How to SHIFT Your ENERGY and CHANGE your LIFE | David Meltzer

biggest lesson of my life was just because somebody loves you doesn't mean they give you good advice I see so many people entrepreneurs in relationships they ask for advice for people that don't know anything my mom is a second grade teacher there's more dreams stolen from people who love you than by people who don't love you just the advice we take or the people to talk us out of it because we take advice from people we love in areas where they're not competent how to take advice from your mom on how to love somebody there'll be great advice right my mom created this great happy environment but when I wasn't happy it's cuz I catch her I'm gonna check up yeah but the card breakdown that's their crime we kids right I said to myself oh if I could be rich I could buy my little house buy my little car give her enough money so that she has all these options then she would be happy welcome back to max out with that my lad to my left here is dave meltzer welcome brother I talked about brother you are a brother from another mother I can't believe the similarity alright no it's interesting to other people I don't we think it's interesting but hopefully hopefully it's interesting for all of you Dave's a CEO of Sports one marketing he's also one of the great philanthropists in the country and he's an interesting man and that's why this conversation today I think an alter your life - because he's a sports agent but he's also does all these other things has been successful in the real estate space in the technology space he's now sort of the life strategy and coaching space as well but when I first started to read about you I thought I'm gonna meet this sports agent guy he's gonna be intense he's gonna be kind of a grinder you know and I found out it was almost like a meeting the Wayne Dyer of sports agents you know I'm a very zen very energy based guy like I am and so we share a whole lot in common so today's conversation I think you're gonna love everybody so let's start out a little bit about you though you end up doing really well right out of college right so in law school out of law school so you went to Tulane law school yes sir and you graduate there and within nine months tell them what happens because I want you all to hear the ups and downs of real-life business and real life from one of the most successful people in the country so what happens at a lawsuit so out of law school I have two choices for jobs and it's a recession right one was to be a real lawyer oil and gas litigator you know big money I all I wanted to do is be rich is why I went to law school and then the second was to work in the Internet and I got offered a job to sell legal research online by West Publishing ok big big legal publisher and so I go to my mom cuz you appreciate this I go to my mom ok what should I do mom my big advisor you know I grew up with a single mom six kids and she without blinking is like you need to be a real lawyer because this internet thing back so she calls it a fad right now I always say because I like to teach lessons your biggest lesson of my life was just because somebody loves you doesn't mean they give you good advice and I see so many people entrepreneurs in relationships they ask for advice for people that don't know anything my mom was a second grade teacher right what I've seen a beautiful soul but not a technology expert now and if I would have followed I think slowed down or you know you know not allowed me to have the acceleration I had so I took the technology job right you know single money-hungry in a sales job in the Internet yeah and I made a fortune nine months into it I had three goals when I went to law school if I could only pay back my loans okay by my mama home yep and buy my mom a car so mom even though she gave me the advice ago the rate was the driving force behind most of the beginning of I choked up still I got mommy issues and I was so proud of myself because I still had a little bit sure you do yeah oh you see yeah but I bought myself a big-screen TV that was no thing you did for you nine months yeah and I saved every penny I had a $25.00 per diem I bought peanut butter and jelly to take on the road with me so I can get the extra $175 a week as you're accumulating a million dollars in savings over that time did you save a million bucks the first no I say more well I saved almost every penny because the company I traveled so much I got it for a car house everything they paid for I was in hotel rooms at corporate Suites in Indiana Wow and so it was a perfect job for me because a full expense account my laundry was paid for my food yeah and I still I wore for three years embarrassing it up I wore the same pair of socks not because I couldn't afford new ones but I somehow in my sports plan yeah I thought they were lucky you're lucky socks and I was like in the East Coast and my shoe had a hole in the bottom and the sock and I finally that wasn't a very wealthy young man yeah more than a million dollars good and I'm wearing holes in my socks and shoes and the snow that's the trip I think I by the way i had the hole on the shoe thing going I did the same thing I saved every dollar mine didn't replace my shoes now cuz they were lucky I was being cheap I was trying to save everybody but I got to tell you there's a lesson one just to start the interview there's more dreams stolen from people who love you than by people who don't love you just the advice we take or the people that talk us out of it because we take advice from people we love in areas where they're not competent right exactly how to take advice from your mom on how to love somebody there'll be great advice right but on how that teens in renovate a young man so be very careful just because you love them or they love you of thinking they have some expertise in an area that you don't right they probably don't and so oftentimes we take advice from the wrong person to rails our dream so that's less than one more thing to yeah we end up resenting them which is worse so all the people that love us most you end up resenting them because they gave us bad advice and meanwhile we should be accountable because we asked a second-grade teacher for internet advice it's good that's the worst part that's really true so what happens after that you do really well so you become more than a millionaire a multi-millionaire early in life branded myself in technology okay I thought was this a brave maneuver because I was so insecure about people knowing I was still a lawyer my mom made me take the bar but for example okay she didn't think the internet was gonna last so I took the bar I passed it and I kept the esq on my business cards all time and feels like oh you're a lawyer and I still have this ego meanwhile I was making so much more when all my lawyer friends Wow and so I had to let that go and one of the biggest transitions was the first time I found my own frequency I started branding myself as an Internet guru okay right so we ended up selling West Publishing for three point four billion dollars to Thomson Reuters and I was smart enough at that time I heavily branded myself and a big guy in the Internet okay so they paid me a ton to stay on I had some stock Wow and so I stayed on to Thompson old are you right about that 27 that's incredible yeah so I was youngest executive at Thomson Reuters Wow then the Internet boom really happened we got into the late mid to late 90s now and the Internet boom happens Accenture which was the Anderson consulting did a merger yep so they hired me to run a Silicon Valley as a director for every path a wireless proxy server company transcoding internet on the web phones okay and now I just became a Silicon Valley kid in my 20s but I really hungry to learn how the money worked yeah I was the front guy I'd go into HP ventures in mirando Texas Pacific Group Sequoia yeah and I build these relationships I'm real good at you really getting this somebody connect you know and I learned that money side of it okay and getting those relationships was really key because Samsung wanted to get in the phone division you know and they ended up the Sheikh to have a young CEO yeah and I was good at raising money your hand they put me in this position we had the world's first smartphone oh my gosh yeah are you catching this everybody who's involved in the world smart like Forrest Gump of business well you manifested a lot of this stuff right I mean that's our conscious league unbelievable did you have the did you have this energy then or so I know you're you say you're a little more ego driven than though right look like so I had a very high energy okay you know just born born that way I didn't sleep a lot yeah a hyperactive but I was always in my own way I what was told to me was I carried an energy of being stupid now I need to explain that to people you can think and say and do certain things and believe certain things but if you carry an energy that's different it doesn't matter what you're trying to manifest and let me give an example there's a lot of people that date the same person again and again and again or they have the same business problem again and again again yeah same obstacles yeah no matter what they do you seem to what why why is this always happening yes it's cuz you carry the energy I drink what I analyzed and you know I went to India and kind of learned this stuff about myself is number one my siblings were all hyper intelligent students they all went to the Ivy League's so I kind of chip on my shoulder that I didn't go to Harvard Penn or Columbia okay my siblings were much more academic doing so I had that going then when I was little as hyper and they were good students my grandma who my mom was a teacher would take us after school was this wise old kind of Yoda type of character yeah and she would always say to me I go grandma I'm bored right boy I don't want to study yes he goes only stupid people get bored smart people think things to do well this changed my cellular memory that's right neural pathways and into mice code yes like DNA so my energy shifted what did that mean though that means I projected my insecure about being stupid yes maybe an eagle driven guy yes who then surrounded himself with the wrong people yeah I used to be the smart I made sure how the smartest guy in the room yeah now if I'm the smartest guy in the room I'm in the wrong you're in the wrong room so thank you I'm curious because I 100% acknowledge agree with all of that you said you're a really modak money motivated young right it was that because you grew up with none of it and just curious would you grow more crime yeah okay so I got weak similar I grew up in a single mom and six kids five boys and a girl so your mother raised six kids most of which go to the Ivy League and the other one turns out to be here went to Ivy Lee and then you turn out to be this unbelievable business are like starships the college unreal yeah she was amazing catalyst and but what for the time I remember my parents got divorced I I grew up happy though my mom created this great happy environment but when I wasn't happy it's cuz I catch her I'm gonna choke up yeah but the card breakdown I see her crying with kids right yeah or the dishwasher wood we couldn't go to summer camp I remember one time I really wanted to go to baseball camp yeah and I leave and I turn around and say something and I saw my mom crying oh so I said to myself oh if I could be rich I could buy my little house buy my mom a car give her enough money so that she has all these options then she would be happy Wow it's 40-something years later it still impacts you all right now brother alright so I worked through that all the time it's amazing man yeah that's that's Wow and it hurt me too because I created this weird relationship in my mom I had a lot of money because I felt so responsible for her and I enabled my own mom okay I bought her house had better car and constantly our relationship became about what she could do for you what you could do for her rather yeah yeah I guess if did that but it's an extraordinary thing I I have some energy healers and things that I know know what we saw cool people that I go someone should come up with their business some of these energy healing up and just say I specialize in mommy issues so you want to become a part of the first flip and smartphone on top of the first business venture so then how do you end up going from all of that into you get into the real estate business you get into some how you end up in the sports agent business or marketing business too right yeah so I've always believed an overlap or vertebrae approach the light okay that you have the legs be the lion so make sure what you do well and you make your money up and you take care of and then see what else you can do vertebra off from that so real estate was something cuz I had extra cash that I came up with this philosophy of buying one property a year 15-year mortgages after 15 years and the sixteenth year I'd refinance it tax-free for about 200 grand each yep so I'd always you know I was so young if I time I was 40 I was guaranteed 200 grand or more tax-free I just interject yeah I almost had the identical thing it's like generationally right it was I was uh was on all the infomercials that's what I learned to do right that was no process so keep going but I got the same exact thing well what happened was I was so successful in real estate you know what I was working in technology and you know at Samsung that my properties you know here in California shot up right so I started learning about refinancing okay leveraging yeah I was leveraging into some really quite a ski mountain put twelve million into a golf course and it ended up being we got Sam Snead to design it got me in the number one new course eight best in the nation with the real estate development all around it too right yeah five hundred acres right that was crazy that's all well anyway by the time Samsung outgrew me I used to tell people my ego I used to say I semi-retired I laughed yeah no they kicked my ass out I clearly now that I'm old enough remember hey man the about kicked your coverage here's some money right and leave we do have one more piece of advice if anyone ever pays you to leave take the money and leave it's 100 percent right yeah and so I dabbled in some stocks in technology but I you know took a lot of my time yeah yeah and I I was on this road I had so much money yeah I was married I married Mike childhood Sweden yeah that's right and I had three daughters young girls we lived in Rancho Santa Fe yep and in our area by the way right a great place and I started to self load like I was we built that house I remember the first night I live there you might have this feeling I just don't have sense again yeah when you build something like this I lie there in the bed coming from nothing yeah and for the first time in my life I wasn't happy yes house empty yes hey that's not five minutes before you got here today isn't it's unbelievable my guys about ten minutes before you got here today I just want you to notice I had this exact conversation with my camera crew and my my audio parts this exact conversation so yes then I started buying things that didn't you got more things you know different things yes me happy yes and then I surrounded myself with wrong people I started going the places I shouldn't go yeah I was drinking too much you know gambling and other things I should be doing yeah and my wife caught it immediately she said you're not paying attention and we had a lot of money yeah and my attitude arrogance was too spiritual you know she did all kinds of meditation and readings yeah I was like what do you know I made all this like literally what are you complaining about I'm a Ferrari in a Porsche in the garage you never live-in nanny yeah and you don't work right I used to see what my poor mom would do right years ago.the - yeah but sure enough she came to me I overheard her actually she could see things dissipated and said I'm scared to her huncle who knew me since us then said man I don't think us this is gonna last and I'm terrified and he said I loved it because you know everything always goes that kid's way goes I can't wait to see what happens with it back against the wall really yeah my wife approached me said she wasn't happy told me to take stock in who I was Wow and what I wanted to become yeah I adored her since I was in the fourth grade I spent one night thinking about it and the hardest part for people to understand is when you have a lot of money you don't go bankrupt and lose it in one night yeah it took two years yep so for me you know the hardest part was I changed before I started or actually lost every thought you okay I was starting to change yeah I was in a lawsuit my egos in my way yeah but it was too late and the hardest part was when I actually went bankrupt in 2009 okay you went BK BK this my bad behavior started in 2007 okay in BK in 2009 I had already met Leigh Steinberg I was running the most notable sports agency I was meditating every day yo your act together back together but the the weird thing was in that two years my wife get more and more scared because I was given control to the universe yeah yeah yeah right here she was very spiritual yeah but I tested you could put you went to the extreme oh yeah from not being that way at all prior right at all it wasn't controlling I think a ver some security that I always was on top of everything I was in control yeah and I'd answer her she goes what are you gonna do I go it'll unravel you just knew yeah he's new so let's talk about how that turnaround happened so it ends up kind of going BK yeah real estate market takes a dump can't get your hands on some leverage anymore she's gonna have to be in that press but you'd already been remaking yourself already changing yeah let's talk about some of those key things for people that are there's a lot of people that are watching this like hey I need to remake right I'm in my I got a reboot I got a I got a I got a chip some things I need to take personal inventory both of you and I are meditators both you and I are people that really believe in energy and so let's talk about just some of those key things that have worked for you if you don't mind doing okay absolutely talk a little bit about meditation just that one topic alone how that's impacted you and what you do with it for me meditation is about believe it or not vibration yep everything hydrates a table then plants animals you know humans light sound and then thought mm-hmm you know what thought vibrates the fastest the truth the truth the truth vibrates the fastest and so someone taught me if I could teach you to meditate to increase your vibration so that you can live closer to your truth meaning you can only be aware of that which vibrates equal to or less than ooh so I'm gonna teach you through meditation to vibrate faster okay and so I learned theta meditation great the other key component of meditation that I found and people like you and I that are reactive we're go getters is that I would waste so much enter energy reacting and I ran into a Marshall that master sha who gave me that and he's also a martial arts expert in master and he could take all these guys around us and they could all attack him at once and I'm like how do you react so quickly he says oh no I don't react quickly I go back to Center quickly so and that's what meditation truly does for me beyond the vibration is every morning I have a center spot so if something takes me off of that spot for the first 20 minutes a day yes I don't worry about this I worry about going back to here and then this becomes an illusion I love it when you're at peace if all distractions attacking thoughts boy shortages obstacles are just illusions yes we live in the will of the universe I live in the favor that's right universe that's right and when I'm off-center I'm not in the favor of the universe anymore so all I concentrate on and now do I do that a hundred percent of time no you're going my wife my employees I just do it more and more right every single week month and year I want stay on that for a second because a lot a lot of times people that watch this too don't even know they know what meditation means I think Oh does that conflict with my religion it doesn't at all meditation has it's not a religion it's a way of it's a way of emptying your mind to begin with by the way but it you should you should learn about meditation regardless of what your religious beliefs are in my opinion okay I don't think it impacts your religion one way or the other but you talk about those energies and I heard you talking about one time uh there's like three types of energies people live in you remember talking about that and this is this has a lot to do I think with how you turn things around and this energy that you describe what are those three types of energy so the first type of energy is the world of not enough yes and I've met so many people even that have a lot and these are like the billionaires that commit suicide they live in a world of not enough and so all you do is keep attracting not enough yes then there's the world of just enough and I feel really frustrated for these people because no matter how hard they work okay no matter what good intentions they have they always live in a world of just enough mm I just have enough I just have enough and then there's the greatest world of abundance more than enough and when you live more than enough you give freely you're right and you receive freely yep most people don't have a problem giving most people have a problem receiving and it is a shift and I think a conflict in most people's mind and I'll tell you how I know him you and I both give the blessing of speaking in front of thousands of I'd love to ask this question who here likes to give everyone in neatly they can't even hold their hand out everyone raises their hand yeah then I asked real quickly who here likes to receive you get this energy Wow it people won't even raise their hand yeah but even the people that do there's this hesitation which shows you energetically they have a problem with either not feeling worthy or not trusting the universe mmm-hmm they feel like God if I receive I'm somehow cheating yes right I'm not there's this weird energy you're right so I help people a lot of times with living in a world of more than enough yes that you actually it's okay to receive because it creates the flow you're emptying someone else's vessel that's right right right the way that you by giving should have being here year I I so believe that that's this impediment people's lives that I'm willing to receive the great gifts of life to themselves and you talked a lot about I love this too about outcome so in that same vein as we go down here people get confused by this with me all the time I talk all the time I'm having goals I think it's great to have goals but I've been the most successful of my life where I've separated my addiction to the outcome I was so addicted to outcomes all the time and what it did is it it tightened me it frustrated me it stressed me it put undue pressure on me so talk a little bit about how I think people think once I get somewhere then I'll be happy once I get this big beach house then I'll be happy once I get a bow what's that and I can tell you there are plenty of people that I live by right here but have these beach houses that still aren't happy yeah by the way and I also the whole material who don't have beach houses who live very blissfully so I talk a lot about living and what I call like blissful dissatisfaction what I mean by that is you can be dissatisfied and want more in your life but there's no correlation with that with not being able to live happily and blissfully now in other words my bliss isn't attached to an outcome in my life right can you talk about that from your perspectives I think of anyone I've heard discuss this in the business space because remember this is someone who's on multiple occasions brought lots of abundance and wealth into his life over and over not just abundance but created for a lot of other athletes a lot of other people around him a lot of business partners so he understands this principle is something you really need to listen to right here so talk there's a critical point because we're goal-oriented people yes right we played sports you know it's all about winning yeah and so what I used to do is I detach once I graduate high school I'll be happy and I get a scholarship to college I graduate obvious and every time it occurred I still was in the same state of mind yes what I learned to do was detach the happiness this bliss yep from the outcome now the difference is most people get concerned like well how can you be motivated without an outcome no no no I have outcomes and I pray every morning this is a truly abundant thing my first prayer every morning is may God put it in front of me 10 people that I can help that you could help that's a you could help that I can help and I've shifted the paradigm of value understanding outcomes and happiness so I used to and maybe you'll understand this I'm a great salesman you are I can over sell back and sell and lie to you I can cheat to you I haven't done it when I was in my 20s I would shade the truth you know I sold stuff sure and it didn't make me feel good what happened was I created a void for me to fill all the time I make you promises and I'd live on this premise I'm going to exceed everybody's expectations that's my goal right yeah let's start first of all talk about yes right how many times have you actually write exceeding a business the right exceeded the other party's expiration very rarely very rarely especially if you've set those expectations artificially high which I did right the way you exceeded is by not setting them charge you're selling it right that's why I started writing right but what was cool was I started with this prayer and then I said what if I started the day with this energy that God put a whole bag of hundred-dollar bills in front of me and my job all day long was to trade $100 bills for 20 so whatever I did was I was gonna provide value view as a father as a husband do as a business partner as a partners of philanthropists and just you'll see I asked everyone either unconditionally how can I be of service you do you say it to me the first time we spoke how can how can you service I mean it yeah I know you do and I and I know that that's my biggest blessing I'm not lazy I wake up before I am yeah I work really hard for others yeah and but I also when I work hard for others I have my intention my focus on what I want yep stay on that for a second so the power of what you're talking about for me is the intention part so once you talk about intention because the power of over-promising and knowing you're lying when you say it you've actually you know your intentions weren't pure when you say there's a power to just knowing what your intent is that hundred-dollar that give a hundred to take $20 is an intention to that I think gives you I think it helps you don't get too technical but if it actually helps you vibrate in a faster and higher level talk a little bit about the power of that intention they're taught by Wayne Dyer yeah I think do you study about dr. so there's a field of intention mm-hmm and I have a kind of steroid version of what I learned from dr. Dyer okay and I believe that intention needs to be consistent every day okay persistent without fail without quit and enjoyed for the pursuit of your potential a higher vibration or the truth let me put this into context if for example I can give everyone a gift say thank you is the best intention that you can have it gives you perspective makes your past awesome your present better in your future brighter to words thank you so I tell people make an attention of yours to be grateful if you get stopped into life say thank you because it probably in the universe is unraveling something and saving you yeah not slowing you down oh I love that right so I need that one it's awesome I love it and so I live in this intention now here's where you get good people loose your body has cellular memory okay prove it your mind has neural pathways and your DNA has a memory and energy yep that's your core energy if you don't do something every day consistently this is what happens the power of intention as an accelerator of exponential results meaning if I want to be grateful I do it day one its X to the first power day two to the X to the second X to the third X to the fourth now I go get wasted stay out all night and I'm an egotistic narcissist who think think of others now it's X to the zero power I've now zeroed out there's other days now I start over what happens at the end of the month is I sit there and go wow I did this all month this is the way the human mind works and I'm like why don't I get the results that Dave gets yes well cuz you zero it out three nights yep yeah and I'm getting to the 31st power you're exactly right and it's the same thing like people they just they're 99 percenters they don't realize there's a body - soul works it exactly happens by the way the easiest place to see this is like with working out or diet right those are the two of the easiest plate don't you agree with that well in for me yeah I'm living proof because I workout X to the 31st power I do not I'm gonna have to leave here at a certain time because I go to stark and they're gonna train me there you go and I had to drop my ego to realize I need a trainer yes I still suck at 25 yep backhand by his lady's shoulders right well for me I travel so much yeah eyes ear o myself out yeah two days ago in New York there you go right and I know it you know it and when I don't I will hold about 10 extra pounds right now okay I'm good cardiovascular yeah but I'm carrying ten carrying it but you know why because every month I'm zero zero no no just two or three days this is a part in my diet it's by the way I love this this is huge for people to get it's like cuz you meet people ego I'm doing it all I'm like no you're not you're missing the one percent that one percent I love what you said zeroes you back out it's a zero of thing it's a zero factor which also is important to know that's why what you commit to doing needs to be something that's doable and consistent people over promise themselves the reason you lose the self-confidence a all the time is lack of self confidence is the lack of keeping promises you make to yourself consistently right it's because you over-promised yourself just like you over-promised the sales deal yeah you're doing it to yourself genius so you got to do the 30 whatever the workout is select that you can do whatever the diet is or the phone calls are the meetings are it's got to be something that stretches you but that is actually doable that you can do consistent so you don't 0 I love love love love this yeah and the device that I had that was given to me while I went to the gym that I went to because I wasn't getting results great as they said we're not gonna give you anything to do that you won't do the rest of your life it gave me shivers I was like perfect it makes my life easy brother when people talk about these weird diets don't you cringe I do you're never gonna maintain that the rest you look for people ask me hey you're a really good shape like what do you do workout like two hours a day seven days a week no I do something I can actually do forever right you're a hundred percent right the other thing people do that I love that you talked about I love this but I knew we were gonna have more stuff than I can get in and I want I want to keep going so I love what you tell her the other people think people think often too when it comes to working out or business or diet I have to be world-class at it in the beginning or I'm not favored to do it in some way you talk a lot about this like crawl walk run strategy I say that correctly correct what is that so I believe that you need to crawl before you walk before you run in other words there's three things that determine you know this potential that you have one skills okay how can you run if you don't have the skills to walk yeah to is knowledge how can you run if you don't have the proper knowledge which most of it comes from either the internet which is a type of mentorship of modern-day mentorship or true mentorship okay asking for help you know I just don't get people and that don't go to someone you know and ask hey you're really good at real estate grant cardone yeah will you help me right why do you think people don't ego for sure that's I didn't ask for help am i working out okay there you go I know what I'm doing mmm right and meanwhile when I went to the experts in nutrition and training it all in your diet and all this I whoa why didn't I do this before okay and I love when people asked me to give them my dummy tax yeah right like I paid some serious dues yeah you might as well benefit from exactly right I think that's what that's the point of your podcast in my podcasts like learn from these dues that we've paid right right the how to what's the UM I love this what's your for me if it's for me like color I got triple-a yeah what is that so it's crawl before we walk over a run leads into to one thing people I was an action person right I was like a bull in a china shop okay what I didn't think I was that intelligent or that talented yeah but I knew one thing I was like the little burro I wasn't gonna quit I could outwork you and I can't say how many multi millionaires that I've met that subscribe to the philosophy of out working you yep yep you know that comes from the no quit your persistence is huge yeah but what I learned was what if it's very meditation came in what if I took a alignment first okay aligned with the universe aligned with the information be more interested than interesting then took action and where it really took note into my 30s and 40s was not only did I get alignment wanna take action too but when I got alignment I prepared for adjustment wow I love that and that I love that every prepared for its I love that I would like to give it gonna be a professional football player what's your backup yeah I don't even I love that now let's talk let's stay on this getting the real here people that are watching this we all have a lot of friends who are fakers meditators prayers and they don't ever produce results right and I think the reason for that is because there's there's the workers like in out work everybody which I subscribe to yeah I know you do too but having said that I so agree with getting a line first but I think a lot of people yeah that's puffery because I won but this is important for you to know a lot of these folks who kind of get aligned also leave out part beat would you agree with them which is the work part I have this they I know a short changes the message yeah I have the same right you're not gonna ever find me sitting at home high on my mom's couch we're trying to manifest a Ferrari exact right that's not gonna happen with your airplane right is not gonna happen yes what what I did learn is I will sit for 10 to 20 minutes mmm-hmm and manifest and then go out very clear balance and focused on what I want which gives me confidence which opens me up to receive you you just literally describe what I do I mean I think we do the almost the exact same thing the other thing we're both big into want to go through a couple like stuff yeah we're both being in a gratitude and the power of gratitude how it can impact the rest of your life can you can you speak to that a little bit about how gratitude plays into your whole life it is the cornerstone of my life to gives me perspective and I try to give gratitude to everything and everyone and when I tell you like I'm the guy who stops and it's not about having money or not I stop and give people who need it what they need out of gratitude it could be time it could be a compliment coming your attention right yeah yeah I open the door out of gratitude and I look at everything I have and I'm constantly fighting myself to make sure when things don't seem as if I should be grateful it freaks people out yeah but like these two words when someone's attacking you realize that the mathematics of the universe if someone's attacking you if all you hold is gratitude they can't attack you anymore you you can't allow them to take your joy they kid that energy an attack has to have attacking energy it'll it'll dissipate when you have grants Wow if someone attacks you and you say thank you yeah not really go she ate that it takes all the energy out of the attack so true I had a good friend that was having difficult to be another friend and I ended up being on his podcast cuz entrepreneur wanted me to do it okay and he started attacking me on the show no called me right after personal attack to him disrespectful you know the ego need me to go I need to be ready and all I could say was you know what I did not even think about that thank you thank you for teaching me how to be a better friend and he's you know I'm sure our relationship being yeah that we're so close and it did hurt your feelings will definitely survive this but the old Dave Meltzer we're going right back out or preach at them yeah and then I would have created this and lost a friend Wow all right it's like almost energetic judo or tights go away thank you that's wonderful I need to hear that by the way that's one for me because I'm a big gratitude guy but not to that extent yeah that's that's a place where I can learn it you know I think sometimes I that's good for me that's good for a lot of you listen to this too it's funny because I inspire and teach a lot of kids yeah and so if you go against gratitude forgiveness accountability or effective communication I use the Lombardi it's in my system because I learned that way pedal of Barty football yes yes so now I'm trying to figure out how do you take a grateful approach for someone not learning gratitude right thank you so much I do not alert anybody thank you but not quite working yeah principle applies and you're absolutely right because there's no what I always do when I hear a theory this is what I do when you should be listening this podcaster but I hear a theory and I put it through different situations that are real-world and does it apply what you just said applies there's not going to be a scenario where it it doesn't apply so powerful if it is powerful it's it's super powerful I'm curious talk about kids I read a little bit about you you do a lot of work with kids you alluded to that and also any kind of nonprofit charitable work you do too what do you do what does the organization you're involved with it helps with kids yeah so I'm the chairman of the unstoppable found that's what it is Cynthia Kersey founded ten years ago okay on her 50th birthday okay and took money instead of gifts just to help kids in Africa in Kenya so not only kids but communities with water education financial see medical care and it's evolved 75,000 people have been impacted and so now these girls who never would have been educated mostly girls that never would have been educated are graduating college that's wonder soul I turned 50 a month and a half ago happy birthday belated and I'm doing 50 birthday parties on this and for the 50 I'm gonna raise over a million notice no limitation yeah over a million as fast as I can in these 50 parties to build an empowerment and leadership center to take all these people who impacted and teach them how to empower others well that's the sort of scales that's what is scale one thing people ask me because I do Warren Moon is my business partner we have crescent moon Foundation we've given hundreds of scholarships to kids to go to college which is still important here in America sure our high schools the last me Dave there's a lot to do in America why are you doing this in Africa yeah watching what's going on in the world that if we can stabilize some of these other places and only better than here that's wonderful work brother it's really fun know what you don't know about him that's really interesting cuz you're gonna learn this lesson your business to these principles remember this is a guy who attracts to him some of the top athletes in the world that he represents right and other agents we talk about let's negotiate the shoe contract right let's let's you know get the percentage done let's get you guaranteed this and I know that's part of what you do but he takes this very unique approach right and the approach is almost you begin to talk to the athletes about their giving first and what they could do what they're giving in their time speak to that for a second which makes you so unique because what I want you here so unique in the space you're in because a sports world can be very cutthroat the dollar now short term short term short term you run a model that's different than that and a message and again I apply it through anything these same principles apply if you want to drycleaners if you own a gym if you have a you know you run a life insurance business whatever the heck your business is this principle he's about to share with you would distinguish you make you happier and probably grow your business as a bi Proctor it's not the reason to do it but it would as a byproduct we grow your business so talk about that and to give credit I learned it from Leigh Steinberg okay was a Berkeley guy okay Jerry Maguire okay co-produced with Cameron Crowe the famous or any taught me I said why why do you require every one of our athletes to have a foundation he said for two reason one I know it's right and the truth vibrates the fastest didn't put it in those words but that's what he was saying and then he said but beyond that because I started learning that by giving back I actually qualified the people I surrounded myself with if an athlete wasn't willing to give back I was only gonna have problems later on and so throughout my whole career since I've been working with Lee whether its athletes companies media or even interviews yeah I only do people that have been working with people that will give back every project I have has to have a charitable component or cause to it every single one the lower we won't take it I love and it just has really increased a collective belief or a vibration for our entire community not just our business don't you think it's important I heard you talk about this and I we both said this separate of each other but the reason there's also power to that by the way it's wonderful seeds you're sowing right the other part of it is like I think it's important to business that you show up different than people expect you to yeah you know I've seen you talk about I talk about that all the time too like in my case you know if I'm got some big arms and I got tattoos on there and I show up as this guy's talk about loving people and blissful dissatisfaction and making it different way tam innit I thought you're gonna talk about smashing people in the face you know I think that's been an advantage of mine that maybe I'm not as I appear right and is that true also would you give that advice to somebody in business or evenness in life absolutely then you you have to take advantage and I even take charity and you know my motto is make a lot of money and help a lot of people and have a lot of fun and a lot of people ask me why do you say make a lot of money Dave you're this philanthropist all right like you pimp out a lot of athletes and celebrities for money so I call this self-aware the pivot why do you do that I said because literally if you don't have you can't give that's right I said how about forgiveness good if you don't forgive yourself that's right can you ever forgive trite baby and so I say to everyone make money for yourself first you'll figure out where to put it yeah you're not my mom is a great catalyst siblings did extremely well her but my mom has to still be supported by her kids today there it takes away from her own pride there Y of course right and because she's never cared about your making money or so yes and I really believe it's really important if you have the skills and knowledge and desire that you should make as much money as you can yes and take care of everyone around you I believe that so much and the point is - is that what Dave's sharing with you is you can't transfer to somebody that which you're not experiencing yourself you can't give me love if you don't feel it you can't give me gratitude you can't give me energy you can't give me confidence you can't give me money you can't give me these things if you're not experiencing on yourself so one of things you can tell from us talking is this man is interesting then he's compelling and he's different and so I find myself gravitating to your content myself when I'm alone because it it educates me but it intrigues me it challenges me it makes me think differently in this space we're both sort of in a little bit there's a lot of repeating sort of the same things in the same audience over and over I told you this off-camera I enjoy you because it's different and unique and it's I think I would call this it's an elevated message it's an elevated message how do they find these messages from you so let them know how to find you because I for many of you the first time in my audience you may have seen Dave most of you know him but if you don't I don't know I don't know me that's pretty honestly good because there's 3.2 billion people that's on the internet and most don't know us that's right and I was really interested in how you do find out what we're teaching and share it with your friends sure so at David Meltzer is the best place okay Instagram I do have dave meltzer calm truth is there's - Dave Meltzer's David melts are your Google you're gonna find everything on me right dave meltzer half on me half on the World Wrestling Federation guys all right good yeah he's a sports reporter okay so one of my favorite things right is when I get reporters like they want me on XM radio and they start talking about uncle Steve on phone that's all Bradley freaks out my publicist I want you all I want you to find the right guy because I think he can help you he helps me i knowi that he can help you so last question for you this is just flown by me I knew it would like I have about 21 more things on here right again but I'll be hammering I would know I want to do it again on camera - because I know people that are watches like hey have him back right because there's more so but like what do you what do you want to focus on the next five or ten years you have your and I know there's some ambiguity to it of course but like you got your sports agency you've got your philanthropic work right you've got this space your noun which is podcast that's awesome by the way so what are you focus on what are kind of your ambitions the next five years so your life yep I know you know the specific window on it but in that we generally content so I bought a media company good and I have a TV show called an elevator pitch which is Shark Tank with Sol mentoring young entrepreneurs but I want to truly keep my frequency that thing that you talked about elevating yes so I believe elevate others to elevate yourself and so I want to create through just my normal life really cool content that empowers people in love it and not just motivates but inspires motivations short term right right it'll get to that 99% yes but if someone's inspired they're gonna look like you yeah right right you're inspired guy that's right I want to be able to people say man the tears in their eyes thank you so much you changed my life even even one of those that I get it makes like my whole life yeah you know of anybody who sat across for me because you're the most you're congruent like what you say is who you are now-now-now right because I used to be the guy yeah I say now hate me for who I am love me for who I mean love me for who I am make me prone I used to want everyone to love me feature so there's no congruence in my life I was a chameleon yeah you know I was weak yeah and I was ego driven and everyone admired someone that didn't exist didn't even exist was some character illuminator right I'm the guy that lost all my money had some serious problems but I know how to live my life and I'm continue to get better yeah you are brother and you helped me today like I've got my own notes that are down on the interview but I really love this this is Dave Meltzer everybody I want you to find him on social media I want you to engage with this content I really thank you brother so much very much such a good conversation all I ask of you you know this everybody both he and I do our podcasts our programs for free we just want to serve the world to make a difference
