Welcome And Series Setup

SPEAKER_01 0:18

Welcome to the Rising Tribes Podcast. I'm Nick Yurankar with Braxton Cave, and this is week three, fitness of our discipline series. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 0:29

And I think it's, you know, important to start it off with you know, I think excuses become the number one reason why we lose discipline in fitness. And

Why Discipline Breaks Down

SPEAKER_00 0:43

I know, you know, for myself, I made up, you know, this this quick hitter list of you know things that I think probably I would say these were my kind of mine, but some of them are or general, like, you know, post-athletic identity crisis. Um that's a big one. I mean, especially for me, going from you know, competing in in football in like a very routine structure, you know, to lose that, it was almost like I could have gone the route of I don't know what to do, no one's telling me what to do, just give it up. Or you walk through those shadows and you figure it out, right? It's almost like setting it's setting a new identity and setting new goals. Um, you know, seasons of life come up, you start having kids, you know, you start a new job, it's that fitness can quickly become one of the things that that falls off, you know, a busy schedule. Um, you know, some people will say, Well, you know, I'm I'm married now and I have kids, so I I focus my attention on them instead of myself. And I think you talked about no, you you made a post the other day about what was it? So how did you say it? Selflesslessness.

SPEAKER_01 2:04

Oh, selflessness. There's that something like that.

SPEAKER_00 2:07

Yeah. Um but so often I mean you made fun of me for it. Um, I think if you look at anyone who you look at and they look like they're succeeding in the fitness space, oftentimes it's because they've carved out this, you know, call it selfish if that's what you want, but that time there were their focused on themselves because any of us know that when we take care of ourselves, we can show up better for others. Yeah. And, you know, I think these these were kind of some of the main points that that hit me as why we lose our discipline when it comes to fitness.

Make Fitness Automatic

SPEAKER_01 2:48

Well, before you jump into those, I I always compared fitness to like so I saw something, and I think everybody's probably heard these things where it's truthfully, it's not about the choice. Like some people are like, oh, I choose to go to the gym. I choose these things. Like, I no, like somebody who in any aspect of their life becomes successful, it's no longer a choice. You just do it. Like you wake up, it's not it's not about waking up and then asking the question, Am I gonna do it today? And then hoping you say yes more times than no. It's that you just wake up and you just do it anyway. And I and I like to compare that to like work. You wake up and you're supposed to go to work, and you don't think, Am I gonna go today?

SPEAKER_00 3:34

You don't do.

SPEAKER_01 3:36

Well, some people think that, but they think, but they don't think it every day. It's the days they think it and they may not go in. That's like the day that you're like, today I'm not going to the gym. But for the most part, they're like, I need to go in because I need to get this paycheck, or there's this purpose to it. And I think a lot of times with fitness, people don't think there's a purpose to it, or I'm there isn't a payday at the end. Like, what is what am I really doing this for? Like, that's why people will say, like, you've won. That's like telling a billionaire, hey, dude, you can stop, you won. Like, they're like, it's not about that. And that's fitness. It's not about, oh, I look this way. I don't look this way because I just snap my fingers and here I am. Like, that's that's a product of all of the work. Just like being a billionaire is a product of all of the work. That's like every aspect of our life. It's having a great family. You don't wake up every day and say, I hope I'm a good husband today. Like you don't wake up and say, Ooh, I wonder if I'm gonna pray. Like you have to make it a habit that is not a question that is just a I do this because.

SPEAKER_00 4:40

And I think, I think in the in the beginning, though, you do intentionally have to make a choice. And then once you've done it enough, then it becomes a habit and a routine. But I don't think you just wake up one day and this is my new habit, my new lifestyle, my new routine.

SPEAKER_01 4:57

However, to push back on that, I say it's making it, it's making it the easiest choice. So it's not saying, okay, today I'm am I, can I do this? It's saying, what is the lowest barrier of entry so that I don't have to make this hard choice of like, ooh, this is gonna be a hard thing. It might just be, all right, today I'm gonna wake up and I'm doing 20 push-ups. So it's not the choice of am I going to, it's I'm doing this, it's a small bite size, and hopefully I'll do more. So I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and do 20 push. So it's the choice is already made, but it can be small. And I think sometimes we make it too big, which is then it's like, do I really want to do all that? Do I re- and it's like, no, you don't have to.

Meal Prep Without Overthinking

SPEAKER_00 5:37

Yeah. I mean, the first thing that came to my mind when you said that was meal prepping. And how and it I guess it's just preparation in general. Yeah. Like some people lay out their clothes the night before for the gym. You know, a lot of people meal prep because I'm I'm one of these same people, and I think probably all of us are. If I don't have a healthy meal prep that I can just pull out and I'm hungry, like I'm gonna find the fastest thing possible. Now I'm gonna try to make the choice of eating something healthy, but that choice isn't always there. So I just default to grabbing whatever and how do you meal prep?

SPEAKER_01 6:17

Because I some people hear that and they're like, oh yeah, it must be nice. I don't have the time.

SPEAKER_00 6:22

Well, I think it goes back to if it's important to you, you'll make the time. So, how do you guys though? So for us, it's we do all of our grocery shopping on on Sundays typically after church, and then we come home. And I think one of the biggest hacks that we've been able to invest in is a blackstone. So we throw all of our meat, whatever we have that week, ground, ground beef, ground turkey, chicken thighs, that's kind of the staples that we lean on and throw it all on. We'll season it up, throw it all on the blackstone. It's just the amount of volume you can throw on there and cook all at once. And then we will make a big batch of potato, you know, throw some potatoes in the air fryer, and we'll cook a bunch of rice and it's put them in containers and they're in the fridge, and we pull them out and measure them as we go throughout the week, and it's that's how we break it down. I mean, it's it takes it, does take some, it takes a couple hours, I would say. Um now, obviously, it like you go to Costco, there's like some already cooked uh sirloin, there's some salmon, there's some different things that you can do that are that are already made, and all you gotta do is heat them up. So there's some some ways to do that, but we always like kind of prefer and lean on cooking our own food and seasoning it the way we want. Because at the end of the day, like anything that's already made, you just you don't truly know. Uh you you want to rely on the the nutrition label, but we know there's a plus or minus factor of what's actually in there. And I think as you're starting, like just it's really easy to go that route. Now, if you're trying to like really dial it in and you wanna, you know, know exactly what's in your food, then you got to do it yourself. But I think there's levels to this of you know how how accurate do you really need to be to reach your goals?

SPEAKER_01 8:24

Yep. And I and for us, I would say to anybody out there, my guess is you cook one to three times a week, at least at home. Hopefully more, but at least that much. And then the the so then the biggest hack that I would say is when you're cooking that meal or three, you prep way more than you need. So, example, like my guess is when you're doing the blackstone and all and cooking all that stuff, that's also what you're eating for dinner. So instead of cooking a couple pieces of chicken, you're cooking enough to feed an army that you're like, I am the army over the next five days. Right. So just taking the things you're already doing and and just expanding on and looking more past, oh, I'm eating dinner tonight, but it's like, oh, I'm doing this for five days. I'm I'm not just prepping for today. So you're already putting in maybe an hour and a half and it might add 30 minutes to your cooking time. But I think a lot of people will talk about like prepping all the food and doing all these things, but not actually eating it when the truth is you you're eating it. So cook and then eat rat and cook more of it. So many people argue against meal prep because they don't have the time. It's like, you know, I know you're cooking one to three times a week at minimum. Just cook way more.

SPEAKER_00 9:45

Yeah, I think the other the other piece of that is I think people overcomplicate it. I mean, say what you want, but we kind of live by the kiss method. Like keep it simple, stupid, right? Like I can eat the the three, like, you know, like I said, chicken thighs, ground beef, ground turkey, like, and you can prepare them and mix them and match them with different like you can eat something different every day. It may be the same things, but just with something else. Um, and then you get really good at, you know, my wife, I call her, she's the condiment queen. Like she, my wife always has to have something on top of it. I think that's wives, because that's my wife, too. And um, so we've found, you know, a couple of brands that we really like that are that are clean, and you know, we'll just top whatever we're having with with one of those condiments. And and um I think the other piece, because we live a crazy lifestyle right now, we're we're very busy with baseball and dance and all these

Eating Out With Boundaries

SPEAKER_00 10:43

things. So there's some nights where we aren't gonna have a chance to get home and eat dinner until eight o'clock. So we'll stop, but we have a couple of our staple places that we stop. Like we have a Mexican restaurant we stop at where we always get fajitas. Um, and then we have kind of a farm to table place where you know we know exactly what we're gonna get. So we, you know, even on the nights when we need to eat out, like we don't just kind of leave it to chance. Like we know ahead of time of where we're gonna go, what we're gonna get, you know, what we can kind of stay within our boundaries, uh, even though, again, you don't know exactly what's in those foods um and how they're prepared, but you can also get pretty specific on asking. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:29

People don't ask enough.

SPEAKER_00 11:30

I mean, we ask, like at our one restaurant, we ask them to cook our food in olive oil, and then the other one we'll we'll ask them to cook it in butter instead of the old the type oil that they normally use. So like you can do these things, it's just it's only an ask away. And I think people just kind of default to ordering off the menu and knowing that like they're it's a it's a service, and they will do pretty much anything you ask them to do.

SPEAKER_01 11:56

And a lot of people will end up saying that that I'm working with or work with that, like, oh I didn't have any other options. And my answer to that is you did, you just didn't plan or prepare yourself. So just as you're saying, like you have these, like these are what we do, you can also have the list of like these are the things that I don't do. So if you go to a place, say there's a McDonald's, instead of going to McDonald's and trying to find the best thing, like we don't eat McDonald's. We just don't. Okay, so that's not on our list. So if there's only a McDonald's, then we're not eating that. And there's tons of places you go to a 7-Eleven. Like, I I'll have people that'll message me and like, shoot, I'm stuck. I grabbed this, and they'll send me a drink from uh, you know, a gas station. And I'm like, sweet, that's better than the crap. I'm like, but what would be a better option? They're like, I don't know, I didn't have one. And I'm like, well, have you bought bulk drinks before? And they're like, well, yeah. And I'm like, okay, why wouldn't you just bring one of those? And they're like, oh. And I'm like, you you can bring things with you. Like my daughter was getting ready to go uh travel out, and she's like, Well, dad, do you think that I could get this fast food place? And I was like, Well, why don't you just bring your food with you? And it was like this foreign thing of like, because I kind of want to eat out, basically, is what she really wanted to say. And I was like, you need to just plan better. And I think that that's something that we don't do. We we we struggle because we go out, we have this excuse of like, ah, there was no other other option. And it was like, no, there are. You're just living inside of like you don't know where what your options are. And if and if you're going someplace, you know what's available, whether they're gonna have what you want or not. So you can plan, or you have to be able to say what you do and don't do. I mean, we we have certain restaurants we just do not go to.

SPEAKER_00 13:56

The other thing that's that's an interesting concept that I think oftentimes people don't even think about is like your body doesn't care like what there's what time it is, right? Or like what you're eating at certain times. So, like, you know, breakfast for dinner is like a normal thing at our house. Like your your body's not like, oh, it's dinner time, I have to have chicken and rice or steak. Like your body doesn't care. Same thing in the mornings. Like you can eat ground beef and rice for breakfast. Like if that's what you have, then go for it. I think another hack for us has been we go through a disgusting amount of Greek yogurt at our house. Like, I can't remember who it was, but someone was at our house the other day. They opened up our fridge and we had like five tubs of Greek yogurt, and they were like, uh, like what why do you why do you have all this? And it's amazing, you know, some of those nights, like I told you guys, when things get busy and there may be stuff going on, and like the kids are overtired, and we got to get home. Like, we're not definitely not stopping at a restaurant. We'll get home, put the kids to bed, and Natalie and I will be sitting at the counter eating. We'll do like some Greek yogurt with a scoop of protein powder in it, and throw like some berries or like some Catalina crunch in it, and like that's that's dinner. And most people would look at that and be like, that's not dinner, that's a snack, or that's a that that's just not dinner. Well, it is for us. I mean, it's full of protein, and and you know, you throw some fruit in there and it's like you said, kiss.

SPEAKER_01 15:30

And I think one one big thing to think about is there are a lot of options that maybe you don't know about, and that is why getting around people who care and maybe are a few steps ahead of you, and just asking, like, all right, here's what I want, what can I do? Because I would always rather have somebody have all the options and choose the worst one than have no options and not knowing they're choosing the worst one. And I think there are a lot of people that use excuses and ignorance as like, oh, well, I didn't know better. And it's like that's not on me. So I don't want if I'm sitting at that table, I'm gonna be like, all right, then here's what I know. And I don't want you to use that as an excuse ever again. And I think that is a driving reason for like this podcast, for rising tribes and what we're trying to do in the community, because I don't want somebody sitting across being like, well, you don't know me then. Okay, let me get to know you because you don't know me. And just like we're talking about this eating stuff, the same thing happens with workouts.

Short Workouts That Still Work

SPEAKER_01 16:36

So I will work with somebody and they will, you know, give them, let's, because you don't know somebody right off the bat. You're just kind of guessing and you're figuring things out. And there was one person, example, sent them over the stuff and they did like two days worth of workouts. And they were like, it was just too much. Like I couldn't get the work done. And it wasn't that much, it was that they basically were like, No, I I have like 20 minutes. Like, okay, you didn't say that. Now I know, and then shortened it. And they're like, Well, these are too short. And I'm like, Well, it's 20 minutes. You said you have 20. And I said, How about this? I'm gonna give you six days of 20 minutes. Two of them are bonus, and all of a sudden it's like, oh wait, a bonus? Like, that means I could do more if I had the time. Yeah, and you know what? They do four days every single time. And they're like, Wow, never thought that this would work. And it's like, yeah, could you do more? Yep. But when I give you more, do you do nothing? Yes. And I think most of the time people overwhelm themselves and then do nothing, blaming time or you know, you name it, when the reality is it doesn't take as much as you think. And as you get better and more efficient, you improve the way you manage your time, what you know, and as you as people start to see you change, it it's fun to like help. Like, hey, this is what worked for me. In fact, I was the same way. I thought I needed an hour and 20 minutes. Look, this is all it takes. So I think discipline comes down to not just like, oh, I'm gonna do this this hard thing, but sometimes it's doing the easier thing that you would have normally not done. Like the the biggest results, in my opinion, happen when you normally would have said no, when you normally would have skipped, when you normally wouldn't have done the meal, when you wouldn't have prepped, when you would have got fast food, when you wouldn't have done the workout. That's the stuff that affects people more. And then the biggest growth occurs when you get to the point where you're like, I don't want to do this anymore. And it's like, that's the whole point of the workout is to get to that hard spot and then do it, and that's when you feel the best. Right.

SPEAKER_00 18:51

Yeah, but the comments you're making earlier remind me of I so there's a gas station close to our house that I go to all the time, and and I've gotten to be friends with some of the guys that work in there, and and one of them, you know, he he came out to me and he was like, You gotta give me some tips. Like, I want to get, you know, he does the I want to get big. And I'm like, give me he he said, give me some give me some workouts to do. And I was like, the workouts isn't where the magic happens. Like the the workouts are complimentary to like what are you eating? And he his eyes got real big. Like, oh, like that's that's more important than working out. I'm like, in my opinion, with my part of my journey, I'm like, I would say yes. Some people may disagree with me on that. Um, but I've always lived by the philosophy of you can't out train a bad diet.

SPEAKER_01 19:49

Well, and you can't, like, longevity is through your eating. I mean, the the workouts, you know, yeah, you can be five pounds heavier, five pounds lighter, slightly leaner. Like there's different things that the workouts can do, but the eating is what showcases all of what you're putting in, like all the work. Right. That's why I always joke, I'm like, look at a power lifter or a strong man. They look fat, they're super strong. But you'll also hear like their coaches like eat a stack of pancakes. Like, I mean, and that might sound like, yeah, right. No, they do. Like, it's like calories, calories, calories, calories. And we don't care where the calories come from because you need to just be big and strong. And you can get strong with a bad diet. You're not gonna be optimal and it's not gonna last forever, and you're not gonna look the part they don't care.

SPEAKER_00 20:38

Right. And to and then you, you know, you strip those guys down, lean them out, and then they look like absolute freaks.

SPEAKER_01 20:45

Shredded, yeah. Because they've got all the muscle. It's just that's why when people are like I had somebody recently, they were like, Hey, can you this is awesome, this is great, but can you send me more ab workouts? And ab workouts don't give you abs. The kitchen is where what you all have abs. That's why I'm like, the smallest guy, skinny guys have abs, but they have no thickness, they're just like straight lines. You want to see you gotta build them up, and that's through big lifts. Big lifts get you abs. Sit-ups don't don't do that. But people want it, they want to be like, oh, I'm gonna do sit-ups. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 21:25

That's like I've been Nick and I have been talking about this since the day I met them of like you you can always tell someone who did CrossFit by looking at their abs because they look like these big blocks. And uh and on women, especially, you can definitely see the difference. And so that was like one of Nick's first things he told me. He's like, dude, if you want abs, you gotta lift heavy.

SPEAKER_01 21:49

Yeah, it's not and that's where like you can tell when somebody has developed abs. That's what I would say is they're developed, meaning like they are a muscle, it's like a bicep. You see somebody with big biceps. Biceps, your abs can get thick like a bicep. So the thicker your abs are, actually the more fat you can have and still see them. That's why you'll see like big guys walking around sometimes, and you're like, the dude has a belly, but like I'm pretty sure I see abs. Yeah, because they're they're like a bicep that even though you put fat over it, like they're thick enough where they still show. Um, so it's pretty crazy. It's so when you see somebody who like puts on a little bit of weight and they have no abs, they just don't have developed abs. Which my always what I'll say is like they've just not lifted heavy in their life to develop themselves. And that's normally low back abs. Like that's why you'll see a lot of like ex athletes will have thicker abs. Not because they did sit-ups, but because they were like developing all around, and then that that is a huge, you know, especially football, you're hitting, right? Baseball, like a lot of this like torque and impact, you constantly have to be engaged and be tight all the time.

SPEAKER_00 23:05

So yeah. So

Training Routines And Racing Goals

SPEAKER_00 23:07

walk us through what like what is your daily discipline and routine look like when it comes to fitness in this season?

SPEAKER_01 23:15

In this season, right now, um I like to get pretty much anything that I find value and knocked out early. And then everything else is a bonus. So working out, um I currently will like I like to run or bike at least two or three times a week before anything else. So that might be a long five mile, six mile run or a 10 to 20 mile bike ride um and done early because with this heat and then go to the gym. Um really I'm only doing maybe 45 minutes of like solid work to an hour, but I've got some time, so I'll talk and you know, whatever, just without BS my way around the gym, I guess. For maybe hour and a half. Um I'm fortunate enough that like I I have the time right now to get two hours to two and a half hours of working, sometimes three. Uh I'm now, I would say, training primarily like that longer stuff because I've got my long bike ride coming up. Um, I want to be a better runner. We're gonna be doing another high rocks race. I'm gonna be doing a competition, a crossfit competition in August. So I'm like in this phase of like how serious do I want to take my training? Um, because I always find that I like I like training with a okay, I'm I want to get better at these things because I'll do well at this competition or I'll do well at you know, uh this race, whatever it is I'm doing. And then as I'm going through it, I like to pay attention to like how does my body respond to this training? And uh I think it's funny because if you look back over like probably the last 15 years or more, you'd be like, your body hasn't changed that much, but I could show you, like, well, this is when I did this more of, and then this. And definitely like, I feel like I'm probably leaning out right now purely because I'm just doing so much more longer stuff. Um, but I enjoy it, it gives me more time to myself. I feel like we're so connected. Um, that sometimes fitness does that. It not only is it great to like relieve stress, but it it shuts you out of the noise of what everybody thinks you should be doing and how you should be acting. Um, and I think sometimes when you walk out of the gym, people throw their opinions at you and it's like, shut up.

SPEAKER_00 25:45

I love that. My my routine right now is very similar. It's you know, obviously, with us being in the summer and the kids being out of school, it makes it to where the mornings aren't as crazy. So on an ideal typical day, get up first thing in the morning and run. Um to me, I've really started to fall in love with that routine of just waking up and getting a run-in, and then I'll come home, eat something, put some type of carb source in my body, and then go to the gym. That's kind of been the routine for five days out of the week. That sixth day or Saturday mornings is when we've been doing our longer run, uh, which has been uh another thing that I've really fallen in love with. And mo partially for the work, but partially for the community that we're we've been building and the guys that have been showing up, and that's been pretty cool. And I feel like everywhere I go, people are asking me questions about it, talking about it, saying they're gonna show up. We'll see if they do or not. Um but yeah, running's been a big part of kind of the season that I'm in right now. Same thing doing we're you know, high rocks towards the end of this year, it was followed by another high rocks two months later. So trying to stay in a in a cardio position to be ready for that. And to obviously, when um you and I did one together um in Chicago, this one will be a little different because we're doing mixed doubles with our wives. So, you know, the you and I split all the training load or the the workload. Um, this will probably look a little different. Um my hope is that I can manage more of the load so Natalie doesn't have to, and then really see the the real work will come down to how we do in the running portion, because that's really what high rocks is all about. So uh what's been really cool out of this is my wife, you know, has been training and running, and it's been really cool to see as she's you know, like especially when she hits these uh interval runs, you know, she's like setting these new PRs of speeds she's running and what she's able to maintain. And I think it's just been a really cool thing for us to do together. And I think it's uh you don't get an opportunity at our age to to compete very often anymore. Um, so to have an opportunity to compete, but then also do it alongside with your wife, I think it's is about as special as it can get at this point in life. And it's just been uh it's something that's made us closer. And it's just I go back to like yes, at the end of the day, my why is I want to be in the best, you know, physical condition shape for my family so that I can lead and steward them well. Um but I also love having something on the calendar to train for because I just love like that the mental side of I have to put in the work to show up or I'm gonna be exposed.

SPEAKER_01 29:07

I love what you said that you know, at at our age you don't get to compete as much, especially with your wife, which I'm doing it as well. And I think on top of that, having people around you that you can be like, hey, we want to do this. Because well, I'll tell you when Hyrocks, when I found out about Hyrocks, I was like, I will never do that. That looks stupid. Um But putting your ego aside and realizing like it's just a name and it's just a thing, it's just an outlet. Like the truth is it's an outlet, but yet we act like we are better than the outlet. We are better than this thing that my friend was really good at, and I don't like that friend. So like I now hate this. Like we create these stories that the truth is like I I hate that I said I'll never do it because I don't like to use that word because I I believe that some of the most successful people, and I mean I believe successful people change more often than non-successful, because you have to be able to change. So, what I think is really cool though is that I know that we did the race, and then my wife finished and said, I will not do that again, which then kind of like as a byproduct took me out of doing it again. And then you and Natalie were like, Well, we were gonna do it again. And then now all of a sudden, because of that connection, Chelsea's like, Well, maybe I do want to do it again, so we're doing it again. And then because we're around other couples, we have other people that are gonna do it. And now there's a big group of people that are like, hey, we're all gonna do it. And that is community. It's not about saying, hey, we're all the exact same. It's saying, hey, we can all take pieces from each other and we're gonna grow and become better, and in ways that we never thought we would. I never thought that I would be doing this. However, it won't define me. Like, I don't adjust everything to be the best at that, but I'm like, I kind of like always say, like, I want to go out, do my best, prepare the best I can, and then be able to do it the next weekend and the next weekend and have fun and be around good people and not let my ego stop me or pride stop me. Um, so I'm excited just to be open now to like getting back out and doing more things. And I think for people listening, it's a good challenge to be around somebody who's saying, like, hey, what are what can we do that maybe we aren't open up, we aren't open to. Um, because you opened me up thinking about doing high rocks. To the point of now, I'm like, well, shoot, the first one we're doing, we're doing with our spouses, it'll be like one year since we did the first one in like February. What if we did it again and tried to beat our time the second time? So there's it's like, oh, well, just open yourself up to more.

Community, Rising Tribes, Next Steps

SPEAKER_00 32:00

I mean, at the end of the day, the the community is what this whole thing is all about. And so as we continue to build out rising tribes and and create this community and do our launch on uh the beginning of August, you know, this is the type of community that you're signing up for. It's a a group of people who don't have it all figured out but are in it together in all of our pillars, you know, and obviously fitness is a big one for a lot of people. It's you know, we say, you know, faith is the foundation that all the rest of this lays upon. But at the end of the day, your fitness is such a big deal to a lot of people that it really influences how you show up into all those other aspects.

SPEAKER_01 32:44

And when you talk about first impressions, fitness is a big first impression.

SPEAKER_00 32:50

So hopefully this was helpful getting in to see a little bit of you know where we're at in the journey, what we're focusing on, some you know, some tips and things that have helped us on the fitness and nutrition side of things. Um, it's like Nick said earlier, it's it's not about overcomplicating it, it's making it simple and making it consistent because that's where you see the true change.

SPEAKER_01 33:14

Awesome. Well, subscribe, follow along. Uh, we're gonna be doing leadership next week. And yeah, hopefully you guys are crushing it. If you have any questions, let us know. We'll be doing the Nashville High Rocks, I believe, right?

SPEAKER_00 33:29

Yep, and then Chicago a couple months after that.

SPEAKER_01 33:33

So as you get into the community and stuff, we're obviously gonna be pushing people to be like, hey, here's where we're gonna be come out, you know. Heck, maybe we'll have people inside the Rising Tribes, maybe we'll race with one day. Yep. All right, well, have a good one. Thank you for listening. See y'all.
