Melina: Welcome to "Flippin’ Off," a purpose-driven podcast about flipping houses and making a difference. 

Melina: Hello, everybody. Hello, hello. Melina Boswell here, co-founder, New Wealth Advisors Club. This podcast is a continuation from last time, which was us discussing the one word, our one word for 2019. So I asked the team, I said guys, "I just need you all to be honest about what words you're bouncing around with. So if you don't mind sharing, I'd actually like to hear the words that..." No, normally nobody wants to share their word. That's what's actually happening. If you listen to the last podcast about it, everybody is like hoarding their word. And I think that's because we don't wanna be held accountable for it, right?

I don't know what it is, or we don't wanna say it out loud, what is the...I don't know what it is, anyway. So I know for me I didn't share it out loud because...I don't know why. I don't even have a good reason not to, so I'll start by sharing. I really had three words that I was toying around with that I really believe I've been toiling. And it is trust, believe, and faith, those are my three words. And they're all very similar, and I think that they're relevant and, you know, pretty obvious based on where I am in my life.

So why don't we just go around the table and that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna have everybody share, however many words there are that you are wrestling with, why don't you share what they are. Oscar?

Oscar: Well, that was a no-look pass.

Melina: Nobody knows, yeah.

Oscar: No-look pass.

Melina: You guys have to understand if you're listening to us on radio, right, what I like to do is throw them off. So, Oscar is sitting right next to me. So, usually, I look at somebody before I'm gonna ask them to speak. And right now, I totally didn't. I just looked straight ahead.

Oscar: No look pass. 

Melina: Yeah, that was a no-look pass.

Oscar: The Lakers could use you.

Melina: Thank you, yeah, you're welcome.

Oscar: So I have four words that I'm...I think I've narrowed it down to one really, but the four were intent, forge, create, and enable. So my dilemma, right, was that a few of those words popped up and came in and out through the process, and it's become clear that they're very similar, number one. And I felt like...so I've been listening to a lot of audibles, a lot of podcasts, a lot of things going on, and the one thing that really triggered it for me was the vision board night when we were putting these things together.

And I'm not the guy that walks into those things because...number one, that's the first time I've ever done it, right. And I'm not the guy that shows up and says, "Oh, I have all these ideas," right. I'm gonna do this. It's like what am I feeling at the moment and what am I doing? So I sat in the bubble with Frank, and we're going back and forth. I started doing some searches, pulled up this car, this thing, this that, the other, right, this vacation spots, and then I was like, "Man, that's like shallow."

Melina: So surface big deal. 

Oscar: Still nice. I'm part of it. And then it was like, "Man, what do I really want to do in life? What does that really look like?" And so what it led to was really understanding more so it's more of a calling than anything else, right. So it became really clear that as difficult as it's going to be, the word is really enable, and it's because of a few things. So I've been tossing around this weekend. and I was like, "Man, enable? Why is it enable? What does enable mean?" So I get all like...

Melina: Cerebral.

Oscar: Right, brainpower starts kicking so like dictionary, enable, Bible enable. So NLT version of the Bible, enable only came up in two verses. I was like, "Man,...

Melina: It's not a very holy word.

Oscar: ...that didn't work out real well." So
