00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.238
All right.
00:00:00.238 --> 00:00:00.809
3, 2, 1.
00:00:00.809 --> 00:00:01.199
Let's get it.
00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:02.638
Welcome back to the show today.
00:00:02.638 --> 00:00:05.219
I want to talk about something that's been on my mind.
00:00:05.549 --> 00:00:06.988
Should be on your mind too.
00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:08.429
And that's the future.
00:00:08.910 --> 00:00:11.699
Specifically how we can position ourselves.
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:13.710
For what's next.
00:00:14.099 --> 00:00:15.689
And let me just tell you this upfront.
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:18.690
The next is now.
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:22.199
NOW you cannot afford.
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:23.550
To sit still.
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.920
In the book tribe of mentors, Tim Ferriss has.
00:00:27.489 --> 00:00:29.379
Entrepreneurs Steve case.
00:00:29.769 --> 00:00:32.200
What advice would you give to young people?
00:00:32.649 --> 00:00:34.060
Entering the real world.
00:00:34.990 --> 00:00:37.450
And Case said something that really stuck with me.
00:00:38.170 --> 00:00:39.670
Lean into the future.
00:00:40.149 --> 00:00:43.750
And position yourself for what's happening next.
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.060
Not just what's happening now.
00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:47.829
I think about that.
00:00:48.460 --> 00:00:49.479
The future.
00:00:49.630 --> 00:00:52.509
Is it some far off thing that you wait for?
00:00:53.049 --> 00:00:58.030
It's something you got to lean into something you got to prepare for.
00:00:58.909 --> 00:01:01.700
Wayne Gretzky was one of the greatest hockey players of all time.
00:01:02.060 --> 00:01:05.030
'cause he didn't skate to where the puck was.
00:01:05.390 --> 00:01:06.230
He skated.
00:01:06.739 --> 00:01:08.329
To where the puck was going to go.
00:01:08.989 --> 00:01:10.370
And that's what made him great.
00:01:10.739 --> 00:01:15.030
It's the same in life in business, you don't just play to your position.
00:01:15.989 --> 00:01:17.670
You got to play to the opportunity.
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.739
I tell people this all the time.
00:01:20.489 --> 00:01:22.590
Because here's the hard truth.
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.700
A lot of people that I talk to are stuck.
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:28.560
And when I interview them.
00:01:29.219 --> 00:01:30.420
They want something new.
00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:32.519
They want a new position.
00:01:32.819 --> 00:01:34.049
They want a new life.
00:01:35.140 --> 00:01:38.049
But the sad thing is they have a position themselves for it.
00:01:38.650 --> 00:01:40.030
They're not qualified.
00:01:40.540 --> 00:01:41.620
For that next step.
00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:46.269
Because they've been sitting in the now for years.
00:01:46.629 --> 00:01:48.189
Maybe even decades.
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:50.739
And they didn't lean into next.
00:01:51.689 --> 00:01:52.769
That's what's tough, man.
00:01:53.609 --> 00:01:55.290
Now is an obligation.
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:56.909
Next.
00:01:57.569 --> 00:01:58.409
Is an option.
00:01:59.099 --> 00:02:00.269
And many times.
00:02:01.189 --> 00:02:03.200
We only take care of the obligation.
00:02:04.250 --> 00:02:06.769
And we don't lean into the opportunity.
00:02:07.430 --> 00:02:08.599
The options.
00:02:09.500 --> 00:02:10.159
Of next.
00:02:11.129 --> 00:02:13.770
You must lean into next.
00:02:14.669 --> 00:02:18.449
I just love just though that phrase right there.
00:02:18.930 --> 00:02:20.189
Lean into next.
00:02:21.090 --> 00:02:23.669
It's about taking care of business in the present.
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.599
While also preparing, learning and positioning yourself.
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:29.069
For what's to come.
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.490
And I don't care, dude, what field that you're in?
00:02:32.969 --> 00:02:34.080
The horizon.
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:35.969
Is changing.
00:02:36.539 --> 00:02:37.139
Quickly.
00:02:38.370 --> 00:02:39.479
You have time.
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:41.729
But you don't have a second to lose.
00:02:42.509 --> 00:02:43.889
Now as all you got.
00:02:44.699 --> 00:02:45.930
But next is on the way.
00:02:46.830 --> 00:02:53.460
So for those of you who are just now entering the workforce, You probably hear the question all the time.
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:54.990
You left school.
00:02:55.409 --> 00:02:57.270
And people from everywhere.
00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.460
Every old person asked you.
00:03:00.060 --> 00:03:00.870
What's next.
00:03:01.830 --> 00:03:04.680
Let me flip that question around and ask you something different.
00:03:05.550 --> 00:03:06.780
What makes you curious?
00:03:07.409 --> 00:03:08.550
What excites you?
00:03:09.270 --> 00:03:13.530
What seems a little bit out there, even if it scares you a little bit.
00:03:14.969 --> 00:03:16.169
Take care of the now.
00:03:17.310 --> 00:03:18.900
But start leaning into next.
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:20.789
You old folks.
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.069
I'm talking to you too, man.
00:03:23.580 --> 00:03:26.669
You may have been in the field for 20, 25 years.
00:03:27.270 --> 00:03:28.080
But let me tell you.
00:03:28.659 --> 00:03:30.460
Don't hang your hat on what you've been doing.
00:03:31.569 --> 00:03:32.680
Because it's changing.
00:03:33.819 --> 00:03:35.469
And you're going to make yourself obsolete.
00:03:36.129 --> 00:03:39.280
Simply because you didn't lean into next.
00:03:39.939 --> 00:03:40.990
Next is on the way.
00:03:41.650 --> 00:03:44.409
And you know, this, the landscape is shifting.
00:03:44.770 --> 00:03:45.550
Under your feet.
00:03:46.449 --> 00:03:47.840
Are you working toward that change?
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:49.689
or are you just going to wait on it?
00:03:50.770 --> 00:03:52.360
Are you going to be forced to change?
00:03:53.379 --> 00:03:56.139
Or will you run at and embrace?
00:03:56.770 --> 00:03:57.400
The change.
00:03:58.330 --> 00:03:59.139
Like it or not.
00:03:59.889 --> 00:04:00.789
Next is coming.
00:04:01.569 --> 00:04:03.009
And it's coming with or without you.
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.310
Next does not need your permission.
00:04:07.189 --> 00:04:08.419
So, where are you going to do?
00:04:09.500 --> 00:04:11.659
This is one reason why I love doing the podcast.
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:13.370
The podcast.
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.579
Forces me to think about next.
00:04:17.509 --> 00:04:19.009
It piques my curiosity.
00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:20.990
It hones my creativity.
00:04:21.689 --> 00:04:22.980
And I get this chance.
00:04:23.610 --> 00:04:24.300
Every day.
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:26.790
And I get to shape my thinking.
00:04:27.389 --> 00:04:30.180
By what I read and what I write.
00:04:31.019 --> 00:04:32.610
I just do it half hour every day.
00:04:33.370 --> 00:04:34.329
And when I'm done.
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.029
I push off into the now.
00:04:38.170 --> 00:04:42.009
But at the same time, I'm positioning myself.
00:04:42.670 --> 00:04:44.079
By leaning into next.
00:04:44.769 --> 00:04:47.110
See how you can have the dualities in life.
00:04:47.470 --> 00:04:49.420
It's not either, or it's both.
00:04:49.420 --> 00:04:54.430
And it's so many times, man, you don't look at that as I can.
00:04:54.550 --> 00:04:55.779
I can have next.
00:04:56.019 --> 00:04:57.579
I could position myself for next.
00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:58.420
I can work.
00:04:58.420 --> 00:04:59.680
I can prepare for it.
00:05:00.459 --> 00:05:02.709
While also taking care of the business.
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:03.939
Of now.
00:05:04.949 --> 00:05:06.120
So, let me ask you again.
00:05:07.170 --> 00:05:08.040
What's next for you?
00:05:09.089 --> 00:05:11.069
When's the last time you asked yourself that.
00:05:12.009 --> 00:05:15.279
somebody probably asked you when you were leaving school.
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:17.139
Uh, gabillion years ago.
00:05:18.310 --> 00:05:22.480
Or maybe they have asked you when you got fired, you got laid off.
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:24.339
And they say what's next.
00:05:25.899 --> 00:05:27.129
Don't wait to be asked.
00:05:28.170 --> 00:05:28.829
Ask yourself.
00:05:28.829 --> 00:05:29.519
That question.
00:05:30.499 --> 00:05:31.848
Star playing with next.
00:05:32.569 --> 00:05:34.369
And let me tell you what's beautiful about this.
00:05:35.298 --> 00:05:36.048
Right now.
00:05:36.858 --> 00:05:38.778
Next is very low stakes.
00:05:39.139 --> 00:05:40.579
Very low consequences.
00:05:41.059 --> 00:05:42.079
You can play with it.
00:05:42.348 --> 00:05:43.639
You can experiment with it.
00:05:44.119 --> 00:05:47.329
And even if you fail, man, no, one's going to come after you for doing it.
00:05:47.838 --> 00:05:49.848
Because it's next.
00:05:50.269 --> 00:05:51.619
It's not even here yet.
00:05:52.218 --> 00:05:54.079
So you get to play with this.
00:05:54.348 --> 00:05:57.559
And even if you fail, the only thing that costs you was a little bit of time.
00:05:58.509 --> 00:05:59.738
But when you fail.
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:01.358
It's still a win.
00:06:02.139 --> 00:06:02.858
'cause see.
00:06:03.908 --> 00:06:06.459
You embraced the uncertainty.
00:06:07.158 --> 00:06:08.889
You wrestled with the newness.
00:06:09.579 --> 00:06:15.038
You suspended, what you already know, you're willing to look foolish and you wrestle with the adversity.
00:06:15.939 --> 00:06:17.709
And you push past the complacency.
00:06:19.119 --> 00:06:20.559
So many people.
00:06:21.459 --> 00:06:23.559
Or just living in the now.
00:06:24.129 --> 00:06:25.418
Working in the now.
00:06:26.408 --> 00:06:26.829
And it's.
00:06:27.408 --> 00:06:28.249
Weakening you.
00:06:28.928 --> 00:06:30.728
Mentally, physically.
00:06:31.538 --> 00:06:33.428
And you're just getting dulled down.
00:06:34.478 --> 00:06:35.288
And I'm telling you.
00:06:35.988 --> 00:06:37.189
You either change.
00:06:37.189 --> 00:06:39.139
Or change is going to be forced upon you.
00:06:39.949 --> 00:06:42.019
Why don't you be the one to call the shot on that?
00:06:42.918 --> 00:06:43.759
So embrace it.
00:06:44.629 --> 00:06:46.788
It's nothing but a positive benefit.
00:06:47.988 --> 00:06:49.098
All you do is grow.
00:06:49.608 --> 00:06:51.649
And you rinse and repeat that every day.
00:06:52.699 --> 00:06:52.968
Bro.
00:06:52.968 --> 00:06:53.959
You'll be RFA.
00:06:54.649 --> 00:06:55.879
You'll be ready for anything.
