Episode Transcript:
Hi everyone welcome back to the podcast today I have a good friend of mine Chad Jenkins now Chad is a prominent business person he is oh what does it say he has bought and Acquired and sold over 50 businesses the reason why I wanted to bring him on the podcast is this guy.
Thinks Beyond thinking if you want to talk about exploring your mind and really seeing the way it works not only that but seeing how it connects to the world he's the guy to listen to We also get deep into his daily routine his what he calls his daily grace and we dive.
Into the mind the body and spirit but most importantly he talks about the way to unlocking the key or getting the key to unlock your purpose in life and he's found that for himself and he's found.
That that's happened in a certain age bracket in your life it's somewhere between eight and 11 but I don't want to share too much more about this podcast but I walked away from it completely energized and fired up about the.
Possibilities after listening to The Thinking Tools that he has and his approach to life he's a fantastic entrepreneur a deep thinker and an incredibly passionate Giver of value to the world so I hope you enjoy the podcast let's go explore Chad welcome to the Viking Academy.
Podcast Eric very excited to be here ready to get into it um you know I was saying just before we started recording that um this isn't going to be your typical business uh podcast you know this is what you and I we've met through.
Strategic coach and we've uh talked a lot about collaborations and um but one of the things that I found incredible when I was talking to you was the amount of thinking you do you're a very deep deep thinker and you're processing the.
Room and you know I did a little bit of homework on you and you've always been someone to look for Value in the world.
So you're always looking and seeing value in the world so I want to dive into a little bit of that and I want to dive into a little bit of how you how do.
You approach your day because that's the other thing talk about too but just for the listener here could you just give me a little just little little quick synopsis of who you are and your journey your entrepreneurial journey and just.
Who you are as a person so we kind of get a framework and then we'll dive into some of the fun stuff okay yeah sure so looking backwards uh in this is consistent with all the entrepreneurs that I engage with today it's it's also.
Kind of a deep study thing I'm on I learned how to create value at the age of eight and the way I was uniquely designed to do so I didn't know it that deeply but uh you talked about looking for Value it's I'm innately wired to see.
What I call the the emergent out of the combination of two or more people places and things so I started doing that and it was from a standpoint of being able to create value uh at 8 I grown up.
Riding horses before I could walk and I would go to horse sales with my dad few times a week I wanted to make money and it was pretty obvious that if a small.
Peanut siiz kid was riding a horse most of the people that were wanting to buy a horse thought that they could ride it too not 100% true all the time but I could convert that value creation.
Perception from the people in the stands to me being on someone else's horse into 10 or $20 to ride people's horse through the sail Barn so at that age I was making two to three hund bucks a week and I thought that was okay which led me.
To my first real estate transaction at 11 years old okay I I read that of course I did a little bit of sleuth you know perplexity is a lovely machine because I just in there and it told me that you bought your first piece of real.
Estate at 11 like yeah what the Yeah well thank you to my dad obviously obviously right you got to have some point in Direction uh so yeah I was way out in South Carolina and looking back I was like wow it's really surprising to me that anyone else would want it but.
Luckily about a year year and a half in somebody did they had purchased a lot beside me and wanted to expand their uh Holdings and I'm made some pretty good money and that just kind of set me on a rhythm of looking at the world.
Differently than what I perceive most people look at at now and I'm always attracted to the emergent which is after you combine two or three two or more things together what can it create so it's a lot of wh ifs and this is why the.
Way you look at the world is so in alignment with the Viking Academy ethos and what I've I've as this Viking Academy is bubbling up and the and it's presenting itself to me in terms of what it wants it to be I always believe that.
There's there's um there's a reason for everything in the universe the universe is intelligent there's an intelligence that's combining and connecting everything but you you see that you're looking at that connectivity and going.
Oh wow I take this and this and put it together with that and that and look at there's the puzzle piece and it's like seeing seeing the hand of the creators and but you're seeing kind of the back scenes and you you can see things that.
People can't that most of us don't see or you see this the interconnectivity and that's completely in alignment with the Viking Academy and so that's awesome as you were see but you have to have.
Curiosity too and this is the other thing is that explore that being an Explorer that's for the Viking Academy members and those listening to the podcast I keep saying you know grab your sword and go explore go explore the mind.
The body and spirit just explore be curious but you picked up on this curiosity and you're unique ability at a very young age like how long did it take how long did you really take for you to.
Realize this was my unique ability like you just said earlier you look back on it and said oh I look back on it now yeah yeah it it it was my wiring but I didn't know it uh so even through many.
Different examples and all the organizations that I started before in right after high school is the same Common Thread and it's continued afterwards even to the last few years when I became like really intentional.
About I wanted to see I say was driven because I was getting chastised it's like how much is enough you keep creating companies and and the companies I created it was never specifically emotionally connection to the company.
Itself it was always emotional connection to the value created and so I began to realize like oh okay the Common Thread said know of course at 8 9 10 12 15 17 19 and I could continue years old.
You don't have any experience in the industry you didn't go to school you you're still going to grade school um so it wasn't like I had this education nor did I have these confines of in this industry we only do it this way and in.
This industry they're going to only pay you this much right which provided me an immense amount of value when I say that what I mean is if I found something and of course the most recent book is properly titled friction fuel so I'm drawn to understand friction I'm.
Naturally Cur ious on how it could be better and I understand certainly now everything is collaboration right we wouldn't be here on this call of a couple people didn't collaborate a long long time ago and today you and I.
Collaborating with zoom and these microphones and local Internet carrier so if that's true what's the limiting factor in this Vision well when we're kids what do we have an immense amount of imagination which AKA could be vision.
And you're not beholden to these confines of societal Norms or labels or conventions that you can or cannot do something so each and every time every organization and now I don't I don't create organizations anymore I create collaborations for entrepreneurs all over the world it's the same exact.
Thing as me understanding kid who can ride capability combined with person want to sell horse place that sells horses and somebody who wants to buy horses right when you combine all those together you get perceived increased amount of value.
And I'm just converting that for return to me which was $10 or $20 to ride those horses Sue sell barns it's the same exact thing take all the equipment that I have on a farm the awareness that banks are buying out Parcels to Future.
Develop brick and mortar locations in a city there's ordinances of the town that you if you own the dirt and it's inside the city limits you must keep it maintained I called it Landscaping it.
Wasn't it was bush hogging is there was a type of bush hog of big clearcut rotary cutters what the conventional term would be but when I combined all those I could drive I had a trailer I had a tractor I needed Fuel and I needed.
My time which I the time I had an abundance of but the conversion on that was 50 60 bucks an hour like that was better than riding those horses so and I had resources all the.
All the students that I was in school with many of them lived on farms they knew how to drive tractors they just they weren I guess they weren't wired up entrepreneurial which I could leverage their resource in combin them with capabilities and the ability to understand that these places had to keep.
These Lots bush hog and I call it Landscape Company it's one of the first organizations as well it's the same thing so you said something there that I think is an incredible way to look at life is that because you didn't have the conditioning the past conditioning you.
Didn't have the constraints on your brain because you were a kid it's like no one you had grown up enough and gone through Corporate America or corporate you know culture to be conditioned into.
Believing that you can't do it this way can't do it that way you just had this you looked at it through childlike eyes not childish eyes but childlike you could see the potential um because you were free from those constraints of all.
The past conditioning and there's been a there's been a continual thread that's been happening on all these podcasts Chad is that I've been noticing that it's this past conditioning that we've had in our lives is once you start.
Recognizing it and Breaking Free from it that's when you start to really open up the aperture of who you are and why you're here I would 100% agree and I would as well I mentioned it just briefly and passing a couple moments.
Ago everyone that I engage with digging beneath the surface and when I say everyone I engage with is entrepreneurs High performing organizations these guys won't and they expect they're want to do more tomorrow than they did yesterday that's their wiring when I track backwards and even.
Some uh corporate folks that I ask questions to as well they tell you what they do today they're missing what I now classify as their unique value contribution the definition for that for me is it is the way that we were created we we were designed uniquely to.
Create value in the world a to 10 years old sometimes 11 I've had a couple between 11 and 12 but it's 8 to 11 years old when you get close back to that and.
You combin it as well at that time think about how big your imagination was when you can get someone back to that place embracing the way that they were designed to create value in this world they tap into unlimited energy I dare say most recently and most publicized on the planet recently until.
What last about a week and a half ago is Trump I travel a good bit you do too I don't jump two or three time zones in a day backwards and forwards in the same day and I present to people and speak to.
People but not 20 or 30,000 two or three times a day and then land back in Florida at in the morning get up and do it again tomorrow that energy that you saw you can't take enough peptides and.
Eat enough good food and have enough doctors and I'm pretty sure that guy doesn't exercise like we do and you see the amount of energy that that's coming from somewhere else and we all have the capability to tap into that like I.
Definitely am living that currently when I mentioned I now create collaborations for my collab Partners all across the world it I go home with more energy than I wake up with and I wake up with a lot.
Uh it's because I understand how I was designed to create value in the world is to Leverage The Vision that I have with others on the planet that have cap abilities but they can't see the potential future and they certainly.
Can't see the potential future with consideration of collaborating with somebody else who is literally looking for them so it gives me more energy than it takes and I want that for other people three things that pop into my head here first one is unique ability which is what we're talking about I did.
A podcast with Julia Waller on this you know we're fully steeped into that once you're in your unique ability it feeds you more energy than what you're expending on it and you're definitely that Groove but you mentioned that um.
Between 8 and 11 is when that was when who you are and what you are here to uniquely contribute to the world that's when it kind of it shows it shows itself there so that's curious because I it's.
The way in which you did your paper route it's so I love and obviously unique ability is a foundational requirement all entrepreneurs I would strongly suggest strongly suggest go do it the practical application of your unique ability is what I classify as.
Your unique value contribution so the individual pieces of view that Miss Julia is an absolute Savant at seeing how they come together to create the words that describe your unique ability when those come together.
And are applied That's Unique value contribution it's the secret source of you of how you execute what you can do that's where you get the most amount of energy right you saw it in 8 to 11 yes for the.
Listener there just think back to when you were eight between 8 and 11 and go what fed my energy what was I excited about back then and can I recapture that and I'm finding that for myself now.
Because with the Viking Academy and I've been sharing that with you I'm getting more energy now doing this Viking Academy than I've ever had before and I've always been this playful performer yeah you know Reach Out have conversation I I get a dopamine head every time I see.
Connections and that you've talked about that seeing the the way the connectivity of everything kind of comes together and for me it's that that childlike awe and wonder and wow I'm curious I want to go.
Explore this like what is out there like what's going on here like what is this world that we're in like I'm I'm so a struck by it all but it seems as though it's again buried with these conditionings of where.
It was did you ever have those conditionings on you or do you feel like you've been living your 8-year-old self your entire life and a a muted but yes so the answer to your first question is absolutely but until I became very intentional Look Backwards aware to see.
The pattern so you mentioned it earlier um it's now giving you more energy and you you commented to the listeners to look backwards to that time period 8 to 11 years old what I would encourage you to do is look at the common thread and.
If you would like a shortcut uh it's the way that you do what you do but you are guaranteed giving it away for free today like any invoice that your company is sending out it says the conventional things that if I went down the road to a plumber litigation attorney or Insurance they're.
Going to have the same type of invoice so you're giving bring it away for free today you could ask the top five folks that you are serving they would be able to help you tell like why.
You buy what you buy from me and that they were going to give you that secret sauce and you can track that all the way back to around 8 to 10 years old you might have applied it selling Girl Scout cookies you may have done it because you.
Were helping out at church it was the way in which you were creating value and it's it's shown up in everything you've done through all the different jobs that you've had it's been this undercurrent and tone of value creation that you.
Uniquely bring to whatever you do now where we sit today in the current do that little bit of work the next stage just give it a name now it has an identity just like the first job that God gave adam in the Bible name the animals name the.
Plants so once you give it a name you can unsee that and it will begin to cause what I classify as a trajectory pivot is your own this trajectory we all are things that you're hearing today on.
The podcast if you do this little bit of work yeah guarantee you would to cause a trajectory pivot in your life and one that as we talked about already gives you more energy than it takes that's quite.
Rewarding my brain's exploding right now with all sorts of thoughts and ideas I'm trying to keep myself in alignment here but uh so the unique value creation and that's what you're uniquely contribution contribution your unique value contribution contribution that's my contribution to the unfolding of of the.
Material unfolding of the universe it's the whole thing it's the whole that's where the energy comes from right it trly is my contribution back to the reason I was sent here for this time period to the whole that's where the the.
The most natural energy comes from and it's not because you're eating working out I do all those things co- plunging SAA every day peptides vitamins nutrients supplements this is way bigger than that this is and this is like referring.
Back to when people talk about being in the Flow State you know talk about being in a flow State and then it's flowing and it's easy you're you're comfortable in your shoes it's the one person I know like you're so incredibly comfortable in.
Your shoes MH you're so comfortable in your shoes you're not worried about yourself you're looking out at the world going what does it need from me today mhh and now I know how I can create that.
Value any room any place whether and I have visions of this in the future of creating collaborations between states right is it country states you fill in the blank the answer is yes right ultimately everyone in the.
Room wants an outcome and collectively when you combine them together you can help create that outcome so really I would argue that all of these connections already exist I just have the ability to shot a light on them right so that you see the the the.
Blueprint of the Creator you can see it there we just haven't brought all the materials together and started building it and agreed that this is what we want to build together and bringing all those collaborations together um the concept.
Of collaboration that we're talking about here when it comes to business is taking two individuals that have a unique value contribution another person with a unique value contribution you put the two together and you have this magic new thing that you've created yes the concept of collaboration and I've talked.
To many people about this the entire planet is one big collaboration the trees everywhere every time every has been a collaboration yeah so the only thing that's holding us back Vision you mentioned childlike earlier get back to that yeah because truly whatever you can.
Dream up sitting here what whatever you can dream up there's someone sitting on a podcast or sitting on a zoom session with the capability to help you create that and they're they're literally at this moment because there's eight billion people on the planet saying man.
If I could just find somebody who had an idea of how to use my skill set and if they just get out of the way I could just go create it for them I'd even I wouldn't even charge them anything I'd split the outcome with them and when you.
Talk for me and I've studied so much on collaboration and and now designed a lot uh with a lot of intellectual property around collaboration the splitting of the outcome and every a preck everyone engaged has to win or it is not a.
Collaboration it's just not so you have to come to it come to it very authentically and with a focus on creating the value new value out of you just be you in the scenario that you talked about two people who have found their unique value.
Contribution if they just be who they are but you combine them this is what happens something new that exists above them that's magic and we all have the capability just be you but be open-minded how can you combine you with.
Something else and create something new but that's what the entire planet is doing on a daily basis all the time like I say the trees are sitting there collaborating with us we are in complete collaboration with trees and someone's.
Like what are you talking about I said I'm breathing in oxygen breathing out H2O the trees are breathing in H2O and breathing out oxygen like or CO2 sorry not H2 let's go close get lost but you.
Know what I mean you know there's aoll a little bit of water you were drinking I got thrown off by you drinking in some water so there you go but it's we're collaborating always on that basis like it's everywhere and and how intentional.
Are we being about it how intentional and so that's the thing is you are going you see the unfolding of the collaboration everywhere everywhere but you're seeing more importantly where it is potentially available that is not happening right now between two existing.
People places and things yes yeah collaboration is the unique value that is created by it's the I call it the emergent right it's the unique emergent that happens when you combine two or more people places and things and for.
Anybody listening Look Backwards how do you get to where you are now only through collaboration so I want to take us down a little deeper down a rabbit hole here oh yeah absolutely.
So I know you're very you're a very spiritual man you're very connected you have a routine that I want to eventually.
Uh talk about as well and I want to understand a little bit more about how you do how you approach your day I want to do that a little bit later but on this topic of the Creator created the Earth and create everything yes and.
All these collaborations are happening but wasn't it and I'm probably going to bastardize this I'm sorry if I'm saying it wrong but didn't say ye are ye are Gods to Sons of the most high like basically saying that we are we are a piece of God and we are also creators you're actually.
When you're bringing together all these collaborations of people together you are acting as the Creator you are you're an extension of the Creator's creation by creating connections and with collaboration so you're actually doing the work of the Creator well I would yes to this to what you just said absolutely you will hear.
Me say everything that you ever hear from me is coming through me it's not coming from me not at all this daily routine that you mentioned earlier I just receive all all the time every day I cannot wait to go to bed this evening.
Because I know what's going to happen tomorrow morning starting around in the morning tell me Tell the listeners about your your routine yeah sure so it's and I've classified it right so it's important for me to name with intentionality everything so my morning my daily routine is is literally called daily.
Grace it'll begin with gratitude eyes closed the second that you become conscious teally about six months at least in my personal experience to get there especially when you grow up on a.
Farm and when you become conscious your butt up we have ballar fence to put up or push hog a pasture fill in the blank and anything um so that took a little bit to get out of that normal routine of feet Hit the Floor after eyes are.
Open but keep your eyes closed this is what really works for me and I began with gratitude because if we all have so much to be thankful for right our perception of everything is created internally not externally externally it.
Just is we control how we perceive it so starting out to condition yourself to look at the world a little bit differently thank you first few words every day that.
You're given first thing I say in the morning when I wake up I say thank you I always say thank you I woke up on the right side of the grass and I go okay now what do you want me to do today yeah yeah guide guide my thinking guide my.
Thinking I may do thy will yeah after that uh I leverage I want to leverage Theta brain wave state as long as I can so I I on YouTube you can find these.
Things for free I suppose I pay for you to it's the best $20 investment that I do uh I have a curated amount 432 megahertz is awesome all the way up to 900 to 1100 which is different frequencies but I would strongly suggest 430 anywhere around the 3 360 to 430.
That's going to keep you in Theta brain waves so you're slightly hypnotic the door to your subconscious and your conscious is completely not completely but it's pretty much wide open and now you're in control to drop little seeds into your subconscious to empower you to make those show up and become reality so.
I'm as as well when you're in that particular state which we all are right before you go to bed tonight you're in that state and when you wake up tomorrow morning you're in that state it's just the only difference in your routine and mine is I'm being very intentional about.
Leveraging that state and mapping out the day in which I want and I'm asking a couple questions starting actually the night before that I like to receive the answers for during that time and that's typically going to take me from to 5: and then at fiveish I go to the.
Gym and I complete this little process that I have coined PSA so we're all huge fans of Dan Sullivan you mentioned strategic coach earlier so dolls dangers opportunities and strengths a hand wrad in a journal for many years and I continue to recognize a.
Consistent pattern I'm a big action guy like I like I like to understand things and then what are we going to do about it so over time and just through awareness and observation I would recognize the pattern in which I would write things first I like to start on a positive note.
So potential whether it be negative or positive for me is a is a place in which I like to start from and then after that I challenged myself to write whatever I wrote if it was a negative potential I challenge myself to have to rewrite it.
Where it would be a positive and then the strength portion I mentioned PSA not Public Service Announcement it's actually potential strengths and the last one of course would be actions if you're anywhere around close to me so the strengths lead you to a place of collaboration do I possess the.
Strength to make this potential become a reality today if I do not who do I know that does and if I do not that's what I'm looking for so you can see the progression potential positive or negative it doesn't matter.
What's going to come to you most most likely what's going to come to you first is the negative now keep in mind that daily sequence thank you be quiet meditate leveraging data brain waves and listen because if you're listening you're going to hear and this is on YouTube Sorry on.
YouTube this sta this is like a track just an audio track that you just listen in the background yeah okay yeah just data and you can see headset almost 24 hours a day you wake up every morning find it because I listen to books on the.
Way to bed uh so I find it at the morning stick it back in or I have another one beside the bed just in case stick it in turn your phone sideways so the light doesn't blind you type in your code because you know the code backwards.
Likely have muscle memory on it YouTube's in a specific Place click it knows what time of day it is it's going to have your Theta brain waves at the top thank you for algorithms and AI press the button turn your phone upside.
Down and listen focus on your breathing whatever your routine is to get to the place in which you are centered now I mentioned the two questions that I write down before I go to bed the night before a lot of times those answers show up then after that just before or on my.
Way to the gym I'll focus on doing my PSA potential strengths and actions and after the awareness of is this potential something that I have the strength to create the reality or do I need someone in collaboration what action am I going to take it's a really simple routine and.
Then of course I do the normal couple hours at the gym which includes 30 minutes of sauna that's another time for meditation steam shower cold shower out the door it's a great way to wake up seven days a week you're doing this seven days a week very consistent yeah no better where I'm.
On the planet now the gym portion you know I might have to run around a neighborhood in Manhattan or something like that but yeah it's I am out with my routine the very first part the things that let me get.
Centered that there is no back seies and no pivoting on the The Daily gratitude and the grace routine is what just really provides me tons of value Daily Grace which I don't know if i s told you what Grace stands for uh gratitude reflection awareness creation engagement so you're teeing yourself up.
To be present and aware ask yourself big questions on potentials hopefully your thinking has gotten real big if you're listen to some podcast that you force yourself to understand that collaboration is the.
Only way and then the engagement is what action you're going to take take who are you going to engage with to create this reality Rin repeat you're ready to go and from there that was fantastic.
Thank you so much I I hope the listeners got a pen and paper and they're writing that down if not listen to the podcast again I find listening to podcast multiple times is the only way that I get the True Value out of them yeah the.
More nuggets they're the more nuggets you get out of it um they and then you said and what spurred us on to this conversation was you mentioning that nothing you everything that comes out of your mouth isn't from you you are channeling it it is coming through you yeah I'm just a.
Conduit yeah yeah have to be present aware to be that conduit and to be present and aware and so this present present awareness you mean daily grace is that what you mean or no yeah you're going through daily grace and that cleans shall we call it sets you clears a.
Channel for you to connect with the higher power so then you become the channel as you're through the day got you've so you've done your work to clear the channel and then throughout the day you're saying you are now channeling the information that's coming from the Creator through.
You yes sir that's correct I'm a conduit yeah that is almost analogous completely to the AA program Alcoholic Anonymous the whole purpose of alcoholic um because I'm recovering or recovered alcoholic so I practice the 12 steps and the whole purpose of the 12 Steps in AA is to clear a channel to a.
Higher power so that you can do the will of the Creator and so that's the whole previs of a and then when you focus on that God couldn't would he or sought is one of the lines that we have whatever your.
Conception of God is and that's the other thing that I really love about AA they don't have a label you know even though we talk about labels it's whatever your conception is of a higher power it can't yes it will and she will.
She can and will if you seek her or him or whatever you call it but it's it's I'm seeing the similarity with what you have you have your daily grace which is your work to clear that channel and your.
Thinking so that you can become that conduit throughout the day yes you know coupled with the physical going to the gym and clearing your mind so you're working on your Bo mind body and spirit every day so that can come to the world completely present and and contribute your unique.
Value contribution yes yes I have to do my part my part is to help others see what exist they just don't see it and help them understand the emergent of combining their uniqueness with someone else's uniqueness whether it be their organization uh their passion or their.
Abilities um I'm a I'm a big um VCR formula that was created by a good friend of ours Dean Jackson um and he he he says V plus c times R so your Vision Plus someone else's capabilities multiply dimes times someone else's.
Reach equals success and I would I we have great conversations now and and he's definitely leaning this way but vision is the Catalyst it's big V multipli times c multipli times R because nothing starts without the idea without the concept say oh it's all about the execution you know what.
Everybody's executing on right somebody else's vision and there's multiple layers of vision I'm not talking about ideas right so ideas of course are a fragment of vision someone who can see the potential paths and then someone who can see those paths but knows the route.
Just like a Google Maps great right you can have you can have an idea that's great uh but there's a lot more work to do can you see ways to create that idea and now do you know what's required to.
Create that reality this is true Vision what I love about the way you're living your life the way you're expressing yourself is that you are encompassing the mind the body and the spirit all together which is then combining you which gave you that key to unlock the portal to your purpose in.
Life like that's that's the that's the Viking Academy ethos it's like when you explore these three and more importantly what you're saying is you it's the action you take on them that's it's the action yes it's the action you take on it because nothing happens until something moves like nothing happens.
Until something moves until action happens but as you're doing that you found your your your purpose in life and it's filled with purpose and passion I see that with you every time we start talking your eyes light up and you're glowing and you're happy and you're.
Present and you know that's what I want for the Vikings Academy members and all our listeners be able to go there and and I believe this and I to my core that every single human being on the planet is here for a reason yes your work is to.
Figure out what that is and to go do it and once you start doing it your life explodes and like you said this massive transformation but the work that you're doing is on the mind the body and the.
Spirit yes yes absolutely yep trying to Chisel to that place where I know how I was designed to contribute value Creation in the world you get all those in alignment it's a different energy that you receive and you want more of it every day and you then become the passenger so.
To speak of this vessel known as you know ch right you're the you're the ve you're you're you're going along for the ride almost even though you're doing you're taking action but you're going.
Along for the ride there's there's a and I think that's where that flow State comes into too is that you're not you're you're fully engaged you're fully passionate but you're not attached to anything that's correct yeah there's a magnetization that happens which is kind.
Of a that's another level of unique value contribution when you get in that particular Zone that I'm just continuing to Fair it out to put words to I can see it and feel it but enabling others to understand it and I'll try to do just a.
Little brief in climp into it when you begin to operate at that level and one would say you've heard this when you begin to vibrate at this frequency with consistency others that are also vibrating at frequency are absolutely attracted to you whenever you're introduced to them.
You will feel it before you're even aware of it your body will feel it it's super awesome because you I think it happens on a cular level to be honest with you well I noticed that the first.
Time you and I were in a workshop together like I saw you and we talked and we kind of looked each other and you said hey we should we should have a chat like I knew that we should have a chat and that we would would have that that's that law.
Of attraction right that law of attraction which is the energy vibration because we're all energy vibrating every bit right every bit every bit here's the question for you so in your morning Grace So in your day sorry your daily grace your daily grace you.
You receive some of those answers to the questions you put in the night before put you're putting in the two questions and two question the night before and you receive some of those and um in the morning during your daily grace then as you're going throughout the day are you're also I'm assuming.
You're looking around and going okay where where is the ma where is the creator going to show me the other parts of the the the puzzle that I'm missing or or how does how do you operate throughout the day yes so I appreciate.
That um under the concept of many things that I've shared here collaboration is absolutely everything what is what is the Catalyst vision is the Catalyst a couple this has been last.
Week and I hasn't hit the Press so to speak yet I shared it with some of my collab Partners last week on The Forum but it's Vision Catalyst multiplier and there's an underlining formula that I've received I guess I.
Became extremely aware of and it is everyone who's listening to this podcast and everyone who woke up this morning there's one thing they're going to do all day long collect you're going to collect relationships awarenesses maybe learning or observing.
You're going to collect that you can't help but do that that's just the way it is if you can begin to shift your mindset into great this is something new and this is I'm giving you glimpse of.
The way my brain works you as the how so with the awareness that we all collect every day today you got up and you had conversations you took trips you might have read something you might have studied for a test you collected how can.
I this is a constant program running internally me how can I take what I now know and combine it with what I knew inevitably you will constantly create you cannot help but collect.
That's a default you don't need to take any action or effort that just happens because you're in motion and movement so you're going to collect I'm going to say it again relationships knowledge awarenesses or just simple.
Observations that happen happens if you will train yourself to say now that I've collected this how can I combine it with something that I already knew someone that I already knew somewhere that I have already been the what will happen naturally is you will create and all you're really.
Doing is leveraging the art of collaboration taking all the new inputs that you have and combining them so I called it C3 you're going to collect I encourage you to combine the result will be creation and it's just a very simple method I feel like anyone can do because.
They can't help the first part it happens the intentionality is around the second and the third is a result of rinse and repeat and see what happens so I'm trying to parse this out the differentiation between seeking the will of the Creator say we.
Seeking the will of God and looking for that everywhere you're actually and and and sorry if I'm putting words in your mouth but you correct me if I'm wrong you're the act of you naturally collecting all of the manifestation that's out in front of you and the conscious com combining of that.
Collection with your past experience and what you're bringing in today naturally creates new things you're actually doing the work of the Creator as opposed to looking always for oh what is the creator want from me you're like it's right in front of you you're doing it right now instead of looking for shall.
We say looking for God you're doing the work of the Creator how many times have you look for something so hard you're looking for this answer you're seeking this answer and then you find it where is it typically right about that close to your.
Face all I did was say hey I think I'm recognizing a pattern here how can I Empower somebody else with this awareness so that they can leap frog this hours and hours of intentionality to try to pick up on little subtleties that are screaming at me and it's oh I.
Get it we all collect every day what we're missing is the opportunity to combine it with what we already know now this does happen with some natural tendencies of humans what I'm encouraging to do is tomorrow be a little bit more intentional about it Watch What Happens you will create why.
Because your experiences are yours when you were created uniquely designed and sent here to create value in the world all you're doing is connecting the dots and the inevitability is you will create and when you create share remember the daily grace routine gratitude reflection.
Awareness creation and engagement so whatever you create share because then you're completing the cycle what I share with you as I have just done you have collected today combine it with what you already know who you know or where you've been and see what's created and then after.
Share that's it super simple I had an Insight here to what you're doing and I'm going to see if I can articulate it sure you're bringing awareness to the innate ability for each one of us to create like the creator creates yes sir like you see it clearly.
Like you said when you can't you're looking you're trying to find I'm trying to find it and it's like it's stuck to your nose it's right there it's right in front you're looking for the answer yeah your key mean your keys but I am being like.
You're searching for something deep and when you find it you're like damn it it was right here yeah it was right there but what you're showing us what you're showing people what your what Your unique value contribution contribution yes what your unique unique value contribution is showing people.
That Grace that's inside them that's you already have like we already have it it's like you're you're absolutely you're moving the obstacles out of the way for people to see that they have the answers in front of them.
They have so much the answers in front of them but the way that you are the way we are being instead of humans doing or human the way you are being as a human is naturally doing this 3C formula which.
Is creation and it's yes you're being a Creator you're being this is the extension of God that you are you're you're you're being God and you don't even know it and most of it don't we.
Don't even know it that we're doing it we have no idea no idea so natural to us we actually fight it right societal Norms conventions the conventions that we all operate inside of business which is well foundationally it just it drives me crazy we have so many more capabilities.
Think tomorrow 8 to 81 8.1 billion people woke up and they're trying to take what they collect in a day and combine it with what they already know and they're going to share it with you and you're doing the same man we're teleporting around the Universe I mean there's cancer has.
Been cured a long time ago but we don't why because we think that we are this defined label of the letters after our name and the pedigree that we got from a college education and it's like no no no no no that's not what makes you unique.
It's the way in which you apply what you are uniquely designed to do that's what makes you unique and if you want to get really excited combine it with somebody else's for the intent to create value in the world gets quite exciting all the.
Time the first time I started to understand what the unique ability is and unique ability teamwork that's Concepts that we learn in strategic coach I started to get this oh this excitement that was like oh wait a.
Second I'm here for a purpose I'm and the thing that I love to do is the thing that I need to be doing because that's what the entire collaboration needs now I need to go find these other collaborators that have those unique those unique value contributions.
Take my unique value contribution put the two together and then it makes this amazing thing but we're doing it all the time but we're not doing it consciously you mentioned something like being intentional and being very intentionally and intentionally creating and you you mentioned something at the beginning of.
This thread of the daily grace but you said naming it is so important you expand on why naming it is so important and you did tie it into the one of the biblical stories in the beginning but I.
Want I want to kind of tie that one up into a bit of a bow too because that one to me I it's like when I'm listening to.
You talk sometimes I go oh oh and I get it and then all of a sudden it's gone I'm like damn it like you know when you almost have that connect that that dopamine hit like oh it's I got and it's.
Gone I was almost there with the with the naming convention so I want to Reit that okay so the the naming the intentional intentionality around naming is is the process in which I created but it's only based upon the.
Awareness that I had and you mentioned the biblical reference earlier it's the first job that God gave adam in the Bible name the animals and the plants did they exist before does does nature exist or is that a name that we gave it and defined what we think it is and what.
About climate right so and I reference a lot of time and the tool then I I do give this tool away for free to the entire world it's on our seeds spark.com website is named the baby and it was from awareness at home if we both had a baby and we didn't name.
It whose would it be they look aik alike when they're young like we would never do that yours if it had more hair I would say it's yours obviously so if anytime you bring that.
Up in conversation F say of course we of course we named all of our children why would we not do that it's like yeah but how much do you do that in your business because is it true the way in which you do you're kind of emotional.
About youve put some intention around it the way you deliver your product or service is the way you deliver your product or service when you give it a name you Empower your team and also the clients that you serve to be an ambassador for you if I showed.
Up and said hey I performed this service and I didn't give you a name but I said it's going to do this this this this this this this this this this this this this for you how many of those this this this are you going to remember a couple.
Of them maybe maybe so whenever you go to try to be an ambassador for me because I did deliver all that and you were very excited but I didn't give it a.
Name and you're going to give it to somebody else that's listen to this podcast you're going to try to Rattle off to two or three or four or five things that you remember but if I don't give you an anchor to associate that with I don't Empower.
You to be an ambassador for me so in your business I believe naming it's part of your intellectual property right but when you do it here's the result that it provides and empowers others to be an ambassador for you because you're associating it to the outcome or the.
Experience that they're going to have so this naming tool and I tried to Divine Design it extremely simple if you can put yourself into those shoes of those that you're serving and of course we'll use Mr Dan's language your hero Target you I would argue every.
Business has three hero targets so I love the language it's absolutely perfect your team those you serve your clients and your vendors and suppliers right if you can put yourself in their shoes and you would ask yourself when.
You deliver that product or service if you were the recipient of it how would you describe what words would you describe to talk about the outcome and simply listing those down on.
A whiteboard or a white sheet of paper one line down the center when you get eight and and best I can tell six to 12 words descriptive words around again how you're hero Target would describe the.
Outcome what did they feel most importantly use those words put those words down and then you simply grade those words one to five now number five if I were that hero Target and I heard that word around the product or service.
They had just received I would lean in because I want that outcome as well so the fours and fives you move on the right side of the Whiteboard or the white piece of paper and then you make like a butcher you're going to trim a little bit of letters here and trim a.
Little letters there and take two of those words not sacrificing the meaning when you hear the two words you can't take away too many of the letters smash them together you will feel it when you.
Have the right name then not only you're going to feel it if you positioned yourself as those that you serve and you took intention around the words that you wrote down graded them based upon the emotion that they invoke and now you've.
Created a new word I may strongly encourage you to go register that domain name because it's probably available and now you've separated yourself from the entire planet of being able to deliver that product or service that is very.
Conventionally known in your industry but now you call it something different and you're the only one on the planet they can deliver it and you've got intellectual property around it so why would we not name those babies so this is and that incredibly.
Powerful when it comes to the business um application of naming on the other side you named your daily routine you named it daily grace and you tied it in with the biblical story and that's in that I want to kind of dive into that.
Part like the naming process and what your thoughts are around business aside naming something and because you remember your daily grace and you it's a like I could see already like every morning I do my daily grace as opposed to I do my Morning Routine Morning.
Routine has me I listen to this is you know what's your routin what's your daily what's your spiritual practice what's your routine what's your workout schedule like there's no memorability to.
It but your daily grace like instantly I'm going oh yeah well that's what Chad does he does his daily grace and I and I can remember it now it's burned into my brain yes sir yes it's anchoring and so it anchors into the brain for myself and.
For others yes and so what do you think this may be too much of a question to be asking but I'm really I'm I'm really interested in your thoughts because I know you about it why did God tell him to name the animals and the plants there's a message in there.
There's a meta understanding and this like the podcast I just did with Don Bon he goes into the messaging of the biblical stories on on what it actually the extraction of the meaning Peterson does an amazing job of that too he's.
Really doing some deep dives into that area yes he has which is what is the why why do you feel or think that that naming something has so much power and how it because it touches the emotional.
Side of your brain the limic part of your brain when I talked about naming it in the business aspect it's around touching the emotions of a human why do humans move two reasons fear greed I'm either gonna lose something or I want something yeah that takes forward.
Action so if you can you leverage that in the naming it enables you to empower yourself with anchoring it inside tying it to an emotion based upon some potential perceived outcome and it.
Improves the probability of you having consistency to execute that is it what it is for me now of course going down and associating a name for each one of the letters with a lot of intentionality and in sequencing that's very specific.
Uh the names are and the sequence of the names are very specific to create the outcome to me it's it's it's all math um and it helps me with the anchoring is the name the intentionality around the the actual words that are used that also.
Touch the limit part of the brain but are in sequence to create this overall outcome which greatly increases the value for the time invested that's going to take me a bit to digest you touch you went into the mathematics the spiritual the mathematical the emotional again this is why I really.
Wanted to have this conversation with you because I could like the thinking that you have and how it comes together and and and another thing for the listener here it's not just hearing it once and having it done the more you listen to something over and over again.
You learn more you create it together and if we think about the 3C formula that Chad just shared with us because you are collecting the new information every time you every time you read or.
Listen to the same thing that you've listened before you're collecting it but you're combining it with your past experience and your understanding so you're creating something new so that's why when you read some books like I'll.
Read it and go when did they put that in there like influence it's like you're familiar with it yes no what what was that again oh influence by Robert chalini I think it was in the 1984 yeah yes yes I do consistently read it and.
Every time I do I'm collecting yeah I'm intentional around combining and I create something new every time and every time you read it you're like when did they put that in there that's.
Right yeah how did I not see that correlation yeah and and so there's this this correlation as well and I have a thought as well is that as you're reading a book so you read it the first time the second time you read it you're.
Actually a different person when you read it the second time absolutely because you are and the reason why you're seeing different things is because you are a different person you're seeing different things you're actually that's where you collect different things from it so yes sir changing right there you go yeah yes.
That is inevitable you are constantly changing the intentionality of how you collect and combine dictates what you create we all have the same capabilities and we're actually doing it all the time but you're saying put intentionality behind it yes sir yeah.
And when you put intentionality behind behind it I think coupled with the daily grace which is clearing the channel to the universe you're clearing the channel to the universe saying I want to talk to you I want to connect with you I want to connect with my theta waves your brain.
And spiritual and then go work out of the gym afterwards and then throughout the day you're now a channel and realizing and seeing it being more intentional you naturally are bidding into the whole picture of the universe.
And doing it with Grace and ease and that's why I every time I see you you seem so calm relaxed joyful and and generous with everything that you do like like you're so generous and the.
Amount of value you create in the world is I see it so Crystal Clear it's so crystal clear to me it's like who you are is yelling so loud I can't hear a word you're saying yeah either that or I can't understand the words you're saying.
Because really you say some stuff sometimes and I have to sit there and go whoa like I got I got yeah but I'm getting it now more I'm understanding it more I'm going to listen to this podcast multiple times I know that for a.
Fact yeah col you know the ability to now giving you the C3 this the 3C formula C3 formula sorry yeah if you tie it to okay now that I am I've created something who can it help Give It Away give it all away Watch.
What Happens give it all away yes because and there there goes that ties back into the St Francis of AI prayer I believe that that's in there you know it's by it's by loving that you're loved by being caring that you.
Get cared for it's by dying that one awakens to eternal life and again I'm not quoting it quite correctly but it's the gist of that it's when you give when you give you re receive absolutely yeah.
Yeah you're collecting yeah they're going to give you some type of feedback Insight just more more resources to then combine that eventually in result in creation and it's this endless cycle what if again I asked the question earlier what if the whole planet operated that particular way where would be.
Be and that's what I'm hoping the Viking Academy will be part of that Awakening MH is another Etho the underlying ethos here for me is uh to become more of like a new Earth school so Awakening to our past conditioning so we can see who we've always been how we can be.
Intentional about and you've just put that You' you've really framed it and made me understand it even more that this we are all creators all creating all the time it's just are you being intentional with it because when you are intentional with it then amazing.
Things happen absolutely big time I'm excited for everyone who's listening I'm so am I thank you so much for being on the podcast dude this is Fant remember it's a two-way street so thank you as well this was a fantastic collaboration thanks for listening to the Viking Academy podcast make sure to.
