Years ago he got in a tough car accident.
It got me to reevaluate my I started a little company called
Allen Lazarus LLC. What you'll never learn in
school, but desperately need to know.
A global top 100 forecast and he embodies resilience, greets
grind, execution, grind, and of course, execution, which is
something I stand for myself. Steven Spielberg, that dude's
got a great body of work. Jaws, Jurassic Park, I can keep
going. Indiana Jones, but we'll so
obviously studios are going to trust Steven Spielberg to make a
film more than Joe Schmo. But in the beginning he was a
Joe Schmo. So you get to start from the
bottom. We all do.
You can reprogram yourself just like you can reprogram this
iPhone. You can reprogram your belief
systems. You can change what you say,
think, do, feel and believe. Potential is something that is
possible in the future if you do XY and Z in the present.
Welcome to the Kingdom's podcast ranked in the global top 3%,
where powerful minds share game changing insights on leadership,
growth mindset and business success.
Real life ladies and gentlemen, you once again welcome to the
King James podcast. And today I've got will be
fighting out of Mazi Cheeset, United States of America.
Big welcome Colin, the next level university hero he.
Is the most unique intro I've ever had on a podcast Thank you
man I'm good I'm really good I'm I'm in a great mood and I'm
eager to inspire motivate and educate 10 years ago he got in a
tough car accident and got me to re evaluate I started a little
company called Alan Lazarus LLC. What you'll never learn in
school, but desperately need to know.
And so I really appreciate what you do.
I respect what you do. I respect what I'm doing.
I think it's important because 30-40, fifty years ago, podcasts
like this didn't exist. As a matter of fact, podcasts
like this didn't even exist 2021 years ago, I think is when the
very first podcast was ever created.
So I'm great to be here. Thank you.
I always say that gratitude is good attitude and of course,
when a person shares their time with you, they share their life
with you because the SI unit of measuring life is time.
So let's get down to the guest introduction.
I have prepped a really, really fantastic introduction for you
because I appreciate you as well.
What you do is highly, highly commendable.
And you know, the real, they say recognize a real.
So please welcome today's guest, Alan Lazarus, an engineering or
an engineer 10 entrepreneur, right.
So who's journey from a near fatal car accident led to a
global top 100 podcast. He embodies resilience, great
grind, execution, a grind and of course execution, which is
something I stand for myself, and of course transformation.
But with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer
Engineering from WPI, an MBA and leadership roles at Lens, Taco R
and TI Robot Synsater with over 20 million in revenue of Cognex
over 3,000,000 plus sales territory, Alan brings a unique
blend of data-driven rigor and heart centered coaching Saints
found in Next Level University in 2015.
He's produced over 2100 episodes logged in 10,000 plus hours of
coaching. And of course, I say 10,000
hours is what it takes to master any field.
So you can call him a grandmaster if you will.
And of course, he's inspired listeners in over 180 countries.
Today he'll share his no BS approach and framework for Chief
and Peak performance in health, wealth and love while staying
authentically aligned. Ladies and gentlemen, please
make welcome not Alan Sugar, but Alan Lazarus.
Aha, how are you Gala? I'm.
Good man. Yeah, yeah.
Heck of the words. Alan Sugar is the richest man.
But I think in America all my books are Alan Lazarus is the
richest. Man, I would say if you take
health, wealth and love, I would say I'm.
You know. I'm very wealthy in those three.
I'm very grateful to be and, and ultimately thank you for the
intro. It's interesting to hear not a
lot of people open with my corporate stuff.
You, you opened the podcast with my corporate stuff.
I appreciate it. You obviously have been on my
LinkedIn. Yes.
And of course definitely I'm a corporate guy or would I?
Yeah, I am a corporate guy being there done that global be crew
accounting firms, PWCKPMGS like you would always appreciate a
person with a corporate background.
So from me to you, it's a love and respect to what you've been
able to build. It's a body of work it.
Is it's a body of work that is a core value of mine.
Your body of work matters. I appreciate you sharing my body
of work because I think think you need to know who you're
talking to. I think over time it's, it's
just like an asset. It's, it grows it imagine a home
that you renovate and you improve and you renovate and you
improve and you build it out and you renovate, you improve new
kitchen, new dining room, finished basement.
It's going to be of more value. I hope to be a high value man
and I hope to continue to appreciate as an asset.
So thank you for sharing the body of work.
I, I don't think my work is everything about me, obviously,
but I do think it matters. I think it matters a lot and I
think we've lost sight of that. Yes, that's one thing.
You know, I keep telling people, people have lost sight of
respect and kindness. And for me, my core values in
life are kindness, respect and hospitality.
That's what I stand for, you know, and anybody who's had
personal interactions and personal encounters with me will
know yes. I don't just speak those values.
I I leave by these values. It's as difficult to, but kind
is difficult to be respectful in this age and time, right?
But one thing I know for sure is when you're kind, when you're
respectful people, even people that don't live up to those
values at it. Of course, of course.
I'm glad you have clarity on your core values.
I've got mine over here, and I think that's a good lesson in
and of itself. Already is mind is potential,
legacy and rationality and I defined them.
Potential is a deep belief in what human beings are truly
capable of. That's my #1 core value is I
believe in your potential. I believe in my potential.
Anyone out there watching or listening?
I believe in your potential and I do, I really do.
I mean, human beings are capable of unbelievable things over
time. The.
Mind is is endless. Of course.
Speaking of potential, I really want to pick you up on that.
I pick your brain on it, but has potential is something I, I talk
about a lot and I tell my friends like, you don't want to
get old and look back and think about the fact that you did not
achieve your potentials. And I tell people this when
you're young, people judge you based on your potentials, but as
you grow older, people judge you based on your credentials.
So potential versus credential, right?
Where do you draw the line between judging a person based
on potentials or judging a person based on credentials?
Great question. Potential is something that is
possible in the future if you do XY and Z in the present.
So we all have the potential to achieve a certain goal at the
end of the quarter. In 50-6 days, Q3 will be over.
But how many of us will actually do it?
And a good metaphor is I have a Next Level podcast accelerator
program. We've done 19 groups every
quarter for almost five years. And we were doing a training
yesterday, group 19, there's 10 in every group, 10 podcasters in
every group. And we were looking at the
podcast stats, 4 million podcasts have been produced.
Of the four million that have been produced, a very, very,
very small fraction ever make it past 10 episodes.
Yes, a lot of people are not consistent.
Yeah. And an even smaller fraction are
still in production. A very small percentage of those
4 million still have have had an episode within the last 90 days
and an even smaller percentage of getting to 100 episodes and
an even smaller percentage have monetized their podcast.
And so Kevin and I are very, very grateful at this stage
because we started eight years ago and we bootstrapped this
thing. No investors, just us
reinvesting, reinvesting, reinvesting and we just had
$100,000 our first $100,000 month last month in July we work
with. A hard listen.
Thank you. Thank you.
We work with 110 podcasters and business owners every single
month everywhere from coaching, podcasting, we have a book club,
we got all kinds of stuff. Now eighteen person team, I have
23 clients personally, we work with 110 podcasters and business
owners. The reason I'm saying that is
because of your question. Your question had to do with
potential versus credentials. Both matter.
Credentials are things you have already achieved and they
matter. Potential is what inspires you
and motivates you and gets you up in the morning.
Credentials are what gives you the credibility to go and do
things in a bigger, better way. Because what I've come to learn,
I'm 36 years old now and, and when I was younger, you're
right, people would base their decisions and the way they see
me based on potential. But as you get older and older
and older, you realize most people are not actually going
to. We started a podcast, for
example, eight years ago. Did the amount of podcasters
I've met over the last eight years that are not podcasting
anymore. A lot of success in life is
staying power. One of the people I interviewed
on the Business Growth University podcast, his name's
Michael Burt. He says long obedience in the
same direction. Can you stick with it long term?
We all have potential. Not the same.
I always joke, I'd say I'm never going to beat LeBron James at
basketball. OK, that was not in the cards
for me. However, we all have potential.
But who among us is going to realize that potential?
Who among us is going to go the distance?
Who among us is going to stay committed long term?
Who among us is going to overcome failure and adversity?
And I think it's a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly,
yearly rhyme. And to me, your body of work
speaks volumes. Steven Spielberg, that dude's
got a great body of work. Jaws, Jurassic Park, ETI can
keep going, Indiana Jones book. So obviously studios are going
to trust Steven Spielberg to make a film more than Joe Schmo
and but in the beginning he was a Joe Schmo.
So you get to start from the bottom.
We all do. Absolutely.
You know, we all have to start from the bottom.
Speaking of starting from the bottom, I remember when I
started these podcasts, right? I always had to like send out
outreaches, send out cold mails, you know, send out DMS to
people. Please be on my podcast part.
It's amazing. I was said, I think yesterday or
two days ago, I, I, I looked at my e-mail, it's just so clogged.
And I saw that there was a particular guy who's an
executive, you know, in a company in your neck of the
weeds. And I discovered this guy had
sent me 3 mails, sent me the initial e-mail.
I did not see it. The second one was a follow up.
And then the third follow up was what I saw as came to be on this
podcast. And, you know, it just made me
reflect like, wow, you stay long enough, right?
Yep. You won't be the one seeking,
you will be the one being sought after.
Most people don't even have that.
What I say grind the grind and of course the execution to stay
long enough. That's why I'm so grateful to be
here because in the beginning it was cricket.
I had a lot to say and no one cared.
So I don't take it for granted man.
It's important now. Have I earned it?
Yes. I did 11,066 coaching sessions,
trainings and podcasts over the last decade, so I'm earning my
stripes and I remember when no one gave a shit.
So it's really important to never lose sight of that.
It's a duality. You have to be really grateful
for the opportunity and you have to be discerning for what
opportunities you. Yes.
You know, not all opportunities are actually caught up for you.
You need to select what you you are actually, I would I say
dispense your energy towards. And I think, yeah, discernment
is a very, very sound word to to describe that.
You know, they say adversity is a blessing in disguise, right?
And who better to embody conquering adversity than than
yourself? You lost your father at the age
of 2, and, of course, nearly lost your own life at the age of
26. How did these, you know,
setbacks reshape your own definition of success in life?
Yeah, I think the first thing to understand about that is right
now, it's so unique because as I've earned my stripes, I'm 36
now, and I come with a nice, you know, colored shirt.
And I've got awards in the background.
I've got, you know, my body of work behind me.
I have a lot of accolades at this stage, my e-mail signature,
10,000 hours. But just like everyone else, I
started from the bottom and now I look like a silver Spooner in
some ways, right? I was born and raised in
Massachusetts, and the United States is the largest economy on
the planet by far. It's actually not even close.
You look at the statistics. The numbers don't lie.
Yeah, they don't. They don't had a lot of
advantages in certain things, but I look like someone who
started on third base. I couldn't even see the
ballpark, man couldn't even see the ballpark.
And here's my point. So I'll give the three
advantages. I had three advantages and
everything else was against me. And I'm sharing this not to talk
about me, but I want the listeners thinking of their own
situation because now I look like such a silver Spooner man,
it's hilarious. Must be nice with all your
degrees and you know it's you have no idea.
So father died when I was almost 3.
His name was John Mccorkle and I had a stepfather from age 3 to
14. And my mom and stepdad not get
along. And that's a very polite way to
put it. And my stepfather left at 14.
He took his entire extended family with him and 95% of the
income as well. So we went from sort of boats
and ski trips to I get free lunch at high school now because
our income is so low, my mom trades in her BMW for little
Honda Civic. We're not going to starve by any
means, but we don't have cable and I don't know how I'm going
to go to college because I can't afford it.
WPI, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, It's kind of like a
mini MIT in Massachusetts is it's one of the best engineering
colleges in the world and it was $50,000 a year back then.
That's a lot. Yes, dude, it was one of the
most expensive colleges in the world.
And I went from I hope I get in to I can't go.
I even if I do get in, I don't know if I'm going to be able to
go because I can't afford it. So I bootstrapped my entire way
through high school. I got straight A's through all
of high school. I got what's called the
President's Award signed by George W Bush.
It's behind me right there. Yeah.
And that's how few people get it.
I have a letter actually underneath it right over there.
It's behind my chair. I have a letter signed by George
W Bush, actually by him because that's how few people get it and
basically you just have to get a 95 or above GPA for all report
cards for all of high school. SO4 report cards per year. 4
years, 16 report cards straight. I got 189 in honors English and
luckily it was weighted because it was an honors class and I
never took honors English again. I was a big math in science guy,
89 in honors English. Miss Deziletz, How dare you?
Poetry, man, Who gives that shit?
I'm kidding. I'm kidding, all right.
But anyways, so I got into WPII, got all the scholarships and
financial aid, and I went and got my computer engineering
degree. I graduated with high
distinction. That was brutal.
Computer engineering was brutal. And then I got my master's in
business, and then I was off to the races in corporate.
But the part I haven't shared yet is when I was 14 and my
stepdad left, my sister moved out that year.
My mom got in a fight with my Aunt Sandy that same year,
actually about my stepdad. And then my Aunt Sandy
ostracized us from that side of the family.
So I kind of lost three families by the time I was 14.
And so abandonment challenges, Luckily, my response to that
socially, it was fawn. It was.
So there's fight, flight, freeze and fawn.
You become this chameleon. You're a social coward.
I think we also live in two worlds.
You have to live in the real world and the social world.
The social world is the wedding photos, the real world is the
marriage. And in the social world, I
became a chameleon. Fit in, fit in, fit in.
Don't stand out, don't lose any more friends and family
unconsciously. But behind the scenes, it was
aim higher, work harder, get smarter, aim higher, work
harder, get smarter, aim higher, work harder, get smarter.
It, it, the drive that I had was ridiculous.
So kind of lose three families by the time I'm 14 years old and
I become the Super achiever who is just prove yourself, prove
yourself, prove it, prove yourself, prove yourself.
And I think there's some merit to that.
I I, I think that's good. You got to have a chip on your
shoulder a little bit. Yeah, but you can't let the chip
drive you forever. You have to evolve.
And so then I got in my car accident at 26.
My dad died in a car when he was 28 in 1991, when I was 2 and I
was 26. Head on collision.
My fault. We talked about this in the last
episode, and it was not a Fender Bender.
This was hefty. This was, you know, 30 miles an
hour, head on collision. Not good.
Fortunately, no one was killed. We were very rattled, but no one
was permanently injured. But that was my wake up call.
That was the second chance my dad never got.
And from that moment until now, that was 10 years ago, I've been
on this mission and the mission is bringing personal development
to the world. My first company, well,
technically my second company, but my first company after that
car accident was Alan Lazarus LLC.
What you'll never learn in school, but desperately need to
know. Because I was an academic man.
I learned straight As blah blah blah blah.
And I was like, why didn't I learn anything about fitness?
Why didn't I learn anything about nutrition and courage and
vulnerability and character and proactivity?
Why didn't I learn anything about productivity?
Why didn't I learn goal setting? Why didn't I learn how to
reverse engineer finish lines? Why didn't I learn about grind
and execution and grit? Why didn't I learn anything that
matters? Still salty about it.
And so I was like, you know what?
I'm going to start a company and I'm going to bring personal
development to the masses. What you'll never learn in
school, but desperately need to know.
Good luck. Good luck getting speeches at
high schools and colleges with that tagline.
And I did, I actually got, I actually got several and I've
been on that journey for 10 years now.
And that's when the 10,000 hours began.
And I tracked in these little black notebooks everything habit
tracking and metrics. And I'm an engineer, so
everything's reverse engineered. And here I am 10 years later,
11,066 coaching session trainings and podcasts later,
this will be 11,067. And.
Seven. I love the number 7.
Seven, baby, and it won't be the best, but it won't be the worst.
I'm kidding. It probably is the best,
honestly, because I get better each time.
At least I try to. Yeah, that, that that's, that's
a thing, You know, like every time you keep topping it, you
keep breaking your own bracket. And like, some of my friends are
tired of me saying, wow, that was like the best podcast I've
ever heard. You say like it's like every new
one is like the best one. Dude, of course it is.
This is, this is supposed to be better than what I've done in
the past. This is I am an accumulated
compound effect of everything I've done up to this moment.
So if I'm not speaking better now than when I was 26,
obviously I've gotten worse. So it's very important to
understand that everyone has potential, not everyone's going
to reach it. And it's an asymptote.
There's a mathematical asymptotic function where you
get closer and closer and closer and closer to 100%, but you
never get there. So I'm trying to reach 100% of
my trip potential and I'm reaching for that every day.
And I know I'll never be done. You're not going to be.
You're never going to be. I'm good now.
Yeah. I don't need to work out
anymore. I'm.
I'm done. No, you're going to learn and
grow and improve forever. And this iPhone, the iPhone 16
Pro Max, you think Apple's going to come up with it?
You think Apple's like, you know what?
I think we're done with iPhones. No, they're going to come out
with the iPhone 17 Pro Max and then the 18 and then the 19 and,
and it's going to upgrade the software and it's going to
upgrade the hardware and it's going to get better.
Getting better is the most important thing on planet Earth.
The reason why we're not all in caves is because we got better.
And unfortunately, you know, you, you never see.
I mean, right now we're on Riverside.
At one point Riverside didn't exist.
We're on a Sony ZV. That camera didn't exist.
We're on the Internet at one point the Internet didn't exist.
We have the lights in our studio.
At one point lights didn't exist.
So what are we capable of? I always say this.
I say cars were invented when there were only horses.
Airplanes were invented when there was only cars.
Rocket ships were invented when there was only airplanes.
Imagine what else we can do. Dragons you.
Know everything you see around you at one point was just in
someone's mind. It's it's beautiful that
continues breathing and drive towards improvement.
And of course I say the only room that never gets filled up
is the room for improvement. I've never heard that before.
That's great. I'll give you that light.
I'll give you the only, the only room that ever gets filled up is
the room for improvement. And that there's a proverb, you
know, we have come from in Nigeria.
It's a Yoruba proverb. It says the day we die is the
day we rest. The day we die is the day we
stop learning. You know, in life there's no
rest until we die. Never stop learning until the
day we die. So until you accept that fact,
right? I don't know.
You just have to accept it. Striving is good for you.
I would say this, I say, Do you think Michael Jordan is happier
now or back when he was striving?
People think, well, he's happier now, No chance.
He was happiest and most fulfilled when he was going for
the championships. Yes, that's a thing with human
mind, right? Like when you have something to
look, pursue, to look forward to the pursuit, that faith keeps
you going. Yeah.
When you you have those goals, you just need to create
something new. To to you and we've all seen
people who retire and then they start to lose their body and
lose their mind. I get depressed.
Yeah I so my grandfather passed away and my grandma and
grandfather they were two like most in love couple.
My grandmother after that declined drastically because she
lost purpose. She lost she lost her purpose.
She she lost her mind. If you don't use it, you lose
it. And I mean, you look at these
cross fitters, it's these are animals.
I love it. But they're not just doing it
for fun. They're competing for a
something of meaning and a value.
These trophies, I could care. It's not about the trophy, it's
about the man I had to become to achieve it.
It's about the goal, it's about who you become.
You know, it's the goal of the goal.
What's the goal of the goal? The goal of the goal.
So the goal is to get the trophy.
Great. OK, to win a bodybuilding
competition. The goal of the goal is for the
man I become to achieve it. The goal of the goal of the goal
is to reach my full potential. The goal of the goal of the goal
of the goal is to be fulfilled. You're not going to be fulfilled
unless you're reaching your full potential.
I am convinced of that because your highest self is always
going to be nudging you saying Alan get your shit together.
We always have to to go for something.
And you know, that's one thing I always say at the end of the
podcast, right to the audience, always go for something in your
life. Always go for something in your
life. And of course, you know, before
we hit that end, we know you don't have so much time today.
I'd love for you to talk about re engineering because you're an
engineer and of course you've got that engineer's edge.
So you have the engineering training.
And one thing I know about engineers, their purpose is just
one thing, problem solving and that solution mindset as an edge
for you. To So when you hear engineer,
you think a couple things. You think design, you think on
purpose, you think mathematics, you think root cause analysis,
and you think about building things, designing things,
Bridges, infrastructure, phones, engineers built this phone
manufacturing engineers and continuous improvement engineers
and software engineers. Engineering is about
understanding why things are the way they are, understanding how
things work, and then setting new objectives and then taking
it apart piece by piece so that you can rebuild it better.
So if I took this phone apart, some people would have no idea
how it work. Some people have an iPhone and
they have no idea how it works. Most people, actually.
That was what I was. Going to say.
Is what? It is.
They know their thing, whatever their thing is.
But this phone has a motherboard, it has a processor,
it has random access memory, it has a hard drive, it has
software, firmware, hardware. It has connection to the
Internet, it updates overnight. It has access to a global
marketplace of apps. And if I take this phone apart
and break it down component by component by component, I'm
going to understand it. And when I understand it, I can
find ways to make it better. And that's what engineering is
about. Do that same shit with your
life. I take apart my life in every
regard. I have picked myself apart in
every regard. Why do I think that?
OK, interesting. My past.
Watch the movie of my own life. OK, Why did that happen?
Why did that happen? Why did that happen?
OK, how did that work? How does that work?
Why did that happen? You can reprogram yourself just
like you can reprogram this iPhone.
You can reprogram your belief systems.
You can change what you say, think, do, feel and believe.
You can change where you invest your time, effort and money.
You can change the person's places, things and ideas you
surround yourself with. And that's all I do in my
coaching. I I help people come to me for
what they want, which is a goal. What they really need is to
reprogram themselves because they don't understand
themselves, others in the world. It's like a self driving car
that doesn't have an accurate current location, doesn't have
an accurate destination location and doesn't have accurate data
on the terrain. So it thinks there's a road,
it's really a lake and people keep driving off a Cliff and
then blaming the world when in reality they think inaccurately.
The majority of our problems in humanity, I can give you the
root cause right now. We think inaccurately.
If you think women don't care about height, you're wrong.
Statistically speaking, the majority of them do.
Trust me, I used to be short. You think I look young.
Now imagine me in high school, right?
If you think women don't care about muscular men, you're
wrong. You're inaccurate.
I can give you 1000. We used to put leeches on our
skin to cure illness. We used to think the earth was
flat. Apparently there's some people
who still do. You're wrong.
And, and the truth is, is science and mathematics and
physics and chemistry and biology and Physiology and
psychology and neuroscience, these are sciences that help us
understand the human condition. All of AI is built on how the
brain works. Machine learning is built on
human beings. It's we understand ourself,
others in the world. We, we've learned how dolphins
work and how their brains are different than other mammals and
prefrontal cortex and dorsolateral and all the stuff.
The point is, is you can learn about yourself, others in the
world, and when you do, you'll think more accurately.
And when you think more accurately you can make better
choices. And when you make better
choices, your life will be better.
Statistically. No one's perfect, but I can make
way better choices. I'm 36.
Do you? I'm Allen version 3.6.
Allen version 3.7 is going to be way better, but Allen version
3.6 would wipe the walls with Allen 2.6.
Wouldn't even be close. It would be comical, yeah.
And then Alan 2.6 would wipe the walls with Alan 1.6.
When I was 16, I was an idiot, right?
And not statistically for 16. If you compare me to other 16
year olds, I was probably very bright compared to me now.
No, absolutely last thing. And then I'll get off the
soapbox in in my speeches, I always say everyone think of
something really dumb they did in high school and everyone
hands go up. Who else can think of something
really dumb they did in high school?
And they're like every hand goes up And I go, OK, you would
probably never do that again now, right?
And they would absolutely not. I said why?
They said because now you are more aware of the long term
consequences of that terrible decision.
Why you've learned Human beings are learning machines.
When I first came into the podcast space, I was so fucking
naive. I didn't know how it really
worked. Now I know how it really works.
So now I can win. It's like, if you don't know the
rules of basketball, you're going to suck at basketball.
If you don't know how to play chess, you're going to suck at
playing chess. And so you have to learn the
game of life. You can't just learn chess and
basketball. You got to learn the game of
life. You got to learn the human
condition. You got to learn human beings.
You got to learn what people filter when they say things.
You got to learn the three layers of the ego.
You got to learn productivity and goal setting and how it all
works, and motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic.
You've got to learn as much as humanly possible in the
direction of your goals and dreams.
Yeah, lots of food for fat. I'll leave it for the audience
to process. And of course, definitely, we
are going to have you back for the hat trick, right?
I'm really intrigued to know what number that would be.
Butter, before I let you go, let me put you through the round of
fire. That's the quick fire round the
number 11 book every high achiever.

What's 1 morning ritual you never skip?
What's the biggest myth of our. Biggest myth about productivity
is that it isn't everything it is.
It is the base of success. It's the it's the core of
success and people don't realize that.
I always tell people something TVT doesn't necessarily generate
productivity. Like if you're if you have a
farm and you don't generate any produce, you don't have anything
to sell. You are.
Your success in the economy is based on what you produce in the
economy, and people don't realize that.
Yeah, but what's your favorite tool or favorite app for staying
organized? Oh shit, that.
Is talent and of course, the very last one.
What's your ultimate mantra for moving from I can't to I Will?
Contemplating the alternative, the alternative is be less.
The alternative is regret. The alternative is don't be able
to say you gave it all you had and did all you had with.
I want to be able to say I did all I could with all I had, and
there was a time in my life where I couldn't say that.
Wow you know for me I draw to my faith my favorite Bible verses
Philippines chapter 4 verse 13 I can do all things true crisis
strengthens me. I love I love that one like it
has always kept me going. I can't do all things like the
impossible is nothing. You know doubt me out your own.
Impossible is I'm possible and in everything.
This iPhone was at one point impossible. 4 minute mile was at
one point impossible. The Internet and stream yard in
Riverside were at one point impossible.
None of this existed at one point.
So what else can we do right? Speaking of Riverside, shout out
to Riverside. I I love something about them,
right? They actually very much aligned
with a lot of the discussion points we've had today.
And that's about improvement. You notice they keep improving
the service offerings and of course, keep moving things
around, new tools, new AI features.
No shout out to you guys. And of course, we've come to the
end of the podcast today and well, shout out to you, Alan,
but you want to leave a shout out to anybody.
People you surround yourself with matter.
Goals you choose in advance matters.
People say it's about the journey, but the destination you
choose in advance matters. The destination you choose in
advance dictates the journey. I drove across the country in my
early 20s. That was a very different
experience than driving 30 minutes.
S Make sure you aim high, make sure you work on yourself belief
Make sure you stay humble. Make sure you stay driven.
Make sure the haters Dr. you and motivate you.
Get out there and and see what you can become.
It's you, it's his love and respect.
And of course, to the audience, please do the right thing.
Like, comment, share, and keep supporting the great work that
we're doing. And from me to you guys, please
always go for something in your lives.
Always go for something and of course my mantra is conceive,
believe, strive to thrive and of course achieve until I come your
way again as the out of trouble and keep flying high.
It says goodbye for me. And of course, from Alan
Lazarus, it's also.
