  6. “And you're willing to subject yourself to failure. That's a big part of it. Of any innovation, you got to be willing to crash and burn at the cost of looking like a fool, people laughing at you and not letting that dictate what you do. I think peer pressure. If it was up to other people, they wouldn't let you do anything. No one would create anything because somebody, oh, what's that? That's a stupid, whether it's your dad or, you know, I mean, I used to have, you know, I had a teacher tell me once in school, you can't eat your surfboard. You can't eat your boy. You can't eat your surfboard.”

  7. “I think a combination of a couple things. I think there's a little bit of a formula that I've been fortunate enough to be subjected to through how I was raised and then being exposed to the Lord of the Rings and Dune and some of these really incredible imaginations. So development of imagination. But, you know, Thomas Edison is quoted as saying, you know, all you need to be an inventor is an imagination and a pile of junk. And so, you know, and I lived at the end of a road that, you know, where you didn't call people to fix stuff, you fixed it. And, you know, you didn't have anything that was, you couldn't go buy stuff. You had to make stuff. And so, you know, and then I grew up in a way where I was, you know, there was racial thing because I was not liked for how I was born. So then I would be like, well, why would I be worried about what people think when I do something that makes them upset as much? They're already upset. They're upset for how I was born. So some of those things, you know, where you have an imagination.”

  8. “It's all because I don't my way my mind works, I don't want, I mean, it's almost like I had the fiction when I was young to create imagination and fantasy, but really what I hunger is truth. Like, what is the truth? What are facts? Give me information that I can apply. I want to be able to apply this stuff to life.”

  10. “Kid books that had the most influence on me, you know, I mean, you know, the Lord of the Rings was like a huge When I was young, my mom read those books to me and before I could even read. And so I went through the trilogy of those as a young man. And, you know, Jonathan Livingston. and the dune and all these other fantasy books, but the Bible really, I mean, that thing just had, you know, and then now Came, if you ask me today, like what book am I gifting everybody today? Well, I'm gifting natural born heroes. You know, like that's my book of the year. We have a book club in our man book club comedy in the gym or in the gym. We train together and then the book of the week or the book of the month and whoever gets one, we go and of course Rick's always a big contributor to Hutch Cheet.”

  11. “But that's where I found the truth. And I found that, and I didn't gift it as much is that I gifted the teachings in it. And I think the parables are such a, I love parable teaching because it's so tangible. But when you look at just the basis of what And what I find is that when you find the truth, it doesn't matter what the religion is. Because the truth is a golden thread that's way through all kinds of stuff. And so that just was the first book that I found a lot of truth in it. And then I was able to share that with people, parables. And then you run into so many situations in your life. And if you just look at basically the Ten Commandments and you live that way, it would increase the quality of your life. Now, you know, as a young...”

  14. “But the number one thing in all successful relationships, 10,000 couples, there's only one thing that everybody had in common, no matter what the dynamic, because there's all the different dynamics, one thing only.

  17. “And everything the star, I mean, I'm a part of that family. Like, I am literally, I don't live there anymore. I used to live five doors down. But I go up there, I stay at the house, I'm with the girls, I help the girls get ready, I'll take them to school.

  19. “I also think that the physical is a reflection of the emotional. Because if you do yoga and it's an intense position and you're having all this stuff, but this is for spiritual enlightenment. This is to come to a higher level of consciousness, but it's a physical act. So in a way, this physical relationship we have makes them mentally stronger, makes him mentally, you know, all these things are just reflection, these physical reflections of these emotional states. So all of a sudden, emotionally, they're a lot more open and do new things and handle and be tough and all that stuff.”

  20. “Right, right. And she came to interview me. And she had already interviewed 60 other people and done an aspect of their sport. For her before a match in volleyball, like I respect that as an athlete, but for her to go out and jump out of a plane, to go hang gliding on some crazy guy, to do a dragster bike. I mean, these are, because you're going into, I don't, I think you can ask her the question, she can answer it instead of me, but ultimately ask her the question of what was more heavy like before a big match that you were going to play or like get on a drag bike that you've never been on and release the clutch and go zero to 60 in a second.”

  23. “But that's a trigger to your brain. And you make room too. Yeah, what also gives you time because your brain goes, oh, I'm exhaling. I'm going to be inhaling. So again, it's a little bit of a confusion. Like you confuse yourself. And maybe you confuse your instincts, right? Like the breath holding, the exhale drill. Once you want to breathe in. As soon as you exhale, you have a mechanism that's designed to breathe in. Right. Because you have pressure on the diaphragm. You want to breathe in. But once you teach the body to resist against that and know it's okay that you're not going to breathe in right now because you still have the oxygen, then it leads you to a new place.”

  25. “Yeah, it did all those things to you. Well, and I mean, ultimately, I think it's about challenging your beliefs, but also challenging your physicality. So, I mean, within that scenario of the things that we've done, which were thermoregulating the heat, the ice, the pool, the lack of breath, the effort of swimming and jumping and all the physical stuff. I mean, there's just so many things happening simultaneously. I think it really is about just complete confusion. Yeah.”
