 --> 00:05:41,040

It was a we had to trudge to it and we

didn't want to swim in the drinking water.

 

124

00:05:41,607 --> 00:05:42,942

You know, I would have been fine with it,

 

125

00:05:42,942 --> 00:05:45,345

but my brothers,

would it be the hell out of me?

 

126

00:05:45,345 --> 00:05:48,848

Well, that whole thing, I think,

and I mean, just watching the grandkids.

 

127

00:05:49,215 --> 00:05:49,949

Yeah.

 

128

00:05:50,016 --> 00:05:53,453

Um, and it's not about swimming.

 

129

00:05:53,986 --> 00:05:56,923

It was about overcoming their fear

of the water.

 

130

00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:58,358

Yeah.

 

131

00:05:58,624 --> 00:06:03,329

And once that happens and, you know, like,

you said, you start off with fear.

 

132

00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:05,998

It's just the funniest thing in the world.

 

133

00:06:05,998 --> 00:06:10,303

I mean, they went from not being able

to put their face in the water

 

134

00:06:10,303 --> 00:06:12,538

and now they're jumping in

and doing cannonballs.

 

135

00:06:12,538 --> 00:06:16,609

They'll do 100 cannonballs and swim in

and just going crazy.

 

136

00:06:16,609 --> 00:06:21,214

It was nuts, though,

once they got over that fear of the water.

 

137

00:06:21,214 --> 00:06:22,682

Well, everything.

 

138

00:06:22,682 --> 00:06:25,518

So I you know, I asked you

 

139

00:06:26,285 --> 00:06:29,122

this week,

I'm going to tell everybody again,

 

140

00:06:30,590 --> 00:06:31,991

if you get some time coming off

 

141

00:06:31,991 --> 00:06:35,128

when you grab a flight,

you know, Judy, come on up

 

142

00:06:36,396 --> 00:06:38,498

and I'll teach you how to swim.

 

143

00:06:38,998 --> 00:06:41,300

Told the grandkids, teach you how to swim.

 

144

00:06:41,300 --> 00:06:43,336

How old are the grandkids.

 

145

00:06:43,336 --> 00:06:45,838

They range in age from?

 

146

00:06:45,838 --> 00:06:48,274

Well, I get the newborn, but

 

147

00:06:48,274 --> 00:06:50,743

the boys are the boys are 3 to 7.

 

148

00:06:51,377 --> 00:06:53,045

You know how they ever say

when you're in a

 

149

00:06:53,045 --> 00:06:56,215

when you're in a boat and the boat

tips over there's a guy that can't swim.

 

150

00:06:56,215 --> 00:06:58,351

Do you need to get away from him?

 

151

00:06:58,351 --> 00:06:59,685

Yeah, he'll drown. You two.

 

152

00:06:59,685 --> 00:07:00,953

It'll take you down.

 

153

00:07:00,953 --> 00:07:03,356

I would take all the grandkids down.

 

154

00:07:03,356 --> 00:07:04,524

Absolutely.

 

155

00:07:05,124 --> 00:07:07,560

That's how much panic sets in.

 

156

00:07:07,994 --> 00:07:10,496

No, I got a nice lifejacket for you.

 

157

00:07:10,563 --> 00:07:11,731

Oh, life jackets. Fine.

 

158

00:07:11,731 --> 00:07:12,765

I can do all that.

 

159

00:07:12,765 --> 00:07:15,234

No problem. But you start there and.

 

160

00:07:15,935 --> 00:07:18,404

Yeah, all right. Yeah.

 

161

00:07:18,404 --> 00:07:20,873

So anyhow, I really think that

 

162

00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,342

I think that's probably

one of the biggest factors

 

163

00:07:23,342 --> 00:07:26,646

that were that cause people from that

maybe not reaching their potential

 

164

00:07:26,646 --> 00:07:31,184

and you know,

I think it carries over into business.

 

165

00:07:31,751 --> 00:07:36,289

And so I think that's that's

probably number one on my list here.

 

166

00:07:36,956 --> 00:07:40,593

You know, when you talk to me about

we wanted to do this podcast,

 

167

00:07:42,094 --> 00:07:42,361

what's the

 

168

00:07:42,361 --> 00:07:45,198

name of this one again

over reaching your potential.

 

169

00:07:45,331 --> 00:07:46,265

Yeah, yeah.

 

170

00:07:46,265 --> 00:07:48,201

Reaching your potential.

 

171

00:07:48,201 --> 00:07:50,703

So I started to look into a bunch of stuff

about.

 

172

00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:52,171

Does that work organizing.

 

173

00:07:52,171 --> 00:07:54,841

Were you just asked me

what the name of it was again.

 

174

00:07:54,974 --> 00:07:55,541

Yeah. Yeah.

 

175

00:07:55,541 --> 00:07:58,711

And I started, I started to see overcoming

something, which is not right.

 

176

00:07:58,711 --> 00:08:00,646

And then you remembered it.

 

177

00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:02,982

So you see, baby, that's it.

 

178

00:08:03,783 --> 00:08:05,852

That's the ABCs of you and me, baby.

 

179

00:08:06,152 --> 00:08:09,722

Mm hmm.

 

180

00:08:09,722 --> 00:08:12,058

So anyways, back to I start.

 

181

00:08:12,058 --> 00:08:14,193

So I started looking about this stuff, and

 

182

00:08:15,361 --> 00:08:18,264

this one article I found was it was called

 

183

00:08:19,131 --> 00:08:25,271

Adapting a Growth Mindset

Over a fixed mindset.

 

184

00:08:25,271 --> 00:08:29,242

And then there were some really there were

some really great things in there.

 

185

00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:32,912

So I think, you know,

I'll go off a little of that.

 

186

00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:33,779

You go off a little.

 

187

00:08:33,779 --> 00:08:36,349

But what you had negative thinking

nothing.

 

188

00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:38,618

And, you know,

we'll just kind of press on.

 

189

00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:40,520

All right.

 

190

00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,255

If that's okay with you.

 

191

00:08:42,255 --> 00:08:44,156

Oh, absolutely.

 

192

00:08:44,156 --> 00:08:46,158

I didn't I didn't research anything.

 

193

00:08:46,158 --> 00:08:48,361

I didn't research

one single thing for this.

 

194

00:08:49,762 --> 00:08:51,697

So you think you're better than me?

 

195

00:08:51,697 --> 00:08:53,533

Well, I'm just saying.

 

196

00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:55,201

I know you're doing that.

 

197

00:08:55,201 --> 00:08:56,202

That's a silly question.

 

198

00:08:56,202 --> 00:08:58,371

I mean, why would you

why would you even ask? That's just so I.

 

199

00:08:58,771 --> 00:08:59,939

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

200

00:08:59,939 --> 00:09:05,244

No, I just think that there's only one

corporate stooge on this show.

 

201

00:09:05,945 --> 00:09:07,580

That's that's actually my next.

 

202

00:09:07,580 --> 00:09:10,283

My next thing is negative thinking.

 

203

00:09:11,784 --> 00:09:14,120

And I think that's another one is

 

204

00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,690

I, I see

sometimes it's just been in my experience

 

205

00:09:17,690 --> 00:09:21,994

that some people think, oh, well,

it won't work or why should I even try?

 

206

00:09:21,994 --> 00:09:23,095

Because it may not work.

 

207

00:09:23,095 --> 00:09:27,066

I mean, I get there might be, you know,

I don't have enough money or I don't have

 

208

00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:30,970

blah, blah, blah, or I'll never learn

how to do a herringbone layout by myself.

 

209

00:09:30,970 --> 00:09:33,105

I'll never I'll never do this

or that or the other.

 

210

00:09:33,506 --> 00:09:36,742

And I think that these are things that

 

211

00:09:37,009 --> 00:09:40,479

it's like a shame

that that you would fall into this trap.

 

212

00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:43,049

But I think a lot of people absolutely do.

 

213

00:09:43,049 --> 00:09:46,319

And I think fear is a huge one.

 

214

00:09:46,319 --> 00:09:51,057

And I think

negative thinking is the other.

 

215

00:09:51,057 --> 00:09:53,092

And I think they can be

 

216

00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,561

life long.

 

217

00:09:55,561 --> 00:09:58,264

These things. They can

they can send you down this road.

 

218

00:09:58,264 --> 00:10:00,299

And I and those are for younger guys.

 

219

00:10:00,299 --> 00:10:03,636

And it's interesting for younger guys.

 

220

00:10:03,636 --> 00:10:06,973

Like I remember when I was in my twenties,

I used to think like, I see you do.

 

221

00:10:06,973 --> 00:10:08,841

Like he's was like 45 years old to me.

 

222

00:10:08,841 --> 00:10:10,409

That was an old guy.

 

223

00:10:10,409 --> 00:10:13,279

I mean, didn't you when you're 20 years

old, see a 45 year old guy going, hey,

 

224

00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:15,514

guys, all these old guys over the hill

or whatever, right?

 

225

00:10:15,915 --> 00:10:17,984

Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah.

 

226

00:10:18,217 --> 00:10:20,353

And now that we're in our sixties.

 

227

00:10:20,353 --> 00:10:22,021

45 seems like a puppy.

 

228

00:10:22,021 --> 00:10:24,190

Yeah, yeah, seems like six.

 

229

00:10:24,190 --> 00:10:25,224

Seattle is 60.

 

230

00:10:25,224 --> 00:10:27,727

Is the new 40.

 

231

00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,929

Yeah, they say that.

 

232

00:10:30,663 --> 00:10:32,131

I say that now.

 

233

00:10:32,131 --> 00:10:33,265

Not everybody. Yeah.

 

234

00:10:33,265 --> 00:10:37,036

Okay, well,

 

235

00:10:37,036 --> 00:10:40,406

my reason for seeing that is

so if you were of the mindset that, well,

 

236

00:10:41,073 --> 00:10:43,876

man, I, you know, I would have done that

when I was younger or whatever.

 

237

00:10:44,410 --> 00:10:47,413

But now, you know, I'm

this age and it's too late for that.

 

238

00:10:47,413 --> 00:10:50,850

I think that's that's

and by the way, I will learn to swim.

 

239

00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:52,952

I will 100%.

 

240

00:10:52,952 --> 00:10:54,854

I told my wife,

I said, if I don't get done

 

241

00:10:54,854 --> 00:10:58,257

nothing this this, this summer,

so I'll learn how to swim.

 

242

00:10:58,324 --> 00:11:00,393

I mean, don't get me wrong,

I can swim from here to the

 

243

00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:03,396

you know, I can swim like 30 feet.

 

244

00:11:03,396 --> 00:11:05,931

But if you put me out on the lake

somewhere, I'm dead.

 

245

00:11:05,931 --> 00:11:08,300

I'm. I'm. I'm already dead. So.

 

246

00:11:08,901 --> 00:11:10,536

So you can swim.

 

247

00:11:10,536 --> 00:11:13,539

Well, see, that's what people say

because they'll,

 

248

00:11:13,773 --> 00:11:15,541

they'll see me swim

from one end of the pool, the other go.

 

249

00:11:15,541 --> 00:11:17,910

You can swim. Yeah, I could swim that far.

 

250

00:11:18,277 --> 00:11:20,613

But if there's another ten feet

and I'm out of breath, I'm done.

 

251

00:11:20,613 --> 00:11:22,748

It's over. I don't. I can't float.

 

252

00:11:22,748 --> 00:11:25,484

So I don't make a big deal about it

anymore than we already have.

 

253

00:11:25,484 --> 00:11:27,153

But that's that's the deal.

 

254

00:11:28,988 --> 00:11:30,189

So you can swim.

 

255

00:11:30,189 --> 00:11:35,261

You just can't swim in marathon.

 

256

00:11:35,261 --> 00:11:40,533

If I run out of breath

before I get to the end zone, I'm dead.

 

257

00:11:41,367 --> 00:11:45,271

Like, I can swim, like maybe 30 feet

or 40 feet or 50 feet or whatever.

 

258

00:11:45,271 --> 00:11:47,373

But once that's over, it's done.

 

259

00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:50,109

If there better be bank

 

260

00:11:50,109 --> 00:11:51,444

or I'm over,

 

261

00:11:52,011 --> 00:11:54,046

but I use

I wear a life jacket all the time.

 

262

00:11:54,046 --> 00:11:56,982

I never get a never, never

get in the water without a life jacket on

 

263

00:11:57,483 --> 00:11:58,584

about the age thing.

 

264

00:11:58,584 --> 00:12:01,687

I you know, one thing I realize too, like

 

265

00:12:01,687 --> 00:12:05,691

if you're like, say you're 50 years old,

you go, I'm already 50 years old.

 

266

00:12:05,691 --> 00:12:08,160

I mean, it would take me three

or four years.

 

267

00:12:08,427 --> 00:12:11,564

Well, one day you're going to be 54 years

old, God willing,

 

268

00:12:12,164 --> 00:12:14,834

and so you you're going to be that age

one way or the other.

 

269

00:12:14,834 --> 00:12:18,637

So you might as well, you know, keep

learning and learning as you go along.

 

270

00:12:19,171 --> 00:12:20,473

Here, I got one. Wait.

 

271

00:12:20,473 --> 00:12:23,943

We need to view our

challenges as opportunity.

 

272

00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:29,949

Isn't that sweet?

 

273

00:12:29,949 --> 00:12:31,283

Here's one for you.

 

274

00:12:31,283 --> 00:12:34,520

Why don't you embrace your weakness

instead of running from it

 

275

00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,623

and learn how to freaking swim?

 

276

00:12:37,623 --> 00:12:38,157

Well,

 

277

00:12:39,158 --> 00:12:40,659

okay. Give me another one.

 

278

00:12:40,659 --> 00:12:43,129

I was vulnerable there for a minute.

 

279

00:12:43,129 --> 00:12:45,397

I learned. Hey, I'll give you another one.

 

280

00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:51,504

You need to learn and to give and receive

constructive criticism.

 

281

00:12:52,071 --> 00:12:57,643

Holy crap, I didn't realize

how many these are for you.

 

282

00:12:57,643 --> 00:12:59,178

But here's, here's, here's.

 

283

00:12:59,178 --> 00:13:01,580

Here's the deal. The pal.

 

284

00:13:01,580 --> 00:13:03,849

I've reached my my potential.

 

285

00:13:04,016 --> 00:13:07,219

Oh. Oh, oh.

 

286

00:13:08,521 --> 00:13:10,589

All right. Oh, my.

 

287

00:13:10,823 --> 00:13:12,424

So I guess it's Julie.

 

288

00:13:12,424 --> 00:13:16,629

So it's just downhill from you.

 

289

00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:18,931

It's just downhill. All right.

 

290

00:13:20,065 --> 00:13:20,866

Let me go next.

 

291

00:13:20,866 --> 00:13:23,102

He reached his potential.

 

292

00:13:24,103 --> 00:13:24,837

That's it.

 

293

00:13:24,837 --> 00:13:26,906

You're done. You know that.

 

294

00:13:26,972 --> 00:13:28,674

You're a going to take a position.

 

295

00:13:28,674 --> 00:13:29,041

Hang on.

 

296

00:13:29,041 --> 00:13:30,843

Let me look down. That mountaintop.

 

297

00:13:30,843 --> 00:13:32,845

Oh, there. There you. Are. There I am.

 

298

00:13:33,846 --> 00:13:35,181

All right.

 

299

00:13:35,181 --> 00:13:41,487

The next one, which probably applies

to you, is handling pressure.

 

300

00:13:41,487 --> 00:13:45,424

I really again, is that that with with

 

301

00:13:46,125 --> 00:13:48,994

with responsibility comes,

you know, pressure and what have you.

 

302

00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:52,464

And I think that that I've seen people

that say, I don't want to.

 

303

00:13:52,464 --> 00:13:53,432

No pressure at all.

 

304

00:13:53,432 --> 00:13:55,000

No, no, no, no, no, I don't want it.

 

305

00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,436

And you know, hey,

if you're happy with that, that's fine.

 

306

00:13:57,436 --> 00:14:00,773

But with moving,

you know, with, with, with reaching

 

307

00:14:00,773 --> 00:14:03,642

your potential is

is having to do with pressure.

 

308

00:14:04,109 --> 00:14:06,478

And so all these things are learned

traits, fear,

 

309

00:14:06,512 --> 00:14:09,181

negative thinking and pressure.

Like I said, brilliant on my part.

 

310

00:14:09,181 --> 00:14:10,583

I didn't research nothing.

 

311

00:14:10,583 --> 00:14:12,451

This is all from the mind of Wayne.

 

312

00:14:12,451 --> 00:14:15,955

How do you figure that

pressure has anything to do with me?

 

313

00:14:16,188 --> 00:14:20,960

Have you never met me?

 

314

00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:21,994

Never.

 

315

00:14:21,994 --> 00:14:23,929

I never.

 

316

00:14:23,929 --> 00:14:26,599

I put that bag of bricks down.

 

317

00:14:26,599 --> 00:14:28,400

All right, let it go.

 

318

00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,969

Guys. Pauline nuts.

 

319

00:14:29,969 --> 00:14:31,570

I never sell stuff.

 

320

00:14:31,570 --> 00:14:33,873

That's for you corporate types.

 

321

00:14:34,406 --> 00:14:35,374

Not us.

 

322

00:14:35,374 --> 00:14:37,443

Not us. Lowlifes

at the bottom of the mountain.

 

323

00:14:37,843 --> 00:14:40,880

Okay, there's no pressure.

 

324

00:14:41,513 --> 00:14:43,082

Yeah, yeah.

 

325

00:14:43,082 --> 00:14:44,016

All right.

 

326

00:14:44,016 --> 00:14:45,150

You want me go again, or do you?

 

327

00:14:45,150 --> 00:14:47,353

Would you like to bring it back to me

again before I go again?

 

328

00:14:47,887 --> 00:14:49,655

Wow, Wayne.

 

329

00:14:50,656 --> 00:14:51,991

And this is definitely you.

 

330

00:14:51,991 --> 00:14:55,127

Your brains and talent

always need to keep improving.

 

331

00:14:57,396 --> 00:14:58,664

100%.

 

332

00:14:58,664 --> 00:15:00,232

Absolutely. Yeah.

 

333

00:15:00,232 --> 00:15:01,333

Never stop that.

 

334

00:15:01,333 --> 00:15:04,336

And look, I think that's actually a huge

 

335

00:15:06,705 --> 00:15:09,475

I see friends of mine that retire

and whatever.

 

336

00:15:10,109 --> 00:15:13,345

And I have visited a friend

not too long ago and and he retired

 

337

00:15:13,345 --> 00:15:16,115

and I came where they're going,

man, give me away from this dude.

 

338

00:15:16,749 --> 00:15:18,117

He's already done.

 

339

00:15:18,117 --> 00:15:19,618

You know what I mean? Like, he.

 

340

00:15:19,618 --> 00:15:22,454

He's, like,

doing crossword puzzles and stuff.

 

341

00:15:22,821 --> 00:15:24,523

Man, I got no time for that.

 

342

00:15:24,523 --> 00:15:25,090

You know what I mean?

 

343

00:15:25,090 --> 00:15:28,560

He's like, you know,

you got to keep going, man.

 

344

00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:28,928

You got to

 

345

00:15:28,928 --> 00:15:32,865

you got to keep learning all the time

and and challenge yourself all the time.

 

346

00:15:32,865 --> 00:15:35,301

And I got so many things I want to do

I haven't touched yet.

 

347

00:15:36,001 --> 00:15:37,836

Give me give me a couple of those.

 

348

00:15:39,471 --> 00:15:42,808

One is kayak fishing.

 

349

00:15:43,575 --> 00:15:46,245

I want

 

350

00:15:48,147 --> 00:15:51,350

to listen.

 

351

00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:54,253

Every time I've been, I.

 

352

00:15:54,253 --> 00:15:57,389

I thought you could say,

 

353

00:15:57,389 --> 00:15:59,558

like skydiving or something.

 

354

00:15:59,925 --> 00:16:04,096

I mean, I think you've done just about

every possible way to fish and that's

 

355

00:16:05,130 --> 00:16:06,732

that's the only one left.

 

356

00:16:06,732 --> 00:16:08,033

There are kayak fish.

 

357

00:16:08,033 --> 00:16:11,837

So I kayak fishing is on my bucket list.

 

358

00:16:12,237 --> 00:16:14,306

It scares the hell. It scares out of me.

 

359

00:16:15,174 --> 00:16:16,642

It scares me because I can't swim.

 

360

00:16:16,642 --> 00:16:18,344

And every time I've been in a.

 

361

00:16:18,344 --> 00:16:20,779

Boat, kayak, fishing without a lifejacket

 

362

00:16:20,779 --> 00:16:24,249

that bear that over coming up here.

 

363

00:16:24,483 --> 00:16:26,218

I got a lot of things I want to do, man.

 

364

00:16:26,218 --> 00:16:29,088

I got I got books I want to write.

 

365

00:16:29,088 --> 00:16:30,089

I got all kinds of stuff.

 

366

00:16:30,089 --> 00:16:32,791

I will I am not

 

367

00:16:32,791 --> 00:16:33,993

I'm not going to.

 

368

00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:36,295

I've got a long way to go, man.

You better get going.

 

369

00:16:36,295 --> 00:16:36,595

What do you.

 

370

00:16:36,595 --> 00:16:39,231

63. Yeah, you know. Oh, yeah.

 

371

00:16:39,264 --> 00:16:41,133

You got to get going, dude. I'm just.

 

372

00:16:41,133 --> 00:16:44,069

I mean, the clock is ticking.

 

373

00:16:44,069 --> 00:16:45,504

Oh, right. Yeah, I'm.

 

374

00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:49,608

Just bother me one bit.

 

375

00:16:49,608 --> 00:16:50,576

All right.

 

376

00:16:50,676 --> 00:16:51,810

The fourth one.

 

377

00:16:51,810 --> 00:16:53,946

The fourth one I have on my on my list.

 

378

00:16:54,213 --> 00:16:56,648

On your list

that you made up all by yourself

 

379

00:16:56,648 --> 00:16:58,817

where I had to go out

and do a little research.

 

380

00:16:59,051 --> 00:17:03,555

Yeah, this is distractions, I think.

 

381

00:17:03,555 --> 00:17:06,558

I think sometimes we go from one

 

382

00:17:07,159 --> 00:17:10,662

set of distractions

and short term pleasure to another.

 

383

00:17:10,662 --> 00:17:15,868

We just drift from one thing

to another thing to watch TV.

 

384

00:17:15,901 --> 00:17:18,837

Then we eat this food

because it makes us feel good to what

 

385

00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:22,541

I think we sometimes go through,

like just one distraction

 

386

00:17:23,108 --> 00:17:26,478

and short term

pleasure thing to another, to another.

 

387

00:17:26,478 --> 00:17:29,782

And I used to

 

388

00:17:30,249 --> 00:17:33,285

it kind of bugged me a little bit

when last was a year ago.

 

389

00:17:33,285 --> 00:17:35,020

Now that I'm all for the year

 

390

00:17:36,221 --> 00:17:36,588

I hate

 

391

00:17:36,588 --> 00:17:39,558

I mean, wait, wait, wait,

hold on, hold on.

 

392

00:17:39,558 --> 00:17:40,626

Is it there?

 

393

00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:43,762

Do you know the music is still there?

 

394

00:17:43,762 --> 00:17:46,231

I hear the music, man.

 

395

00:17:46,231 --> 00:17:49,468

They they definitely hear the music.

 

396

00:17:49,668 --> 00:17:50,803

Yes, they do.

 

397

00:17:50,803 --> 00:17:52,805

Yes. He's one floor. The year.

 

398

00:17:53,572 --> 00:17:56,341

The year that I won that I the year.

 

399

00:17:56,341 --> 00:17:58,544

That Aaron Chief

sanded that floor for you.

 

400

00:17:58,944 --> 00:18:01,880

Yeah, I did.

 

401

00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,384

I didn't watch any TV, any watch any,

any sports.

 

402

00:18:05,384 --> 00:18:08,487

I mean, I didn't do

I just got all distractions

 

403

00:18:08,487 --> 00:18:11,423

out of the way and

 

404

00:18:11,523 --> 00:18:14,760

it's amazing what you can accomplish when

you when you put your mind to something.

 

405

00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,296

And but there's so many distractions now.

 

406

00:18:17,296 --> 00:18:20,232

And like when I watch

 

407

00:18:20,232 --> 00:18:21,900

when I watch,

 

408

00:18:22,468 --> 00:18:24,837

like, say, professional fishing, okay?

 

409

00:18:25,404 --> 00:18:28,307

And I see those guys fishing all day and,

 

410

00:18:29,141 --> 00:18:31,877

you know, you got to put energy in

to get something back out of it.

 

411

00:18:32,244 --> 00:18:33,212

Like, I love to see that.

 

412

00:18:33,212 --> 00:18:34,913

I love to see a sunrise in the morning

 

413

00:18:34,913 --> 00:18:36,949

when the sun comes over the mountain

and first thing in the morning.

 

414

00:18:37,349 --> 00:18:39,718

But I got to get up at 4:00 in the morning

to do that.

 

415

00:18:39,718 --> 00:18:40,652

You know what I mean?

 

416

00:18:40,652 --> 00:18:43,589

If you want to get something out of it,

you got to put some energy into it.

 

417

00:18:44,089 --> 00:18:47,793

And I think if we let these distractions

 

418

00:18:47,793 --> 00:18:50,562

and whatever and hanging out with friends

and all these different things

 

419

00:18:50,562 --> 00:18:52,831

or whatever

that takes us away from for our potential,

 

420

00:18:54,833 --> 00:18:57,936

I think that's that's especially nowadays

I almost feel sorry for kids.

 

421

00:18:57,936 --> 00:19:01,373

There's so many distractions.

 

422

00:19:01,373 --> 00:19:04,510

I think that will stop a lot of people

 

423

00:19:04,510 --> 00:19:07,613

from the quality of life

of reaching their potential.

 

424

00:19:07,613 --> 00:19:11,383

If they if they let this overcome

some of the and, you know,

 

425

00:19:11,383 --> 00:19:12,718

maybe maybe you're happy.

 

426

00:19:12,718 --> 00:19:14,286

I don't play video games, period.

 

427

00:19:14,286 --> 00:19:16,255

I don't play

I've never played a video game.

 

428

00:19:16,255 --> 00:19:18,524

And the reason why is that

I know I would love it.

 

429

00:19:19,358 --> 00:19:21,093

I know that I would love playing

video games.

 

430

00:19:21,093 --> 00:19:23,128

I watch these things that incredible.

 

431

00:19:23,128 --> 00:19:25,330

And I can see being hours and hours

doing that.

 

432

00:19:25,330 --> 00:19:26,665

And I'm not knocking anybody

 

433

00:19:26,665 --> 00:19:30,702

that does that, but I mean, it

depends on what your goals are in life.

 

434

00:19:30,702 --> 00:19:32,804

So that's another one I have for for

 

435

00:19:34,072 --> 00:19:34,840

for me.

 

436

00:19:35,374 --> 00:19:37,943

That's one of your goals

is to start playing video games.

 

437

00:19:37,943 --> 00:19:40,212

No, that's nuts. That's the way I.

 

438

00:19:40,312 --> 00:19:43,315

What takes you away from hitting

your potential is.

 

439

00:19:43,315 --> 00:19:45,450

Is distractions. Distractions?

 

440

00:19:46,652 --> 00:19:50,155

Yeah, that's what

that's why I'm on the show.

 

441

00:19:50,389 --> 00:19:50,989

Right.

 

442

00:19:51,456 --> 00:19:53,058

So this is me pausing.

 

443

00:19:53,058 --> 00:19:55,494

This is this is why I'm on the show.

 

444

00:19:55,494 --> 00:19:56,495

I am direction.

 

445

00:19:56,495 --> 00:19:58,830

I am your distraction.

 

446

00:19:58,830 --> 00:20:00,933

Yeah. Word for it that I would use.

 

447

00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:04,203

When we think of learning

is more important

 

448

00:20:04,203 --> 00:20:08,640

than seeking someone's approval.

 

449

00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,908

Depends whose approval it is.

 

450

00:20:09,908 --> 00:20:13,812

You're trying to you're

you're trying to win favor with

 

451

00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:21,386

easy win.

 

452

00:20:21,386 --> 00:20:23,722

But I you're. The best baby.

 

453

00:20:24,122 --> 00:20:27,059

I definitely get the center the best. Yes.

 

454

00:20:27,326 --> 00:20:29,661

The sentiment of it. Yeah.

 

455

00:20:29,661 --> 00:20:33,498

When I when I told you that

 

456

00:20:35,267 --> 00:20:37,102

when you're like 20 in your twenties

 

457

00:20:37,102 --> 00:20:41,039

and you look at old guy,

he's like his forties or or fifties

 

458

00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:42,441

or whatever,

you think, that guy's over the hill?

 

459

00:20:42,441 --> 00:20:44,176

He's an old guy. Yeah. Yeah.

 

460

00:20:44,176 --> 00:20:48,680

Let me ask you personally, what was the

best time period in your life?

 

461

00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:49,915

Because clearly it's that now

 

462

00:21:00,592 --> 00:21:01,627

that I.

 

463

00:21:01,627 --> 00:21:03,061

I really don't know.

 

464

00:21:03,061 --> 00:21:03,962

I can't say.

 

465

00:21:03,962 --> 00:21:05,731

I swear to you,

 

466

00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:07,432

I'm dead serious.

 

467

00:21:07,432 --> 00:21:08,734

I can't tell you.

 

468

00:21:08,734 --> 00:21:09,635

Okay.

 

469

00:21:09,701 --> 00:21:13,972

Look,

I was telling you what I did last weekend,

 

470

00:21:15,274 --> 00:21:15,907

right?

 

471

00:21:15,907 --> 00:21:18,210

Yeah, last weekend.

 

472

00:21:18,243 --> 00:21:22,981

The guys that I went to school

with played hockey with a bunch of them,

 

473

00:21:22,981 --> 00:21:27,753

worked in the family business

with me and my dad at one point in time.

 

474

00:21:28,086 --> 00:21:29,588

Anyways,

 

475

00:21:30,055 --> 00:21:33,725

you know that group of guys that I've been

with for ever, like I said, since

 

476

00:21:33,725 --> 00:21:37,596

high school,

we go up to Saranac Lake, it's

 

477

00:21:37,596 --> 00:21:39,731

up in the Adirondacks every year

 

478

00:21:40,832 --> 00:21:41,633

and we golf.

 

479

00:21:41,633 --> 00:21:44,903

A buddy of ours has a beautiful camp

up there on a pond.

 

480

00:21:44,903 --> 00:21:47,239

It's just just an amazing place.

 

481

00:21:47,239 --> 00:21:49,441

We've been going there for 33 years.

 

482

00:21:49,941 --> 00:21:53,912

Wow. First time we went,

we were 27 years old.

 

483

00:21:53,912 --> 00:21:58,250

The next year we went we talked to

his mom, Peter and I talked to his mom

 

484

00:21:59,017 --> 00:22:03,322

for us to lay floor,

lay the floors in the cabin in the camp,

 

485

00:22:03,422 --> 00:22:07,559

you know, the floors look unbelievable

still today.

 

486

00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:08,860

They look great.

 

487

00:22:08,860 --> 00:22:11,263

I was so happy to

I mean, it would have been pretty bad

 

488

00:22:11,263 --> 00:22:14,366

if they look crappy,

but they look really good.

 

489

00:22:14,366 --> 00:22:17,202

But anyways, 33 years

 

490

00:22:18,470 --> 00:22:18,837

of the

 

491

00:22:18,837 --> 00:22:22,574

same group of guys going up to

this place is usually between

 

492

00:22:22,574 --> 00:22:26,178

eight and ten or 12 of us

that they will go every year

 

493

00:22:26,178 --> 00:22:29,681

and cook and golf and,

you know, swimming and stuff.

 

494

00:22:29,681 --> 00:22:30,582

It's just a blast.

 

495

00:22:30,582 --> 00:22:35,120

But I mean,

I started going there in my twenties

 

496

00:22:36,388 --> 00:22:40,158

and you said, what was my favorite,

you know, 20, 34, 56.

 

497

00:22:40,158 --> 00:22:43,495

So I really

I don't know. I can't tell you.

 

498

00:22:43,495 --> 00:22:48,300

I mean, the funny part is we all started

going up and we were in our twenties

 

499

00:22:48,934 --> 00:22:52,070

half of the guys this year that were

they're retired.

 

500

00:22:53,305 --> 00:22:54,673

They're retired.

 

501

00:22:54,740 --> 00:22:58,343

Can you imagine if we were talking back

when we're in our twenties about going

 

502

00:22:58,377 --> 00:23:02,447

to the men half of us would be retired

and we're going to be retired now.

 

503

00:23:02,481 --> 00:23:04,649

You just never saw it coming, you know?

 

504

00:23:04,649 --> 00:23:07,853

So I can't tell you

what would be my favorite.

 

505

00:23:08,854 --> 00:23:10,956

Favorite time period.

 

506

00:23:10,956 --> 00:23:12,624

I really don't know.

 

507

00:23:12,624 --> 00:23:14,426

I don't think I've really changed

that much.

 

508

00:23:14,426 --> 00:23:15,660

We're all pretty still.

 

509

00:23:15,660 --> 00:23:17,763

All the guys who grew up,

they're pretty immature.

 

510

00:23:17,763 --> 00:23:21,967

So what would be yours?

 

511

00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,368

I love a good tradition.

 

512

00:23:23,368 --> 00:23:25,537

That's cool that you guys do that

and that's pretty cool.

 

513

00:23:27,539 --> 00:23:29,040

You want to hear something else?

 

514

00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:29,441

What's it?

 

515

00:23:29,441 --> 00:23:29,875

All right.

 

516

00:23:29,975 --> 00:23:33,378

My golf game hasn't changed at all.

 

517

00:23:35,147 --> 00:23:37,582

Golf has got to be

one of the weirdest sports in the world.

 

518

00:23:37,582 --> 00:23:42,220

And, I mean, I think I've been

playing golf for 40 years

 

519

00:23:43,622 --> 00:23:46,992

and I am absolutely

 

520

00:23:47,125 --> 00:23:49,861

barely any better

than the first year that I played.

 

521

00:23:51,096 --> 00:23:53,932

Wow. How's that possible?

 

522

00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:55,967

I it's not possible.

 

523

00:23:57,002 --> 00:23:58,537

Yeah, that seems very odd.

 

524

00:23:58,537 --> 00:24:01,173

Well, you don't play that probably.

 

525

00:24:01,173 --> 00:24:01,706

Yeah.

 

526

00:24:01,706 --> 00:24:04,142

Yeah, maybe you should play

more than three or four times a year.

 

527

00:24:04,142 --> 00:24:07,579

Yeah, that's the that's the deal.

 

528

00:24:07,579 --> 00:24:10,582

And I think my, my favorite time

 

529

00:24:10,582 --> 00:24:14,519

period is actually right now today.

 

530

00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:15,487

Very much so.

 

531

00:24:15,487 --> 00:24:18,390

And I hope that someone in their twenties

 

532

00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:21,126

or thirties or whatever understands that.

 

533

00:24:21,693 --> 00:24:22,994

I mean, for some it's not for everybody.

 

534

00:24:22,994 --> 00:24:25,430

Some people will probably say, yeah,

it was when I was 20 years old

 

535

00:24:25,430 --> 00:24:29,468

or whatever, but be aware

that if you are young like that,

 

536

00:24:30,602 --> 00:24:33,171

don't think that there are the best

days are behind you or whatever.

 

537

00:24:33,171 --> 00:24:37,943

As I 100%, I'm enjoying myself more

now than I ever have.

 

538

00:24:38,543 --> 00:24:41,546

And and I'm not complaining because

I've always I mean, I've had a good ride,

 

539

00:24:42,581 --> 00:24:45,283

but I do I love where I'm at right now.

 

540

00:24:45,283 --> 00:24:50,055

And so, like I said, for for

you never stop learning.

 

541

00:24:50,055 --> 00:24:51,423

You never stop trying to get better.

 

542

00:24:51,423 --> 00:24:56,928

You I think it's very important in life

as you go through life to keep that

 

543

00:24:57,929 --> 00:25:00,332

that attitude

and that wanderlust and try to find out

 

544

00:25:00,332 --> 00:25:02,767

what's around the next corner

and what's the next best thing and

 

545

00:25:03,101 --> 00:25:06,304

and get better at your craft

and keep learning and don't think that

 

546

00:25:06,638 --> 00:25:08,273

you don't get stuck in a rut or whatever.

 

547

00:25:08,273 --> 00:25:09,474

You find yourself stuck in a rut.

 

548

00:25:09,474 --> 00:25:11,343

Find a way to get back out of it.

 

549

00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:15,947

Because, I mean, I've been there,

too, but, you know, you have to just.

 

550

00:25:16,214 --> 00:25:18,717

Right. Do a reset from time to time.

 

551

00:25:18,717 --> 00:25:20,218

And I think that's important.

 

552

00:25:20,218 --> 00:25:24,155

And I think I look and I say these

and I'll go through my brilliant list

 

553

00:25:24,155 --> 00:25:26,191

one more time really quickly.

 

554

00:25:26,191 --> 00:25:29,661

Fear and is again

not reaching your potential fear.

 

555

00:25:29,661 --> 00:25:34,866

Number one, negative thinking

pressure distractions for the year

 

556

00:25:37,102 --> 00:25:40,238

and that's

my four or five and that's four.

 

557

00:25:40,238 --> 00:25:40,839

I'll go with. Four.

 

558

00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:41,873

Oh you know what?

 

559

00:25:41,873 --> 00:25:45,410

I'm reading your notes

 

560

00:25:45,844 --> 00:25:49,347

and on your distractions

you had for a while

 

561

00:25:49,848 --> 00:25:54,019

and I kept thinking,

What the hell is f0y completely forgot.

 

562

00:25:54,619 --> 00:25:56,855

Please cue the music. f0y.

 

563

00:25:56,855 --> 00:25:59,124

I should have known for you.

 

564

00:25:59,524 --> 00:26:02,661

But I should be past my prime.

 

565

00:26:02,661 --> 00:26:03,728

You know what I mean? You know.

 

566

00:26:03,728 --> 00:26:05,964

Oh, that's not true.

 

567

00:26:05,964 --> 00:26:07,532

Not anymore.

 

568

00:26:07,532 --> 00:26:09,834

Do you think that now,

 

569

00:26:10,502 --> 00:26:13,405

God, look at what people are doing

into their seventies and eighties.

 

570

00:26:13,405 --> 00:26:15,707

Now it's a whole different time.

 

571

00:26:17,275 --> 00:26:18,677

I'm going to tell you something.

 

572

00:26:18,677 --> 00:26:22,147

Oh, elderly people

 

573

00:26:22,147 --> 00:26:25,884

today are smarter than they were less

than a generation ago.

 

574

00:26:26,184 --> 00:26:29,054

It's a new signal in a study

that I saw recently that

 

575

00:26:29,521 --> 00:26:31,756

74 years old is like the new 59.

 

576

00:26:32,524 --> 00:26:36,127

So this generation, we always say

the younger kids are smarter.

 

577

00:26:36,127 --> 00:26:38,863

Remember, we see that when they get gay,

people get them straight to their

 

578

00:26:38,863 --> 00:26:41,833

like the smartest generation ever,

getting a straight, more sophisticated.

 

579

00:26:42,434 --> 00:26:47,138

Well, on the other end of the spectrum,

this is the older generation

 

580

00:26:47,138 --> 00:26:50,475

is now smarter than any generation

that came before it as well.

 

581

00:26:50,475 --> 00:26:52,577

So just keep that in mind, too.

 

582

00:26:53,244 --> 00:26:54,946

So so there you go.

 

583

00:26:56,281 --> 00:26:57,949

You got any other brains

 

584

00:26:57,949 --> 00:27:01,453

you want to add to this?

 

585

00:27:01,453 --> 00:27:04,956

Focus on the process, Wayne,

not the end result.

 

586

00:27:06,091 --> 00:27:07,425

100%.

 

587

00:27:07,592 --> 00:27:11,763

Well, it's like they say the the journey

sometimes is better than the destination.

 

588

00:27:12,130 --> 00:27:14,933

And in this case,

this destination is death.

 

589

00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:22,140

So definitely,

 

590

00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,277

definitely very true in this case.

 

591

00:27:26,277 --> 00:27:29,280

What else did you learn? That's a tattoo.

 

592

00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,582

That should be a tattoo.

 

593

00:27:30,582 --> 00:27:33,451

Do you have any tattoos?

I don't have any tattoo. Tattoo?

 

594

00:27:33,551 --> 00:27:35,854

I told you before,

you don't put you know you don't.

 

595

00:27:36,521 --> 00:27:36,888

Okay.

 

596

00:27:36,888 --> 00:27:40,291

One size on a steak like this. That

 

597

00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,795

that could be a pretty good tattoo.

 

598

00:27:43,795 --> 00:27:46,264

What destination is death?

 

599

00:27:46,765 --> 00:27:48,366

Oh, yeah.

 

600

00:27:48,366 --> 00:27:49,501

Okay. For any of you

 

601

00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:52,504

listeners out there thinking of a tattoo,

that would be a good one.

 

602

00:27:53,538 --> 00:27:55,974

Destination, death.

 

603

00:27:55,974 --> 00:27:57,909

Someone with a ride.

 

604

00:27:57,909 --> 00:28:00,211

Don't listen to them, everybody.

 

605

00:28:00,211 --> 00:28:01,312

You're the one who said it.

 

606

00:28:01,312 --> 00:28:03,548

Not me. No,

but I never say. Put it on a tattoo.

 

607

00:28:03,782 --> 00:28:06,251

Destination is death.

 

608

00:28:06,251 --> 00:28:08,820

Somebody is going to put that on

as tattoo.

 

609

00:28:08,820 --> 00:28:09,921

Tell you what, if you make that,

 

610

00:28:09,921 --> 00:28:13,291

your tattoo will send you a t shirt

on on the floor t shirt.

 

611

00:28:13,758 --> 00:28:15,293

Make.

 

612

00:28:15,293 --> 00:28:15,894

All right, don't.

 

613

00:28:15,894 --> 00:28:19,197

Do send us a picture

of that tattoo destination of death

 

614

00:28:20,265 --> 00:28:23,201

and we'll

send you an autograph on the floor

 

615

00:28:24,135 --> 00:28:27,706

with Wayne and grab t shirt.

 

616

00:28:27,706 --> 00:28:30,475

Hey, the guys up north,

 

617

00:28:30,475 --> 00:28:33,845

you know, Pete was up there

telling everybody about the podcast,

 

618

00:28:34,212 --> 00:28:38,049

you know, because now Pete's listening.

 

619

00:28:38,049 --> 00:28:40,418

And they said, and one of the guys is

like, What's the name of the show?

 

620

00:28:40,418 --> 00:28:41,119

He's looking it up.

 

621

00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:43,788

And I said on the floor

with Wayne and Rob.

 

622

00:28:44,923 --> 00:28:48,560

And he goes,

Why is it they don't know you?

 

623

00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,862

Right? They don't know.

They don't know. Floor of the year.

 

624

00:28:50,862 --> 00:28:52,063

They don't know who you are.

 

625

00:28:52,063 --> 00:28:54,532

Wow. And where are they from?

 

626

00:28:54,966 --> 00:28:56,367

New York.

 

627

00:28:56,367 --> 00:28:58,503

You know,

you're not a big name up here in New York.

 

628

00:28:58,703 --> 00:29:01,039

Must be. Anyways, they're all going, what?

 

629

00:29:01,172 --> 00:29:03,241

Why is it on the floor with Wayne and Rob?

 

630

00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:04,943

Why does he get top billing?

 

631

00:29:04,943 --> 00:29:09,180

Why does he get like, oh, well, first off,

he really does most of the talking.

 

632

00:29:09,180 --> 00:29:11,382

I just interrupt them a lot. Okay.

 

633

00:29:12,117 --> 00:29:15,153

I said, but the other thing

is, when you say on the floor

 

634

00:29:15,153 --> 00:29:18,990

with Robin Wayne,

it sounds like one name, a guy

 

635

00:29:18,990 --> 00:29:22,494

named Rob I and Robin Wayne.

 

636

00:29:22,994 --> 00:29:25,063

Keep telling yourself that. Yeah. Exactly.

 

637

00:29:25,063 --> 00:29:29,234

I did keep telling myself

that even when the show started, I'm like,

 

638

00:29:30,135 --> 00:29:32,504

Yeah, well,

then I kept thinking and then I.

 

639

00:29:32,570 --> 00:29:33,671

And then it hit me.

 

640

00:29:33,671 --> 00:29:38,076

Robin Wayne They're just going to think

that that's some kind of a country

 

641

00:29:38,076 --> 00:29:40,178

singer or something. Yeah,

you know what I mean?

 

642

00:29:40,879 --> 00:29:42,814

I do. But so you see how I just

 

643

00:29:44,282 --> 00:29:45,216

used funny.

 

644

00:29:45,216 --> 00:29:45,583

Yeah.

 

645

00:29:45,583 --> 00:29:48,987

Turn lemons into lemonade, baby,

right? Yep.

 

646

00:29:48,987 --> 00:29:52,023

And they're all up north nodding

their head like, Yeah, you're right.

 

647

00:29:52,023 --> 00:29:54,692

It does sound strange.

I got it. Yeah, exactly.

 

648

00:29:54,692 --> 00:29:57,996

It really has to be Wayne and Rob.

 

649

00:29:58,530 --> 00:30:00,331

Yeah, it's good explanation.

 

650

00:30:00,331 --> 00:30:01,232

Yeah, it was great.

 

651

00:30:01,232 --> 00:30:06,004

I thought when someone asked me

how come it was when Robin went to me

 

652

00:30:06,538 --> 00:30:07,539

because I'm the man.

 

653

00:30:07,539 --> 00:30:12,010

Would you please basically know

nobody asked you that?

 

654

00:30:12,377 --> 00:30:14,112

No, you're right.

 

655

00:30:14,112 --> 00:30:16,347

Nobody's ever had to ask that now.

 

656

00:30:18,149 --> 00:30:19,217

Okay.

 

657

00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:21,219

What else you got, Rob.

 

658

00:30:24,489 --> 00:30:24,789

Wayne,

 

659

00:30:24,789 --> 00:30:27,525

do you get inspired by other people's

success?

 

660

00:30:28,259 --> 00:30:29,327

Never.

 

661

00:30:29,961 --> 00:30:32,130

Wow. No, of course I do.

 

662

00:30:32,130 --> 00:30:36,868

I listen,

I think I'm actually inspired by by

 

663

00:30:38,269 --> 00:30:40,939

so many if flower men today

 

664

00:30:41,105 --> 00:30:45,176

and women, by the way,

I'm I'm constantly inspired by it.

 

665

00:30:45,510 --> 00:30:45,910

I see.

 

666

00:30:45,910 --> 00:30:49,080

Though, I follow a lot of Instagram

and what have you.

 

667

00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,050

It's so complete. In fact, I want to

I want to have a show.

 

668

00:30:52,050 --> 00:30:53,685

I was thinking about this the other day.

 

669

00:30:53,685 --> 00:30:54,519

I thought they have a show

 

670

00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:57,922

with like five different people

cross country and find out what's next.

 

671

00:30:58,656 --> 00:30:59,657

What's next out there?

 

672

00:30:59,657 --> 00:31:01,860

We've burned floors, right?

 

673

00:31:01,893 --> 00:31:02,861

We've burned them.

 

674

00:31:02,861 --> 00:31:05,063

We've we've wire brush them.

 

675

00:31:05,063 --> 00:31:07,832

We've done

white plague. We've done some bruising.

 

676

00:31:07,832 --> 00:31:10,368

We've done all these different things.

We burned metal into them.

 

677

00:31:10,368 --> 00:31:11,603

We've what's next?

 

678

00:31:11,603 --> 00:31:13,705

What is the next thing

that's going to come along?

 

679

00:31:14,105 --> 00:31:15,607

And that's what I want to know.

 

680

00:31:15,607 --> 00:31:17,976

So I 100% get inspired by people.

 

681

00:31:17,976 --> 00:31:19,744

You know, I'm glad you said that.

 

682

00:31:20,745 --> 00:31:22,647

You know, this week.

 

683

00:31:22,647 --> 00:31:26,584

This week

I did a school in Albany, hometown baby.

 

684

00:31:27,719 --> 00:31:30,788

I felt like a little like Pauline

and I were a real married couple.

 

685

00:31:30,788 --> 00:31:33,658

I was getting up

and we're having coffee together

 

686

00:31:33,658 --> 00:31:37,095

and then I kiss her and go to work

and come home from work.

 

687

00:31:37,095 --> 00:31:39,397

And it was pretty nice,

you know, it was different.

 

688

00:31:40,131 --> 00:31:44,535

So first off, I want to give a shout out

to the guys who came to the school.

 

689

00:31:44,535 --> 00:31:48,573

We had guys from Acme Wood floors,

Bill Powell flooring

 

690

00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:52,143

fishers, floor

sanding and five one eighth floor care.

 

691

00:31:53,211 --> 00:31:56,247

And I'm only saying this

because of what you just said.

 

692

00:31:56,247 --> 00:31:57,548

What's next? Right.

 

693

00:31:57,548 --> 00:31:58,349

What is next?

 

694

00:31:58,349 --> 00:32:00,418

Wood floors. We've just about seen it all.

 

695

00:32:01,119 --> 00:32:04,022

Well, there's a kid who works for Bill

Powell flooring,

 

696

00:32:04,022 --> 00:32:07,458

and some people might have seen

him on Instagram and stuff.

 

697

00:32:08,459 --> 00:32:10,028

His name is Martine

 

698

00:32:10,028 --> 00:32:13,197

and he was just showing me pictures

 

699

00:32:14,098 --> 00:32:17,902

of an additive

that he's been adding into the coating

 

700

00:32:19,137 --> 00:32:22,407

that makes his floors

glow in the dark room.

 

701

00:32:22,774 --> 00:32:25,209

Have you seen that yet or have you?

 

702

00:32:25,677 --> 00:32:26,210

I've seen it.

 

703

00:32:26,210 --> 00:32:29,614

Parties that glow in the dark in paint,

a glow in the dark.

 

704

00:32:29,914 --> 00:32:30,515

Okay.

 

705

00:32:30,515 --> 00:32:33,551

Well, I had never seen a

and he said, this is it.

 

706

00:32:33,551 --> 00:32:36,187

I turned the lights out and then, boom,

 

707

00:32:36,187 --> 00:32:39,023

the floors are glowing in the dark

and I'm like, Wow, that would be

 

708

00:32:39,791 --> 00:32:42,327

pretty cool for a kid's room

or something like that.

 

709

00:32:42,327 --> 00:32:43,861

Yeah, that's awesome. By the way.

 

710

00:32:43,861 --> 00:32:44,562

I know them.

 

711

00:32:44,562 --> 00:32:46,531

You're good guy. And I believe.

 

712

00:32:46,531 --> 00:32:48,032

I know. Martinez.

 

713

00:32:48,032 --> 00:32:48,533

Martinez.

 

714

00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:51,102

Martinez is like his right hand man.

 

715

00:32:51,135 --> 00:32:54,005

I don't know why that would

I definitely no Bill powerful.

 

716

00:32:54,339 --> 00:32:54,906

Bill Powell.

 

717

00:32:54,906 --> 00:32:59,510

APPLAUSE Yes, you might have seen,

I think, on Instagram.

 

718

00:32:59,510 --> 00:33:03,047

He is listed under Marti

in some numbers or so.

 

719

00:33:03,047 --> 00:33:03,414

Okay.

 

720

00:33:03,414 --> 00:33:04,849

So you might have seen him there.

 

721

00:33:04,849 --> 00:33:07,151

Yeah, it sounds too familiar. And I know.

 

722

00:33:08,052 --> 00:33:11,122

I think you met him at the end, WFAA.

 

723

00:33:11,923 --> 00:33:14,025

Yes. Yeah,

I've talked to him down there and.

 

724

00:33:14,025 --> 00:33:15,827

And Bill, so. Yeah. Pretty cool. Yeah.

 

725

00:33:16,794 --> 00:33:18,830

Huh. And that was your last class?

 

726

00:33:18,830 --> 00:33:19,430

Yeah.

 

727

00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:22,200

You know, it was weird yesterday.

 

728

00:33:22,500 --> 00:33:23,601

So I get up.

 

729

00:33:23,601 --> 00:33:26,371

I get up around 530

 

730

00:33:26,571 --> 00:33:28,039

going start coffee

 

731

00:33:28,039 --> 00:33:30,274

and I'm figuring Pauly will be up

any minute now.

 

732

00:33:30,975 --> 00:33:31,709

You know.

 

733

00:33:32,276 --> 00:33:35,847

And I get finished coffee and I'm like,

I want to wake her up.

 

734

00:33:35,913 --> 00:33:37,782

Right. Right.

 

735

00:33:37,782 --> 00:33:40,184

So she didn't get up.

 

736

00:33:40,184 --> 00:33:43,287

So then I go in the bedroom,

sit down on the bed, start getting dressed

 

737

00:33:43,287 --> 00:33:47,458

and you know, the whole thing,

figuring she's going to wake up.

 

738

00:33:47,792 --> 00:33:50,561

Yeah, well, if you're getting dressed

 

739

00:33:50,561 --> 00:33:51,229

right.

 

740

00:33:51,429 --> 00:33:52,864

Oh, you're faking sleeping.

 

741

00:33:52,864 --> 00:33:54,032

Is that what you mean by that?

 

742

00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:56,134

Yeah. Okay. I've roomed with you before.

 

743

00:33:57,301 --> 00:33:59,170

So we don't need to go there.

 

744

00:33:59,170 --> 00:34:01,773

When you stole my toothbrush and used it,

that was just gross.

 

745

00:34:01,773 --> 00:34:02,974

Yeah. Get out of here.

 

746

00:34:04,208 --> 00:34:08,146

So the

lights on, she's still not waking up.

 

747

00:34:08,146 --> 00:34:11,783

I look over at her,

and she just looked so peaceful.

 

748

00:34:12,717 --> 00:34:16,087

And then I was looking to see

if you could tell if she was breathing,

 

749

00:34:16,220 --> 00:34:20,792

you know, I couldn't

tell if she was breathing or not.

 

750

00:34:21,959 --> 00:34:23,261

So what do you do.

 

751

00:34:23,528 --> 00:34:25,696

Puncher? Do

 

752

00:34:25,830 --> 00:34:28,566

do I try to wake her up, you know,

 

753

00:34:28,566 --> 00:34:31,669

and then I'm thinking, well,

if she's dead,

 

754

00:34:31,669 --> 00:34:34,572

they're really not much I can do.

 

755

00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:36,507

And if she's not dead,

why would I wake her up?

 

756

00:34:36,507 --> 00:34:38,843

She looks so peaceful, comfortable.

 

757

00:34:39,277 --> 00:34:39,811

So I.

 

758

00:34:39,811 --> 00:34:42,880

I just left, went to work,

and I'm driving to work.

 

759

00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,650

I'm like, wow, she's dead.

You know, my my daughter in law.

 

760

00:34:45,650 --> 00:34:47,852

I'll probably find her

bringing the kids over or something.

 

761

00:34:47,852 --> 00:34:50,555

And the police will come over to the job

 

762

00:34:51,189 --> 00:34:54,358

and I go, you know,

you know what happened, blah, blah, blah.

 

763

00:34:54,358 --> 00:34:55,560

And then was thinking,

 

764

00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,896

I'm going to have to put on this

big act like, oh, no, oh, my God, no.

 

765

00:34:58,896 --> 00:35:01,933

I, you know, I didn't know

because they would have said, well,

 

766

00:35:01,933 --> 00:35:05,570

you know, did you kill her or did you know

she was, you know what I mean?

 

767

00:35:05,803 --> 00:35:06,204

Yeah.

 

768

00:35:06,204 --> 00:35:09,841

So I had all those scenarios

going through my head.

 

769

00:35:09,974 --> 00:35:12,076

Well, good thing is, she's alive.

 

770

00:35:13,344 --> 00:35:14,312

That is good.

 

771

00:35:14,312 --> 00:35:15,813

She's alive. Yeah. Yeah.

 

772

00:35:15,813 --> 00:35:19,617

Texted me that morning, honey,

and all that, and I was like, Great.

 

773

00:35:19,617 --> 00:35:21,352

I thought you were dead.

 

774

00:35:21,352 --> 00:35:23,488

Yeah, that was my text. Back to her.

 

775

00:35:24,255 --> 00:35:26,324

It's funny where the mind goes. Yeah.

 

776

00:35:27,191 --> 00:35:28,893

That this. Mind?

 

777

00:35:28,893 --> 00:35:31,162

Yes, yeah, yeah. You know.

 

778

00:35:32,096 --> 00:35:34,532

Yeah, that was the whole thing though.

 

779

00:35:34,532 --> 00:35:35,766

The whole ride over there.

 

780

00:35:35,766 --> 00:35:40,204

I was thinking,

how can I look it look to the police that

 

781

00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,840

oh got you know.

 

782

00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,342

Yeah, yeah.

 

783

00:35:44,342 --> 00:35:47,345

We're I'm in my head going

yeah I knew she was dead hours ago.

 

784

00:35:47,345 --> 00:35:50,314

Yeah, I thought she was, but I went to

work cause I wasn't sure completely.

 

785

00:35:50,314 --> 00:35:52,783

I didn't want to wake her up.

Yeah. You know.

 

786

00:35:52,783 --> 00:35:56,187

Yeah, yeah.

 

787

00:35:56,220 --> 00:36:00,358

I could have checked in if she was dead,

maybe tried to resuscitate or something

 

788

00:36:00,358 --> 00:36:01,492

like that. That never

 

789

00:36:02,527 --> 00:36:03,794

crossed my mind.

 

790

00:36:03,794 --> 00:36:05,229

No, but.

 

791

00:36:06,030 --> 00:36:07,198

You know, 20.

 

792

00:36:07,198 --> 00:36:10,001

You know what they say about hindsight.

 

793

00:36:10,368 --> 00:36:10,968

Right? Yeah.

 

794

00:36:10,968 --> 00:36:13,771

Yep, yeah, yeah.

 

795

00:36:13,771 --> 00:36:15,039

All right.

 

796

00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:17,375

Well, Rob, I think we said it all.

 

797

00:36:17,375 --> 00:36:19,610

I think we as usual,

 

798

00:36:20,077 --> 00:36:23,114

I think we covered everything again.

 

799

00:36:23,114 --> 00:36:24,182

Yeah. Yep.

 

800

00:36:24,182 --> 00:36:25,316

So and thanks for your your input as well.

803

00:36:33,424 --> 00:36:34,225

worked.

 

804

00:36:34,559 --> 00:36:36,794

It won't get cut there on the floor.

 

805

00:36:36,794 --> 00:36:39,063

Dropped on the floor. Huh? Yeah.
