I grew up at a kitchen table where my dad and mom sat down and they talked about winning. They talked about losing. They talked about the markets. They talked about marketing. They talked about money. They talked about, there was no doors in our house. There was no, okay, we're gonna now family. There's no such thing, life balance, seamless living. So your kids can feel your obsession.

They talked about money. They talked about, there was no doors in our house. There was no, okay, we're gonna now family. There's no such thing, life balance, seamless living. So your kids can feel your obsession.

Your wife can feel your obsession. And I tell my guys when they come to me looking for life balance, I'm like, you don't need life balance. You need to become a man on a mission where there's no longer any doors in your life. There's no work life. There's no personal life. It's just all one life.

Your wife can feel your obsession. And I tell my guys when they come to me looking for life balance, I'm like, you don't need life balance. You need to become a man on a mission where there's no longer any doors in your life. There's no work life. There's no personal life. It's just all one life.

And that's building your badass world where you build your business around your life, not your life around your business. But you can smell obsession and you can smell a man or woman who's on a mission.

can engage in this and we are such a blessing to be put here I just don't get it it boggles my mind well it goes back to mission like you anybody that comes to me or you Ryan who has a problem with alcohol a problem with drugs a problem with pornography a problem with gambling a problem with their marriage All you have to do is ask that man or woman, what's the mission?

Because all that shit goes away. Anybody that's distracted doesn't have a mission. Because, I mean, I haven't had a drink in four years. And the only reason I stopped drinking is because of my latest mission. I didn't have a meeting with myself. I didn't read a book about it. Alcohol is not congruent with my latest mission. And I didn't give up anything.

And I didn't give up anything.

It's just not congruent with my mission as a husband, as a father, whatever. But everybody, like you just talked about the quiet desperation. That's 99.9% now. It's not 1%. It's 99. So if you and I meet 100 people today, 99.9% of them are living a life of quiet desperation. They're afraid of losing, afraid of winning, but they don't have a mission.

But when people come to me with all these vices and these distractions, I'm like, you don't lack time or discipline. You just aren't a man or a woman on a mission. When they get that mission right, then everything else falls into place. And the big part of the mission they don't know, Ryan, is it's about building a legacy of service. So I don't care who you are.

So I don't care who you are.

You won't be remembered in three generations. I don't care if you're Elon Musk. In three generations, the way things are going, they won't even know who he is. Nobody knows who Thomas Edison was. Nobody really knows what Reagan did. Nobody knows other than a couple things. So get over yourself with the people-pleasing.

Your great grandkids won't know anything about you unless you educate them on it. But if you want any legacy beyond 15 minutes after your funeral, you need to live a life of significance. And a life of significance is a man or woman on a mission serving other people.

And if you do not serve other people, whether it's coaching baseball or helping men or helping women or helping the Rotary Club, you'll be forgotten 15 minutes after your funeral. Maybe your wife, maybe your kids will be teary-eyed for a couple days, but there's no legacy. So for my guys, it's all back to significance. How can you serve more people?
