YBS Your Blind Spot with Tanner Gers | Stop BSing yourself and your life!

[Publisher needs to add a card at awesound.com/payments] Think about something with me for a moment…

And as long as you’re not currently operating heavy machinery…

Close your eyes.

What’s in your life right now that you don’t love?

Anything you don’t like doing… Or maybe hate doing?

Mentally, imagine a rain shower head above you…

My brother has this amazing 4 shower head walk-in shower that’s the inspiration for this visualization…

And what if as the water falls down upon you…

All that stuff washed away?

What if, just by simply turning a couple knobs… You could change your experience just like that?

You’d probably have a lot of room, space, and time to think about and do the things you really want to do.

The things that you’d probably accomplish… If that other crap wasn’t mucking it up…

Like being a bestselling author…

Running marathons… Or even swimming across a river…

As the warm water washes away the things you don’t want…

You envision being a collegiate professor …

Or an artist with your work being displayed in museums, galleries, and even winning awards for it.

Some of you are helping build satellites… Working with NASA… As an astrophysicist…

Or, you left your job to bring your invention to market… Getting patents along the way…

And now it’s being used across 4 continents!

Then you reach forward… Turn the knob to the right… And you wipe the water from your eyes.

Is this just a vision of grandeur?

Would any one of these be impossible for you?

Or is that just you choosing to limit what’s possible for you?

Maybe it is…

As these are accomplishments anyone would be happy to have on their resume…

Let’s go a step further.

What if… What if you accomplished all these things?

Every single one of them…

Just you. 1 woman. 1 man…

When I was introduced to Josh Spodek… I was excited.

Incredibly excited… Because he reminded me of the thing I learned from Dr. Jim Afremow.

If you can spot greatness… Then you’ve got greatness inside of you as well.

We all do. We all have greatness inside each one of us.

And as Josh says… The trick to achieve it is simple.

The 1 trick behind him being able to say he’s done all of the aforementioned achievements…

Isn’t a trick at all. It’s simple.

And it’s best represented in a single two-letter word.

Do

Just keep doing. Doing and pursuing what it is that you want to be great at.

It can’t be that simple though… I refuse to believe it!

I’ve tried and tried.

Well maybe… That’s the problem.

You’re just trying.

You’re trying to be successful instead of just doing.

If you want to publish a book…

Then write.

If you want to get your Doctorate in astrophysics or your Master’s in Business…

(BTW Josh has both as well as multiple other degrees from Ivy League schools)

Enroll.

If you want to be a painter…

Paint.

If you want to eat better, live healthier, and lose weight…

Cook.

If you want to complete a marathon…

Run.

The limitations we put on ourselves as humans are incredibly suppressive, oppressive, and depressing.

You, me, and most of us come from a place of fear…

When we should just come from a place of courage.

Having the courage to write that first word…

The courage to go to school…

(I’m doing this personally right now… Full-Time!)

The courage to cook, paint, or to take that first step.

When you come from courage…

You arrive.

You arrive at understanding…

The understanding that living life isn’t about going through the motions like you’re a sleep-walking ambienized being…

But that the best and only way to live life is through living it.

So… Turn the knob…

And wash away those words and perceptions of limitation that you’ve been told…

That you’ve been sold…

And that you’ve adopted as your own.

You are meant for more…

If you can spot greatness…

You’ve got greatness inside you.

And achieving it begins and ends with this.

Do.

And without any further ado…

Allow me to introduce my friend

And author of the only book on leadership that actually helps you become a leader…

Dr. Joshua Spodek

The only leadership book with the exercises that actually build Leadership!

Have you ever surfed during a hurricane?

Or used hurricane winds to skate down the street with a homemade parasail?

That’s how wild South Beach can be…

But you’ve also got to be a little wild yourself…

To even step outside with a hurricane beating down on your town like that!

Interestingly enough…

Both of these experiences happened because of a father son relationship…

The man lucky enough to have a father like that is on the line with us today.

Creators meet Armando Cruz

Another reason I wanted him here is because of how he pushes himself…

He pushes himself way outside his comfort zone…

And I have to tell you about his crazy New Year’s ritual.

This is just one of the stories he shares with us on this episode… But…

When everyone is still sleeping on New Year’s…

And many hobbling or taking an Oober home…

He’s running…

Running the streets of Miami.

He doesn’t have a set distance that he runs…

Like a 5k, 10k, half or full marathon…

He runs well beyond those typical distances.

Because he runs for 6 hours straight.

6 hours straight?

Why the hell would anyone do that?

Because it’s uncomfortable.

As he describes…

It pushes him to the limits…

And when he’s there…

Running beyond the edge of comfort…

It sets the tone for the rest of the year.

He knows things get tough.

In life… With family… And business.

And he’s got all three to work on.

He’s a doctor of physical therapy and owns his own gym in Miami.

He’s got kids and a beautiful, supportive wife.

But that’s not enough.

He’s pushing himself to do more, to be more, become more, and serve more…

So he’s launching.

He’s mid-launch right now for the Modern Man Summit.

We get into that at the end of the call…

But it’s a free, online event designed for men who want more from life.

Who want more confidence, skills, ability, streams of income, and stronger relationships.

After you’re done listening to today’s episode…

Be sure to check out the Modern Man Summit…

And be sure to tell Armando who sent you.

[Publisher needs to add a card at awesound.com/payments] I’ve got a secret to share with you…

I interview others for two big reasons…

First, to share their greatness with creators like you.

To bring their passion, their lives, their wisdom, their journey to you… To the world.

That’s the obvious part that isn’t such a secret…

The other reason… Is a secret.

I want to get close to them…

I want to learn from them…

I want to build a relationship with them…

And I hope… I deeply, devoutly, desperately hope…

That some of them rubs off onto me…

So I can better serve you.

The man on the line with us today embodies one of these individuals.

I stare at him with awe…

Not just because of his insanely successful career that spans decades…

Not just because he served our country…

Not just because his heart beats entrepreneur…

But also because of his self-awareness… And his courage to go after it.

His awareness of knowing language is the channel that speaks loudest to him…

And that courage to commit to that thing…

Not the thing that’s the norm… Or what someone told him to do…

But the thing inside that spoke to him.

And it’s still speaks to him today.

Sometimes we have a different voice inside of us…

It’s above the heart though.

It’s between our ears…

It’s that voice that sounds just like you…

But it isn’t.

It’s the “voice of reason.”

It’s the voice of limitation…

It’s the voice that has guided so many of us…

Me included…

To turn our backs on our hearts…

And fall into monotonous traps of normalcy.

Interestingly, just about 18” beneath normalcy…

Greatness awaits.

[Publisher needs to add a card at awesound.com/payments] I knew something inside me was guiding me…

I need to go out and explore the world…

I needed to find the true James…

While many of us follow in our parents’ footsteps…

Joining the firm… Picking up that stethoscope… Or the family business…

Ever felt like something inside you is itching, burning, trying to get out?

James Kyson from Heros calls it a super power…

And when we’re really tapped into them… They’ll pull and push you…

To take the Big Leap…

And show you how to Play this game called life…

On this intimate talk with James Kyson… 2 huge points hit home hard…

Being first and being timeless…

I was curious to learn about James’ negotiation strategy for his parents…

You know… Before he bought a 1-way ticket to LA from New York to become an actor…

“I always knew that I was going to be the first in my lineage…

… Rather than the second in my parents’ lineage.”

He basically told his family that I have to do this…

Because I have to learn about me and my place in it…

He’s getting clarity there… But it’s all a part of the process.

He goes deeper into this process on our talk… Like finding the courage to make that first step…

The struggles… The risks… And sleeping in his rental car… But first…

How much time do you have left on your break?

What about in the day? Or the week?

We’re really infatuated with this man-made measurement tool…

And it consumes most of us entirely…

Here’s what I mean…

When you’re asked how are things going today… Or at work…

Or within the business… Or at the office…

Or on the set… Or at home…

Wherever whatever… When we’re asked how’s it going…

Do you default to something like…

A) Really, really busy, but good…

B) Oh, it’s good… We’re super busy, but that’s good…

C) It’s fucking crazy!!!

D) Yeah… It’s our busy season right now…

We feel like C… But default to say A,B, or D.

Have you seen it?

Is it under the seat cushion?

Did it fall in the trash can?

Where did the time go?

When you say I’m busy doing this… Or this… And that…

That’s constraining how much you can do…

It’s squeezing… Putting on the universal pressure…

And limiting what you can accomplish in any timeframe.

You know how when you’re doing something you love…

And 4 or 5 hours seem like 20 minutes of fun…

What if you could make 20 minutes turn into 4 or 5 hours of work?

Outside of being abducted by aliens…

How do you become a timeless being?

Besides going deeper into becoming the first in your lineage… And how to find more time…

James shares something personal that he only shares with his close friends…
