00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.560
All right. Welcome to Men's Heart Shaking Monday, July 13th. Good to see you guys here.

2
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:16.040
I mean, Kenton, Dan, Thomas, Christopher, Jesse. I'm supposed to be Jackie, I guess.

3
00:00:16.040 --> 00:00:21.440
David Henshaw and iPhone 15. There we go. We got everybody in the house.

4
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:23.440
iPhone 15 is Kevin.

5
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:29.320
Yeah, I know. Kevin, I don't know if you knew that. That was basically what your thing was

6
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:30.320
saying there.

7
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:34.720
Yeah, I'll have to go ahead and change it. I ran over my other phone with my excavator,

8
00:00:34.720 --> 00:00:36.920
so this here's a new one.

9
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:37.920
Stuff happens, right?

10
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:38.920
Yeah, yeah.

11
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:46.240
All right, everybody. Let's get into this heart check-in. I want to tell you up front

12
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:52.120
here, we'll be probably a little short tonight. Jackie will probably hop on here in just a

13
00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:59.440
few minutes, too. But anyway, I want to encourage you, there is going to be ... This Thursday,

14
00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:07.200
there's going to be a session. It's an Ask Jackie slash Modern Dating Sucks book club

15
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:15.520
sort of like content. Coaching, personal questions, Ask Jackie, all that kind of stuff is really

16
00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:22.040
important if you're interested and wanting to dive into some of that content. That is

17
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:28.040
going to be, I think this month, it's going to be this coming Thursday. So definitely

18
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:33.920
look out for that. I wanted to remind you of that as well. So make sure that you're

19
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:39.320
on there if you can be.

20
00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:43.760
It's funny because we always have a different group of guys every Monday. It's kind of funny

21
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:51.840
how random our little group here seems to be Monday to Monday. I know I'm not down here

22
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:56.240
a lot, but I've been traveling a lot, doing a lot of things. So it's been crazy. Just

23
00:01:56.240 --> 00:02:02.160
got back, just literally got back into town 30 minutes ago from Abilene, Texas. I don't

24
00:02:02.160 --> 00:02:04.800
know if anybody's ever been to Abilene, Texas.

25
00:02:04.800 --> 00:02:05.800
Yep.

26
00:02:05.800 --> 00:02:15.480
Don't go. If you can all help it. It's nothing really to see, not really exciting. The comment

27
00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:22.360
that I had in my head to anybody that asked was, in order to live in Abilene, Texas, you

28
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:30.240
have to really, really, really, really want to be there. I don't know why. That's all

29
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:39.920
I can say about it. It's as if, it's as if that city has been revitalized, you know,

30
00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:47.160
after like 20, 23 years, 25 years, something like that. Revitalized four different times

31
00:02:47.160 --> 00:02:54.560
and completely forgotten each time. Like, I don't know how a city can get as, it's just

32
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.440
strange. I don't know. It's small and it's just kind of weird. And I don't know.

33
00:02:58.440 --> 00:02:59.920
There's some good people there.

34
00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:04.120
I'm kind of being really hard. Thomas, I know you're always going to bring it back

35
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:09.880
to, you know, something positive and kind and that's always good. I like that about

36
00:03:09.880 --> 00:03:10.880
you.

37
00:03:10.880 --> 00:03:15.560
Abilene made it into Ella Langley's hit song.

38
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:20.400
That's the thing right now. That's the hot thing. Should have never taken him to back

39
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:21.400
to Abilene.

40
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:22.400
Yeah.

41
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:23.400
I get it. And it's true.

42
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:24.960
There's something about it.

43
00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:29.880
Yeah. And there must be a honky tonk there or something. One thing is there is about

44
00:03:29.880 --> 00:03:35.440
20 miles out of town. There's a huge complex of data centers that are going in there. So

45
00:03:35.440 --> 00:03:41.400
that's, it's kind of changing the complexity of the city a little bit in terms of workers

46
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:45.880
coming in and different people running those facilities. So maybe, maybe there's a little

47
00:03:45.880 --> 00:03:50.960
bit of resurgence coming back. Hopefully, maybe it'll boost the economy a little bit.

48
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:59.360
Anyway, so, so anyway, so guys, let's get into it. Who, who's got something to share

49
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:05.480
tonight? Got to bring to the table. What's going on? Haven't heard from a lot of you

50
00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:11.920
in just a moment. So give me what you got. Let's, let's talk.

51
00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:19.600
It's been a crazy couple of weeks.

52
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:20.600
Go ahead.

53
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:25.040
Yeah, it's been, it's been a crazy couple of weeks for me.

54
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:26.040
Okay.

55
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:34.920
So, so it's like two weeks ago out of the blue, somebody from this last year single

56
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:44.040
community reached out to me. This was, my coach was like, just have like a short list

57
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:50.720
of like names and then just proactively like reach out. And one of them did respond back

58
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:59.040
to me, wanted to give it a shot. So, you know, we've been texting, that'd be like video calls.

59
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.080
we finally met each other like on Friday in New York City, it went really good and

60
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:12.480
oh but it's yeah but it's one of those things that I guess she thought that she was ready for

61
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:20.000
another like long distance relationship thing and she's not so so we had like how long is it

62
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:26.720
so are you in Connecticut is that what CT is yeah okay so like two hour difference two three hour

63
00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:34.720
yeah because she lived in she lived somewhere in Pennsylvania she's not too far from an Amtrak so

64
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:40.240
she was able to like take the train an hour into New York City yeah which means she did another

65
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:46.800
hour she would have been in my neck of the woods and I kind of get it because where she lives

66
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:51.360
there's not like I guess I really should she had has been long distance like two hours or longer

67
00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:58.160
so it's I guess after a while you just get tired of the constant like texting and video calls you

68
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:04.960
want to meet somebody like local so you can like do a face-to-face kind of thing I yeah I get it

69
00:06:04.960 --> 00:06:14.240
but I guess the encouraging thing is it ain't me I'm not the problem like she went out of her way

70
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:21.040
to point out like I'm chock full of green flags it's just her okay I'm just gonna take that for

71
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:27.600
what it is that's discouraging as that is but yeah some encouragement there and some validation

72
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:36.480
um how in your journey up into last year single and then even within last year single what is

73
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:43.760
your remind me of your relationship uh history real quick are you have you been married divorced

74
00:06:43.760 --> 00:06:51.600
what is it none none actually yeah never married never divorced no kids or nothing

75
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:58.560
okay all right and okay and then long time relationship I think the longest I've gone

76
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:04.480
was like three months it's never gone longer than that I see okay so you know sometimes people that

77
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:10.800
have never been married um they kind of had a one relationship or a couple relationship that maybe

78
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:16.000
went you know a year two or whatever like we're heading that way but just never got to that point

79
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:24.080
so that's why it's why we're asking so okay yeah so that's good validation um and your dating

80
00:07:24.080 --> 00:07:29.040
history I mean have you dated a lot or not really done a bunch of that been kind of busy working

81
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:37.120
doing whatever life I have been busy with life and just doing a lot of healing by the time I got

82
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:43.600
right into that in my head I was like on the I was like approaching 40 and then

83
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:50.080
COVID happened and that's dating landscape changed all of a sudden it's a red flag

84
00:07:50.080 --> 00:07:56.800
to never had a serious relationship before age 40 so here I am yeah yeah yeah no okay that's good

85
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:01.280
information anybody have some feedback uh I like the fact that you know you got validated in that

86
00:08:01.280 --> 00:08:08.000
sense I love that thank you it's just one of those things it's been like a crazy long time

87
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:14.480
the dating apps don't work well for me no it took this long just to get some kind of response back

88
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:19.040
from anybody so I'd imagine it's probably gonna be another few years before the next opportunity

89
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:26.080
comes but right just try to stay positive no yeah no it doesn't have to be that long I believe in

90
00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:34.000
you um I mean it's a lot of things in your control and a lot of things outside of your

91
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:40.000
control and it sounds like you did the best you knew how with what was in your control this time

92
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:46.320
and uh I don't know I'm really feeling that verse from Ecclesiastes that talks about not despising

93
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:52.960
the day of small beginnings oh yeah and um I don't know I'm I'm excited for you to build on

94
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:58.880
to build on this but that's that's an opinion I you know not not not really like a question

95
00:08:58.880 --> 00:09:05.120
so I think that's great feedback yeah and I would agree with that because uh Dan I think um

96
00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:13.120
were you spotlighted at one time on no not yet okay um there was I have seen you a lot in the

97
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:18.960
community and and not just on the guys calls but on some other calls and I'm pretty and I'm I'm

98
00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:23.280
I feel like you have a good rapport because I feel like some of the engagement you've done

99
00:09:23.280 --> 00:09:28.640
even say it's like some chatting sort of things that you have done you've got sort of a good

100
00:09:28.640 --> 00:09:33.120
rapport with sort of the community in general so I think you've kind of known there so that's that's

101
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:40.400
a good thing so I agree with Thomas let's celebrate the win let's celebrate great beginning small

102
00:09:40.400 --> 00:09:47.760
beginning but I don't think it has to be a long time between now and the next time I mean you

103
00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:55.520
you might be surprised that getting involved with a community like this a either from within

104
00:09:55.520 --> 00:09:59.920
the community or tangent to the community you might find

105
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.400
Find some, some, some real activity going on there.

106
00:10:03.400 --> 00:10:06.160
So I think it's a very hopeful season for you.

107
00:10:07.640 --> 00:10:08.080
Thank you.

108
00:10:08.640 --> 00:10:08.880
Yeah.

109
00:10:08.880 --> 00:10:09.200
Yeah.

110
00:10:10.920 --> 00:10:11.280
Who else?

111
00:10:11.280 --> 00:10:12.000
Anybody else?

112
00:10:14.920 --> 00:10:15.840
Yeah, I can share a little.

113
00:10:16.280 --> 00:10:16.880
Oh, go ahead.

114
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:21.200
Can you guys hear me?

115
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:21.520
Okay.

116
00:10:21.520 --> 00:10:22.200
I'm driving.

117
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:24.800
Yeah.

118
00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:26.440
Jesse, we can hear you.

119
00:10:26.520 --> 00:10:26.960
Okay.

120
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.280
Um, good to see you guys again.

121
00:10:30.280 --> 00:10:37.640
It's been a bit, um, I just, I just finished up like a season that I felt

122
00:10:37.640 --> 00:10:40.840
like the Lord had led me into, and I was just trying to be obedient to

123
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:42.520
what I thought he was saying.

124
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:44.360
I had met a girl.

125
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:50.160
I felt like the Lord was leading me just to disconnect and from pursuing a

126
00:10:50.160 --> 00:10:55.040
relationship for a season and like get off the one app that I was on.

127
00:10:55.920 --> 00:10:59.840
Um, but prior to that, I connected with someone on that app and we were

128
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:02.960
chatting for about four weeks and it was really good.

129
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:04.320
She's a really great girl.

130
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:11.120
Um, just, yeah, a lot to like about her, but I was like, I was just feeling

131
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:14.720
convicted and like the Lord was leading me off and here I connected with someone

132
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:16.960
and I just felt like I needed to.

133
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.240
Um, I just let her know.

134
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.240
I said, Hey, I just feel like this is what the Lord is saying right now.

135
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:24.320
I just need to take a break.

136
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:29.440
And anyhow, that ended last Sunday or last Monday on the sixth.

137
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:38.000
Um, so I'm kind of back, back in the game, uh, or whatever you want to call it.

138
00:11:38.760 --> 00:11:49.600
Um, but so I did connect with someone, um, online and yeah, I'm just trying to,

139
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:53.040
I don't know, like I'm kind of an all or nothing personality.

140
00:11:53.040 --> 00:12:02.320
So like, it's hard for me to, I'm learning to like navigate this dating

141
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:07.440
thing, you know, and not go like all in and not, and not then feel like I need

142
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:11.120
to pull back and like, just be me and the Lord again and just kind of like

143
00:12:11.520 --> 00:12:13.520
walk with the Lord in it, you know?

144
00:12:13.920 --> 00:12:20.040
You know, and, and like, like this girl I'm talking to, like, I was really

145
00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:21.600
excited when I saw her profile.

146
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:29.400
Um, I'm, I'm still interested, but it's not, I don't know.

147
00:12:29.400 --> 00:12:30.640
I don't know if it's going to go anywhere.

148
00:12:30.640 --> 00:12:36.840
So I'm not sure like when to like, you know, kind of cut ties or not.

149
00:12:37.160 --> 00:12:40.000
Um, I don't know how much time to give it, how much effort to give it.

150
00:12:40.880 --> 00:12:49.680
Um, but anyhow, the main thing is I'm back, I'm back in, and, um, you know,

151
00:12:49.800 --> 00:12:56.000
a season of being open to, to, um, connecting with women, you know,

152
00:12:56.160 --> 00:13:00.280
when you said, when you said it ended last Sunday or whenever it was like,

153
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:01.800
what was it that ended?

154
00:13:01.800 --> 00:13:02.840
You, you were just talking

155
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:07.240
my, my season of just focusing on the Lord and this season.

156
00:13:07.280 --> 00:13:07.560
Okay.

157
00:13:07.560 --> 00:13:07.920
Got it.

158
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:12.080
I wanted to make sure I was clear on what it was that was, I got it.

159
00:13:12.400 --> 00:13:12.720
Yeah.

160
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:13.080
Yeah.

161
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:13.800
Okay.

162
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:15.440
Well, yeah.

163
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.160
I mean, I think it's kind of interesting.

164
00:13:18.160 --> 00:13:24.400
Like you said, you're interested, like you're, I think you said you

165
00:13:24.400 --> 00:13:28.680
were like into, or something, I don't know, into this girl or this lady.

166
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:32.960
Um, and you're not sure if you should pursue it.

167
00:13:34.280 --> 00:13:34.960
Like, okay.

168
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:42.680
So after meeting her, like she has, she's like, she's from a really good family

169
00:13:42.680 --> 00:13:48.080
and she's like, her dad's a pastor and she's, has a really sincere faith, but

170
00:13:48.760 --> 00:13:54.640
she, um, her husband cheated on her and, um, she wanted to work it out,

171
00:13:54.640 --> 00:13:55.680
but he wasn't interested.

172
00:13:55.680 --> 00:14:00.560
So they, they divorced like three years ago and then she met someone

173
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.440
and they moved in together.

174
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:10.160
And then, um, it wasn't working out and she's like, this is not working.

175
00:14:10.160 --> 00:14:11.640
And so they broke up.

176
00:14:12.040 --> 00:14:16.680
And then in that same week, she found out she was pregnant from said Bella.

177
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:23.040
And I'm like, okay, like this is, this is a born again, woman of God.

178
00:14:23.400 --> 00:14:28.560
But yet she, she found herself in that situation here.

179
00:14:28.560 --> 00:14:29.800
I'm done driving now.

180
00:14:30.680 --> 00:14:34.200
And I'm just, I feel like I need to like talk to her more about that

181
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:41.320
because I don't know, it just seems like that if you make, like, it's one thing

182
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:45.200
to like be tempted in the moment and like go too far, but it's another thing

183
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:50.560
to make the decision to move in with, with your boyfriend, like that's very

184
00:14:50.560 --> 00:14:56.000
premeditated and like, how could you, in my opinion, like, how could you do that

185
00:14:57.160 --> 00:14:58.800
when you have the spirit of God living in you?

186
00:14:58.800 --> 00:15:00.080
But.

187
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.680
Yeah, well, I mean a lot of people a lot of people do a lot of things for a lot of reasons. I mean

188
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:09.400
Like the the how could you sort of thing? It's like well

189
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.000
Well, I mean, yeah

190
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:17.200
I know what I mean, but I mean it's definitely worth

191
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:19.400
like

192
00:15:19.400 --> 00:15:26.720
How how she was divorced three years ago, but then within the first year it seems like I don't know. I'm just sorry

193
00:15:27.680 --> 00:15:29.680
but then the first

194
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.260
All right, I don't have to get the phone disconnected from the car

195
00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:43.960
Can you hear me we can't hear you but can you hear me?

196
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:51.000
He's getting his tech worked out you are currently muted

197
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:59.280
Yeah, you can't currently mute there Jesse now you guys I'm gonna leave and come back. I'm gonna leave. Okay, that's cool

198
00:15:59.280 --> 00:16:01.280
That's cool, Jesse

199
00:16:01.280 --> 00:16:04.320
Can you guys hear this equipment or not? I got on me. No

200
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:07.160
No, you can't hear anything on there

201
00:16:08.920 --> 00:16:15.000
Yeah, anybody I mean like I feel like with Jesse's situation I wanted to come back someone to hear kind of like what's going on

202
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:16.200
but um

203
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:21.960
So we'll just move on to somebody else for now, but who's got something David Hinshaw. You just came on camera there. We got man

204
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:27.060
Yeah, I was just gonna say real quick with that situation with Jesse

205
00:16:27.060 --> 00:16:31.740
I just see like I think her heart was extremely broken over the marriage

206
00:16:32.100 --> 00:16:36.580
Sure, and that was like a huge open door for me to come in and just wreak havoc

207
00:16:36.580 --> 00:16:40.900
I don't know. That's just what I'm sensing. But yeah, I mean, yeah

208
00:16:40.900 --> 00:16:44.420
I mean, like I said, a lot of people do a lot of things for a lot of reasons

209
00:16:45.420 --> 00:16:47.420
and

210
00:16:48.540 --> 00:16:50.540
It is true it's just like

211
00:16:51.540 --> 00:16:53.100
You know

212
00:16:53.100 --> 00:16:55.980
What somebody does prior to you even knowing them?

213
00:16:56.580 --> 00:17:01.860
Like definitely plays into the future, but at the same time it's just like

214
00:17:03.020 --> 00:17:05.020
unpacking the the circumstances

215
00:17:06.700 --> 00:17:11.380
The residual being that she she have she has this child, is that correct? Yeah. Yeah

216
00:17:11.380 --> 00:17:18.140
She has like a 16 month old child and this is and this child is her only child or it's her only child

217
00:17:18.140 --> 00:17:20.140
Yeah, her and her husband couldn't get pregnant

218
00:17:20.140 --> 00:17:22.859
They're married nine years couldn't get pregnant

219
00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:28.099
Then she is with this guy and they break up and she's pregnant

220
00:17:28.740 --> 00:17:32.100
With his child. Yeah crazy. Yeah

221
00:17:32.780 --> 00:17:34.780
Yeah, that's that's very

222
00:17:35.100 --> 00:17:39.300
It's very difficult and that's a that's a really difficult situation to be in

223
00:17:40.380 --> 00:17:43.180
because it does say a lot about like

224
00:17:43.820 --> 00:17:45.820
You know

225
00:17:45.860 --> 00:17:51.060
What her choices are and were at the time and like I said people do things for a lot of different reasons

226
00:17:51.580 --> 00:17:55.500
Right, but it's been some time. I guess the really the biggest thing is

227
00:17:56.940 --> 00:18:02.780
You know, where is she now in terms of you know, what does she want to do with her life?

228
00:18:02.780 --> 00:18:06.180
I mean, obviously she has settled into the fact that she has this child

229
00:18:06.180 --> 00:18:10.700
so basically it's not really any different than somebody who's single and has a

230
00:18:11.300 --> 00:18:17.900
Child from previous relationship at this point right something still going on that just is you know

231
00:18:19.380 --> 00:18:24.540
Not healthy, but if she's in a healthy space and a healthy place and she's like look at that was a while ago

232
00:18:24.540 --> 00:18:30.220
Even though it seems recent history. That was you know more than a couple years ago and

233
00:18:30.900 --> 00:18:38.060
I'm in a different place and I'm ready to you know, move my life forward. So that's really the greater conversation

234
00:18:38.140 --> 00:18:40.140
Yeah, obviously there are those

235
00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:45.820
Realities that you would have to deal with basically, okay. This is a person's been in

236
00:18:46.420 --> 00:18:49.020
Previous relationship previously married has a child

237
00:18:50.580 --> 00:18:55.380
So forth. Yeah, so how do you how do you I know you've got several children

238
00:18:56.140 --> 00:19:00.980
Yeah, a whole brood of children. And so how does it how would you feel just normally?

239
00:19:02.620 --> 00:19:05.740
Connecting with somebody already has children regardless of

240
00:19:06.660 --> 00:19:08.340
the situation

241
00:19:08.340 --> 00:19:15.860
Yeah, I'm and I mean, I'm definitely open to it for sure. You were already open to that. I'm open to it. Yeah, but I

242
00:19:16.780 --> 00:19:22.420
Guess I haven't really gotten and I'm not serious with her. But as I'm thinking about

243
00:19:23.780 --> 00:19:29.660
You know continuing communicating with her. I'm like, I guess I'm thinking about a little bit more. I'm like that is a big

244
00:19:31.300 --> 00:19:35.140
It is a big consideration to raise I mean I would be

245
00:19:35.740 --> 00:19:42.580
if it would move forward and we would like get married like I would be helping to raise this this boy, you know that

246
00:19:43.620 --> 00:19:45.620
that um

247
00:19:47.380 --> 00:19:49.220
Yeah it

248
00:19:49.220 --> 00:19:52.500
It's just I mean we think you know, it's making me think more

249
00:19:52.500 --> 00:19:54.900
Do you know you think you know until it's you think you know

250
00:19:54.900 --> 00:20:00.020
You have the answer till it's right in front of you and it requires a deeper answer. And so that's something that

251
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.920
I am thinking about a little bit more now.

252
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:04.280
It's like, how do I feel about that?

253
00:20:04.280 --> 00:20:09.040
You know, I know it's definitely a big possibility

254
00:20:09.040 --> 00:20:14.040
that I'm going to, whoever I connect with will,

255
00:20:14.040 --> 00:20:17.320
there's a good chance that they will have children.

256
00:20:17.320 --> 00:20:18.760
You know, maybe not, but.

257
00:20:20.800 --> 00:20:23.080
What was it that caused you to be interested

258
00:20:23.080 --> 00:20:24.440
in this woman that you know?

259
00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:25.960
I mean, how did you meet her?

260
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:26.880
It was just through an app.

261
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:28.620
Like, we don't, we're just chatting a little bit.

262
00:20:28.620 --> 00:20:30.800
Like, we haven't even chatted that much, but.

263
00:20:30.800 --> 00:20:32.140
Do you not really know her?

264
00:20:32.140 --> 00:20:36.220
I don't know her that well, but she definitely,

265
00:20:36.220 --> 00:20:39.740
like, we align spiritually and like our theology is very,

266
00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:44.140
like, she's like, her dad's a Pentecostal pastor

267
00:20:44.140 --> 00:20:48.740
and like, she sings, she leads worship at their church,

268
00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:52.380
you know, so she, there's a lot of like,

269
00:20:53.260 --> 00:20:57.520
we have in common from like a belief standpoint

270
00:20:57.520 --> 00:21:00.680
and what our expectations are in that realm.

271
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.960
And anyhow, it's more of a side note.

272
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:06.440
It's not really a main topic to talk about.

273
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:11.440
The main topic was, I'm just, I'm open to,

274
00:21:11.560 --> 00:21:14.940
you know, I'm, you know, I'm looking to date again.

275
00:21:14.940 --> 00:21:17.360
So that's the topic, so.

276
00:21:17.360 --> 00:21:19.000
That's awesome, that's great for you.

277
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:20.240
I love that.

278
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:21.680
I love that you're open.

279
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:26.040
Yeah, I don't think I would kind of just push back on,

280
00:21:26.040 --> 00:21:29.640
not even really hard, but just kind of like, you know,

281
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:36.680
I feel bad for the fact that you feel like

282
00:21:37.100 --> 00:21:38.560
you have to like push and pull.

283
00:21:38.560 --> 00:21:42.320
It's like start and stop, start and stop, start and stop.

284
00:21:42.320 --> 00:21:45.840
And so I'm just wondering if there's something there

285
00:21:45.840 --> 00:21:50.480
that you feel like, like, why did you,

286
00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:52.120
I mean, is it like overwhelming?

287
00:21:52.120 --> 00:21:53.840
Is there other things going on in like life?

288
00:21:53.840 --> 00:21:55.480
And so just like, life is hard.

289
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:57.560
And so it's kind of like, hey, I just, I'm just like,

290
00:21:57.560 --> 00:21:59.640
I don't have the capacity for that

291
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:01.720
in terms of like trying to do the dating thing.

292
00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:03.080
And then I've just got to sort of reset.

293
00:22:03.080 --> 00:22:04.440
Is that kind of like the pattern

294
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.680
or is it something else there that you feel like

295
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:09.920
is something that you would want to work through

296
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:11.280
so that you don't feel like you have to start

297
00:22:11.280 --> 00:22:12.440
and stop all the time?

298
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:13.280
Yeah.

299
00:22:13.280 --> 00:22:15.000
That's the thing I think probably is the biggest question.

300
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:17.440
Yeah, that's a good question.

301
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:22.000
So like how it happened, like I really truly felt like

302
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.000
I wasn't necessarily looking to not be dating,

303
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.440
but I just really felt like the Lord led me into a season

304
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:32.120
of just really focusing on him.

305
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.120
And I was talking to a girl at the time

306
00:22:36.120 --> 00:22:38.600
and I really thought there could be something there,

307
00:22:38.600 --> 00:22:41.240
but I was just trusting the Lord.

308
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:42.960
And so that's why I did that.

309
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:46.000
But in general, I am an all or nothing type personality.

310
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:50.320
And I just know I need to work on just kind of like,

311
00:22:51.320 --> 00:22:54.640
yeah, just meeting, allowing the Lord to like walk me

312
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:56.560
through things in the moment, which he has,

313
00:22:56.560 --> 00:23:01.520
but like in the season I'm in, you know, and I don't know.

314
00:23:01.520 --> 00:23:06.520
I think part of it too is like, I have a hard time,

315
00:23:06.840 --> 00:23:08.680
like I don't want to like hurt people either.

316
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:13.680
Like, so like I've met different girls that are great girls.

317
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:15.720
And if the Lord's like, that's the one for you,

318
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:16.760
I would be happy with it.

319
00:23:16.800 --> 00:23:21.480
But I just feel like, I guess I'm still learning

320
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:24.640
like really what I'm aiming for.

321
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:25.480
Yeah.

322
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:27.480
So in that process, I'm like, well,

323
00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:30.760
do I like date to learn that and just kind of like

324
00:23:31.800 --> 00:23:35.680
meet people and then like say thanks, but no thanks

325
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:39.920
or do I kind of figure out more exactly

326
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:42.840
what I'm looking for and then pursue that only

327
00:23:42.840 --> 00:23:44.360
or early on that?

328
00:23:45.360 --> 00:23:47.480
I think a couple of things and I think,

329
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:50.080
and please anybody else chime in if you've got something

330
00:23:50.080 --> 00:23:53.560
because I think I will say this.

331
00:23:53.560 --> 00:23:58.160
I think every man, every man is,

332
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.240
especially if you have some sort of conscientiousness

333
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:05.360
about your life.

334
00:24:05.360 --> 00:24:09.360
There are a lot of guys that are just going through life

335
00:24:09.360 --> 00:24:11.680
at their own speed, at their own desire,

336
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:13.600
at their own just, it's all about me.

337
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:15.680
I'm just trying to get my thing.

338
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:20.680
And I would say most of those individuals aren't yielding

339
00:24:21.040 --> 00:24:25.520
to probably a lot of,

340
00:24:27.840 --> 00:24:31.080
if you're not making space to sort of like hear the voice

341
00:24:31.080 --> 00:24:33.120
of the Lord leading you in things,

342
00:24:33.120 --> 00:24:35.960
there's a way to be strong in your faith

343
00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:38.640
and way to be like in agreement with what God's doing

344
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:41.640
in your life and you're going after things.

345
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:43.680
And then being in still alignment with the Lord

346
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:47.440
and getting reset and refreshed and getting re-fired,

347
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:52.440
all that versus the stereotypical guy that's out there

348
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:54.400
just trying to get his thing.

349
00:24:55.320 --> 00:24:57.920
Whereas like he's not paying attention to God at all,

350
00:24:57.920 --> 00:24:59.600
not paying attention to anybody else,

351
00:24:59.600 --> 00:25:00.440
not paying.

352
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.200
attention to, you know, any sincerity or value around him in terms of relationships, that

353
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:08.600
kind of thing, that guy.

354
00:25:08.600 --> 00:25:14.280
So I don't think any of us are that guy, the stereotypical type A, just trying to get his

355
00:25:14.280 --> 00:25:15.280
sort of guy.

356
00:25:15.280 --> 00:25:17.200
I don't think any of us are that.

357
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:24.720
So having said that, I think we are sort of like that first guy who is, I feel like guys

358
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:30.780
who have any kind of conscientiousness about, you know, doing good things with their life

359
00:25:30.780 --> 00:25:35.720
struggle between like, oh, I've got to reset and I've got to like the start and stop thing.

360
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:38.920
Like I'm doing really good, but then something happens and I feel like I'm out of balance.

361
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:43.840
And so therefore I've got to like pull back and I've got to like, you know, whether it's

362
00:25:43.840 --> 00:25:51.560
whether it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, whether it's a behavior thing that you feel like is

363
00:25:51.560 --> 00:25:56.920
like not worthy, or if it's just something you just don't feel confident in, like maybe

364
00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:58.560
it's just a loss of confidence.

365
00:25:58.560 --> 00:26:02.120
Maybe, you know, you're just not like, I don't know who I am.

366
00:26:02.120 --> 00:26:07.360
So I think getting clarity is really, really important.

367
00:26:07.360 --> 00:26:11.760
So if you're like, I just need to get clear on what it is I want, what I'm going after,

368
00:26:11.760 --> 00:26:18.560
I think that is definitely for sure something because getting clarity really helps you to

369
00:26:18.560 --> 00:26:24.360
combat that starting and stopping, especially regardless of whether it's relationships or

370
00:26:24.360 --> 00:26:29.520
your career or your health or whatever it is that you're going after.

371
00:26:29.520 --> 00:26:33.200
You don't want to like, like start and stop, start and stop.

372
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:40.800
Now in the same way, if you're trying to just, you know, motivate yourself to achieve a goal

373
00:26:40.800 --> 00:26:46.320
and you have to continue, like, I'm not against starting as many times as you need to start.

374
00:26:46.320 --> 00:26:49.760
If you're trying to develop a new habit, if you're trying to develop a new regime or

375
00:26:49.760 --> 00:26:54.120
a new regiment or a new routine, you got to start and start and start and start as many

376
00:26:54.120 --> 00:26:57.360
times as you can to make that thing a habit, especially if it's something good you're trying

377
00:26:57.360 --> 00:27:00.360
to train in your life, that's a different thing.

378
00:27:00.360 --> 00:27:04.120
But if you feel like you're like starting and stopping in terms of the things that you

379
00:27:04.120 --> 00:27:10.840
have a strong desire for, i.e. family and like something that you want to establish,

380
00:27:10.840 --> 00:27:15.480
then I think it's probably a moment of clarity that you need to have as far as like really

381
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:19.960
spending some time and you don't need to spend like weeks and months.

382
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:22.000
It may just be a weekend.

383
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:26.960
It may be a full 24 hour period where you're like getting really intentional about, Hey,

384
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:29.400
what is it that I want?

385
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:34.920
Like I'd be honest, you know, I want this, I want, you know, and that's, and it's more

386
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:38.320
than just, I want to be married and have a great woman.

387
00:27:38.320 --> 00:27:43.560
Like be very specific about what it is you want and be very honest.

388
00:27:43.560 --> 00:27:49.440
That's the other thing, because if you're struggling with something, then the honesty

389
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:54.060
that you have in that moment of getting clarity, you need the voice that as well.

390
00:27:54.060 --> 00:27:59.880
Like look, Lord, I want this, but I'm struggling because I feel like my desires may be, you

391
00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:05.320
know, leading me in another direction that I don't want either, but I really want value.

392
00:28:05.320 --> 00:28:07.800
I want a marriage and I want this, I want those things.

393
00:28:07.800 --> 00:28:14.040
And so I want to develop those patterns of behavior, patterns of thinking, patterns of

394
00:28:14.040 --> 00:28:18.600
a spiritual awareness that lead me into those goals and those things that I want and having

395
00:28:18.600 --> 00:28:24.160
clarity on those goals and having clarity on what it is that you want.

396
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:28.200
That's the, I think the modern dating sucks book is really great at that because it has

397
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:35.920
a huge section constantly talking about getting clear, getting clear, getting clarity on what

398
00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:40.800
you want out of a relationship and what kind of relationship and the specifics of that

399
00:28:40.800 --> 00:28:44.360
relationship and how it connects to your life.

400
00:28:44.360 --> 00:28:49.320
I think that's probably one of the greatest things you can do in this season of searching

401
00:28:49.320 --> 00:28:56.320
is get clarity because then you don't have to date and always discovering, well, I mean,

402
00:28:56.320 --> 00:29:02.000
you are discovering, but what I'm saying is you don't have to date like without intention.

403
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:06.000
It's easier to date because once you have clarity and you're going out on dates and

404
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:11.280
you're like, oh, this isn't lining up with the clarity that I've had with the, and I

405
00:29:11.280 --> 00:29:17.300
think there's a lot of things, especially in the book that gives you the difference

406
00:29:17.300 --> 00:29:21.400
between things that are non-negotiables and things that are preferences.

407
00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:24.040
That's another thing to get clarity on.

408
00:29:24.040 --> 00:29:26.420
What's the difference between those two things?

409
00:29:26.420 --> 00:29:33.980
What is lots of things that people put up as preferences are actually non-negotiables

410
00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:34.980
and vice versa.

411
00:29:34.980 --> 00:29:39.380
Lots of things that people put up as non-negotiables are really not non-negotiables, they're just

412
00:29:39.380 --> 00:29:43.460
preferences, but you think they're very important.

413
00:29:43.460 --> 00:29:50.340
Getting clarity even on that is very important in order to move forward and have confidence

414
00:29:50.340 --> 00:29:51.340
in moving forward.

415
00:29:51.340 --> 00:29:52.340
Does that make sense?

416
00:29:53.340 --> 00:29:55.340
Yeah, that makes sense.

417
00:29:55.340 --> 00:29:56.340
Yeah.

418
00:29:56.340 --> 00:30:00.020
So, and I think that will help you do.

419
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.240
you know, kind of go away from the starting and stopping, you know,

420
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.040
God's like, no start, no stop, no start, no stop.

421
00:30:11.040 --> 00:30:12.400
Like that doesn't make any sense.

422
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:17.280
That seems like I'm there's like a confidence thing or a clarity issue or

423
00:30:17.280 --> 00:30:18.120
whatever.

424
00:30:19.280 --> 00:30:22.400
Yeah. And I haven't done a ton of that last year I did in April.

425
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:24.480
I started dating like March and April.

426
00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:27.920
I dated like a lot and I was worn out and,

427
00:30:28.040 --> 00:30:30.320
and overwhelmed and I had to just retreat.

428
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:34.920
Yeah. And I get it. And I'm, and I'm not talking, I mean, I'm just talking,

429
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:40.360
I think a lot of guys, a lot of guys deal with this.

430
00:30:40.360 --> 00:30:42.400
I'm starting and stopping.

431
00:30:42.520 --> 00:30:46.520
That's kind of why I'm addressing this broadly is because I think a lot of guys

432
00:30:46.520 --> 00:30:49.440
are like, I feel good this week and I'm really going after it.

433
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:50.560
And then next week it's like, Oh,

434
00:30:50.560 --> 00:30:52.680
I lost my confidence and something happened and whatever.

435
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:57.480
And I feel like I should pull back and that starting and stopping is just

436
00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:00.120
kind of a time waster. And it's,

437
00:31:00.120 --> 00:31:03.640
and it's not really the mind of God because I don't really think God's like,

438
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:07.840
go stop, go stop. Like, I don't think it's that kind of thing.

439
00:31:07.840 --> 00:31:08.720
I think it's something that's,

440
00:31:08.760 --> 00:31:13.440
we're getting in our way somehow and it could be an issue of clarity and it's

441
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:16.800
not something that's wrong with you. It that's life, bro. That is like,

442
00:31:16.800 --> 00:31:20.840
that's how this world works. But the, the,

443
00:31:20.840 --> 00:31:25.480
the thing what's great about being a son of God is that you're called

444
00:31:26.040 --> 00:31:31.040
to, to be a part of the kingdom that has resources.

445
00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:35.600
So you, you have this inroad to be able to have clarity,

446
00:31:35.600 --> 00:31:40.240
to be able to have truth, to be able to have a North star, to be able to have,

447
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.840
you know, intentionality, a purpose, instead of just wondering, you know,

448
00:31:45.840 --> 00:31:49.240
what am I, what am I doing? What am I here for? What do I want? You know,

449
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:53.960
I hope that helps because I think getting clarity,

450
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:58.000
I think is probably your, your, the thing that could help you out the most.

451
00:31:58.200 --> 00:32:01.240
And sometimes it's just a long weekend, you know,

452
00:32:01.760 --> 00:32:05.320
sometimes you take a long weekend, you know, like, you know what,

453
00:32:05.320 --> 00:32:09.240
I'm going to set aside a long weekend and I'm going to really kind of get some

454
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:13.040
clarity. I'm going to pursue in prayer and I'm going to pursue in my heart and

455
00:32:13.040 --> 00:32:16.040
mind. I'm going to journal, write some things down. I'm going to get some,

456
00:32:16.360 --> 00:32:20.840
some resources that you're working through. Yeah. Yeah. Very helpful.

457
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:24.920
Yeah, it's good. And I did get clarity even recently,

458
00:32:25.080 --> 00:32:29.120
like even specifically like today or in yesterday.

459
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:32.360
So even further clutter clarity. So it's good. That's good.

460
00:32:33.120 --> 00:32:37.320
Yeah. I love it. Awesome. Thanks, Jesse, for, um,

461
00:32:37.360 --> 00:32:40.680
sharing your heart and sharing what's going on with you.

462
00:32:42.040 --> 00:32:43.440
Who else hit anybody else?

463
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:47.000
I kind of resonate with that sort of getting clarity thing. Yeah.

464
00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:49.240
Yeah.

465
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:55.440
And not, not just clarity start, start at all. I mean, I, I haven't,

466
00:32:55.600 --> 00:32:56.960
I haven't probably dated in

467
00:32:59.520 --> 00:33:02.360
eight years, 10 years. I don't know a long time.

468
00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:07.600
I mean, I do live in a small town and I am in Alaska, but

469
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:13.920
I mean, I've always been open to it. If somebody comes along, great.

470
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:18.320
But, uh, with, with my work and stuff,

471
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.880
I don't really have time to go look either right now.

472
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:24.840
We're working a six 12. So.

473
00:33:25.560 --> 00:33:28.920
Yeah. Wow. I, um, I met,

474
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:33.040
I just met a lady from Alaska, uh,

475
00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:35.520
in California a couple of weeks ago.

476
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:38.520
She was a new member of our, the mastermind that I'm a part of.

477
00:33:38.520 --> 00:33:43.240
And she told me she was from a little town and I'm trying to find it on the

478
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:47.360
map right here. Boy, that was a really weird town.

479
00:33:49.320 --> 00:33:51.440
She said it was way on the Eastern end.

480
00:33:53.600 --> 00:33:54.440
There's a Yakut.

481
00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:57.200
She out like him. Oh, yeah. I could take, yeah.

482
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:00.920
Is, or maybe it's another little town. I'm not really sure, but she has.

483
00:34:01.840 --> 00:34:02.680
Fly in only.

484
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:05.840
Fly. Oh, fly in only. Maybe it's.

485
00:34:07.120 --> 00:34:11.760
Might be able to get to my boat. I can't remember. I've been there once or twice.

486
00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:13.360
Really? Wow.

487
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:17.000
Uh, I, I get to go a lot of places with my job. So.

488
00:34:17.040 --> 00:34:18.600
It might not be that far remote.

489
00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:23.199
It just seemed like it was a little less like not flying necessarily, but,

490
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:26.639
um, yeah, I can't remember the name of the town. Anyway,

491
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:30.080
this site was interesting. Somebody said they were from Alaska and she's recently

492
00:34:30.080 --> 00:34:32.120
widowed. Um,

493
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:37.040
she owns a store and she owns a grocery store and a hardware store in town that

494
00:34:37.040 --> 00:34:40.520
her husband started, or I guess her husband's father started.

495
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:43.600
And it's been a part of the family business. And so she's kind of like,

496
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:45.760
kind of coming up to try in the last couple of years,

497
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:50.000
trying to come up and trying to lead that and kind of discover what she's going

498
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:51.520
to do with it. So.

499
00:34:52.520 --> 00:34:55.360
I just, I don't know where to start. I mean, I don't,

500
00:34:56.120 --> 00:34:58.480
I don't know if I should, you know, first of all,

501
00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:00.560
I don't know if I should get in that position.

502
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:07.120
I should start pursuing a relationship even though I'm working so many hours or, or, you

503
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:03.760
Yeah. It's a little bit of a,

504
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:06.200
it's a little bit of a struggle to get in that position.

505
00:35:07.120 --> 00:35:13.560
know, and just, it'll be just what it is, you know, but I'm not real trusting of the

506
00:35:07.600 --> 00:35:08.200
Yeah.

507
00:35:13.560 --> 00:35:22.360
dating apps either because all, all I've had, uh, probably 98% of the women that I've connected

508
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:29.800
with online always end up asking for money and that's a, that's a problem.

509
00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:32.160
And if I say no, that's pretty much it.

510
00:35:32.160 --> 00:35:37.760
I mean, they'll butter me up for months and months cause I'm right out front when he asked

511
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:43.040
me for money, we're done talking, you know, my, my son's been in a relationship for four

512
00:35:43.040 --> 00:35:44.040
years.

513
00:35:44.040 --> 00:35:45.040
His girlfriend don't ask him for money.

514
00:35:45.040 --> 00:35:52.080
I just, uh, you know, I haven't even met you in person yet, you know?

515
00:35:52.080 --> 00:35:54.680
And I think, I think that's a fair point.

516
00:35:54.680 --> 00:35:55.680
Yeah.

517
00:35:55.680 --> 00:35:56.680
Yeah.

518
00:35:56.680 --> 00:35:57.680
That's rough.

519
00:35:57.680 --> 00:35:58.680
There's a lot of that going on there on those apps.

520
00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:01.760
Um, yeah, getting Kevin, uh, for sure.

521
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:06.560
Um, yeah, I'm with you as far as, you know, just like what to do and getting clarity.

522
00:36:06.560 --> 00:36:11.920
I think that's definitely something in your situation that, um, you know, you're going

523
00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:14.520
to have to really ask the Lord, like, what, you know, what do you want me to do here?

524
00:36:14.520 --> 00:36:19.800
Like, how can I get clarity on what it is that, that I want here?

525
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:22.920
And right now, I mean, I feel like, I feel like in your situation, you feel like you

526
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:26.440
have to work a lot because, you know, it's what you got to do to make a living.

527
00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:27.440
So I get it.

528
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:28.440
Yeah.

529
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:29.440
Yeah.

530
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:41.000
And in the summer, November until May, you know, so, which is when I started this was

531
00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:42.200
while I was out there.

532
00:36:42.200 --> 00:36:44.440
You might be able to find a seasonal woman there's, there's for sure.

533
00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:47.520
I mean, I don't mean a seasonal, just a woman for the season.

534
00:36:47.520 --> 00:36:51.000
What I mean is like a woman who understands the seasons, like, you know, somebody who's

535
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:56.640
native to that sort of life can understand that and appreciate it and, you know, and

536
00:36:56.840 --> 00:36:57.840
believe that.

537
00:36:57.840 --> 00:36:58.840
So yeah, definitely get clarity there.

538
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:04.160
David, you got your hand raised, which you have a, yeah, I just wanted to share real

539
00:37:04.160 --> 00:37:05.160
quick two weeks ago.

540
00:37:05.160 --> 00:37:09.520
I got in a car accident and I'm still dealing with the aftermath of that, like injuries

541
00:37:09.520 --> 00:37:10.520
and all that.

542
00:37:10.520 --> 00:37:14.880
I heard about that and I'm sorry that that happened.

543
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:15.880
Thank you.

544
00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:16.880
I appreciate it.

545
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:19.560
The car got totaled.

546
00:37:19.560 --> 00:37:26.480
So basically I'm in a place where I can't really get a car until things get settled.

547
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:30.600
I'm going through a lawyer because the person who's hit me was driving a company vehicle.

548
00:37:30.600 --> 00:37:31.600
Oh wow.

549
00:37:31.600 --> 00:37:38.000
So, I mean, so I have a potential for a case there, but like if my injuries aren't like

550
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:42.880
significant enough, then there's basically no case and it just ends with no, no, you

551
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:47.640
know, financial compensation, unfortunately on that car, I was backwards on the boom,

552
00:37:47.640 --> 00:37:49.800
so it's not even going to pay it off.

553
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:59.160
So, um, so yeah, so, um, but I guess getting to the theme of tonight, um, I've been wanting

554
00:37:59.160 --> 00:38:06.760
to head down to, you know, Nashville area, Franklin, see, uh, Renee, she was going to

555
00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:10.560
set me up with seeing a bunch of people and I just feel like it's kind of like both are

556
00:38:10.560 --> 00:38:11.560
going on.

557
00:38:11.560 --> 00:38:15.040
I feel like maybe it's not the right time yet, like putting the cart before the horse,

558
00:38:15.040 --> 00:38:17.480
but I also feel like it's warfare too.

559
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:18.480
Like I just keep getting blocked.

560
00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:24.040
It's like, like no matter what I do, I cannot, it feels like I cannot leave this place.

561
00:38:24.040 --> 00:38:27.880
Like I've been wanting to take like a trip outside of Pennsylvania for like a year and

562
00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:30.400
a half now and it just hasn't happened.

563
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:32.800
So there's always, always something coming up.

564
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:38.120
So, but I mean, I'm in a very different place now than I was even four months ago.

565
00:38:38.120 --> 00:38:42.400
So a year ago, you know, it, it stunk, but like I wasn't really in a place to even do

566
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:44.920
something like that, you know, just, just take a trip.

567
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:45.920
Yeah.

568
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:46.920
Yeah.

569
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:51.960
So, yeah, that's for sure.

570
00:38:53.080 --> 00:38:59.480
Well, I, I just, I just pray, I just agree with you and pray that this financial situation

571
00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:03.560
with the car, whatever's going to happen legally or insurance wise or whatever, that that happens

572
00:39:03.560 --> 00:39:08.120
quickly and it happens in your favor so that you can make an advancement here.

573
00:39:08.120 --> 00:39:13.240
Because I mean, I, I agree with you, like, yeah, what a time for something like this

574
00:39:13.240 --> 00:39:18.600
to happen, but I believe this is something that's, it can still be opportunity.

575
00:39:18.600 --> 00:39:20.080
God's, God's a miracle worker.

576
00:39:20.080 --> 00:39:24.440
He's amazing at making things work out in your favor.

577
00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:27.680
And so I just agree with you that's going to happen so that you can still continue to

578
00:39:27.680 --> 00:39:28.680
move forward.

579
00:39:28.680 --> 00:39:32.680
Because I think that would be a great idea for you to go down and check out Nashville

580
00:39:32.680 --> 00:39:34.160
and get introduced.

581
00:39:34.160 --> 00:39:38.120
And that's an awesome, that's an awesome invitation.

582
00:39:38.120 --> 00:39:41.560
So I pray that you're going to be able to be able to take advantage of that.

583
00:39:42.560 --> 00:39:43.560
Thank you.

584
00:39:43.560 --> 00:39:44.560
I appreciate that.

585
00:39:44.560 --> 00:39:45.560
Yeah, for sure.

586
00:39:45.560 --> 00:39:48.560
Who else has got something on here, guys?

587
00:39:51.560 --> 00:39:53.560
I'm happy to share a little.

588
00:39:53.560 --> 00:39:56.560
Yeah, it's been a while since I've seen all of you.

589
00:39:56.560 --> 00:39:59.560
I've been just.

590
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:07.380
I, I, I've been working on productivity stuff and I learned that if we have 168

591
00:40:07.380 --> 00:40:12.660
hours per week and we sleep eight hours a night, um, then we have 112 hours left.

592
00:40:13.460 --> 00:40:17.460
And figuring out what do you do with those 112 hours?

593
00:40:17.580 --> 00:40:21.780
Um, I'm really running into a lot of my limitations in some really great ways.

594
00:40:22.740 --> 00:40:25.900
And, uh, it's forcing me to start being more creative.

595
00:40:26.220 --> 00:40:31.980
Um, uh, since last time I've been here, um, some highlights are, um, I've been

596
00:40:31.980 --> 00:40:33.460
continuing to do scuba stuff.

597
00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:37.300
I just finished my wreck diver, um, like shipwreck certification.

598
00:40:37.740 --> 00:40:38.100
Oh, wow.

599
00:40:38.980 --> 00:40:45.380
Um, uh, had, um, my second ever guitar performance in Hollywood.

600
00:40:45.820 --> 00:40:46.100
Wow.

601
00:40:46.220 --> 00:40:52.820
Um, uh, a few weeks ago with the school of rock band, like adult band, uh, yeah.

602
00:40:53.780 --> 00:41:00.780
And then, um, uh, and then, um, I think, yeah, working on poetry, writing, you

603
00:41:00.780 --> 00:41:01.980
know, all that kind of stuff more.

604
00:41:01.980 --> 00:41:05.580
And I feel like God invited me to meet him at the Raphael art

605
00:41:05.580 --> 00:41:06.940
exhibit at the New York Met.

606
00:41:06.980 --> 00:41:13.220
So I went out there, um, and, um, it was, it was really inspiring that Raphael's

607
00:41:13.220 --> 00:41:16.900
teacher talked about art had the potential to help people pray and

608
00:41:16.900 --> 00:41:18.340
experience spiritual delight.

609
00:41:18.900 --> 00:41:19.380
Oh, wow.

610
00:41:19.460 --> 00:41:23.180
That's not that, you know, I'd been really struggling with how to create

611
00:41:23.180 --> 00:41:25.820
something positive from art instead of negative.

612
00:41:26.420 --> 00:41:28.300
Um, so it was tremendously helpful.

613
00:41:28.300 --> 00:41:38.020
I would say romantically, um, I had felt, I felt just the, just this deep

614
00:41:38.060 --> 00:41:45.500
longing for just getting things more in a place of togetherness in, in, in the

615
00:41:45.500 --> 00:41:50.740
sense of my life, like getting my life kind of on, on track and, but this, this

616
00:41:50.740 --> 00:41:56.420
last week, um, I was on hinge and I was so happy, um, there, there are all these,

617
00:41:56.460 --> 00:42:01.300
you know, the people behind the Rose gates, um, that, uh, sometimes I

618
00:42:01.300 --> 00:42:05.620
disqualify myself for, and I've been, I've been working on being more playful

619
00:42:05.620 --> 00:42:09.500
on, on the apps with some mixed amount of success.

620
00:42:09.980 --> 00:42:17.140
Um, and, uh, I feel like I really reached a place of not disqualifying myself as

621
00:42:17.140 --> 00:42:21.660
much, like when I see someone that I think is really amazing, I, in the past,

622
00:42:21.660 --> 00:42:24.540
I've tended to think like, oh, they're, you know, they're too amazing.

623
00:42:24.540 --> 00:42:28.700
They're not going to want to, I think, I think that, um, this last week I was

624
00:42:28.700 --> 00:42:33.140
really grateful to reach a place of saying like, well, you know, it seems

625
00:42:33.140 --> 00:42:36.460
like people who are on these apps really want to be in a relationship.

626
00:42:37.140 --> 00:42:42.020
And I'm going to start letting the ladies decide whether or not they want to share

627
00:42:42.020 --> 00:42:44.060
time with me instead of disqualifying myself.

628
00:42:44.700 --> 00:42:45.860
Yeah, absolutely.

629
00:42:45.900 --> 00:42:47.740
So, so I'm really grateful for that.

630
00:42:47.780 --> 00:42:49.940
It feels like a move in a good direction.

631
00:42:49.980 --> 00:42:53.180
And I think that, that like you were talking about David, David, there's

632
00:42:53.180 --> 00:42:57.420
something I think about getting in touch with, um, your heart.

633
00:42:57.500 --> 00:42:59.020
That's something that.

634
00:42:59.980 --> 00:43:03.500
You know, every day, you know, I know, I know that's a lot of journey for all of

635
00:43:03.500 --> 00:43:09.420
us, but I feel like there's a lot of conflict if you are saying, well, I need

636
00:43:09.420 --> 00:43:13.340
to disqualify myself from what my heart is saying that it wants.

637
00:43:14.060 --> 00:43:14.500
Yeah.

638
00:43:15.020 --> 00:43:17.060
Um, so yeah, that's a good way to put that.

639
00:43:18.100 --> 00:43:22.420
Um, so grateful to be getting rid of a little bit more conflict.

640
00:43:22.780 --> 00:43:28.740
Um, I think today also I was reading about Solomon and him building the

641
00:43:28.740 --> 00:43:34.740
temple and just feeling despair just at not doing great things like him or David

642
00:43:34.740 --> 00:43:36.340
or Abraham Lincoln or whoever.

643
00:43:37.020 --> 00:43:37.380
Yeah.

644
00:43:38.820 --> 00:43:45.180
Like we probably don't have enough information to accurately judge ourselves

645
00:43:45.180 --> 00:43:46.700
in comparison with other people.

646
00:43:47.420 --> 00:43:52.340
And so to try to see that, and I felt like when I keep myself in that comparison

647
00:43:52.340 --> 00:43:58.460
mode, it causes me to view members of the body of Christ as competitors instead

648
00:43:58.500 --> 00:44:04.020
of like, who's going to be closest to God, kind of a thing instead of service

649
00:44:04.020 --> 00:44:07.140
oriented and, um, in partnership.

650
00:44:07.980 --> 00:44:12.180
So you tend to have that sort of mindset sometimes in terms of like hierarchy,

651
00:44:12.820 --> 00:44:16.900
like where kind of does fitting people where they kind of like fit, like not

652
00:44:16.900 --> 00:44:20.620
trying to judge, but I'm just trying to say, you have a tendency to like categorize.

653
00:44:21.260 --> 00:44:26.020
I have a tendency to view myself negatively and view other people positively.

654
00:44:26.180 --> 00:44:26.500
Okay.

655
00:44:26.940 --> 00:44:32.260
And compare my kind of what I project to be my weaknesses compared to what I

656
00:44:32.260 --> 00:44:36.260
perceive to be their strengths, which are probably a hundred percent accurate.

657
00:44:36.980 --> 00:44:37.580
Well, yeah.

658
00:44:37.580 --> 00:44:41.060
I've heard comparing weaknesses to strengths, totally opposite.

659
00:44:41.060 --> 00:44:42.820
That's like, yeah, a hundred percent.

660
00:44:42.820 --> 00:44:43.740
You're going to lose every time.

661
00:44:45.100 --> 00:44:45.860
Well, yeah.

662
00:44:45.860 --> 00:44:49.180
You know, and, and it can be inspiring, but it turns out I think

663
00:44:49.180 --> 00:44:50.700
there's different kinds of inspiring.

664
00:44:51.100 --> 00:44:53.700
So there's like, I don't know if any of you have been reading like Blake

665
00:44:53.740 --> 00:44:57.620
Healy's like veil series, but he talks about like watching two people running

666
00:44:57.620 --> 00:45:00.020
in the park and one of them is being prodded.

667
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.700
by a demon, you know, like, you're not good enough,

668
00:45:02.700 --> 00:45:03.540
you have to run.

669
00:45:03.540 --> 00:45:05.600
And then the other one is running like with angels

670
00:45:05.600 --> 00:45:07.880
and like from a place of celebration and care

671
00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:08.720
and that kind of stuff.

672
00:45:08.720 --> 00:45:13.200
So I think I've been working a lot more on like,

673
00:45:13.200 --> 00:45:15.640
how am I doing what I'm doing?

674
00:45:15.640 --> 00:45:16.480
Yeah.

675
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:17.300
I think so.

676
00:45:17.300 --> 00:45:20.480
Like motivation for why?

677
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:21.400
Yeah, I hope so.

678
00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:22.680
Yeah.

679
00:45:22.680 --> 00:45:24.440
Yeah, it's like, what are we trying to accomplish?

680
00:45:24.440 --> 00:45:26.520
Like with this mentality here?

681
00:45:26.520 --> 00:45:29.840
Yeah, why are we doing

682
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:32.720
what we're doing, but also why are we doing it this way?

683
00:45:32.720 --> 00:45:36.280
You know, like, yeah.

684
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:37.120
I like that.

685
00:45:37.120 --> 00:45:39.440
I love the fact that you're,

686
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:43.680
I love the fact that you're trying to do

687
00:45:43.680 --> 00:45:45.680
the comparison game less

688
00:45:45.680 --> 00:45:47.480
and that you're also seeing the value

689
00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:50.620
because as far as I've known you on these Zooms,

690
00:45:50.620 --> 00:45:53.220
I think you're pretty incredible, fascinating dude.

691
00:45:53.220 --> 00:45:55.660
So I'm just surprised that you have this sense

692
00:45:55.660 --> 00:45:58.480
of kind of like, I'm surprised, but I'm not surprised.

693
00:45:58.480 --> 00:45:59.320
Like I get it.

694
00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:01.720
I understand there's a lot of people that are like,

695
00:46:01.720 --> 00:46:03.680
you know, they don't, you know,

696
00:46:03.680 --> 00:46:07.520
from whether it's a sort of a wound from childhood

697
00:46:07.520 --> 00:46:09.240
or wound from like, just kind of growing up,

698
00:46:09.240 --> 00:46:12.060
the environment, you can basically be an amazing person,

699
00:46:12.060 --> 00:46:16.000
but being nurtured all of your life in a situation

700
00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:17.240
where, you know, you're never good enough,

701
00:46:17.240 --> 00:46:18.320
you're never this, you're never that.

702
00:46:18.320 --> 00:46:20.380
So you develop that script and I get it.

703
00:46:21.520 --> 00:46:24.080
So, but I love the fact that you're coming out of that

704
00:46:24.080 --> 00:46:26.920
and that is like, you're just becoming more aware

705
00:46:26.920 --> 00:46:27.960
and giving the space.

706
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:29.400
Like, I love that about the dating thing.

707
00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:34.400
Like, I'm just gonna let this person decide more on where,

708
00:46:35.320 --> 00:46:38.120
you know, whether they want more from me

709
00:46:38.120 --> 00:46:41.400
because I've got more, there is more there.

710
00:46:41.400 --> 00:46:45.120
Like I can be delightful for days.

711
00:46:45.120 --> 00:46:47.440
You know, I can be delightful for an hour,

712
00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:48.720
two hours or whatever it is.

713
00:46:48.720 --> 00:46:50.240
Like I can, I can do it.

714
00:46:50.240 --> 00:46:52.260
And so I love the fact that you're feeling yourself

715
00:46:52.260 --> 00:46:53.100
with that.

716
00:46:53.460 --> 00:46:57.900
Um, remind me where, and like where,

717
00:46:57.900 --> 00:46:59.340
what part of California again?

718
00:46:59.340 --> 00:47:00.580
All right, are you in LA?

719
00:47:00.580 --> 00:47:02.860
I know you're in LA, but like what part of LA?

720
00:47:02.860 --> 00:47:04.140
Santa Monica.

721
00:47:04.140 --> 00:47:04.980
Oh, Santa Monica.

722
00:47:04.980 --> 00:47:05.800
Okay.

723
00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:06.900
Yeah.

724
00:47:06.900 --> 00:47:08.980
We were, we were just there in that area,

725
00:47:08.980 --> 00:47:12.220
but we went, we went to Santa Monica just for the evening

726
00:47:12.220 --> 00:47:14.980
and we were like, you just kind of like trying to go

727
00:47:14.980 --> 00:47:18.900
to the pier and bikes for a moment on the beach.

728
00:47:18.900 --> 00:47:22.180
But I, I, we're coming back to that area

729
00:47:22.220 --> 00:47:24.260
and I definitely, I definitely want to be intentional

730
00:47:24.260 --> 00:47:27.420
about getting with you because I'd love to have dinner

731
00:47:27.420 --> 00:47:30.780
and, you know, eat up and have coffee or something.

732
00:47:30.780 --> 00:47:31.700
That'd be great.

733
00:47:31.700 --> 00:47:32.540
Yeah.

734
00:47:32.540 --> 00:47:34.260
Do you want, do you want me to email you?

735
00:47:34.260 --> 00:47:35.100
Do you want to email me?

736
00:47:35.100 --> 00:47:36.780
What would, what would work best for that?

737
00:47:36.780 --> 00:47:40.180
Yeah. I just, I have, um, I don't know if I,

738
00:47:40.180 --> 00:47:41.860
you have my email, right?

739
00:47:41.860 --> 00:47:43.580
Uh, I think so.

740
00:47:43.580 --> 00:47:47.300
It's like David, David at JaneMedia.org.

741
00:47:47.300 --> 00:47:50.980
Jane Media, J-A-N-E, yeah.

742
00:47:50.980 --> 00:47:51.820
What's that?

743
00:47:53.140 --> 00:47:53.980
Who?

744
00:47:55.220 --> 00:47:56.420
This is Thomas.

745
00:47:56.420 --> 00:48:00.420
No, um, Silverman, he's been around for a long time,

746
00:48:00.420 --> 00:48:03.540
but we have a mastermind sent at that time.

747
00:48:03.540 --> 00:48:06.180
Is it a guy that works in the industry?

748
00:48:06.180 --> 00:48:07.900
Oh, Matthew Silverman.

749
00:48:07.900 --> 00:48:08.740
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

750
00:48:08.740 --> 00:48:09.900
So make sure you say that on there.

751
00:48:09.900 --> 00:48:10.740
For sure, yeah.

752
00:48:10.740 --> 00:48:11.940
Matthew's, he's not on here tonight,

753
00:48:11.940 --> 00:48:13.300
but yeah, Matthew for sure too.

754
00:48:13.300 --> 00:48:15.300
Matthew's in that area as well.

755
00:48:15.300 --> 00:48:16.140
Oh really?

756
00:48:16.140 --> 00:48:17.300
Yeah, you didn't know that.

757
00:48:17.300 --> 00:48:19.580
Yeah. He's in the, he's in the Hollywood area.

758
00:48:20.540 --> 00:48:25.540
He's, um, like a car, um, graphics, uh,

759
00:48:25.940 --> 00:48:28.780
I, and a butcher or whatever it is.

760
00:48:28.780 --> 00:48:32.340
He's, I'm just going to simplify, but he's, he does like,

761
00:48:32.340 --> 00:48:33.260
uh, animation.

762
00:48:33.260 --> 00:48:34.100
That's what it is.

763
00:48:34.100 --> 00:48:35.460
He's in the animation sort of thing.

764
00:48:35.460 --> 00:48:36.460
And he's like been, you know,

765
00:48:36.460 --> 00:48:38.740
trying to get into back into the industry.

766
00:48:38.740 --> 00:48:40.660
It's a very, very competitive.

767
00:48:40.660 --> 00:48:41.500
Yes, it is.

768
00:48:43.300 --> 00:48:44.260
All right.

769
00:48:44.260 --> 00:48:46.020
So good, good, good guys.

770
00:48:46.020 --> 00:48:46.860
Who else?

771
00:48:46.860 --> 00:48:47.860
Tim, you're on video.

772
00:48:47.860 --> 00:48:49.460
You got something you got on video?

773
00:48:50.340 --> 00:48:51.180
You got to want to share tonight.

774
00:48:52.860 --> 00:48:55.420
Um, what are we sharing?

775
00:48:55.420 --> 00:48:56.260
I missed the meeting.

776
00:48:56.260 --> 00:48:57.100
Oh, we're just like anything.

777
00:48:57.100 --> 00:48:59.180
We, we just happen to be on a theme of kind of like

778
00:48:59.180 --> 00:49:01.060
talking about like getting clarity and, but,

779
00:49:01.060 --> 00:49:03.100
but just kind of updating us on like, you know,

780
00:49:03.100 --> 00:49:04.700
what's been going on with you and,

781
00:49:04.700 --> 00:49:07.860
and anything that's on your heart you want to share?

782
00:49:07.860 --> 00:49:10.700
Mostly just work is what's going on with me.

783
00:49:10.700 --> 00:49:13.380
Um, since a bunch of people on this week

784
00:49:13.380 --> 00:49:16.180
were not on last week's call, but were on previous weeks,

785
00:49:16.180 --> 00:49:19.900
I will update you that absolutely massive

786
00:49:19.900 --> 00:49:22.580
quarter million dollar window project I had going at work.

787
00:49:22.580 --> 00:49:24.700
I have a verbal commitment on,

788
00:49:24.700 --> 00:49:29.380
and I finally today got the final subcontractor bid.

789
00:49:29.380 --> 00:49:30.740
So I'm going to be able to send that

790
00:49:30.740 --> 00:49:33.220
to the homeowner tomorrow.

791
00:49:33.220 --> 00:49:35.900
And I should get a signature later this week.

792
00:49:35.900 --> 00:49:37.020
Awesome.

793
00:49:37.020 --> 00:49:38.660
Great, great.

794
00:49:38.660 --> 00:49:39.500
I love that.

795
00:49:39.500 --> 00:49:42.260
It's always good when you have a win in business

796
00:49:42.260 --> 00:49:45.060
and it makes you feel like it's good.

797
00:49:45.060 --> 00:49:46.820
And of course the cast associated,

798
00:49:46.820 --> 00:49:47.740
that's always good as well.

799
00:49:47.740 --> 00:49:50.620
So are you commission based?

800
00:49:50.620 --> 00:49:51.700
Yeah.

801
00:49:51.700 --> 00:49:53.140
Like a hundred percent commission or?

802
00:49:53.140 --> 00:49:54.940
Yep. One hundred percent commission.

803
00:49:54.940 --> 00:49:55.780
Wow. Yeah.

804
00:49:55.780 --> 00:49:57.420
That's high stakes right there for sure.

805
00:49:57.420 --> 00:50:00.220
Yeah. This will be the biggest paycheck I've ever seen.

806
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.720
Awesome good for you, man. That's awesome. What are you gonna? Do you have any plans what you're gonna do?

807
00:50:06.400 --> 00:50:08.400
Have an emergency fund. Ah

808
00:50:09.240 --> 00:50:10.720
Good good

810
00:50:18.080 --> 00:50:22.520
Celebrate. Okay. Yeah, just whatever it is that you deem

811
00:50:23.440 --> 00:50:27.060

Ride rep for my mountain bike maybe a new handlebar and some new pedals nice

Okay, man, awesome great win I love that Tim thanks for sharing that

816
00:50:48.940 --> 00:50:53.780
Relationship front anything going on there? No, nothing new. Nothing new. Okay, and

817
00:50:54.500 --> 00:50:56.500
And

818
00:50:56.740 --> 00:51:00.380
Christopher I know I don't Chris there was the other Christopher was on here

819
00:51:00.380 --> 00:51:05.080
He was on it earlier. So I was gonna get to him, but he kind of popped off look like so I think Christopher

820
00:51:07.780 --> 00:51:13.820
Had like he was pursuing a relationship but that kind of went a different direction a

821
00:51:14.340 --> 00:51:17.300
couple weeks ago and so I just kind of wanted to hear an update on that, but

822
00:51:17.940 --> 00:51:20.380
I'm gonna miss out that I have to follow up on them some other way

823
00:51:21.100 --> 00:51:23.100
All right. Anybody else got anything?

824
00:51:24.260 --> 00:51:25.380
Mm-hmm

825
00:51:25.380 --> 00:51:31.620
Christopher de Lucia, do you have anything to share? I don't know if you're able to I know you're at work a lot sometimes or

826
00:51:34.460 --> 00:51:37.900
Nothing really happening I was getting ready to go see somebody this

827
00:51:38.420 --> 00:51:44.060
This weekend, but she thought I wasn't being intentional. So we're kind of out of contact. Oh

828
00:51:45.740 --> 00:51:48.900
Like you weren't intentional enough is that basically what she was saying?

829
00:51:48.900 --> 00:51:51.820
I I guess I you know what I had to give her wasn't enough

830
00:51:52.060 --> 00:51:57.020
I was already I was already hip deep in a couple of other things. I was doing so I wasn't yeah

831
00:51:57.020 --> 00:51:59.020
Yeah, you know I wasn't

832
00:51:59.460 --> 00:52:05.060
Intentional enough to drop everything I had going on to plan something out with a woman. I don't know

833
00:52:05.060 --> 00:52:07.740
So yeah now, I mean it could be difficult

834
00:52:07.740 --> 00:52:10.940
especially when you've got things going on to explain that to somebody who's

835
00:52:11.620 --> 00:52:14.900
doesn't understand your life, you know, so that's that could be challenging and

836
00:52:16.380 --> 00:52:20.100
Hopefully some people would give you a grace for that, but I guess not

837
00:52:21.100 --> 00:52:23.100
Sorry to hear that

838
00:52:24.460 --> 00:52:26.460
Yeah, sorry to hear that

839
00:52:28.500 --> 00:52:35.420
Okay, I think that's everybody everybody got good shared and I think I love that and
