Change your day's tone in 2 minutes
Good morning, everyone. So I'm gonna play a two minute recording of Michael Sheen's speech in one of the sports shows. Look, Duffy Walsh can pump up it, so I'm gonna play it. We speak more after because if this doesn't get your goosebumps going, I don't know what will.
Speaker 2:Could you give us a little burst of the the sort of rousing speech that you might give the Welsh lads before they go? Oh my god. That's that's a big responsibility. Yes. Can we have some music, please?
Speaker 2:Alright. I have to get in the right headspace now. Okay. Omarohid. Omarohid.
Speaker 2:I hear the voices singing. Speed your journey, boys, boys, back. One nation singing with one voice. A song of hope, a song of courage, a victory song that floats through the valleys like a red mist, rolls over the mountain tops like crimson thunder. A red storm is coming to the gates of Qatar.
Speaker 2:It crackles with the spirit of '58 and Jimmy Murphy's boys. It turns the pages of the history books and finds Rob's page waiting still to be written. What would you write in there, boys? Dare you write your names on that page? We haven't waited sixty four years and come halfway around the world to be troubled by a neighbor from back home.
Speaker 2:When the English come knocking on our door, let's give them some sugar, boys. Let's give them some wealth sugar. They've always said we're too small. We're too slow. We're too weak, too full of fear.
Speaker 2:But Amar or heed, you sons of speed, as they fall around us, we are still here.
Speaker 1:You tell me that was in an unbelievable speech by Michael Sheen. Said with passion, just fire. You don't have to be Welsh to be pumped up by art. Doesn't it doesn't it doesn't it go to show that something's someone's enthusiasm can channel through to you and you can feel your state of mind, your mood has changed after two minutes of listening to someone, going out something with passion and vigor. I love it.
Speaker 1:It's called show the mountain overnight every day. You're nuts. You've you've every day you'd be like, yes, do it. Sometimes we just need our support, like, we need someone to say, you can do it. And you know we got the talent in our stuff like that, but something we just need someone we trust or a friend or something like Michael Sheen to say, hey, you can do it.
Speaker 1:Go and do it, and then we do it. It makes sense like human wise, like over time. We're already social people, social groups. So it makes sense that someone in the group says, you can yeah. You could do it and you go, okay.
Speaker 1:I'll do it. I think it's powerful. And our speech is bang on. There's a phrase in our speech so powerful. He says, sons of speed.
Speaker 1:And you might think I mean he's fast, but it's it's likely in reference to Gary Speed who was the Welsh manager that committed suicide just before we got into our first Euros in 2016. So his legacy lives on. He built the foundation for Welsh footballs at 2 Euros an hour going to the first World Cup in sixty four years, like massive achievement for a nation of 3,000,000 people, you know. And, yeah, the the way he delivered it. You may be thinking why, you know, what's mean?
Speaker 1:At the end, he says, we're still here. You know, that's what that means, and the means we're still here. Still here in spite of English oppression over the hundreds of years trying to wipe out the Welsh language, wipe out the Welsh people. Instead, the Prince of Wales is English as a mark of we own you, and all the terrible stuff has happened over the years, and the Irish would know the same. All of this comes through history, and, yeah, it still filters through now the a lot of, like, negative bias towards Wales in the in the media and England.
Speaker 1:And when you meet some English people there, you know, they save some of these things like they look down to us. We're still still at today, and especially minor strikes back in when Churchill sending the army killed people, shot to them. Loads of stuff in history. Right? And I'm not saying English people are the problem today.
Speaker 1:They're a ruling class, you know, he's bringing that up because it's still felt to this day that people's grandparents, mother, people living in the rural areas, still felt that he's invigorating people. Like, you know, even though you've gone through this shit, even though it's there, we're still here. We can still do it. We can put our mark out there. You can put your mark on that page in history, but you have to have the guts to put your name down there.
Speaker 1:And that's, in reference to all of us. Some are too scared to do something, too scared to do a job promotion, too scared to see that thing, too scared to start that business. But a base example is our very own Debbie Holt. Last few weeks ago, I was talking about she wanted to start this business bracelet business. I think she might have had it done on the side, didn't have a name, didn't have a website, whatever.
Speaker 1:And she said, you know what? I'm gonna do after this chat. So she put a post up in the turtle group. I've seen amazing bracelets sent out to the turtles. She's starting, it's getting going, it's building momentum.
Speaker 1:She's had a guts to put her name out there and put your product out there for scrutiny. Because you know what? It's it's it is nerve wracking sometimes. You put your name on it, put put something out there and people must, you know, slate it. That's terrible and you feel, oh, no.
Speaker 1:But you can't let that scare you. Same as these football boys now, when they go and play England, they can't hold back. You can't be defensive. You can't just be like, I'll play it safe. I don't wanna make a mistake.
Speaker 1:And if I play it safe, then I'm not doing anything wrong, am I? Playing it safe is the wrong. Because playing it safe hardly works out. You have to go and take that risk because playing it safe is riskier than giving it your best shot. On your deathbed, they speak to these old people all the time.
Speaker 1:You see those videos, what's your biggest mistake, biggest regret? And they're like, oh, not giving that thing a go. Not giving that passion thing I wanted a go. Not doing the thing I really wanted to do or a fear, you know. And that's the main regret everyone will ever have in life is something as small as someone saying you might look stupid holding you back.
Speaker 1:When you're on your deathbed and said, you know what? You didn't start our thing you really wanted to do because one person said you might look stupid or might be stupid and somebody would laugh at you. You'd slap yourself in the face, wouldn't you? You're like, what the fuck? What?
Speaker 1:What? I didn't stop because of that. Nah. Because some stupid idiot I don't even know anymore. So I might be looking stupid.
Speaker 1:And a lot of it is that we're childhood friends and family that we we think are they judge us. They don't owe you. They don't know the real what you're capable of. You know, that's the the phrase I love is you never there's never prophets are never in their land. You're never a prophet in your own land.
Speaker 1:I'm not saying you're be the next Jesus, but you're never gonna be seen in the potential and light you are capable of in your hometown, with the people who've grown up with you because they see you as the person you were when you were 12, 14, 16, 18. And any change from that, they think, oh, you've changed. Yeah. No shit. Life is changed.
Speaker 1:Nature is changed, and I am changing. Everyone changes over time. So if you let that those people hold you back, they'll never see you in the light anyway. You could conquer the industry around you. You'd be the best person in the world.
Speaker 1:You still go back to hometown. They still we still won't recognize recognize it, but we don't need that. We don't need recognition from those people. And then that matters at the end of the day. In the end of your life, what matters is you did your best and the things you really wanted to do.
Speaker 1:And there are gonna be moments we hold ourselves back, of course. But Dean talks about imposter syndrome stuff like Out with it. Everyone suffers imposter syndrome at some point. Stupid thing. Really is.
Speaker 1:You see the people in government, clueless. Some people are talented, most clueless. If they can go up and think they can run the fucking country and run the world, you can go and do the thing you wanna do. Right? Simple as.
Speaker 1:And I'm gonna do all this week. Today, I'm gonna start off by relooking my goals, looking what I'm doing, and relooking the am I doing things to my full potential? What am I scared of doing? What move am I scared of doing? Oh, that's that's quite a big move.
Speaker 1:Well, it might be big, but why not try and do it? And as I was before I was doing this, before I started decided to take this podcast on Today, I was thinking, what can I do that's, like, really life changing for even a small group of people as big? I was like, the fourteen day master class done via the app's amazing. Imagine a seven day in person boot camp. Right?
Speaker 1:We go through the lessons in the master class, but someone goes like, the beforehand, ask what their favorite foods are. Now I get those favorite foods ready, and it's all scathed for them. And the tasks are like, on the lunchtime day one, I put a plate in front of them all of all of their favorite foods with the smell going in the nose. They go, alright. Sit there.
Speaker 1:Watch your mind. What's it doing? Look. Watch it. Don't impulsely go and eat straight away.
Speaker 1:Let's watch your mind. Let's see what's going on. Like, oh, yeah. Watching it. What are you seeing?
Speaker 1:Yeah. I see. I've seen the change reaction for your memories. I wanna like, then you can have it. Have your favorite food?
Speaker 1:Like, no. I can't. Yeah. You can. Sit down and go, look.
Speaker 1:You have your portion size. That's the macros. And kind of do it in person and all these lessons in person and show what different exercises I walk in and go through these mindset stuff. I of amazing that would be for the people who really need it. So I was thinking now why I could do that, can we?
Speaker 1:These like really really boot camps in person, day and night activities and stuff about the mind and philosophy and training and walking and having a laugh as well, a quiz. So if people drink alcohol, drink alcohol, all this stuff, mix it onto a seven day thing, five day thing. That'd be awesome when I I think that would be I mean, fourteen day masterclass in the app changes lives. But I think doing it in power. I just I just think it could be could could I can do Quite big.
Speaker 1:Big idea. Let's go. What else I gonna say? Heck now. So you need you need to write down and think, what am I doing that I could be doing bigger?
Speaker 1:Not because I'm doing it because I want the prestige reputation, But what is my actual potential? And am I living my potential? Deep down, you know what your talents are. You know what you're really good at. And if you still don't know, you need to try more things.
Speaker 1:But you know deep down what you're good at. Some of you are great communicators, got a lot of empathy. Some of you are strategic. Some of you are planners. Some of you are this and that.
Speaker 1:Figure out what it is and double down on our superpower you have. And, you know, that's that's the best way to to live really, you know. But only maybe bring it back to macros maybe. For the new people listening, I think why have I been given the macros I have in the app? Why is it a certain protein, carbs, and fat?
Speaker 1:Now you do a lot massive questing there. We've got a a world calculation, and most of the time the initial macros is quite bang on. If it's not, we revise the algorithm all the time. Thing is though, every week you check-in and the app will do the work for you. It will tweak your macros for you if it's not right.
Speaker 1:So don't you try and double guess the app. You live your life. Track honestly. You see it as a game. You're in control.
Speaker 1:Track on with stuff. Stop focusing on the 20% that doesn't deliver anything. The 20% of your efforts will bring 80% of your results. This is a scientific phenomenon. Pareto's principle is seen across every industry.
Speaker 1:It's nuts. 20% of the population, 8% of the wealth. 20% of the 20% of effort, 8% results. It's the same with the macros. 20% brings you the 80.
Speaker 1:Hitting your macros, okay, getting your steps in is the 20% that brings you the 80. Most of you are focusing on the other 20%. It doesn't matter. You think of what how many meals a day should I eat? White rice or brown rice?
Speaker 1:Questioning. Questioning. Questioning. Questioning. Human beings are tool makers.
Speaker 1:We build tools to make our lives easier to be more efficient. A human being is ranked in the bottom third of the most efficient animal to travel over a mile. But when you put the human being on a bicycle, it is top of the list by miles. So we make tools to be more efficient and better. So you've got a superpower tool tracking app.
Speaker 1:It's got its own brain to make the changes for you, the mundane check-in date to make sure it's right. So you can go on living your life. You can spend that energy on the human stuff. Numbers can be machine. You know, we've revolutionized that from the start.
Speaker 1:Accountants doing it manually then the computers came out la la la. And you've got automated cloud systems. You know, they're not gonna do the job as back thirty years ago. So why are you? Why are you questioning things and trying to think out?
Speaker 1:Just track your macros. Let the app handle it. Live your life. You've been far more fulfilled that way. Go for walks, exercise, chat to people, do the human stuff.
Speaker 1:Stop focusing on the minor stuff. That is the one of the main lessons you can do. My main main lessons you can learn from Turtle. And see it as a game. It's all fun and games at the end of the day.
Speaker 1:There's track track and stuff. The game doesn't have to be a serious thing where if you go over one day, oh my god, hate myself. I'm stupid. It's net it's date. That's numbers.
Speaker 1:I have a laugh with it. Life needs to be we need to be less. What's the word? We need to be lighter with this stuff because there's a lot of heavy stuff in the world already. We don't need to make the things we do every day heavy like eating, like walking, exercising, how we go about our mindset.
Speaker 1:It needs to be lighter, nicer to ourselves. K? And if we could do that, we'll have better days. And bring some Michael Sheen enthusiasm to your day today. Go for a walk, track your macros, use a superpower tool like the bicycle, and this the mental energy you've gone reserve now from that goes to other stuff, more important stuff.
Speaker 1:And if you do that day in, day out, your life will change, but you have to focus one day at a time as well because that's all we have is today in terms of end you can use is today. I can't go into time debt. I can't reserve time. It is a new twenty four hours every day, and that's all we focus on. And get your one big thing done, get some enthusiasm into that one big thing, get some momentum in, get your steps in, make sure you wake up and you give yourself time.
Speaker 1:Don't go into emails at six, 7AM. Give yourself those few hours in the morning so you go into the day with stillness, right, and like a meditative state, then you'll be able to spot the chain reactions that happen every day. Oh, you smell a nice looking cake or piece of bread and you instantly eat it. But if you've got if you put yourself back a bit, you go, smell that. Smell caused me to desire it for the past because I was pleasurable, now I want it.
Speaker 1:But actually, if I look at this for thirty seconds, it's just a chain reaction that's automated. I can decide to not go over there. But if you don't see that and give yourself the time, you think it's you impulsively acting, can't control it, you can. But you need to be day to day, you need to be more you need to bring some calmness to it even if your days are crazy with kids and stuff. The mornings are even more important to go into the day with stillness.
Speaker 1:Deep breaths. Okay. Awareness. Done. Do know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:Classic. K. One big thing done. And I'll see you on the radio or speak to you later on if you're a gold member. 7PM kick start call.
