take a moment. Have a seat. If you can close your eyes and just listen. You hear the birds, you hear the wind going through the trees. Do you hear the kid having batting practice about 200 m from where I'm sitting? Do you hear the American flag here at the baseball field rippling back and forth through the wind? The answer is yes. Then good. If the answer is no, then also good. Either way, I just took you through a mindfulness and presence exercise where you stopped your busy life to focus on you for about 30 seconds there. That was pretty good. And one of the things I want to encourage you with. In fact, today's show is all about taking care of yourself. Um, and I want to encourage you to take moments out of your life like that, to stop, be present in the moment and just acknowledge yourself and the things that are going on around you. Now the other thing I just did to you subconsciously is I removed all your distractions. You're gonna hear the lawnmower that's 100 m behind me. the cars that are 400 m to my northwest. You're gonna hear the kid doing batting practice. The wind, the birds, the dogs barking. You're not gonna get away from distractions in your life. But what I hope you do is be present with them so that there are part of this show instead of something that just happens and distracts you. From what I'm saying now, every part everything that you're hearing is a part of the symphony. Alright? Little psychological exercise for you there. If it worked, there's three of you that are saying you're full of crap and you're right for you three. I am full of crap. I can't help everybody now then, Yeah, let's get into it, man. I actually started today's show with a great deal of anxiety, not a great deal of a taste of anxiety. And I think one of the things you don't know about me is I start every show podcast less than video. But it still happens on podcast to a degree video Definitely much more than podcast. But I start every show with a tangible sense of anxiety and that's because I don't know how to start conversations to people who aren't here, right, and this is a testament. I did a tiktok video about this the same day I'm doing this recording, which is Saturday. You're listening to this probably on a Monday or whatever day you've chosen to listen to the podcast, and I talked about how being an extrovert is actually detrimental to being a social media influencer. Now it's not. That is not a statement of absolution there, obviously things about being an extrovert that make it much easier to be influential. But there's one specific part about making video content in particular. That's harder for the extroverted That's the extrovert doesn't actually have an audience right. The introvert is elated that they don't have an audience because they can be in their comfortable space, which is their brain. Live there, think through all of the things internally and introspectively and come out with a solution that's usually pretty well thought out. An extrovert, especially one like me. I can't speak for all of you, but one like me. I need humans to bounce ideas off of. I can't get to conclusions in my head alone. Not often, sometimes, yes, but oftentimes I need another human to bounce it off of before it's even gonna sound sane and rational. Which is why I tell you guys all the time with the content that I produce, you need to take at least 60% of it as rhetorical and satirical because oftentimes I am thinking through my thoughts for the benefit of the audience.
