1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,520
Corey, I think I remember you 
had a time when you were working

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:07,200
full time, bartending on 
weekends and taking classes 

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,360
during the week. 
What was that period like for 

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:11,680
you and how did you manage it 
all? 

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,800
It was very stressful. 
I mean from the time I got up at

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,040
6:30 in the morning, 6 O clock 
in the morning till 11/11/30 at 

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,480
night when I went to bed, every 
half hour of my day was planned 

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,200
out. 
So I was busy as fuck. 

9
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:32,119
But once I was started using the
time management techniques that 

10
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:36,040
I learned from Tony Robbins, 
then I actually had more time 

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,920
than I was expecting to have. 
So on the weekends I was able to

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,280
go out with my friends and be 
social and, and have a social 

13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,360
life. 
But hey, like Monday through 

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,600
Friday, it's like I was busy. 
I had no time for anything 

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,800
because I was either at school 
or I was working down in Miami 

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,720
or I was trying to get my 
homework done or, or go to 

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,360
classes. 
Because a lot of the classes 

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,800
were like Monday, Wednesday at 
night because they were night 

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,440
classes, because it was the 
program was for working 

20
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,560
professionals, because a lot of 
people in the construction 

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,400
management program were already 
working in the industry. 

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,400
And the reason the classes were 
at night is so they could work 

23
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,640
during the day and go to class 
at night like night school 

24
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,160
basically, which I loved it. 
It made it possible for me to 

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,480
work and get a lot of experience
and do a lot of things 

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,520
concurrently. 
So I'm making good money 10 and 

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,520
bar making OK money working 
construction. 

28
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,480
Actually when I looked at my per
hour rate I made more money 

29
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,800
tendon borrow than I did as a 
project engineer for the GCI was

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,080
working for. 
But it enabled me to get 

31
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,440
experience and pay my bills, 
have a new car, have all new 

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,200
furniture in my apartment, and 
have a great life and lifestyle.

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,320
It was very stressful. 
And for many years after that, 

34
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,440
anytime I get stressed out, I 
wake up in the middle of night 

35
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,760
thinking I had a test that I 
needed to study for that I 

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,160
forgot about. 
And if I didn't pass it, I was 

37
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,960
going to fail. 
And I would I'd have to wait a 

38
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,920
whole year to graduate because 
one of my classes was offered 

39
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,520
once a year in the spring and I 
was supposed to graduate in the 

40
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,360
spring of April 1995. 
You know, I didn't pass that 

41
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:16,320
class then I'd have to wait till
the spring of 96 to take the 

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,960
class and then I wouldn't be 
able to graduate till April of 

43
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,600
1996. 
But April of 1996, that would 

44
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,080
have delayed me a whole year. 
So I got married in that year, I

45
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,840
moved to Orlando. 
I worked for Syntex Rooney for 

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,560
that whole year and that summer 
of 96 was when I started my 

47
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,000
Bifix and Sell business. 
So that would have pushed all my

48
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,240
plans back a whole year. 
So I had a real fear of that. 

49
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,840
And for probably 10 years after 
I graduated, I'd wake up 

50
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,480
stressed and thinking I had a 
test that I didn't study for. 

51
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,360
And for about the first two or 
three minutes when I woke up, it

52
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,480
really seemed real and kind of 
freaked me out. 

53
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,440
Then I realized like, oh fuck, 
I've been out of college for a 

54
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,320
couple years now. 
So it was stressful. 

55
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,280
And that's why as I've gotten 
older and gotten more control of

56
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,080
my life and my schedule, it's 
like I don't really like 

57
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,120
appointments. 
Like I like to just get up when 

58
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,120
I get up, film, when I film 
work, when I want to work. 

59
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,320
I mean, obviously when I do 
phone sessions, I have to be 

60
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,600
there for those appointments. 
Like this live stream, just 

61
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,760
having a 2O clock live stream, 
you know, So my day in my 

62
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,840
morning, I think about that. 
I got to get my videos done and 

63
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,560
the other things I do in the 
morning, I get that done before 

64
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,920
everybody shows up so we can do 
our our live stream. 

65
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,080
So it's like sometimes you got 
to make those sacrifices. 

66
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,280
So I got a lot done in a very 
short period of time. 

67
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,800
And that's when you're young, 
you should do things like that, 

68
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,640
Go to school and work at the 
same time and develop your 

69
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,680
social life at the same time and
get experience because it 

70
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,760
compresses your learning curve. 
It compresses the amount of time

71
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,440
because great things take time. 
Starting a business, climbing 

72
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,480
the corporate ladder, that shit 
takes time. 

73
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,680
And you got to think of terms of
a decade or more to accomplish 

74
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,880
really big goals and really big 
dreams. 

75
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,400
And you know, a lot of guy, if 
you're in your 20s, you can't 

76
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,320
just fuck around and waste your 
20s. 

77
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,200
It's like you got to be serious 
about what you want because then

78
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,880
you get a lot of experience in 
your 20s and in your 30s and you

79
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,279
can be building your business 
and really be on the upswing. 

80
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:21,880
So you don't want to be like 40 
years old. 

81
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,000
I'm even though some people do 
it and going OK, now it's time 

82
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,040
to get serious about life 
because you know, when you're 

83
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,680
younger, you got more energy, 
you're sharper, you're more 

84
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,440
prone to do those things. 
But as you get older, maybe you 

85
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,680
have kids, you have a 
relationship, you got 

86
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,360
commitments. 
It's not so easy to do those 

87
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,560
things. 
That's why I like, you know, 

88
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,480
Chunky living in the mountains. 
It's like when he came and told 

89
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,040
me he was moving away, I was, I 
was bummed about it. 

90
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,720
I mean, everybody's bummed, dad 
bummed. 

91
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,600
We're all girls are bummed. 
We're going to miss you and 

92
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,400
we're used to having around 
because anytime there's a 

93
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,120
computer problem or an issue, 
everybody's like Chunky. 

94
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,640
But at the end of the day, you 
know, he needs to go do the 

95
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,200
stuff. 
When he's young, he doesn't have

96
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,160
a wife, doesn't have kids, 
doesn't have all these 

97
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,960
commitments, and he can go see 
the world because otherwise, 

98
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:09,800
when's he going to be able to do
this stuff? 

99
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,240
When he's like 6065, then he's 
going to start living his life 

100
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,640
and traveling. 
A lot of people do that and a 

101
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,960
lot of people wait and don't 
really experience life when 

102
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,120
they're young. 
And then when they get older, 

103
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,400
their bodies are too broken down
because they didn't take care of

104
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,760
themselves to really enjoy, 
enjoy their life and do the 

105
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,560
things that they wanted to do. 
So This is why I like, you know,

106
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,520
I'm 56 and I, I literally did 
everything in my bucket list by 

107
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,800
the time I was 323334 years old.
I everything I wanted to do, 

108
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,440
everything I wanted to 
experience, everything I wanted 

109
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,800
to buy, I did it all and 
everything since it is like 

110
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,960
gravy. 
So that's the advantage. 

111
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,720
And you know, my hope for Chunky
is that he gets to do that too. 

112
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,880
He gets to experience all the 
things he wanted to do. 

113
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,600
One of the places he always 
wanted to travel was like Japan.

114
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,960
He's been there several times. 
He's about to go there again. 

115
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,640
And it's like, you want to be 
like Chunky, You want to be like

116
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:07,600
me. 
You want to, you want to do 

117
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,320
those things when you're young 
and you have the ability to do 

118
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,360
it. 
You don't have all those fucking

119
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,600
commitments. 
Yeah, especially I think moving 

120
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,360
here helped me a lot with my 
time schedule things. 

121
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,960
I do work every single day here,
but now when I have my free 

122
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,240
time, I really appreciate it. 
I really like it. 

123
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,960
It's really helped me schedule 
my time where it's like, oh 

124
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,920
shoot, I let me go do a hike 
today right now because like in 

125
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,640
this morning I woke up at like 9
AMI was like, oh shit. 

126
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,240
If I do a hike now like an hour 
and a half and I can make it 

127
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,840
right for the podcast right in 
time and then the rest of the 

128
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:36,000
day all my stuff's done. 
Like then I can go, I'm going to

129
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,440
go to comedy show tonight. 
But I've still worked at like 

130
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,480
it's really helped a lot, 
especially with the time 

131
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,560
management, time scheduling 
thing and just oh, you know, I 

132
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,800
can't work everyday and actually
look forward to it too. 

133
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,280
Just take value of your time. 
Said, oh, I'm just going to sit 

134
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:51,520
around on my phone or watch a 
movie or something. 

135
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,920
Like, no, I only have 4 hours 
today. 

136
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,320
Let me make the most of it. 
Yep. 

137
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:57,760
Which is really. 
Good. 

138
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,400
Yeah. 
So I'm excited for him because I

139
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,320
I know what it did for me, being
able to experience those things.

140
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,480
It's like earlier in the week, 
Caroline's like, hey, my mom's 

141
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,040
in town. 
I was like, fucking go have fun 

142
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,200
with your mom. 
It's more important because you 

143
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,920
can always come back to work and
do videos and do editing and 

144
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,600
other things. 
So it's like I want the people 

145
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,520
that work for me to have that 
same kind of kind of freedom to 

146
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,640
do those things. 
Enjoy life. 

147
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,080
Because again, to me, the whole 
purpose of life is to enjoy it. 

148
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,920
You don't want to say no, you 
have to come to work. 

149
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,440
You can't. 
You can't move away chunky. 

150
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,480
This is too important. 
I want you to miss out on all 

151
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,640
these things and wait till 
you're 70 years old and then go 

152
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,120
move to the mountains and 
experience that. 

153
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,720
No, this is definitely thank you
again too. 

154
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,880
But that's honestly been the 
best summer of my life. 

155
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,120
Like. 
Awesome, man. 

156
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:42,800
Well, that's what you need to be
doing. 

157
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,120
You need to be doing these 
things right, Right, Anna? 

158
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:53,880
Anna just decided a few weeks 
ago she's had enough and she 

159
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,600
said you could take this fucking
job and shove it up your ass to 

160
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,320
her other. 
She didn't say that she's too 

161
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,880
nice for that, but she resigned 
from her management job. 

162
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:09,360
And yeah, she works with us when
we we film, but other than that,

163
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,600
she's kind of enjoying her life 
and doing what she wants, Right,

164
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,040
Anna? 
I did lose weight. 

165
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,280
I'm excited to see what in the 
summer, especially for the rest 

166
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,920
of the summer too. 
I'm trying to like hike at least

167
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,640
every single day or every other 
day and it would be exciting to 

168
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,200
see like my car. 
I actually like cardio now. 

169
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,360
It's crazy. 
Just turns out like it really 

170
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,080
helps a lot. 
And I definitely feel, I feel so

171
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,720
much better too. 
There's some sort of energy the 

172
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,559
other day. 
It's like sustained, yeah, begin

173
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,039
like 20. 
I mean, I don't feel like 20,000

174
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:44,440
steps a day, 16,000 steps a day.
So it's been really good. 

175
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,280
Oh wow. 
That's a lot. 

176
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,160
Good for you man. 
I'm happy that you're happy. 

177
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,440
Working in the restaurant too, 
definitely. 

178
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:58,560
Yeah. 
I'm always moving, but it's 

179
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:00,840
definitely slowing down now. 
Too decent. 

180
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,080
Starting to end, yeah.
