00:00:00.479 --> 00:00:00.689
All right.
00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:01.350
3, 2, 1.
00:00:01.350 --> 00:00:01.889
Let's get it.
00:00:01.979 --> 00:00:03.509
Welcome back to the show, everyone.
00:00:03.509 --> 00:00:07.500
And today's topic is something that we all encounter, especially when.
00:00:08.099 --> 00:00:09.570
We're starting something new.
00:00:10.019 --> 00:00:11.250
Or we're trying to grow.
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.220
It's about knowing the sound of something.
00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:16.350
Versus truly.
00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:18.329
Learning its language.
00:00:18.989 --> 00:00:20.399
So, let me start with a question.
00:00:21.690 --> 00:00:22.769
You know the sound.
00:00:24.390 --> 00:00:26.070
But have you learned the language?
00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:33.060
So think about it like this, my daughter's boyfriend, he can teach me Spanish words.
00:00:34.049 --> 00:00:34.770
I may.
00:00:35.670 --> 00:00:36.600
I want a good day.
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:41.340
Be able to repeat them back and maybe even string a simple sentence together.
00:00:42.179 --> 00:00:44.070
But if I found myself.
00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:46.320
In a Spanish speaking country.
00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:48.929
With a handful of those words.
00:00:49.469 --> 00:00:50.820
I wouldn't be able to navigate.
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.210
Because while I know the sound.
00:00:56.009 --> 00:00:57.539
I haven't learned the language.
00:00:58.859 --> 00:01:00.600
And the same thing happens in life.
00:01:01.829 --> 00:01:03.299
The same thing happens in life.
00:01:03.838 --> 00:01:05.099
You know, the sounds.
00:01:05.759 --> 00:01:08.879
These are surface level actions are mimicry.
00:01:09.180 --> 00:01:10.858
That's only going to take you so far.
00:01:11.618 --> 00:01:14.140
While it helps you get started and that's important.
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:16.868
But if you truly want to grow.
00:01:17.829 --> 00:01:18.879
You got to go deeper.
00:01:19.750 --> 00:01:21.549
You got to learn the language.
00:01:22.179 --> 00:01:23.739
Of whatever it is that you're doing.
00:01:24.698 --> 00:01:26.439
So, let me break this down further for you.
00:01:26.978 --> 00:01:29.079
In almost any area of your life.
00:01:29.528 --> 00:01:30.759
Whether it be parenting.
00:01:31.149 --> 00:01:31.899
Writing.
00:01:32.228 --> 00:01:36.429
Creating podcasting lifting, leading.
00:01:37.579 --> 00:01:39.019
There's a surface level.
00:01:39.769 --> 00:01:40.969
And a deeper level.
00:01:41.629 --> 00:01:43.370
And the sounds get us started.
00:01:44.030 --> 00:01:47.480
I could look at my parents and mimic their style of parenting.
00:01:47.939 --> 00:01:49.829
But it wouldn't make me a true parent.
00:01:51.150 --> 00:01:55.709
Until I develop my own way of guiding it, connecting with my child.
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:05.310
And the same goes for other areas of your life, whether it be lifting, whether it be writing, creating whatever it is, there's a sound.
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.629
But there's also a language and that language.
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:11.580
The only way you learn it.
00:02:12.419 --> 00:02:14.069
Is you got to absorb yourself in it.
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:18.150
You got to learn through the reps it's learned through curiosity.
00:02:18.629 --> 00:02:19.919
Through persistence.
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.530
And figuring it out on your own.
00:02:23.830 --> 00:02:25.300
I've met a lot of managers.
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:26.979
Who sounded like leaders.
00:02:27.430 --> 00:02:30.069
But they never developed a skills to actually lead.
00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:31.389
They knew what to say.
00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:35.680
But they hadn't put in the time to truly understand how to lead.
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.439
It's the difference between knowing the sound.
00:02:39.099 --> 00:02:40.569
And mastering the language.
00:02:41.620 --> 00:02:46.780
In any craft, whether it be personal or professional, you got to ask yourself, man.
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:48.520
Do I know the sounds.
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.449
And if so, Have I gone deeper.
00:02:53.169 --> 00:02:56.468
To really learn the language because you truly don't know it.
00:02:56.709 --> 00:02:58.569
Until you put in the work and make it your own.
00:02:59.679 --> 00:03:01.179
This isn't about copying.
00:03:01.568 --> 00:03:03.938
It's about creating something authentic to you.
00:03:05.389 --> 00:03:07.519
Remember the sounds get you started.
00:03:09.139 --> 00:03:10.879
But developing the language.
00:03:11.539 --> 00:03:13.819
It's what's going to keep you knowing.
00:03:14.569 --> 00:03:15.109
And growing.
00:03:16.539 --> 00:03:21.610
I remember early on when I began writing, I was at the lowest point in my life.
00:03:22.909 --> 00:03:24.830
And so I would wake up every morning.
00:03:26.300 --> 00:03:26.689
And.
00:03:27.349 --> 00:03:29.930
Copy word for word passages from books.
00:03:30.469 --> 00:03:32.030
'cause, I didn't know what else to do.
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.039
I had to borrow someone else's voice.
00:03:35.580 --> 00:03:36.990
Until I could find my own.
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:42.990
So I was at a low point, but over time, Writing day after day.
00:03:44.129 --> 00:03:45.150
I moved from.
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:47.520
Full passages.
00:03:49.049 --> 00:03:50.879
To taking the quotes.
00:03:51.629 --> 00:03:52.199
And then.
00:03:53.219 --> 00:03:55.469
Writing what that quote meant to me.
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:57.840
Until today.
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.939
Now I just read for ideas.
00:04:01.679 --> 00:04:04.259
And I've developed my own rhythm, my own style.
00:04:05.310 --> 00:04:06.960
And now that's what I share with the world.
00:04:07.830 --> 00:04:08.159
I do.
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.710
This goes for all kinds of different areas of your life.
00:04:11.129 --> 00:04:14.250
It goes for fitness, for relationships, even for selling.
00:04:14.909 --> 00:04:20.259
Sure you can start by imitating someone's routines, rituals, and techniques, and that's fine.
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.000
It's a great way to begin.
00:04:22.750 --> 00:04:25.029
But if you truly want to create an impact.
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.850
You can't stay just on the sounds.
00:04:29.139 --> 00:04:30.069
Don't stay.
00:04:30.490 --> 00:04:31.959
In the copying stage.
00:04:32.348 --> 00:04:40.300
In the planning stage in the accumulating stage, you're just gathering a whole bunch of sounds without even moving forward to truly grow.
00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:45.639
You got to take all the vowels, all the consonants of what you're learning.
00:04:46.689 --> 00:04:48.100
And develop your own language.
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:50.709
So here's my challenge to you.
00:04:51.069 --> 00:04:53.050
What area of your life do you want to grow in?
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:54.040
Think about this.
00:04:54.670 --> 00:04:56.110
Get started with the sounds.
00:04:57.430 --> 00:05:01.300
But then start working on developing your own language and this takes time.
00:05:01.810 --> 00:05:02.920
But once you do.
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.310
You're going to realize it's not just about knowing the steps.
00:05:07.060 --> 00:05:08.649
It's about creating your own rhythm.
00:05:09.100 --> 00:05:11.740
Your own consistency, your own approach.
00:05:12.370 --> 00:05:13.930
And that's when you start growing.
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:15.189
Moving.
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:17.319
And making real progress.
00:05:18.269 --> 00:05:21.660
And what's beautiful about this is you can transfer this approach.
00:05:21.990 --> 00:05:24.029
Across every area of your life.
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.069
For example, if you want to get fit.
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:28.860
Start by following someone else's workout.
00:05:29.370 --> 00:05:33.060
Then you start learning your own body, figuring out what's gonna work for you.
00:05:33.569 --> 00:05:36.300
Create your own routine, your own rhythm.
00:05:36.509 --> 00:05:40.408
And once you've done that, And you see the results.
00:05:41.430 --> 00:05:43.379
Then you can take that same discipline.
00:05:44.550 --> 00:05:46.139
And apply it to other areas.
00:05:46.889 --> 00:05:48.689
You see the sounds get you started.
00:05:49.259 --> 00:05:50.610
But it's the language.
00:05:51.269 --> 00:05:52.259
That keeps you moving.
00:05:52.740 --> 00:05:53.610
That keeps you growing.
00:05:54.709 --> 00:05:55.910
So ask yourself today.
00:05:56.870 --> 00:05:58.850
What areas do I want to improve?
00:05:59.329 --> 00:06:00.560
Start with the sounds.
00:06:01.370 --> 00:06:02.990
But make a commitment to dig deeper.
00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:04.490
Learned the language.
00:06:05.149 --> 00:06:05.600
All right.
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:06.500
Let's get out of here.
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:07.279
Keep it simple.
00:06:07.339 --> 00:06:08.060
Keep it moving.
00:06:08.089 --> 00:06:08.779
Never settle.
00:06:08.779 --> 00:06:09.410
Stay tough.

00:00:00.479 --> 00:00:00.689
All right.
00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:01.350
3, 2, 1.
00:00:01.350 --> 00:00:01.889
Let's get it.
00:00:01.979 --> 00:00:03.509
Welcome back to the show, everyone.
00:00:03.509 --> 00:00:07.500
And today's topic is something that we all encounter, especially when.
00:00:08.099 --> 00:00:09.570
We're starting something new.
00:00:10.019 --> 00:00:11.250
Or we're trying to grow.
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.220
It's about knowing the sound of something.
00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:16.350
Versus truly.
00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:18.329
Learning its language.
00:00:18.989 --> 00:00:20.399
So, let me start with a question.
00:00:21.690 --> 00:00:22.769
You know the sound.
00:00:24.390 --> 00:00:26.070
But have you learned the language?
00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:33.060
So think about it like this, my daughter's boyfriend, he can teach me Spanish words.
00:00:34.049 --> 00:00:34.770
I may.
00:00:35.670 --> 00:00:36.600
I want a good day.
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:41.340
Be able to repeat them back and maybe even string a simple sentence together.
00:00:42.179 --> 00:00:44.070
But if I found myself.
00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:46.320
In a Spanish speaking country.
00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:48.929
With a handful of those words.
00:00:49.469 --> 00:00:50.820
I wouldn't be able to navigate.
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.210
Because while I know the sound.
00:00:56.009 --> 00:00:57.539
I haven't learned the language.
00:00:58.859 --> 00:01:00.600
And the same thing happens in life.
00:01:01.829 --> 00:01:03.299
The same thing happens in life.
00:01:03.838 --> 00:01:05.099
You know, the sounds.
00:01:05.759 --> 00:01:08.879
These are surface level actions are mimicry.
00:01:09.180 --> 00:01:10.858
That's only going to take you so far.
00:01:11.618 --> 00:01:14.140
While it helps you get started and that's important.
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:16.868
But if you truly want to grow.
00:01:17.829 --> 00:01:18.879
You got to go deeper.
00:01:19.750 --> 00:01:21.549
You got to learn the language.
00:01:22.179 --> 00:01:23.739
Of whatever it is that you're doing.
00:01:24.698 --> 00:01:26.439
So, let me break this down further for you.
00:01:26.978 --> 00:01:29.079
In almost any area of your life.
00:01:29.528 --> 00:01:30.759
Whether it be parenting.
00:01:31.149 --> 00:01:31.899
Writing.
00:01:32.228 --> 00:01:36.429
Creating podcasting lifting, leading.
00:01:37.579 --> 00:01:39.019
There's a surface level.
00:01:39.769 --> 00:01:40.969
And a deeper level.
00:01:41.629 --> 00:01:43.370
And the sounds get us started.
00:01:44.030 --> 00:01:47.480
I could look at my parents and mimic their style of parenting.
00:01:47.939 --> 00:01:49.829
But it wouldn't make me a true parent.
00:01:51.150 --> 00:01:55.709
Until I develop my own way of guiding it, connecting with my child.
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:05.310
And the same goes for other areas of your life, whether it be lifting, whether it be writing, creating whatever it is, there's a sound.
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.629
But there's also a language and that language.
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:11.580
The only way you learn it.
00:02:12.419 --> 00:02:14.069
Is you got to absorb yourself in it.
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:18.150
You got to learn through the reps it's learned through curiosity.
00:02:18.629 --> 00:02:19.919
Through persistence.
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.530
And figuring it out on your own.
00:02:23.830 --> 00:02:25.300
I've met a lot of managers.
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:26.979
Who sounded like leaders.
00:02:27.430 --> 00:02:30.069
But they never developed a skills to actually lead.
00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:31.389
They knew what to say.
00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:35.680
But they hadn't put in the time to truly understand how to lead.
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.439
It's the difference between knowing the sound.
00:02:39.099 --> 00:02:40.569
And mastering the language.
00:02:41.620 --> 00:02:46.780
In any craft, whether it be personal or professional, you got to ask yourself, man.
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:48.520
Do I know the sounds.
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.449
And if so, Have I gone deeper.
00:02:53.169 --> 00:02:56.468
To really learn the language because you truly don't know it.
00:02:56.709 --> 00:02:58.569
Until you put in the work and make it your own.
00:02:59.679 --> 00:03:01.179
This isn't about copying.
00:03:01.568 --> 00:03:03.938
It's about creating something authentic to you.
00:03:05.389 --> 00:03:07.519
Remember the sounds get you started.
00:03:09.139 --> 00:03:10.879
But developing the language.
00:03:11.539 --> 00:03:13.819
It's what's going to keep you knowing.
00:03:14.569 --> 00:03:15.109
And growing.
00:03:16.539 --> 00:03:21.610
I remember early on when I began writing, I was at the lowest point in my life.
00:03:22.909 --> 00:03:24.830
And so I would wake up every morning.
00:03:26.300 --> 00:03:26.689
And.
00:03:27.349 --> 00:03:29.930
Copy word for word passages from books.
00:03:30.469 --> 00:03:32.030
'cause, I didn't know what else to do.
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.039
I had to borrow someone else's voice.
00:03:35.580 --> 00:03:36.990
Until I could find my own.
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:42.990
So I was at a low point, but over time, Writing day after day.
00:03:44.129 --> 00:03:45.150
I moved from.
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:47.520
Full passages.
00:03:49.049 --> 00:03:50.879
To taking the quotes.
00:03:51.629 --> 00:03:52.199
And then.
00:03:53.219 --> 00:03:55.469
Writing what that quote meant to me.
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:57.840
Until today.
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.939
Now I just read for ideas.
00:04:01.679 --> 00:04:04.259
And I've developed my own rhythm, my own style.
00:04:05.310 --> 00:04:06.960
And now that's what I share with the world.
00:04:07.830 --> 00:04:08.159
I do.
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.710
This goes for all kinds of different areas of your life.
00:04:11.129 --> 00:04:14.250
It goes for fitness, for relationships, even for selling.
00:04:14.909 --> 00:04:20.259
Sure you can start by imitating someone's routines, rituals, and techniques, and that's fine.
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.000
It's a great way to begin.
00:04:22.750 --> 00:04:25.029
But if you truly want to create an impact.
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.850
You can't stay just on the sounds.
00:04:29.139 --> 00:04:30.069
Don't stay.
00:04:30.490 --> 00:04:31.959
In the copying stage.
00:04:32.348 --> 00:04:40.300
In the planning stage in the accumulating stage, you're just gathering a whole bunch of sounds without even moving forward to truly grow.
00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:45.639
You got to take all the vowels, all the consonants of what you're learning.
00:04:46.689 --> 00:04:48.100
And develop your own language.
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:50.709
So here's my challenge to you.
00:04:51.069 --> 00:04:53.050
What area of your life do you want to grow in?
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:54.040
Think about this.
00:04:54.670 --> 00:04:56.110
Get started with the sounds.
00:04:57.430 --> 00:05:01.300
But then start working on developing your own language and this takes time.
00:05:01.810 --> 00:05:02.920
But once you do.
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.310
You're going to realize it's not just about knowing the steps.
00:05:07.060 --> 00:05:08.649
It's about creating your own rhythm.
00:05:09.100 --> 00:05:11.740
Your own consistency, your own approach.
00:05:12.370 --> 00:05:13.930
And that's when you start growing.
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:15.189
Moving.
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:17.319
And making real progress.
00:05:18.269 --> 00:05:21.660
And what's beautiful about this is you can transfer this approach.
00:05:21.990 --> 00:05:24.029
Across every area of your life.
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.069
For example, if you want to get fit.
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:28.860
Start by following someone else's workout.
00:05:29.370 --> 00:05:33.060
Then you start learning your own body, figuring out what's gonna work for you.
00:05:33.569 --> 00:05:36.300
Create your own routine, your own rhythm.
00:05:36.509 --> 00:05:40.408
And once you've done that, And you see the results.
00:05:41.430 --> 00:05:43.379
Then you can take that same discipline.
00:05:44.550 --> 00:05:46.139
And apply it to other areas.
00:05:46.889 --> 00:05:48.689
You see the sounds get you started.
00:05:49.259 --> 00:05:50.610
But it's the language.
00:05:51.269 --> 00:05:52.259
That keeps you moving.
00:05:52.740 --> 00:05:53.610
That keeps you growing.
00:05:54.709 --> 00:05:55.910
So ask yourself today.
00:05:56.870 --> 00:05:58.850
What areas do I want to improve?
00:05:59.329 --> 00:06:00.560
Start with the sounds.
00:06:01.370 --> 00:06:02.990
But make a commitment to dig deeper.
00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:04.490
Learned the language.
00:06:05.149 --> 00:06:05.600
All right.
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:06.500
Let's get out of here.
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:07.279
Keep it simple.
00:06:07.339 --> 00:06:08.060
Keep it moving.
00:06:08.089 --> 00:06:08.779
Never settle.
00:06:08.779 --> 00:06:09.410
Stay tough.
