Tom DuFore:

Welcome to the Multiply your Success podcast, where each week, we help growth-minded entrepreneurs and franchise leaders take the next step in their expansion journey. I'm your host, tom Dufour, ceo of Big Sky Franchise Team, and as we open today, I'm wondering if you have discovered what truly matters to you, or maybe asked another way what is your passion or purpose that motivates and drives you? Well, our guest today is Haas Natarkesh, and he shares with us his passion discovery framework. Now Haas is an executive business coach and Tony Robbins certified life strategist. Haas's coaching passion has been fostered through his 17 years of senior corporate healthcare executive career. In his last role, he was responsible for a team of more than 3,000 people, including nine executives, over 100 directors and roughly 3,000 frontline staff. Haas owns and supports businesses on three continents. You're going to love this interview, so let's go ahead and jump right into it. I'd love for you to talk through your journey of how you came to kind of bridging this whole idea of philosophy, neuroscience, action, optimal growth. How did you end up getting to this point here?

Hoss Notarkesh:

Fair question. First of all, it's lovely to be here, tom. You've done quite a bit of work. I appreciate what you've been doing. Fair question. First of all, it's lovely to be here, tom. You've done quite a bit of work. I appreciate what you've been doing. So what it is is that I think in my background I'm a microbiologist by practice and I have a master of business and in that thing you're hitting those, I would say, milestones of, like financial gains, and you know education and career achievements, you know your dating, whatever, that is, your fitness goals. So I kind of hit in my best ability. Again, I had probably, maybe I was a seven figure. Yeah, I could say that Again, it was quite a bit back in the day. I would say Then, yeah, I thought that would give me all the happiness that I want. And it wasn't like that. I was a party animal, for sure. I had a lot of good friends and whatever. But you know, definitely shallow to some degree, because you know, when I sensed that happens, you look, you know, through your self-reflection, to the best of your ability, ability, ability to realize, hey, listen, you know what? What am I missing out? Does not give me the happiness. So, anyway to be, you know, to be more included. I had a decent sized house, sold the house, got a penthouse, to be more included and to be a little more around people. Not that I was a loser. I already had many different locations in the corporation that I was working with and I was serving a lot of individuals in the domain of senior living and healthcare. But I want to be changing the scene to see if that will help me out. Got a penthouse, sunrise to sunset view and a gorgeous high ceiling Dicted out the best of my ability and you can see my background. That's my office. So I work in an office. I have a little bit of style and taste too when it comes to design. Not that I'm proud of it, but at the time that phase of life that I was at, you know, even Playbill reached out, booked a place you know, flew in their models to shoot a scene there and again, you think that would make a boy happy, especially when it comes to that kind of what they call status, seeking significance, seeking phase of your life. I'm not even 30 at that point. So what I'm saying is that, you know, man, like shortly after I realized nothing really is working Like you're not really feeling the life. Like you know, life is like slipping through your fingers. And I'm supposed to be the one who's feeling it, because all my buddies were like, to some degree, feeling like dude, like abcd. That must be make you feel happy, you know and my compulsive dating behavior didn't really help either that's when you're hitting rock bottom, that's the dark night of soul. In my book I talk about it and I go listen, you know. Then you don't know where to turn. So one evening I think again. You know, I felt what, what if I? I ended all with one last thought off the balcony and I think that was like that moment of that's too far out. So again, on the professional side, my corporate role was hitting new ground every month, almost because I was good at what I was doing. But again and I was only an entrepreneur from a personal side, because I was into real estate and some other stuff. So things were from, like I would say, surface it looked pretty decent. But man, when life has not been felt through the dimension that you're experiencing and you're hoping to experience, it's sad. So again, I closed the door, quit my job. You know, I soul searched for two years, traveled quite a bit. I got into neuroscience to understand what is really missing. Like you know, that is the biggest puzzle. Was that what is missing here? The mystery of like understanding and connection within life. So psychiatry and psychology was big for me to bridge them together. So I studied them like day and night like this is what I'm doing, traveling, but day and night I'm studying all about these stuff. So quantum physics, to understand like the unseen world, if you will. So and then again through that, I got to know a lot of cool people from like different religions, and they were happy. Judaism was the number one I studied deeply. And again, all Abrahamic religions, obviously, judaism, christianity, islam. I really dove hard on them to see what are, what is all about? And again, I learned the fact that some of these beautiful souls, they don't have much to live on, but they are so happy, so there must be something in there. So again, you know, I started living, like you know, almost an Orthodox Jew for a few months to see what it feels like, and again, I loved it. You know, there's so much that I learned about it. But what does it feel like? And again, I loved it. There's so much that I learned about it. But then I got into Buddhism as well. I learned about that as well. But one thing that really got me to feel the life again was transcendental meditation. So deep in woods I would go out there, I get lost and, man, I would get into it. So that was the beginning of my understanding of quantum field. It was all about the unified field, the consciousness, and that was all about me understanding life from different perspectives. You know, man, by the time I got back to Toronto and I said, listen, man, I'm going to live my life as if I'm going to die tomorrow. There's no way I'm going to wait until God knows how old I am to fulfill my, you know, bucket list. I'm going to live my life the way I want it. So that's how it happened. So I love Toronto. Obviously I still go to Toronto often. I have a lot of clients in Toronto. I have a lot of business in Toronto myself as well. But again, I lived like two and a half hours north of Toronto. I'm a boy from the state, beautiful neighborhood, gorgeous city, it's called the Bay, and I love them. It's just a lot of lovely people out here. And I've been living my life since then, to be honest with you, and I got into executive business coaching and I came with the passion discovery at that point because I said, if I'm miserable, god knows who else who is not having some of these materialistic stuff. And they are in that significant seeking phase of their life, what they are feeling. So what I'm trying to say is, though then I hired, you know, I would just say, psychologists and then some other folks who were my coaches to help me to put it together. It's a proprietary process and global is trademarked to me through US, so it's one of the kind. For those of you who are into business, you know how much it costs to get a trademark on the word passion discovery, because it's such a common thing, right? So, yeah, through that process we serve a lot of executives, entrepreneurs and athletes. They're all high achievers. So that's the goal and then that's how we got into it. So Dr Ryan is the lead scientist of the VIA Institute, which they are the most scientifically proven assessment in the world for character strength analysis. He's my coach as well. We work with him too, and, again, many other coaches we work with and, honestly, everybody who is doing what we're doing at my firm one way or another. Not only they are high achievers, but also they have experience. What I've experienced it's not like I just had a client here just left and what happens. They come here and they see the office and everything else. It's not a theory behind the business we do, it's a we live and breathe. I hustle through business every single day. I have my own businesses that we run and we support. Then we support these high achievers. It's not that, you know, I read a few books and I say, guess what? This is how it's done. We live and breathe this thing. So passion discovery is honestly we call it as a, you know, biohack to selective attention because we deliver that, you know, through the process that we're going to talk about eventually.

Tom DuFore:

I love it. I thank you for sharing the journey and the story. What a journey you went through, and I know that's our audience. Right, these are successful entrepreneurs, business leaders, executives right, you know the kinds of folks that are tuning into this. You mentioned that passion discovery framework that you came up with in this process, so I'd like to talk a little bit about that and what that looks like, how you work with that, maybe with some of your clients or help some high achievers that maybe had a passion and, while they were achieving, either lost the passion or maybe it changed a little bit, or maybe they reached a successful milestone and turned back around, kind of like what you did, when you said, well, I kind of have achieved or had all of this success along the way, but there's maybe some emptiness or there's not that fulfillment, maybe, that you were hoping to feel at that moment. So I'd love for you to talk a little bit about that.

Hoss Notarkesh:

Yeah, man, you nailed it. So often what happens is most of my athletes. So we have some national and international athletes, olympic gold medalists, some of the solidest, solidest of all the athletes we have here that they have that gold medal and then now they lost the touch with life, now they have achieved their personal goals and they don't really feel the life they want. I have 80% of my clients are females and they're all high achievers. You know, obviously there's a reason they hire my services and what happens is that you know same thing again. You know they have sacrificed quite a bit for sake of achieving what they thought it would be meaningful and then give them the purpose, but now they have it and they're not really feeling the fulfillment and intrinsic reward. Purpose, but now they have it and they're not really feeling the fulfillment and intrinsic reward. So what it comes down to is that you know, we need to understand that many of us, like you know, some of most of the audience, if they're high achievers, they drive, probably nice fancy. You know cars, designer clothing, whatever. I do it as well, but at this point and this phase of my life, I don't do it for seeking. Seekingeking is more appreciation of art, the utility of, you know, the custom cars, the custom clothes, custom stuff like that, but again, it's for sake of the appreciation of the art and the artist who gave the life to it, if you will. What I'm trying to say is, though, the utility of these passions becomes the essence of life that we have missed out on. With these individuals, I help to really dive deep into it. That. What does it really mean to you as who you are, deep down, rather than what it looks like from outside? And this is how I simplify. You know, when we are until the age of so very quickly, when we're born into delta brainwave, which is like around zero to four cycles per second. So your brain is in sleeping mode as a baby. Until a year, year and a half, you don't know nothing about what's outside. You're sleeping mode, you're really understanding what's happening, you're bringing that equilibrium all together. From a year and a half to six, you're in hypnosis. Four cycles per second to eight cycles per second. The inner world is really an outer world. So from around the age of four to eight, to 12, around that age your brain like imagine, like you know, your cycle per second is from like now, 7.8 or eight cycle per second to 12 cycle per second. That is when it is alpha brainwave. That is the magic. That is when you feel the inner world and outer world is real and you feel everything is possible and the only thing that's between you and your reality is a matter of time. So what happens? That is a time when you believe the fact I've become the best NBA player, best astronaut on Earth on undiscovered planets, the scientists, the ballet dancers, you name it. But around the age of 11, 12 years, the prefrontal cortex starts. You know, that's the crown of human achievement. That is still, you know, exponentially growing fast. That's when you get into the beta brainwave, which is like 12 cycles per second and above.

Hoss Notarkesh:

Brain is not fully, the human brain is not fully developed until age of 25. That age is the age that you're going to learn that analytical mind and judgment. But it's a double-edged sword. It cuts outwards and inwards, meaning you learn more about outside, but also cuts through as well. What happens is that at that point, this is your natural version of you. I've always put it this way. So this is natural version of you. I'm just going to take a step back there. So this is your heart. This is when you're deep within your essence. Then what happens? This one is adopted version of you, meaning that this is the face, the mask that you want to put on for society. This is the one that becomes your persona. This is the one that you think, oh, I'm going to become this person to achieve these things, to make me this emotion. What happens? From the age of, again, 11, 12, you start evolving, basically separating yourself from the deep essence from within, and then you start adopting new behaviors, that is more, along with that persona, again, one year at a time. One year at a time. The degree of your separation is a true reflection of your ego. You develop that becomes your persona along the way. So, until the age of from 35 to 40, some, you are now at that point you realize enough is enough.

Hoss Notarkesh:

I thought I'm going to be achieving everything that is going to give me the true meaning to be happy as I can be, but right now, miserable as fuck. I've achieved whatever I thought, my checklist, my blueprint, but it's not giving me the happiness, the gold medal that you were going to get, the executive role that you want to get, the money through your entrepreneurship, you know, those social status that you want to have it, the education, some people that have two PhDs, for God's sake, you think you're happy, but they reflect back and they realize what they have lost through the process. So what I'm trying to say is this space between the natural version of you with the adopted version of you. When you come to your senses and you realize okay, man, you know what I'm going to be accepting myself. The degree of this space is the same degree of the fakeness that you have gone through as a form of self-betrayal.

Hoss Notarkesh:

Everything you have achieved through your life is as a result of that self. What you call betrayal, because we all you're a result of that self. What we call betrayal Because we all you're high achiever yourself, tom, so as me. So, basically, we have betrayed ourselves to a degree to achieve what we have achieved. But at one point you start saying you know what I'm not really truly feeling the love of life that I was expecting at this phase of life. Then you start accepting yourself for who you have become through your journey. That's the key.

Hoss Notarkesh:

Then, one step at a time, you come closer to your true essence. That takes time. That's shedding the skin. That's the uroboros. That's eating your tail. That's the individuation by Carl Jung. That is when you become, trying to become one with yourself, the true values that you have within you, the true values that you have within you. So the degree of rejection from others is the hallmark of your progress in your self-acceptance.

Hoss Notarkesh:

Because, again, whoever you have become at this point in your persona which is in this face, my right hand on the top that is the persona you put on the social mask, that is the person that became to entertain so-and-so's idea and ideology, not you. So when you become more of you, obviously they don't connect with this version of you anymore. It's no fault of theirs, it's not judgment against them, but they don't like this Tom, because this clown is not the one that who used to entertain them for sake of their happiness. Now you're becoming one with yourself. Through many years you go through ego disillusion. The ego disillusion is a closing the gap. Become one with you. When you become one with you, that is when you become one with the essence. That's when you serve the life in form of synchronicity. That's when you realize you're at the right time, right place, saying the right things and doing the right things that is happening simultaneously, without any effort. That's what I mean by when you realize these high achievers when they reach out to you. They have gone through almost the same. Now they're on the path of coming back to their true essence Passion discovery is all about that.

Hoss Notarkesh:

And when I say is the bioh has to selective attention is because attention is a currency of consciousness. What is the most expensive commodity in the world, tom, right now? Even more precious than any of the diamond, gold and anything else. And that is what you are doing right now with your podcast. You're trying to bring the most valuable content to your audience to get their attention. Their attention will give you what you're hoping to get the most valuable content to your audience to get their attention. Their attention will give you what you're hoping to get, which is a lot of things, but definitely as a byproduct of it, it's going to be profitability. Am I right? That's what it comes down to. Attention has a price American attention and Canadian attention, european attention versus different attention has a different price for it. Attention is a currency of consciousness, meaning if you can hone down your attention to do what you want to do, you are going to be invincible. You become that Michelangelo, you become whoever you want to become, if you can just really bring it down. So that's what I mean by that Selective attention is that biohack. Then your attention is honed down to the task at hand.

Hoss Notarkesh:

So passion discovery not necessarily mean, though it used to be a doctor First of all.

Hoss Notarkesh:

I had many doctors that they left behind their physician world. Now they're doing something else. What happens is not as if that is the case, but you are going to at least know more about yourself and your true passion from within. That you connect with it from within rather than oh, from within. That you connect with it from within rather than oh. This car or this office, this house, this muscle or social status means A, b, c, d. There's no interpretation anymore. You feel it, you become one with it. So that's basically the essence of passion discovery, and that's why I have had a chance to serve all of these high achievers, executives, athletes and entrepreneurs through their journey. Because we get through the egoistic behaviors, that becomes the obstacle in your way that eventually you realize I got nothing to prove here why would I really overcome these obstacles that it was projected by my ego in the first place? It doesn't matter the byproduct of your love for that mastercraft, it will become your success. Does that make sense?

Tom DuFore:

It absolutely makes sense for sure. Thank you for walking through and giving an overview on that. And when someone, I guess, starts going through this, as you've described, what are maybe some common obstacles that they might run into or that you maybe see your clients struggle with as they start to get into this?

Hoss Notarkesh:

It comes at the cost of you letting your old self die, and that's painful. That difficulty, that peace that you know wandering desert phase, that from the old self to become the new self, is painful. That's why it's not for everybody, it's just. It is something that, because you're giving up everything you have ever become, like you were through that. What do you call it? Goal setting? Am I right? Like you thought this will make you happy, that persona that, whatever the status that you were working on. So what happens is, though, when you are not really feeling it anymore, it comes to the point that you have to choose. Oh, you know what, though? I'm going to give up everything that I've ever become for a destination that I've never experienced the unknown, exploring something that I'd never thought it would give me the satisfaction, because most people around you didn't do it.

Hoss Notarkesh:

Most people, like 55% of North American people, don't like what they do because they are scared of the unknown. So they stick with that thing. They say I'd rather to do a job that I'm unhappy, right, I do something that is, I don't know what we look like. That's such an unknown. So what is it? 60% of marriages are miserable. They don't leave the partner. Why is that? Just because, again, they say what is it? The devil that I know is better than the one that I don't, so what a miserable life, for God's sake.

Hoss Notarkesh:

So what I'm saying is, though it's not easy, what I'm proposing is not forever. It's a hero journey. You're familiar with that. It's a hero journey. You got to let the old self die to become that. Through the ashes, the phoenix rise above the ashes. So what I'm saying is, though, through the process, we have obviously our own, you know, supports that would help you to navigate through that process. But, no matter what, it's going to be definitely torturous in many ways, because we have our own ways up, so we have to cut back on sugar. There's definitely co-plunging. We have our own biohacks, integrated body trainings, many things that will help you through the process, but still, you got to go through the process, Otherwise it's not going to happen.

Tom DuFore:

How can someone learn more about what you're doing and get connected with you?

Hoss Notarkesh:

Oh, I appreciate the question, tom. So yeah, passiondiscoveryca, it's simple, passiondiscoveryca, so that's what it is. And again, usually on our social media hosts, that's what it is. So, and again, usually, you know, on our social media, haas usually is a very what do you call it, I would say rare name. So if you Google me as well Haas, executive business coach, also, I come up as well on Google and then all of our social media is the same thing Haas, I'm an executive coach and Passion Discovery is something that is. That's the program that I'm referring to.

Tom DuFore:

Haas. This is a great time in the show and we make a transition and we ask every guest the same four questions before they go. And the first question we ask is have you had a miss or two on your journey and something you learned from it?

Hoss Notarkesh:

Oh my, God, yeah, man, I miss it. It's hard to pick from because a lot of I miss a lot, quite a bit. But one of them was I landed my first keynote speaking and I prepared for that thing for so long. It was my this, right through the covid. It was big, I would blow it. They loved it. They became number one through the whole thing that the whole conference was like thing like four or five days, my session was was the most favorite one, as per the ce's comment on Google review, on my Google.

Hoss Notarkesh:

But, man, I blow it because I jam my content so much. Like right now, when I go back, if I would have done the same gig, I would have done maybe just one fifth of it. If even I jammed it and my ego though I'm all right, like I wasn't trying to like prove it come out and say I was done. You know, man, that was a miss. And then, following six months later, I landed another gig, same approach. I said you know what I jam all the content into, like one hour, and again, people loved it. But when I look back right now, so, coach Steph, she's the founder and the president of speak by design university, she's my coach. And then when she watches, she goes what were you thinking you were doing? So what I'm saying is, man, sometimes when you're super excited and also some of your egoistic approach that is subconsciously is trying to get better of you, and then you come out and then you overdo it.

Tom DuFore:

So yeah, man, let's talk about, on the other side, a make or a win, or a highlight or two you'd like to share.

Hoss Notarkesh:

Yeah, I think you know what. One of the things that I'm most proud of is that I prepared with Coach Steph. She prepared with me and again, these are thousands of dollars of you know coaching one-on-one, because some of these coaches are very, you know, pricey for what they do. Obviously, and you know it goes without saying I prepared a speech for like 700 people and then I prepared it for months and I practiced it, blah, blah, blah.

Hoss Notarkesh:

Go up there and, man, the night before the speech I threw it all apart. I said no way. I threw it away. I said there's no way I'm going to be doing it. I will do what my heart and my desire is going to say. I'm not going to do it for the sake of business. I'm going to get up there, I'm going to say what I feel about it. And it turned out to be just awesome Because, again, I let it out just the way that it spoke to my heart and I'm so proud of that move and I tried to.

Hoss Notarkesh:

I honestly carry the same momentum for any of my other talks afterwards and you know, I became more personable. I connect with people more genuinely, actually, and I'm discovering that every single day, every breath that I take I'm trying to again become a more authentic version of myself as much as possible, so that was a big win for me. Again, I'm not measuring it from the conversions or more leads or whatever we got after it. No, it was a true feeling of the liberation that I felt on that stage. I felt I loved it.

Tom DuFore:

And it's interesting sharing that contrast where you were really almost maybe overprepared or making it too processed right that it was too processed and you realized, wait, this is not what the audience they need to hear. So I love that you followed that. The name of the show is Multiply your Success and the next question we ask is have you used a multiplier to grow yourself personally, professionally, or any of the organizations you've run?

Hoss Notarkesh:

No for sure. Yeah, in my past role, you know, as a former corporate executive, so I think you know a lot of great stuff. For sure you know that's where Zen Team Building was born. Zenteambuildingcom is one of our best selling product. We help a lot of you know organizations and you know healthcare settings and again, non-healthcare settings with that program. That's for sure you know. But also, though, personally you know, all my biohacks are very simple, like the first one is meditation, then it's cold plunge. We have also designed a new cold plunge that's going to be launched very soon as well. So it's definitely meditation, cold plunge.

Hoss Notarkesh:

Fasting I usually fast like 20 hours, 22 hours a day, so sugar cut back. And then I had 22 years of drinking lifestyle that I enjoyed every single of it. No more drinking. I haven't been drinking for years. Smoking quit smoking for 20 after 20 years. So many of these habits that used to give me that what they call temporary, I would say you know, satisfaction, you know none of those have happened. So, yeah, I would say those are my biohacks.

Hoss Notarkesh:

So Integrated Mind Training, which is yoga and Pilates, and some other ones that you connect with it as well. Also, it will help you to. Again, they're all multiple factor. And again, when you're talking about these multiple factors, I think what happens intrinsically they're so. What do you call it meaningful to you as a byproduct? That when you can see it also in your bank account? That's what it comes down to. So yeah, for me if I was going to just again repeat it again. So it would be a cold plunge, meditation, fasting, and then again sugar cut back, no alcohol, no drugs, anything else that used to be fun for so many years. And then definitely come to yoga and some other integrated body-mind training.

Tom DuFore:

The final question we ask every guest is what does success mean to you?

Hoss Notarkesh:

Yeah, I love that question. You know what I'm going to cheat here. So success to me is to be at the right time at the right place to do the same right thing. So that to me is a success. And a true meaning of it is synchronicity you live and breathe synchronicity meaning you are where you're supposed to be, at that time in that place to do and say what you're supposed to say. That's truly a success. And I cheated because that's from Dr Jordan Peterson, so I added my version to it, but the deep soul of it is from him and I love it how when he said it, I've been a student of his for many years. So, yeah, when you are at the right, and again, every time that you might have your own version of it, but when you peel it off, they all come down to that You're at the right time at the right place to do that and say the right things. I think that's what it comes down to.

Hoss Notarkesh:

No matter what that's the book, basically it's a mighty book. It's called the Journey of Consciousness and the subtitle is the Path of Least Resistance to Ego Dissolution. So there are a lot of personal anecdotes here. There are a lot of individuals who have gone through the journey with us. If you have a chance to read it, you know, and all the proceeds, all the money from the book goes to an account that helps individuals and the corporations to reach their full potential. So that's what it is.

Tom DuFore:

Where can someone get a?

Hoss Notarkesh:

copy of the book. Yeah, passiondiscoveryca, it will be halfway through, you will see it. You will see it there and right now, with our publisher, it's printed and published in the US and you know, right now they are actually tweaking some of the launch on that as well. But when you go to passiondiscoveryca, there's a link and the book in there and, yeah, I hope that it's not a lot of pages, because what is it? It took us three years to edit it with two top editors and to really bring it down. Keep the goal in there.

Hoss Notarkesh:

So at least you know people when they're reading every page. It will mean something to them. Anybody gets to the if they get to, if that is a F, because there's a F. If you get to chapter seven, which is the last chapter, it's impossible you will be the same person, just because, yeah, the first four or five pages warm up, but there's definitely chapter six and seven. You can write to me and say, hey, dude, I read this book, I'm still the same person that I pick up the book and I give you $1,000.

Hoss Notarkesh:

Here's a recorder right here on this podcast. Hold me to it, I'll give you $1,000.

Tom DuFore:

Before we go. Is there anything you're maybe hoping to share that you haven't had a chance to yet?

Hoss Notarkesh:

At the end of the day, I want to wish everybody best of luck in their journey, and I want to. You know, I contributed my book to everyone who are ordinary and they're letting their own self die for the sake of their masterpiece to become their legendary self. Every single, every single one out there is doing that in their own capacity. Keep up the great work. There are going to be some setbacks along the way, but that's the price to pay and that's what makes the life not only living for but dying for. You know, we've got only one life. Let's live it like we mean it.

Tom DuFore:

Haas, thank you for a fantastic interview and let's go ahead and jump into today's three key takeaways. So takeaway number one is when he talked about deciding that he was going to live his life as if he were going to die tomorrow, essentially really seeking and pursuing what is of greatest interest and passion for him. Takeaway number two he talked about the most valuable commodity in the world being attention your attention, my attention, getting the attention of our customers, and so on. Takeaway number three is when he talked about a multiplier. For him is when he gave up these temporary joys that come in his life in the form of what he was doing at the time. He was smoking and drinking and eating sugar and lots of other things that he did and decided he was going to implement a better body and mind training. And now it's time for today's win-win. So today's win-win comes at the end of the episode when he talked about what success means to him and he said it's to be at the right time, at the right place to do and say the right thing. And really, for him, he summarized it as saying synchronicity and being in sync and synchronized with himself, his purpose, his plan, all of the things that he wants to do, and I think that's a great reminder for all of us just to really be thinking about am I in a rhythm, in sync, or am I trying to force something to happen or force something that doesn't seem to flow? And I think that recognition is a great way to close the podcast today. So that's the episode today.
