Chapter 2: How can we break free from false narratives?
Buddhism and there's Islam and all these other things. And for me, there's a Bible verse and it reminds me of this. Jesus says, you'll recognize them by the fruit in their lives. By their fruit, you'll recognize them. If somebody has good, beautiful fruit, like a Mother Teresa or a Martin Luther King Jr. or a William Wilberforce or these people that changed the world for good,
What is it that they believe? What was their religion? What was their spiritual belief? Okay. The people that have the best fruit in their lives, I'm going to follow them. John, there's a lot of marriage coaches and counselors out there. And I remember one of them and they'd been divorced five times. Now, sometimes we can learn things from a divorce, right?
And some there's great counselors that have been remarried and now have a great marriage and they learn from the first time, but somebody that's been through five and still struggling in the middle and then giving someone else relationship advice. It's a similar thing with health.
Have you ever seen the pictures of some of the people running the health of the United States and then some of the other countries who are running the Department of Health versus you look at someone like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in his 70s, ripped and shredded and very healthy, very mentally sharp. And it's like, okay, who am I going to listen to? The best person to listen to and the best person to
create your beliefs around are the people that have the greatest fruit in their life in this specific area that we're looking to model. Same thing. It's if you and I are learning how to do better shows, like to educate and help inspire people, it's like, are we going to be spending time studying again?
It's probably going to be Joe Rogan and I don't know, Jordan Peterson and other people that have good shows versus somebody who's never done it before. So I think it's important. And a lot of this goes back to modeling. Like I have learned the most in my life from humbly modeling other people that are ahead of where I currently am.
think that's a such an important mentorship tidbit that you just gave even in my own career when i was looking for mentors i was always looking for a mentor who was at a place that i wanted to be two to three steps ahead of where i was now because i wanted to learn the shorter path to get there and the mistakes that they made that i could avoid and i think it's such an important thing that you bring up and yet we tend to look
just across the horizon instead of longer term in who we want to become. And I want to go in a little bit different direction, Josh, because when I think about historical figures, and I've heard you talk about this person before, a person who I've always admired was Michelangelo. And I think back about being in his shoes when he's asked to paint the 16th chapel and
He's not even known as a painter. He's a sculptor. And he gets this edict from the Pope. And his first inclination is, there's no way in heck I'm going to do that. And if my history is correct, he then escapes from the Vatican to get out of it. And then does some soul searching and it brings them back. But I know that, I know Michelangelo is a person who you cite as well.

Chapter 3: What are the 12 mind shifts for transformation?
But in those times, it's when we're typically the least self-aware as well when you're numbing yourself. And so with someone like you, I think that now maybe you're at a point in your life now where you probably have, from what I perceive, maybe more purpose and meaning than you've ever had. Again, you're having such a great impact on so many lives and so many people.
And you've heard this before, because you've probably read some Tony Robbins, too. He talks about this. Now, this goes way back to the Bible. I think it talks about this generally in the Old Testament. But We make decisions for two reasons, pain and pleasure, right? If we can get enough pleasure from something good in our life, then that's the best way to go.
But sometimes we make decisions to avoid pain. And so I think certain things could be drinking other things. Maybe we're doing that to avoid certain types of pain. But when it comes to connection, obviously the more you are clear of mind, right? Probably the deeper you can connect with somebody or have a real connection to. So I think there's a lot.
I think there's a lot to that conversation, a lot to that idea. And by the way, culturally, we're seeing this a lot with Gen Zers as well. There are more people now giving up things like alcohol than I think maybe what was happening 10, 20 years ago.
I'll tell you the thing I've realized is just how much it is a social norm to drink. I mean, I remember being like two months into it and going into restaurants and observing everyone around me and every single adult is drinking and it becomes such a norm. That's what makes it so different when you see someone not do it.
But for me, the benefits of not drinking have been so tremendous that it's created a completely different value system for me in who I want in my life, who I don't, and where I'm willing to spend time and how much time I was wasting before when I was drinking.
John, it's so powerful. I'm thinking back. So when I was in college, okay, I drank a pretty good amount with the guys there. I was in a fraternity, which going back, I never would have joined. But again, you learn. So I did it my first couple of years. I drank fairly heavily my freshman and sophomore year. And then I got to a point where I just felt really empty.
I thought none of my relationships were meaningful. I felt like I did have really meaningful relationships in high school. And I just prayed to God and said, God, I need you. And I ended up starting to really pursue God in my life, find my unique gifts and talents, my purpose. All of that in my life seemed to be more full. However, I did have some of the same friend group.
And every time, every social gathering was alcohol. That was at the center. And I'd find myself drinking and then not feeling good the next day or not being as productive or still not having those meaningful relationships. And I realized I needed to find a completely different social group.
