I like to believe I do that. 25 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,320 When I coach people, I believe I'm trying to inspire myself as well. 26 00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:00,320 And he is one of those unique individuals that is able to inspire the coach. 27 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:06,960 And I feel that I've been lucky enough to help him and I think that he's been an inspiration to help me as well. 28 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,200 And I can get into that a little bit later. 29 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,920 During the first segment here, we usually have three segments in our show. 30 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,680 Before our break, I'm just going to get into it like I always do, which is going solo 31 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,480 and really talking about principles that I believe will really help you have the marriage of your dream. 32 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,200 So I'm going to do that. 33 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,520 And then our second segment will reach out and talk to Patrick. 34 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,800 One thing that I want to talk about today is an article that I wrote. 35 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,800 And I want to talk a little bit about it after I read it. 36 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,000 I'm going to read it to you first. 37 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,560 And I call it Turn It Inside Out. 38 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:47,040 Called The Inside Out Theory. This is something that I truly believe that many of us do consistently. 39 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,240 And it gets us into trouble in our marriages and in our life. 40 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,240 And within our family, our children and our spouse. 41 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,640 And I'm going to read this to you right now. 42 00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:02,720 Well, you head to the office on a Monday morning. 43 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,160 Yeah, you're kind of tired and have a lot going on your plate today. 44 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,400 You have been doing this job now for six years and well, you know, kind of feel a little burn out. 45 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,000 But hey, overall, you like your job and here you are. 46 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,960 Your coworkers say good morning and you reply with a big smile and say, "Good morning to you." 47 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:26,640 In fact, you crack a quick innocent joke and head to your office and merely play some upbeat music. 48 00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:30,560 By lunchtime, you head out with a few of your closer workmates 49 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,600 and have an upbeat lunch laughing at some of the issues that come up on the job. 50 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,760 You actually are kind of inspirational and people love it. 51 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:46,640 In fact, your boss comes up to you and says, "You really help our culture and we need more upbeat people, 52 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,480 just like you, that are just full of life." 53 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:57,680 You smile back at your boss and say, "Thank you so much. Just being myself, the workday comes to a close and you come home." 54 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:04,720 Now on this Monday, you have bills, chores and responsibilities to do at home as well. 55 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,520 When you get home, your kids say, "Hi." 56 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,400 You say, "Comely, high, back." 57 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:18,640 And the kids kind of just are taking back a little, any energy drops just a little. 58 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:19,760 But hey, no issues here. 59 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,200 Your wife or husband come home just a few minutes after and say, "How was your day?" 60 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:25,840 You say, "What?" 61 00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:29,920 "I'm thinking right now and I just need a few times to think. Is that okay?" 62 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,480 And your wife or husband said, "Sure, that's fine. No worries." 63 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:42,080 The night proceeds and there's really nothing wrong, but there's really nothing right, just a flat night on a Monday. 64 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:51,280 See, many times we view ourselves as a vibrant, funny, optimistic person, full of life because well, 65 00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:58,240 our social life is proof of it. You just wish you had this vibrant life inside your heart. 66 00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,520 What happened? 67 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:08,320 The fact is you are the vibrant, amazing person who's somewhere along the line lost it with the people that truly matter. 68 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,560 And well, if they matter so much, then what's going on? 69 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:20,640 Rather than create an image of an amazing person who is actually a fake self falling short at home, 70 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,320 turn everything inside out. 71 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:31,600 Make the foundation, leadership, and amazing positive vibrancy, the core of who you are, 72 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:37,200 truly with the people that really matter first. 73 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:42,320 When it's real, you can actually reach the heights and dreams you always wished for. 74 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,920 Then when it's real, it will naturally just shine in all aspects of your life. 75 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:54,800 Then next time you are feeling a little down and want to know what to do, turn it all around. 76 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:56,880 Turn it inside out. 77 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,200 And I wrote that and it's on our website if you want to read it or just listen to it again. 78 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,120 What am I saying? 79 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:11,760 It's too many times we show we have the ability to be vibrant, funny, intelligent, witty, 80 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,240 and inspire people. 81 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,320 And then we identify ourselves as this amazing person. 82 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:26,240 Yet when the doors close and we come home and our children or our partner look at us and maybe they're 83 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,800 having a top day, maybe they're having a great day, but regardless, you come home and you have 84 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:37,360 responsibilities just like you do it life or you did it work. What do we do? We tone it down. 85 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:42,560 We bring it down a few notches and we create a culture that is two different people, 86 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:50,240 a social self and then our real self. And if you ask, in any time I ask people, who is the most 87 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,120 who is the most important people in your life? Most will tell me it's my children and my partner. 88 00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:03,040 But yet we have the ability to do all the right things and capture people's imagination 89 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,760 with our energy and inspiration in the outside world, but yet we don't have the fortitude and 90 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:14,960 strength to do that at home. If we get the fortitude and strength to do this at home as your main priority, 91 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:20,080 it becomes a real essence of who you are and you know you're doing that with the people that 92 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:25,760 really matter and when you do that and then on the outside world you shine as well because it's 93 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:32,720 truly who you are. It doesn't feel fake anymore, doesn't feel like an act. It becomes a true 94 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:41,920 representation of yourself and this is how you create bonds and love and it gives you one more 95 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:49,600 piece of ammunition to get you to the place you want to go which is to have an amazing family 96 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:55,120 and reach for the marriage of your dreams. I truly believe that and I don't just say that lightly, 97 00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:02,160 I really really believe that. That you know it's easy to do the right thing outside of the world 98 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,920 and then when you come home and you're a different person and I'm telling you you got to put the 99 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,240 work in to do it the other way around. I don't mean to be rude on the outside world but make your 100 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,840 emphasis your family and then have it be real and then let that bleed on the other aspects of your 101 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:24,480 life because it will be truly who you are. I believe that with 100%. Now people may argue with that 102 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,840 concept and say well you know but the reason I'm like that with my wife or grouchy a lot or my kids 103 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:35,120 or my husband is because well I feel the most comfortable with them. I don't have to fake it. I'm not 104 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,920 trying to keep my job. Well you may not be trying to keep your job and you feel that you have to do 105 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,560 that in the outside world but you want to keep your marriage. You want to be happy. You want to reach 106 00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:49,520 your dreams. You want your children happy? Let me ask you that question because if you really 107 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:55,760 are telling me that your main priority is to have the marriage of your dreams then you better turn it 108 00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:01,840 inside out. I mean turn it inside out. Make the priority when you go home. Even if you're growl 109 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,400 cheap, even if you feel like you can get away with it. Make that your priority. I say it all the time 110 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,720 if you had a job for five years and you're doing great and you're getting promoted and you're moving 111 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,920 up the ranks and you feel great about yourself would you after five years go to your manager your boss 112 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,320 or even if you own a business as an entrepreneur and say you know what I've been doing this for five 113 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:27,040 years I've worked really hard and I've proved myself so I just want to let you know for the next two 114 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:32,640 years I'm not really going to work. I'm going to come in bring the TV and phone music I'm not really 115 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,000 going to work maybe five minutes a day that's about what you're getting out of me but you better pay 116 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,920 me you think you're going to do that you would never do it because instantly you know that there's a 117 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:45,440 cost in doing that it's called your job you might be lucky enough to have a manager who's going to say 118 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,440 you're going through some problems will give you a month or two maybe maybe probably not but maybe 119 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,240 you've given us five good years you know let's see if we can get through this but it is not going to 120 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:59,600 take long where you know it's over the game's over you're out so we're able to condition 121 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,400 ourselves to do the right thing in the outside world but if you ask if I asked you what's most important 122 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:09,200 your job or your family or your kids with your husband or your wife you're always saying it's my 123 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:16,800 it's my partner my wife my husband my kids they're my number one well if that's true you got to put 124 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:23,280 the emphasis and priority on them and then that will bleed into the success of your of your other 125 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:30,800 aspects of your life take that really into consideration as you navigate through life and you're really 126 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:37,440 hoping that you could have the relationship you've always wished for and I wrote that again if you 127 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:42,240 want to read it check it out on our website or relist into it or push put some deep thought into it 128 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:47,680 because you have to condition yourself to be strong in your mind to do what's right we're going to 129 00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:51,520 talk a little later in our second segment with Patrick as I mentioned and he's going to tell you 130 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:56,000 exactly how he does it you don't think I'm well we'll all let him do the speaking but you'll hear 131 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,080 you know you think it's all easy for him every single day just oh yeah it's just perfect they can 132 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,960 it to him on a silver plate everyone's jumping around how happy life is no there's times when he's 133 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:10,080 had it hard but you know what he does he got the fortitude to make it work and sometimes I'm sure he 134 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,160 doesn't feel like they have a smile in that moment but he does it and it creates the energy that he wants 135 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,000 to have the smile and then it bleeds on the other things next thing you know wait I'm a happy guy 136 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:25,440 and I'm living my life you know the way I want and being leased about it one more thing I want to 137 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:33,440 talk about today in this first segment is what I call protect and I hear this over and over and 138 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:40,480 over went again with couples and if we don't we don't finish this I can bring this up again in a 139 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:48,400 future time either later today or in another future episode but protection why is it that we will 140 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:55,600 protect our children at all cost but we will not protect our partner if your son or daughter came 141 00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:04,960 home and said crying saying they're their friends said that they were stupid or dumb or ugly or something 142 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:10,880 something to hurt them you would quickly protect them what are you talking about you're great looking 143 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,360 girl great looking boy what are you talking about you're super smart they don't know what they're 144 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:21,120 talking about you build that kid up you want them to feel strong and protected and safe then you 145 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,640 might give them a real nice lesson about hey you know and in life people are going to tell you 146 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:29,600 things that are they're going to hurt but they don't know what they're talking about you got to be 147 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:35,600 strong so you would build them up you'd protect them or protect her with everything you have 148 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,760 and you know what you would be doing you'd be creating a bond with your child because you're 149 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,320 protecting them you're building them you're helping them become strong but yet if you're with a 150 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:50,720 a partner well they're a grown adult as if grown adults don't have feelings as if grown adults don't 151 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:56,080 want to be protected as if grown adults don't want to feel safe what do you think you graduate 152 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,280 what do you think you turned 21 and you're allowed to drink and you turned 21 and lose your 153 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,480 ability to have feelings or get hurt you know it's not like all of a sudden you know you reach a 154 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,760 point in life where it's like you graduated out of your feelings a grown man or a grown woman 155 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,520 means there's certain things that you you know you would believe that you would have responsibilities 156 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,280 to maintain but that doesn't mean your feelings can't get hurt that doesn't mean if you're in a 157 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:23,440 relationship you don't want to feel protected so I tell everyone you have to always protect your 158 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:30,560 partner especially in public especially in public now if you're sitting there and you're in love with 159 00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:38,160 your wife or your husband and you're at a dinner party and you have that one jerk it comes in and 160 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:43,200 they're eating the food and they say yeah and your wife can't cook it's terrible or maybe they don't 161 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,480 say it to you directly maybe it's indirectly and you hear them and they're making it clear and she 162 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:52,000 hears it you hear it and you're gonna sit there and smile and say oh well you know you know 163 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:58,720 you know what you can do no you protect and you can do it with dignity and class and etiquette and 164 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:04,080 still be the man or woman to protect your partner well let me tell you something about I don't care 165 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,320 if it's true or not now I'm gonna I don't advocate lying but I do what you got to do you protect first 166 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,720 so what do you do I would say straight up well first of all make it clear my wife is an amazing cook 167 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,240 okay and if you don't like to me don't totally understand you have a right to not like that me but I'll 168 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:24,400 tell you this woman's incredible she does this this this this and this and you know just so you know 169 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:29,760 and I couldn't be more lucky you do that and you might think your partner might say to you well that's 170 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,160 not necessary I don't need that I'm a grown up I don't need that forget what you need you give it 171 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:39,520 it's not what you need you give it because when you give people love and protection don't think 172 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:45,440 that your partner is not going to know what you did that will light them up in their soul that they 173 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:52,560 hear you protecting them so when people I I've talked to people that have not protected each other and 174 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,680 it is damaging to the relationship but when we start talking about protection just protecting the 175 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:05,760 person you love you have a complete different sense of security safety and love I've seen in my 176 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:12,320 experiences that have transformed relationships and we talk about so many different things in our 177 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:23,280 podcast and this is just one protection and just that one alone is absolutely powerful powerful 178 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:29,920 to truly change your relationship when you think about it it's like anything in life right if you 179 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:38,080 continue to add powerful things to something like your relationship could be your business hey this 180 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,880 is going to make us a ton more money we'd make this decision we're going to we're going to have this 181 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:51,680 that all these additives you're going to build something that is just unstoppable protection alone is 182 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:57,680 full of ammunition to just turbocharge your relationship and it's just one thing that we talk about 183 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:05,040 think about that think about these two things today turn it inside out and protect put those two into 184 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,840 play put some deep thought into it and just start practicing and like I always say you're going to 185 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:15,040 fail practice and get ready to fail but you get back up and do it again and you maintain these two 186 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:21,200 things just those two alone the endless topics we're talking gonna talk about and you will see 187 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:26,720 major change at least I have time and time again with many clients thank you so much we're going to 188 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,280 take a quick break and then when we get back we'll get started and then we're going to interview 189

marriage and life of your dreams today i'm going to be bringing 214 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:33,840 on patrick as i talked about patrick cubler who is truly an inspiration before i do that i wanted 215 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:41,440 to talk about one more topic as a segue i want to talk about the concept which i think is extremely 216 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:49,360 paramount in having the life that you truly want and truly having the marriage that you want i 217 00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:58,240 think that this is a it absolute needed an item in your life and i think without it it just holds 218 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:03,120 everything back and that's being true to yourself i think being true to yourself is something that 219 00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:09,760 you have to do be true to yourself before i even started this company i had a small part i 220 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:15,280 caught it to be you coaching before we just joined together to just have it be a growing space and i 221 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:22,320 just like the whole concept of being yourself i i i think that once you start selling out and being 222 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:28,000 something that isn't you you're spending your whole life with this alter identity that never 223 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:35,280 never feels right so inside you never get the shine and be vibrant and alive and full of life 224 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:41,680 because you're always living to someone else's dream somebody else's interest someone else's 225 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:48,240 expectations and in order to have the dream life for yourself that you want and the dream marriage 226 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:53,360 you have to be true to yourself you know what i always say and i know it's just an example but i 227 00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:57,760 always say it starts with the sneakers and what do i mean by that doesn't have to start with 228 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:04,560 the sneakers could be many example right it could be hair hair style you know dress you wear but i 229 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:09,840 always say it from i guess because i'm a guy and i grew up as a boy so i always think of the sneakers 230 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,560 and i always think about when you're young and you're enjoying life and you're just a happy innocent 231 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:19,360 kid and then you get indoctrinated into the real world right and then your kid friends 232 00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:23,840 you go into school one day your mom buys your sneakers and you love the sneakers 233 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,400 and you're happy as can be and you don't know anything else except you love them 234 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,160 and then you get made fun of because maybe they're not a name brand 235 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,440 and you're told that you have cheapos or cheap sneakers bobo's a used to call it in the 80s i don't 236 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:43,280 know if they still call it that but you know bobo's junk whatever they want to call it cheap 237 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:49,520 and your feelings get hurt and you know you you hold it together and you come home 238 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,320 and you come home and you tell your mommy your dad hey you know i like to get new sneakers and then your 239 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,000 mom and dad look at you and say we talk about just bought these a month ago they look great you love them 240 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,000 you said you love them and they're like you have it they're like cheap ones mom they're like 241 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,120 cheapies i don't want them and they're like who told you that well they're making fun of me mom 242 00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:11,760 they're making fun of me dad and so what do you do as a parent you feel bad right you feel bad for 243 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,480 your for your for your daughter or your son so what do you do what do you do you you you wait 244 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,920 for the birthday or you let them earn it or you feel bad enough and they're a good kid and you 245 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,760 know you find a sale and you're like wow i'm 130 bucks for these but you go and you buy it 246 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:31,600 and you do that for your kid and so here you go and your kid lights up oh my goodness i got the 247 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:37,040 the great shoes right whatever they are okay whatever name brand it is doesn't matter what name 248 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:42,240 brand it is plenty of good name brand sneakers nothing against the great sneakers it's just that 249 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,160 the mindset is if you have to have that brand it must be this brand or that brand or this brand 250 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:52,560 or that brand so you get that brand that you want and you go into school and what happens your 251 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:59,600 friends all of a sudden say oh man you got those they're amazing and you're now what you're part of 252 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:06,880 the club you're in the in club and you learn quickly in life that way to second if i give up what i 253 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,720 like you may not even like the sneaker maybe you love them maybe you don't but it doesn't even matter 254 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:20,000 because you've learned that if i adhere to other people standards i'm in the club i'm now accepted i'm 255 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,360 cool whether you like them or not that's thrown out you just want to be cool forget liking them 256 00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:33,520 forget being true to yourself you're young you don't know so what happens is we we we we start becoming 257 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,520 at that stage just the understanding that we can sell out 258 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:44,800 and then what happens as we go into the real world is continues throughout all aspects of your life 259 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,600 you i'm sure you've all seen it in corporate america when you're sitting there and you and you have to 260 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,880 dress a certain way act a certain way whether you believe what it or not you're getting indoctrinated 261 00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:01,440 into being something to be in the club and you do this long enough over the years and consistent 262 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:08,160 enough you find yourself unhappy you find yourself being something that's not you and it's extremely 263 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:14,880 important in life to be you i'm telling you if you want to have the life that you want in the 264 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,480 marriage you want i'd really believe you better be you and you know what people don't like it they don't 265 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:26,640 like it and that makes me think of my client Patrick Kubler who i'd like to introduce today who is an 266 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:32,640 inspiration to me who has helped me in so many ways just talking to him helping him helps me because 267 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:39,760 in his inspiration he's 82 years old and Patrick i want to say hi and welcome to my show well thank 268 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,000 you for asking me for instance i appreciate it i haven't got to say something about your kid 269 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:51,040 there you know what i've done well you know probably what i did do in that age is i would have said to the 270 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:57,360 people that were downgrading me because my shoes i'd have said you know something no they're the most 271 00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:05,760 comfortable shoe i've ever had by by keyword right by yeah so anyway that that interesting story 272 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:16,400 but it's true it's true and never in my in my life i really never compared myself to somebody else 273 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:21,920 yeah and that's helped tremendously don't compare yourself somebody else me you be you 274 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:28,400 be you and you'll be happy and you'll be happy in your marriage in your life in your job 275 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,840 in everything just everything it just changes everything when you're true to yourself and you know 276 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,640 when you're when you're being yourself you know that there's going to be people that don't approve sure 277 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:45,840 and then you don't i mean you can just say okay fine and then just move on and and be happy you know 278 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:56,240 you have taught me a great deal my man and and it's it's i remember when i first came to you 279 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:02,320 and let me explain so let's just let the audience know who you are so your Patrick i'm Patrick Kielberer 280 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,400 and i live in ira's own uh i live here in ira's own i've been here's back well back here i'm not 281 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:11,600 gonna go through all that but yes 1996 you're 82 years old and i live in uh uh uh uh uh 282 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:17,440 a sun city and we started two years right and uh i'll let you take it from there and then one of 283 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:24,720 the one of the reasons i was down is because my wife developed dementia and as the three and a half 284 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:33,200 years went by i could no longer take care of her so we put her in assisted living and that's when i 285 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:39,920 started to kind of go downhill and it wasn't really myself because myself has been you'll find out 286 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:48,240 you know all my life practically i've been up i'm i like life i like people i help people 287 00:26:49,600 --> 00:27:00,560 but that was the thing to do so that's how i got a hold of frances and and uh i didn't want anybody i 288 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:05,680 mean i call several people to be very frank with you and i don't want to lay on a couch 289 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:11,200 and then again i want somebody and you're not going to believe this but i told him when i finally got 290 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:17,840 a hold of him i said hey you're all right you know i'm so said but i don't want any bs 291 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:29,120 and here we are but uh and i didn't and we never did we spoke outright said what was on our mind 292 00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:35,840 i could say what was on them the first time in my life probably i'm going back to my lovely wife 293 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:44,080 uh who it's just too bad but i'm not going to get myself into some sinking although one moment or so 294 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:51,360 in that transition period where we put her in assisted living i thought to myself you know i feel like 295 00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:58,160 taking a long walk off a short pier but of course i would never do that because i like myself too much i know 296 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:06,800 so but you felt unhappy oh i was unhappy and i needed some other other than friends and relatives 297 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:12,800 and that type of thing i needed somebody with some experience and with some education on 298 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:21,920 life coaching and i came upon this guy sitting across from me here and uh in the frances and we hit her 299 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:28,320 off we just hit her off and i liked what he had to say he helped me get through that downtime 300 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:35,120 and i'm back to myself now i have been uh i'm believe it or not even though my wife is 301 00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:42,480 in assisted living i am a happy guy i belong to several clubs in uh sensitive 302 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:52,480 and uh i'm doing keep myself busy and i also have quiet time very quiet time where i sit 303 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:57,840 about tv or i'm looking out of my backyard you know i said you know in that backyard it's kind of 304 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:04,880 nice and i do talk to myself if i start getting down about something i talk myself right out of it 305 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:11,840 yep that's what i do because you're mentally strong well appreciate that but i think i am yes 306 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:17,680 and i just simply tell myself pet what are you down for? knock it off let's take a walk 307 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:24,160 you know let's let's do something and and and that's what i do and that's kind of my life it's always 308 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:30,560 been my life and it's gotten better and better and better through help from uh well i want to thank 309 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,960 you and i'll just take a quick minute just to tell you how i look at it from my perspective i say 310 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,440 this all the time i get a kick out of it you know i know you say you know we spoke and we hit it 311 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,600 off but before you did that i don't know if you remember you called me when you already had 312 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:50,400 bought a package to for us to do session but you did call me and i said you were setting up the date 313 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:57,040 and you said are you any good? i don't remember this but i you did i got a kick out of it and so 314 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:03,840 you caught me off guard and at that point i said you know this guy is not going to work with this whole 315 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:10,160 doing it a standard way that you got to be a straightforward and honest the way i believe should be 316 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:15,120 it should be and when you said that i got a kick out of it but i said to myself i said with i 317 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:21,680 work with with Patrick here i am not holding back i am going to do it exactly the way i believe 318 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:26,560 it should be and i did it now i don't know what you're going to do you're going to kick me out 319 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:34,640 but you didn't you took it i wasn't even easy on you i wouldn't say i was i i was caring and i 320 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,080 i cared for you and i wanted to but i wanted i knew that i had to be honest with you 321 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:45,520 and straight forward and and and and frankly no bullshit and i and i did that and the result was 322 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:52,560 pretty cool and and you told me and i don't know if you remember this but you pointed your finger at 323 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:57,680 me when you did it you're a pretty automated guy and i i love that and you said don't change 324 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:04,320 you said be you and don't do it any other way this is your way and it works 325 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,880 don't and you were like you know you did it in your like an emphatic like you better listen to me and i 326 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:14,400 i took that that's two years ago and i remember you doing that and i and i will never forget it 327 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,160 and i will tell you that story all the time because i never ever since then i do not have 328 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,880 her hold back no and i said i wasn't going to before i met you but that was like the ammunition that 329 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:28,480 said oh you know what it's go time it's green light time and i and i want to i want to say thank you 330 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:34,640 to you for that because i find you inspirational um there are some principles well first of all a lot 331 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:39,520 of the principles that i teach and i have them all written down they get endless that we'll talk about 332 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:46,400 throughout the year um but a lot of these you've already done you already had built into you which is 333 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:54,480 why you already are so in a good spot to to have the life that you have currently have right now 334 00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:00,320 and i'm going to talk about a few things that i jotted down and you can i'll let you touch on it as 335 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:06,080 to what i think uh makes you so special and how you implement these things that some of them i 336 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,240 think i taught but i think many of them you already knew and and maybe we just brought them out a 337 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,720 little get them kind of get them going again and the first one i'm going to talk about a few of them 338 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,920 in this finish this segment off and then the next one we're going to talk about them is you i always 339 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:25,920 talk about cut out the noise whether it be politics whether it be other people yes i want you to touch 340 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:34,880 on that because you 100% cut out the junk well i have found through life especially as we've gone on 341 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:40,480 here in the in the two thousands and stuff like that you've got to cut some of that stuff out and 342 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:47,680 don't let it get you down don't listen don't do it think for yourself believing you so on and so 343 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,800 forth doesn't mean you have to punch somebody in the face because of whatever all the 344 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,680 take all the legend everything who cares no ever i'm not not saying who cares but i'm saying like 345 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:02,800 it could bother you or can make you happy but you know it's and i'm one i'm two each is own 346 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:13,840 but i do my thing and i don't hate those people but i don't do it and you just got to be 347 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:18,320 yourself you have an opinion and you that's right i'm still going to live the dream life you want 348 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:24,080 and especially in the marriage and the book which is what you do yeah basically is 349 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:30,640 you just the both of you can never stop talking to each other and how much you love them and how 350 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:37,200 much you care about them and look let's not argue about that let's not argue about the kids let's 351 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:44,000 help the kids and you know i'd love your philosophy and you helped me tremendously and i'll 352 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:50,240 i'll love you forever well i will tell you one of the things you do all the time i think is the coolest 353 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:55,040 thing is we're talking and sometimes just to make sure i'm always being respectful because obviously 354 00:33:55,040 --> 00:34:00,240 i'm pretty straightforward i'll say to you like that's like a body right i always say that 355 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:06,000 and you look at me like are you kidding me like i live long and i've that long enough that's not 356 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:12,240 gonna bother me yeah that's not an issue and that just goes to show how much you cut noise out like 357 00:34:12,240 --> 00:34:19,360 things yeah you don't spend too much time perseverating on the noise no and you what you do is you 358 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:27,360 put your energy and time into the things that actually matter which is having a happy life you have 359 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:34,400 being a good person what you are enjoying yourself just being fun and alive helping other people 360 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:40,720 be happy like these are the things you do we'll talk about them but and you focus on them as opposed to 361 00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:47,440 letting all the other noise take you down and no yeah so when we get back this is we're gonna finish off 362 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:53,360 the second segment here i'm gonna revisit this we're gonna talk about a few things that i again i 363 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:58,240 jotted down that i think are extremely important in having the life and relationship of your dreams 364 00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:02,560 and i want to talk to you more about it when we get back okay all right we'll be back from marriage 365 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,560

that i believe make you have the life and marriage of your dreams client of mind Patrick cubler is 391 00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:02,560 just an i think an amazing guy that is just such an inspiration and what we were talking about is 392 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:07,360 you know the different things that i think that he has many of it he's just had his whole life in 393 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:12,320 them some i think from our conversations we brought it back out maybe added a few along the line 394 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:18,320 but he's just flourishing living such a cool life and you know i have people sometimes they'll say 395 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:23,440 you know i'm 65 years old i can't have the marriage of my dreams or i can't have the life of my dreams 396 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:28,240 and i always think of Patrick and this is well if he certainly can why can't you you know and 397 00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:32,320 sometimes people think of themselves well yeah well maybe he's had it easy maybe he's just one of 398 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,320 those lucky people that everything's been handed to him and so the reason why you're listening to 399 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:41,120 Patrick he's positive and he's this and he's that and all the things that we're going to talk about 400 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:46,000 that you know well maybe it's just because he's had the perfect simple life and i'll be here to 401 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:52,160 tell you that's not true i i don't think Patrick's had it perfectly easy what you agree with that 402 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:59,920 i would certainly agree with that i was i never knew my real dad you know i was born and raised in 403 00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:08,000 the black hill of soft Dakota my mother came out to her family her mom and dad to have me they lived 404 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:15,120 in Chicago got married in Chicago and this was the september 15th 1941 and everybody a lot of people 405 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:22,960 know what happened December 7th 1941 the war started and my real dad went into the service and when 406 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:29,280 he came back whatever reason whatever rather that they got a divorce of the male and i never did 407 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:35,760 know and the only thing the bothers me Francis but i don't know what my you know i'm in pretty good shape 408 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:40,320 for no boy you know i feel good my i got a bad back and a bad knee you know that stuff you know 409 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:48,560 that you have but uh so i grew up with really without a dad for a long time for my first five six 410 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:54,720 years then my mother remarried moved to custer south Dakota blah blah blah and my dad stepped 411 00:39:54,720 --> 00:40:01,360 at the pew will was an alcoholic and my dad was an alcoholic yeah that was not a lot of fun 412 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:11,360 but i did it i did things for me i was a pretty decent basketball player track man you know 413 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,960 around the hundred and there's you 20 hours fast anybody that want to beat me up never caught me 414 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:23,920 yeah you know and uh so no i didn't have a uh yeah but i didn't let it for some reason and i can't 415 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:31,680 release fainted anybody i never let it bother me i did my thing enjoyed what i enjoyed 416 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:38,560 and i always felt pretty good always felt pretty good about myself now did i go around pat myself 417 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:45,440 in the back to hey guys i'm really special no and i still don't do that yeah but i'll walk into a 418 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:50,880 restaurant and i'll be seated by somebody and i'll walk by a table and i said hey guys keep it down 419 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:55,600 not well yeah you know just keep keep it keep it loose and they they love it they start laughing 420 00:40:55,600 --> 00:41:01,600 and i love that fun i can make people laugh i should have been a comedian you know i really should 421 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:07,280 but but i do that a lot i do it anywhere i go well you've seen it you've seen it at the coffee shop 422 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:14,160 that i would use to see you walk in and it's like you like the place out and and i don't 423 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:20,480 get a big head about that is what i'm trying to say you're humble but you're full of light you know 424 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:26,880 and it's the same with marriage you know you've got to laugh with each other and i'm telling you 425 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:31,840 something folks you start laughing with each other and coming you know and being honest with each other 426 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:38,080 you'll have that perfect marriage i agree and you know what you do you don't take yourself i mean you 427 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,960 you you have pride in yourself but you don't take yourself so seriously that you can't have a real 428 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:47,840 conversation with absolutely and in a marriage you need that right because sometimes you're 429 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:52,480 going to be the one who makes a mistake that's right sometimes it's funny and admit it and laugh 430 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:57,120 some time you know laugh about it you know your couples like you know you fall and you trip and you're fine 431 00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:01,200 you know you stub your toe and maybe the partner got a giggle out of it's a healthier you do that 432 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,920 well sometimes it's funny i'm not saying if you break your ankle i'm just saying like you know like 433 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:12,160 sometimes you gotta laugh at yourself have a little fun absolutely you do that you know i remember 434 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:17,040 and i don't share this but do you remember when we had a session and you walked out and you tripped 435 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:23,360 you tripped on the dirt there's a hole in the dirt yes remember that yes and i remember how you 436 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:28,400 reacted and you were like you popped yourself back up and you made i don't remember the exact words 437 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:33,280 but it was funny you said something humorous and you were fine you're like oh that'll be hurt tomorrow 438 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,720 but you said something funny in a life and then you were fine and maybe it hurt the next i don't know 439 00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:42,160 i don't remember i don't know but you were fine in next week but all i know is you were fine and you 440 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:49,200 were funny and upbeat about you know how many people would have been like oh my goodness this is a 441 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:55,440 disgrace i don't know what to do negative and and you and you the way you handle it i thought to 442 00:42:55,440 --> 00:43:01,360 myself i'm working with a guy that people 20 30 40 years younger couldn't handle this the way 443 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,360 handled in the way you handle it and that's why you have the life you were and i'm telling you 444 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:13,040 Francis i don't know how it came from other than the fact i know that my mother was terrific she was 445 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:20,400 a great singer i love music and and

00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:06,480 say this i don't even know if you because we don't talk about remarriage no but you just said exactly 485 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:11,520 was i always say when when someone's insecure or worried about something instead of putting it on 486 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:15,760 them and say well it's your problem i say take the responsibility absolutely you don't say you 487 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:20,560 know what if that bothers you share i'm gonna fix it what did you just say i'm gonna fix it yes i am 488 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:25,360 going to fix you've never heard me even talk about this concept it's built in the way you think that's 489 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:31,120 just for whatever reason i don't know why but i that's the way i think oh that's my fault that's 490 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:35,680 why you're together 25 years and someone can listen to you and say well for this guy's been married 491 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:41,680 for a time and i mean i'm i gonna learn this because you know what you are you are always willing to 492 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:47,440 learn and grow think about this if you look at his own paper and you say okay your fault you 493 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:53,200 alcohol it right okay okay you went through four marriages right right and you said you've learned 494 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:57,280 this mistake you've had some mistakes along the way that you had to learn remember that right you 495 00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:02,800 took accountability right well that's right haven't had it easy and then so so then you had 25 years 496 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,720 of all this growth and had the the marriage of your dreams do you know how many people at your 497 00:48:06,720 --> 00:48:13,280 point would say there's no way in hell i'm gonna ever meet someone and have 25 years after this track 498 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:19,600 record of it not working they'd say it's over but no because you grow never say never yes 499 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:26,480 never say never you're right it's just the two the middle two wives not to get over here that they left 500 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:32,480 me they had things they wanted to do with their life right and i wasn't right in with them and 501 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:41,040 then on that but you know what i still loved them and i still talk to them you know i'm not going to 502 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:46,800 get into a lot of but you know but i still talk to them in fact they both moved down here to 503 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:54,720 Arizona and we were always friends and and i respect them and i respect them and i accept them 504 00:48:54,720 --> 00:49:00,880 yep and you know what they like me because i was funny yeah i know i don't know but you were funny 505 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:06,080 but you're you grew so much i mean you always had a lot of these attributes but that you are always 506 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:10,800 willing to say but i need something to do this i need to do that you're always growing yes you're 507 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:15,840 always making incremental improvements and then eventually that's why you got to where you were 508 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:20,800 now someone could say okay well this guy was okay fine he finally figured out how to have the 509 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:25,200 marriage of his dreams and that's what it was right i mean that was the marriage of your dreams 510 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:30,320 absolutely yeah so for 25 years you have the marriage of your dreams and then someone say yeah 511 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,920 you know what he finally figured out good for him he put all these principles in place but then he 512 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:40,000 lost his wife so to speak in terms of being together you know like the way it was and now he's 513 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:44,880 was about the release he was starting to really get down and and did he quit? 514 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:52,800 nope did he get back up? yep did he seek you know some guidance? yep did he push himself back up? 515 00:49:52,800 --> 00:50:00,000 yep and look at where you are now i know i i absolutely feel great and uh yes i'm sad 516 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:06,880 for Kathy my wife of course i am you'd love her you know but she's doing she's hanging in there 517 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:12,560 but that's her she's still saying yes she's got a necom machine that i gave her share comes and she 518 00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:20,000 should play share songs yeah in the way she goes so you know that's good let me ask you this question 519 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:24,800 because i know we got about yeah over three minutes i want to i want to get this out how many 520 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:29,120 you know no names or anything like that just in general just your general experience in life 521 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:34,240 you know you you're 82 years old and i'm sure you come in the lot of contact i would imagine right 522 00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:41,120 with people in your age category. Oh sure um would you say that in general all the people around you 523 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:46,160 in general are optimistic or pessimistic? 524 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:54,000 i'd have to say probably the better percentage i don't know what that percentage is is pessimistic 525 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,600 there's a lot of pessimistic people out of there but i understand a lot of it. 526 00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:04,160 yeah you know they bloss their husbands and their boss you know i mean i mean one of those things you know 527 00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:09,840 not a brand new. You're an empathetic man and that's amazing that's right. But what's the lesson is i 528 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:15,200 guess what i'm trying to get at is that what is the lesson for those individuals that get caught 529 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:20,560 into negative thinking that you truly love know that they're that they that they have an amazing 530 00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:27,920 person inside them but they they need the help and they need to get to the next level you know 531 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:33,120 anyone who is saying oh i can't get it i can't have that anymore.
