Why is it that positive people get sucked into the darkness of negative people?

“I don’t know whether I should be limiting my time or eliminating it. I can think of people whom I genuinely love, who’s life trajectory just isn’t optimized. Isn’t it naïve to think I’m above their influence despite my confidence in myself?”

In this week’s episode, Amer shares his concerns around having personal relationships that he feels the need to compartmentalize to certain areas of his life, so that he does not get weighed down by negative influence.

It is possible that this phenomenon depends on how bright the lightness is and how dark the darkness is.

Listeners, let’s think about the last time you had a great day. Just kidding. Think about the last time you had a bad day.

Then try and think a little further: was it really all bad, from the moment you got out of bed? Probably not; one bad thing happened, and then the good lunch you had with your friends and the job interview you aced just didn’t seem so important anymore. Or maybe you were at work, and your boss is gave you some well-deserved praise. Then she told you there was one line on your paperwork that needed to be tweaked, and before you knew it, you were beating yourself up for that one mistake for the rest of the week. Or maybe you went home after work and turned on the news. The coverage never surprises you: war, crime, disaster.

Maybe you wonder why this is. Your answer? Negative news attracts more consumers (Nguyen & Claus, 2013). Slide in our DMs to tell us about your story!

It’s interesting that most people around us are always on a constant time, pace, and schedule.

In this week’s episode, Austin, Amer, and John discussed the concept of island time, weighing the benefits and consequences of this type of mentality in the business world.

Comparing most western cultures to Austin’s experience in Jamaica, it’s interesting to think that depending on your goals, this mentality could either be extremely beneficial to your personal fulfilment or extremely dangerous.

“Maybe you were all kind of fucked a little But, maybe we’re all a little unnecessarily paranoid in the west… people are genuinely enjoying their quality of life here” - (Austin)

If done correctly, and you actually have the right beliefs systems, and you believe that you are better at some thing than you actually are, it’s going to be a net positive in your life.

If you just believe that you’re an amazing salesman, and you’re actually not closing your deals and you’re blaming the world, you are not doing it properly.

You also need to have a believe that you are amazing at getting feedback and you are amazing at actually understanding how to perceive things. Additional to all of this, you should be excited and curious to find ways to continuously improve yourself. It’s the combination of all of these things that leads to success.

Amer, John, and Austin record the podcast every Sunday at 7:30 PM without conflicts at least 95% of the time… let’s consider the odds that both Austin and john miss a podcast recording on the same night!!

In this week’s podcast, Austin gives us the rundown of how he ends up in the hospital after his first day at Rydel Roofing.

As perfectly stated by Austin himself “the world must be a shit sandwich today, what a statistical anomaly”.

~

“When these things first happen to me, I have all of those instinctive reactions to be pissed – and then I have to think to myself, man, I’m 25 years old, I’m healthy, I absolutely adore my relationships, I love my life, I have such an amazing group of supportive people…

As if I would give myself the opportunity to be all pouty and pissed!

I’ve had to reframe this entire event in my head so many times today, but those thoughts wouldn’t be happening if I wasn’t a part of this weekly call for the past two years.”

~

“So you just carried a 90 pound bag of shingles up a ladder?? I don’t think I could physically pull that off.” (John)

Let’s remind ourselves that it was a 24ft. ladder also.

Strongman Austin truly never sleeps.

Sounds like a pretty good reason to hire Rydel Roofing if you ask me 😌

In Click (2007), an architect discovers a universal remote that permits him to fast-forward and rewind to certain portions of his life. When the remote begins to override his choices, complexities emerge…

In this week’s episode Austin, Amer, and John discuss “their winning formula” and the possibilities it could generate for their future. Even though there isn’t a “definitive answer”, the trust in their process along with present love for the work, give a sense of fulfillment than many of us should recognize in our own lives.

It’s 80% mindset, 20% business tactics.

In this week’s episode, Amer discusses the efforts gone into building the winning formula for running a business.

I was so focussed on just the tactics that I sort of just assumed everyone knew what we knew - about feedback loops, how to build your identity, the power of stories.

To build the entire program took an X amount of time and the mindset week took three times that amount of time, drawing from the conversations in this podcast, landmarks leaderships, quotes from John – for example when there are times that there’s a second voice in your head creating connections and ideologies, it’s important to recognize that the voice isn’t you. (Robert Greene)

Earlier on in the episode, Austin discusses how he dealt with a tough situation - without the wisdom of our stoic, John Morgan III. As soon as that police officer peels off, it’s me versus me. He’s gone and I’m never going to see him again - maybe I’ll see him again when I go to fight the ticket? But I will never be in that exact same situation on that exact same day ever again - and I really became present to this surprise event which was extremely negative –

I had just realized that I am not impacted by this (in the grand scheme of things) and I am suffering more in my imagination than in reality.

How do you navigate competitors and integrity at the same time?

In Episode 120; “Financing Your Freedom”, John gives an example of how he markets his business to customers who he actually thinks his services are best for and compares that integrity against companies who try to sell their business regardless of who it truly benefits.

“There’s integrity in knowing your weaknesses are, who your business is for and who it’s not for. When you’re up against a competitor it is so disingenuous to just talk trash.” (1:55, John Morgan III)

“I believe in something called the mirror which is usually that gossip is a form of judgement and whatever you judge people for is a reflection of some sort of insecurity in yourself.” (1:59, Amer)

Listeners, take this week’s podcast to reflect on when you last passed judgment on someone. Do you think it is possible for this judgement to have formed from your own insecurities? Would you agree with Amer that this created some type of negative feedback loop? Slide in our DMs to tell us about your story!
