Speaker1:
And I'm going to give him a proper introduction because it's what he deserves by far. Chris, this is a former paramedic with a master's degree in health science while also minoring in microbiology is a smart puppy. This gave Chris. The medical and plant knowledge needed to create thisll therapies as a company that focuses solely on the medicinal customization of cannabinoid remedy remedies. That's a that's a tongue twister, Chris. Chris tailors his products to an individual specific diagnosis. This is this is a game changer. What their symptoms are overall health goals by utilizing 17 unique cannabinoids. Seventy five cannabis derived turbines and an ever growing list of vitamins, supplements and nootropics of them saying all this right, having helped over 500 people, that's five hundred and animals as well to reclaim their quality of life. Chris is ready to bring his proprietary method of healing to the masses. You're going to want to listen to this all the way through. So, Chris, thank you so very much for taking the time out of your busy. I know you're a busy man working very hard to get this incredible product out to the masses. So thank you for being here. And yeah. So let's jump right into it. You know, I'm sure some people saw or heard Cannabinoid and then this word called cannabis. So let's just address the elephant in the room right off the bat. So what you do, Chris, is primarily just to get people high, correct?
Speaker3:
Absolutely not.
Speaker1:
No, of course not. Because it's anything it's couldn't be further from the truth. And I've been in a CBD company. I wasn't looking to go into a CBT company. It's a long story how it happened. But as a result, I I became very educated in it and realized that there are still many entities out there that block the the commercialization, I guess is a good way to put it, of things like CBD, oil, things that are not drugs, things that are not going to cause any altering of your mind whatsoever. It's just going to cause great things. But what is going on with that, Chris? Why are so many what if the FDA is one example, I'm guessing is saying you can't have this on just merchant accounts? This I know for a fact merchant account shy away from CBD oil of any kind they say you even have, which means you can't process credit cards to take orders with our merchant provider. I ran into that. So what is up with that, Chris?
Speaker3:
Honestly, I think Big Pharma has a big hand in it, because so many people are getting off medications, they're shying away from traditional medicine, that just gives them another side effect and a side effect on top of that. And they need a new medication and another medication, you know, and big pharma is losing a lot of money and they had a lot of pull on. So honestly, I think it all goes back to Big Pharma.
Speaker1:
And let's address that one head on and I want everyone to hear the answer to this is and I got Chris is OK to have this chat before we started. I don't in any way want to jeopardize what Chris is doing or be very careful about that. But if we say it versus write it, then it's OK. And so, Chris, I want to ask you straight up, do cannabinoids mixtures of those with the things that your you work with? Have you seen them cure cancer?
Speaker3:
Absolutely, 100 percent, if not CBD or THC by itself, but combinations of the correct cannabinoids terpene supplements, combine that all together and you can cure cancer.
Speaker1:
So I want to be very clear, everyone, you heard that, yes, you can cure cancer. That's amazing. Hey, Tim Gillette, thank you for coming on. I love the support. Please, everyone share this now immediately if you are so inclined, because this is life saving information. Yes. Jason Nasty is on the line and he has lots of questions. Good. I can't wait to hear him. And Lisa Testa, thank you for coming on. I have context to a merchant services company that will let you take credit cards for Civita we've seen up there, out there. But they're far and few between. And that's your thing? It's part of the part of the reason I wanted to have you on here, Chris, is also to educate everyone about not there is no harmful nature in the products you formulate at all. There's no hallucinogenic anything in them. And I know this personally and I will say it now. I myself am a customer and I take the CBD oil that Chris had formulated originally for my wife. And in fact, there is zero. What is the what is it called when you get high on marijuana
Speaker3:
Cycle activity
Speaker1:
Cycle activity, euphoria? Well, I'm euphoric just because you're on, but that's beside the point. There's none of that going on whatsoever and it's one hundred percent legal. It's not a drug. It is. It's a miracle plant. It all comes from that plant that we all know we all love. We've seen the jagged leaves, the marijuana plant, and it has so many amazing when you start researching this now that your mind is open to it, all of you watching, listening, you're going to be blown away with the magical properties. And Chris, we're going to talk about some of them, I hope tonight we get to that because it's unbelievable what a wonderful plant this is and what it can do not only for humans, but for farms, for nuclear fallout situations that I've learned just it goes on and on and on. And so what took you down this path? Let's back up a little bit. You have a great past. You know, with your degrees, you became a paramedic. I mean, what was that like being a paramedic and helping people in that field?
Speaker3:
It was a thankless job, definitely. You know, it was tough. I mean, I love helping people, but paramedics and EMT should definitely be treated better than they are. They didn't work very hard and don't really get much for their job. You know, especially when I started out as an EMT. Basic, you know, it gets a little better as you go up the ladder, obviously, you know, EMT intermediate and then you become a paramedic. But they are thankless jobs and you see a lot of crazy stuff. I mean, especially working in Boston, you know, working in the tougher cities. And then there's people, you know, the paramedics that work and, you know, real tough cities and New York and stuff. And they might go and try to treat a gang member and they get shot at, you know, so it's a thankless job, you know,
Speaker1:
And it's it's somewhat upside down, in my opinion, based, you know, there's what you did paramedics. There are police. Of course, there are massive scrutiny. And I think it's really unfortunate police who do the same thing put their lives on the line everyday people in the military who have enlisted because they're only there because they enlisted. They volunteered to go into that teachers who teach our kids. I think all of these vital, vital vocations are so vastly underpaid and underappreciated. I love that. So you came from that hole. And the reason I brought this whole thing up was you come from a place of loving to help people. Yep. And it was the people's job. You still did it for, what, seven and a half, eight years
Speaker3:
Is
Speaker1:
What steered you to what you're doing now from that point
Speaker3:
Is so basically I had an uncle who had Parkinson's and I was always interested in cannabis becoming legal and all that always kept up with the laws. And I was interested in the whole farce, all the different facets of cannabis. I used it when I was a teenager. I mean, I don't really smoke cannabis right now, but I do use my custom formulas. But anyways, I had picked up a CBD vape, you know, years and years ago at a trade show. You know, one of these trade shows that I used to go to all the time. And I brought it over to my uncle's and my his wife, my aunt held it to his mouth and let him take a couple of puffs off that vape. And after about five minutes, all his tremors stopped. He was completely normal. Then once I seen that, there was no stop and I was off to the races, you know, looking, reading everything that I could find.
Speaker1:
And that's one of the things that impressed me so much about you. Chris, is your. Your absolute undying way of studying and never stopping until you've gotten all the answers and the interesting thing, when we were talking and you shared this with both myself and my wife, when we're on the phone, is you're looking at a place that I never would have expected that would be the go to region of the world for expertize in how to formulate to help heal the body. So where is that? And tell us a little bit about that research and what it has done as a result of doing that research for you.
Speaker3:
So the top tier research is coming out of Israel. I know that might be surprising to a lot of people, but there is a scientist named Ralph Nechirvan and he is actually called the godfather of the endocannabinoid system. He discovered how to separate GHC from the entire planet. So basically all this extraction and everything that's going on today, you know, and they're making to distill it or just straight CBD isolette they have him to thank. And he's also discovered how to synthesize cannabinoids in a lab setting. So literally create CBD or THC or CVN, whatever, out of nothing. So all of their research, you know, on top of that, they have federal grants. They're backed by money, which the United States doesn't do because of the legality of cannabis. So when they have that federal grant to back them up and then they have a top of the line, scientists like Dr. Mashonaland, you know, they can really come up with some amazing things.
Speaker1:
And that's so cool, because according to what you've researched, there's nobody else in the United States, as far as I know, that is going as deep as you are by modeling what they found in Israel.
Speaker3:
So basically, you know, I. Look at all these different companies and even research companies in the United States. Everybody is just focused on two cannabinoids, THC and CBD. I mean, you might find CBG cannabis grow. You might find that in a few stores that's starting to become popular. But, you know, just those two cannabinoids, CBD and THC people act like that's the end all be all cannabis. And it's not because there's over one hundred and fifty different cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, each one with their own medicinal benefits. And I carry the 17 most medically beneficial cannabinoids. So that sets me apart right there. And then seventy five different cannabis derived hairpins. You know what a TAKUAN is, right? We discussed that.
Speaker1:
I think you explained it to me once, but I love to hear it again because I don't recall.
Speaker3:
So that's right. So turbines are found in every single plant that are actually found in some insects as well. Those over twenty thousand different things in the world was over three hundred found in cannabis alone. And they're responsible for the aroma and the flavor of the plant, which a lot of people that know about Girkins, they think it's just the aroma or the flavor, but they also provide medicinal properties. So a long time ago, Native Americans and even people to this day all over the world, they go out and they collect different herbs and roots and plants and combine them together to treat different ailments. Well, the reason why they're so specific when they choose their ingredients is because of the term genes that are found inside those ingredients. Now, like a modern day version of that would be, let's say, Brian, you walk into a medical dispensary and you go up to the counter and you say, you know, hey, I have anxiety. And they say, OK, here you try this strain of cannabis. And then I walk up and I say, I have migraines. And they say, here you try this strain of cannabis and they give me something different. The reason why they're giving us different things is because those different strains have different turbine's. So I get those extracted from the cannabis plants in all different strains. And that allows me to add whatever properties my patients, quote unquote. FDA doesn't like that word, but my customer patients, whatever you want to call them, whatever they need.
Speaker3:
I can add through the use of Girkins and then the final part that I think is really setting me apart from everybody else is know the vitamins and supplements and nootropics. So, you know, that allows me to really take it a whole another step further. And, you know, adding things like that in there, when you add that to terpene and cannabinoids, you only need micro doses of these different supplements and whatnot because the turbines and the cannabinoids increase the Bible availability tenfold at least. So creating these custom formulas that are tailored to different people's illnesses, that nobody is doing that and I just want that I want this to spread. And, you know, I currently have customers in Thailand, Peru, Brazil, London and all across the US. But, you know, there definitely needs to be more people that know that something like this is out there because everybody is just going into the CBD stores and just buying CBD isolette for two hundred dollars a bottle, which is outrageous. And, you know, or they're going into dispensaries and when they buy cannabis, all they're doing is going off the THC content. They're going to buy the, you know, the weed with the highest THC or that one has. Twenty seven percent of that. One has twenty two percent, no buying. Twenty seven percent THC and the wrong way to buy cannabis, you know, so there's a lot of education that still needs to go on.
Speaker1:
So let's address that as far as the U.S. just reminded me of areso short for Rick Simpson oil that became very, very prominent. If you were to research cannabis and cancer together, that will probably come up more than anything these days. And one of the things that it does, because it has an intense amount of THC is it really, really makes you high. And I saw a documentary on this and watched from patients who are taken it. It worked for them. It did a great job. And there were two main differences of several. But one was that the amount that they needed than just the other was the cost. I did a little research and found that. So it's normally a 90 day protocol, as I understand it, 60 and 60 or 90 and a which would involve what I was researching, around 60 grams in total of areso, and that came at a price tag of around six thousand dollars. And we're talking a 60 to 90 day application, which for me, if I have a loved one, I don't care how much it costs. I'll go to the ends of the Earth and raise the money somehow. Some way it'll happen. But six thousand dollars, just to put that in perspective. And then you get something like this where this is a 30 day supply, it's tiny. And that's what you were just saying, that it doesn't take that great amount. You know, they have a dropper. Half an eyedropper once a day is all it takes, and this is it. You don't have to inject anything. You have to smoke anything. It doesn't taste horrible. Even if it did, who cares if your life's on the line, but it doesn't it doesn't taste horrible, in my humble opinion. And and it doesn't cost six thousand dollars. So if it's OK, if I share Chris with this, he just talked about traditional CBD, which is what, one cannabinoid?
Speaker3:
Yeah, it depends. I mean, there's CBD isolette, which only has one cannabinoids, isolated CBD. That's just CBD. Then there's broad spectrum which has almost all of the cannabinoids minus all of the THC. So no THC. So those to you, you won't fail a drug test for. And then there's a full spectrum which has every cannabinoid in it, albeit in very, very small amounts, and it has up to zero point three percent THC. So, you know, the full spectrum is a little bit more medicinal than isolette singular cannabinoid by itself. But it still doesn't have enough of the other cannabinoids to be effective. You know, it's still I just look at those isolated broadspectrum and full spectrum, which is the basic CBD tinctures, you know.
Speaker1:
Yeah, and the comparison is something like that that did not have the knowledge behind it, the mixture of the formulation that Chris does from his research from Israel, from his proven results, this is what really matters to me, is not all of the stuff that went into it, although that is important. And I don't want to dilute that at all because of the work you put in, Chris, but it's the result you're getting from that and from these wonderful concoctions. So this is very specific. You had this made from my wife and this goes back to a story where and this is my copy of it, it has my name on it, too. He does look at that same guy, my name. That's pretty cool. So I know that this is mine. You've also supplied some for both my dad and my mom, and they each have their own separate formulation as well. And they are now actively consuming that. And it's not all but 19. Let's see, 12 years ago, I lost my mom and she had battled breast cancer for 16 years, a long time through chemo, multiple times radiation, you name it. It was it was horrendous. And just love those days where she wasn't feeling horrible, which anyway, back then I knew nothing about and probably wasn't that prevalent as far as Israel.
Speaker1:
So I don't know if that even existed. I don't know when it came out. But I did research this is my mom. Right. And I found this stuff that I can only describe as dirt water. It was it came in a little cajas and it just this light brown look to it. And it was a full jar, one of those. What do you call those? Those Mason jars. Yeah, Mason jar. And just it just came that way. Somebody formulated it and, you know, it didn't look appetizing. It didn't look tasty. And that wasn't the reason. But I decided I'm going to buy double and I'm going to drink it next to her alongside of her as a healthy being to see if there are any adverse effects to me, you know, because obviously, if you're already weakened from chemo and everything else, it may be magnified the results of that side effects. So I wanted to be there with her and also experience the whole thing, the taste, all of it. It was nasty. But again, if your life's on the line, who cares what it tastes like, looks like how you ingest it as long as it saves your life.
Speaker3:
That was that was that from cannabis?
Speaker1:
No, I don't recall what it was from. And it had apparently I don't know if it had any effect at all. I have no way of knowing it was Nancy was had a lot of lymph nodes involved from the very get go. 16 years is quite a testament to not long with what she had. That's the whole point of that, is I wanted to be there by her side and experiencing whatever it is she's experiencing the best I could even she lost her hair. So I shaved my head bald to support her. And then my dad, my son followed suit. So we were a nice bald family. It was pretty cool, but that was a lot of support and so full circle to today. Similar thing is happening now. And next time I'm on the air, you might see me bald and both. It's because of my wife. She's going through it now. And luckily, it's pretty, pretty quick. But I'm I am actually taking the same exact formulation she is alongside of her. That is why I want to explain all that. And so and I've talked to you a lot about this, Chris, and here's one great way to summarize how to treat this, how to think about this. It is basically a supplement. Yeah, dietary supplement. It's a miracle plant that has had its beautiful. Parts extracted based on education, based on knowledge, based on research, based on actual results. Of how people reacted. Let's talk about a few results, let's talk about you gave a great story about an individual that had been diagnosed with stage four. That's the highest later stage pancreatic cancer. Now, when people hear pancreatic or lung, they instantly think death sentence. So what happened with this one?
Speaker3:
So back in twenty eighteen, I actually was an owner of CVT store in Massachusetts with partners, you know, no longer part of that business, you know, just focusing on my physiotherapist now. But back then, you know, I always work the front, always dealt with all the customers because of my medical knowledge. And this woman came in and she walked right up to me and she said, what do you have to make me feel comfortable? She didn't want to try to treat anything. She just wanted to, you know, go out and spend her last days as comfortable as possible. She wasn't going to do chemo. She wasn't going to do radiation. She told me she had four tumors on her pancreas, stage four cancer. So I said to her, before you give up, you know, let me try to make a custom formula for you. And after me explaining how it works and everything, you know, she agreed. And I actually used, you know, based formula of full spectrum CBT. And I added in the cannabinoid CBG cannabidiol, which is the stem cell of all cannabinoids. So when you have a cannabis plant growing before it has THC, before it is CBD, before it has CVN, CBC or any of these hundred and fifty different cannabinoids, it's all CBG throughout different stages of its lifecycle. It gets hit with different enzymes and amino acids and those CBG molecules turn into THC or CBD or so on and so forth. And at full maturity there is less than one percent remaining of CBG.
Speaker3:
I get that extracted. And when a human, you know, just that it's like taking the plant equivalent of stem cell therapy. Now, what it can do in this woman's case is as far as cancer is when the cancer goes to metastasize, it needs to grow a new tumor somewhere else. You know, it's going to spread, needs to grow. The tumor may be in her lung or wherever it wants to go. Now, for that to happen, something called angiogenesis needs to occur. Angiogenesis angiogenesis is the creation of new blood vessels. So you need those blood vessels feeding that tumor to keep it alive. Now, CBG actually inhibits that process. So by putting CBG in her formula, I knew that the cancer would not spread or get any worse than I know stage four is pretty bad, but you didn't want to have it spreading through her entire body. That's the first part of healing. Somebody is containing it. And then I use something called CVC Carnamah Chroming, which causes apoptosis cell death in cancer cells, actually eats them from the outside in and then the terpene limonene, which is found in citrus fruits. So that's why a lot of people that have cancer get vitamin C infusions. That actually creates a secondary cell wall around the cancer cells and stops them from replicating. Well, anyways, I made that formula for the woman and after three months she came in, she walked right up to me and gave me a hug and she started crying and I thought, this is it.
Speaker3:
You know, she's only has a couple of days remaining or something like that. But I started talking to her and she wasn't upset at all. She was very happy. She told me that she just had three of her tumors removed. And once they remove the tumor, there's obviously some down to the pathology lab to see what's going on with them. Her doctor remove them because they had shrunk over 60 percent. And when he sent them to a pathology lab, he seen that there were you know, there was this coating around tumors and there was, you know, another molecule that was, you know. Drilling its way inside the tumors that he asked her what she is, what what have you been taking that's without it. So she told them that the owner of the Comedy Store made me a custom formula with this, that and the other thing. And he said, well, you better go and give him a hug because he saved your life. So she she came in and gave me a hug. I told her, you know, are you going to continue on this formula, stay, you know, keep taking the same thing. So she kept taking it. And then four months later, that final tumor, it disappeared on its own. It didn't even need surgery. And she's still doing fine. So this day.
Speaker1:
For months.
Speaker3:
Seven months total, it was three months for the first three tumors and then four months for the final one to completely disappear.
Speaker1:
My goodness. And what she basically ingesting droppers full of a former governor,
Speaker3:
Same exact thing. Yeah.
Speaker1:
And it I love this. I love the actual stories of, you know, this is you can't. Yes. Could you make this up? Yes. But he's not. There's no way. And one thing that really rang true with me about you, Chris, is I'm a businessman. I'm an entrepreneur. I'm always looking for helping other business people to make more money. And you were very adamant in saying, I'm not doing this for the money to help people to save their lives. And so that was going down the path of the price point of like Rick Simpson oil, which has had some, you know, downright downright miraculous results similar to what you describe. But six thousand dollars plus it gets you so high. Some of them some of the people I saw on the documentary said that was the toughest part. I had to get over that hump. But it was to say that they'll do anything they need. They were hallucinating. They had so much, even if it were THC laden, the the drug part, the type that is psycho, whatever you said, active psychoactive part.
Speaker3:
Yeah.
Speaker1:
Yeah. If if it was that, how many people in history that are you aware of that have ever overdosed and died off of marijuana or THC zero. There we go.
Speaker3:
Yeah. It's just not possible.
Speaker1:
Anyone that's wondering if this is safe or no one. It doesn't make you high. Number two, it's safe. You can't overdose. So that's why I say think of this as more like a supplement. But this is a let's call it a super supplement because it's saving lives. And that's I'm excited. I literally have goosebumps under my jacket right now. I am so into the I want the word spread so far and wide about what it is you do. I want to bring up another example, because we do have actual a picture. A picture is worth a thousand words and it goes in line with a question of a good friend of mine. Jason asked who brought it up, pull it up on the screen here. And he said, Have you had luck with psoriasis and so psoriatic arthritis treatment? I'll never make a doctor every day,
Speaker3:
Every day, every day.
Speaker1:
And so you had a particular young woman in that exact condition, correct?
Speaker3:
Yeah. So this woman this is one of my customers in Peru. She's had psoriatic arthritis, probably. She's about sixty three years old and she's had it for over twenty years now. And it obviously manifested in the form of pain. But also she had the dry chappie shave skin and it was covering her entire face, which, you know, obviously that's going to take away from your quality of life. You're not going to be able to feel comfortable in certain situations. And all they were doing for traditional medicine was giving her tropicals to essentially burn off the top layer of her dermis and hoping that it would be healthy underneath. And that's absolutely not the way you want to go about something on your skin. You know, your skin is a reflection of how you're doing on the inside and how your internal systems are doing. So you need to balance those out. You need to achieve homeostasis. And once you do that, you can begin to have healthy looking skin. But this woman I told her to stop taking, you know, stop using that topical and I created a special formula for her and not a topical, not anything, just something that she's ingesting. And after thirty days, the changes were miraculous. I mean, we have the other picture. It's I mean, it's night and day. I was even shocked that it worked out well. Like, she she's almost completely clear her skin in that picture. It's still shocking to me to see that.
Speaker1:
I have one more time for comparison. For those of you watching and for those of you listening on podcast after the show, I, I highly urge you to come over to the mind body business, show dotcom the mind body business, show dotcom, go to past shows and you can pull up this show with Chris Dussel and you'll be able to see these images from there. So be sure to do that because we're showing the before picture. I mean, it looks painful.
Speaker3:
It looks and it really does
Speaker1:
Look like scabs on our face, open source, big all over, all over our face or forehead or cheeks. And we go to the after and. My gosh,
Speaker3:
It almost looks like she has makeup covering everything. Yeah, but it's not. That is crazy.
Speaker1:
And that's why I wanted to impart upon everyone watching as this goes on, we could go on all night about the types of things that Chris has helped people with, what he's helped to cure. And yeah, I'm saying I'm saying cure. Why can't we say the word cure? I don't understand that. That just drives me nuts because it's.
Speaker3:
Yeah, it's not FDA approved. So you can't act like it's a medicine. You can't say it's a medication. It cannot treat or cure anything. You just can't say it
Speaker1:
And be part. And medicine in today's terms just means a chemically altered concoction of some kind that does more harm than good. But I didn't say that, did I? OK, but they are just saying the itching is what makes you crazy. So she a lot.
Speaker3:
Oh yeah, definitely. I mean, you can tell just from the picture, I mean I'd be itching like crazy. Yeah. She had her face looked like that for the better part of 20 years. I mean she was. Yeah she was at her wits end. Wow. And I mean she was in tears. You know, the fact that it helped that much, I mean,
Speaker1:
She it's
Speaker3:
Gone. I mean, I'm I'm still shocked honestly about that outcome, but I'm glad that it helped her. And, you know, she's still taking it her formula to this day because she doesn't want it to come back. And yeah.
Speaker1:
And that's the other thing, the cost that I keep dodging that, but not on purpose. But we were talking about isolette and full spectrum and broad spectrum. And I myself had taken CBD oil that was broad spectrum are full spectrum. It was
Speaker3:
Yeah. You were taking for
Speaker1:
Fifteen hundred I think was the mg. Yeah. Fifteen hundred and it was around one hundred and forty two hundred dollars per bottle like this. Yep. And after talking to Chris I remember we were on speaker with you Chris, and you're talking about everything we're talking about tonight and so much more in great detail, knowing that what you have is way more special than just CBD oil off of the the countertop, if you will, is my wife and said OK. And without really waiting for a big thing that she was like, so, Chris, what are we looking at for? Cos, you know, in my mind I'm thinking areso six grand for ninety days. Right. And you came back and said it'll be two hundred and I'm thinking. Dollars said out loud, and I remember this, he said, That's it. You paused for a moment and said, Wow, that's it. I get a lot of people that tell me that's too much. I'm like, are you kidding me? If they knew actual CBD oil cos that isn't even specially formulated, doesn't have the extracted cannabinoids like you have done the 17 and put them together in the proper mixture along with the beans and everything else that goes into it and your love and care. You physically put that, you formulate these yourself individually.
Speaker3:
Everything's handmade. You. And so everything myself.
Speaker1:
Think about this, and this is everybody out there, two hundred dollars a month, would that be worth it to cure your cancer? Would that be worth it to get rid of your your arthritis or the skin conditions and all the skin conditions that go with it? How about pain? We have a question about pain here. Have you created formulas for lower extremity nerve damage? Pain?
Speaker3:
Absolutely. Yeah, actually, the one that you were showing that relief, if you see the bottle, it says relief. When I first created those formulas I created for premade formulas, I created, you know, relief, which was for neuropathic muscular joints, all different types of pain. And then I created relax, which was for basically anxiety and depression, created revive, which was for focus, memory retention, energy. And then I created rest, which is for insomnia, people that have trouble sleeping. And, you know, when I made custom formulas for people, I essentially take the label that I think it's, you know, fits the formula that I'm making. So when I made the formula for you and your wife, you know, that's going to give her relief. So that's why I use the relief on. But the relief that's on my site is made specifically for neuropathic pain, muscular pain, joint pain. And then if you want, you know, you can reach out on my site through the chat function. It goes right to me and I will customize it to you specifically. Now, you told me your age, your weight, your diagnosis, your symptoms, the medications you take, food allergies, for example. Brian's wife had a food allergy. All the stuff I had made up was with coconut oil and I had to go out and get my palm oil. So now I have a special ingredients and for her formulas here. And so then I try to make sure that I can adapt to everybody's needs.
Speaker1:
And you're so easy to get a hold of. And I don't want to cause a landslide of people calling you and all of your time, but is something called a diagnostic quiz, right. On his website. And so you can go through and basically explain what's going on with yourself, like he just mentioned through the chat
Speaker3:
Interface that will that will show you what Terrapins will work best for you. I'm actually working on one right now for cannabinoids and supplements as well. So it will be everything on one, but that is a lot of coding.
Speaker1:
But and then so I mean, this says twenty four hour, seven customer support, I can attest to that. My gosh, you're on the East Coast. I'm on the west. And there was one point I was texting you, and I know it was past 11:00 p.m. your time and you responded within minutes. And I didn't expect that. I expected all you'll get to me tomorrow is like smokes.
Speaker3:
You know, I always answer my phone. And on top of that, like when somebody purchases a product, I should be priority mail there in Massachusetts. They get it the next day. If they're in California like you, it's probably like two or three days, tops. You know, sometimes I'll even do overnight shipping for free if it's a special case, you know.
Speaker1:
So we just want to implore one, people try not to take advantage of this guy and ask for stuff like that up front, me personally, I will pay extra just to keep you rolling, if that if that's what it comes down to, not because what you do is so important in my life. It's got to be in everyone's opinion now that that knows that what you do gets results. Yeah. Lisa said currently on intrathecal, I guess, as I say, M0 for pump and wanting to wean out opioids.
Speaker3:
Yep, yep. I have gotten a lot of people off opioids, benzodiazepines and all Neurontin SSRI is I mean, that's probably a daily thing too. I get calls about people wanting to get off medications. That's becoming more and more prominent. And that's why at the beginning of the show, you were talking about, you know, why isn't this legal? Why why can't you say this? Why I can't say that. And I said that Big Pharma, I think, has a lot to do with it. And that's why so many people just want to get off their medications. They tell me they're on 15 different medications and they want to get down to one or two or they want to get down to none, then I can't tell them stop taking your medication. But they can use their own discernment. And, you know, as they start to feel better or they go to the doctors and they get better test results, you know, they know what they need. And if they don't need it anymore, then so be it. Maybe they're just taking a dropper until the time, the day, you know, that I think that's a lot better than taking 15 different medications, you know.
Speaker1:
Absolutely. And, you know. Yeah, well, take us down that rabbit hole. Big Pharma, you know, they're going to they're going to be the reason they don't like this. One of the big reasons is this is literally taking money out of their pocket 100 percent. And I, for one, am more than happy to do that because, I mean, my gosh, I have a good friend of mine who take who gets an injection and does this quarterly. And I think the number was twenty thousand dollars per injection. We're talking about a little bitty thing, a syringe that I know what you have can help him.
Speaker3:
Yeah, you're telling me about him.
Speaker1:
So it's unbelievable what Big Pharma charges because they can because of insurance. And I mean, it's just a big rabbit hole, like I said. But in the onset, we talked about so many other things, you know, about what you have addressed with different formulations. Cancer is one of them. It's the big C.. Right. Parkinson's was another. So I talking about Trembly and you talked about that just a little bit ago, that he was calm in no time. Crohn's disease, epilepsy. You had a story about epilepsy. I remember
Speaker3:
So
Speaker1:
Sure that
Speaker3:
So actually, this came from a business acquaintance of mine. His brother lives in Thailand and he's married to a Thai woman and she's a very small, petite woman and about eighty five pounds. And she had severe epilepsy that also manifested in the form of neuropathic pain. And she was having, you know, up to five seizures a day. And on top of that terrible pain she was dealing with. So, you know, the business acquaintance got in touch with me. I got in touch with them, which a 12 hour time difference. So that was another call that was late at night. But I talked to them, created a custom formula, very difficult to get the product into Thailand, had a claim that it was essential oils and know fake invoice and all that. But I got that over there. And after she was taking it for four days, she stopped having seizures. And after two and a half months, after two and a half months, she went to see her doctor and her neurologist. The neurologist cut all her medications by 50 percent. So cut everything in half. And then after another three and a half months, she went back and they took her off her medicine completely. So she doesn't take any other medications now except for my formula that I created for no seizures. No no pain. She's completely fine.
Speaker1:
I mean it, and we can go on again all night with all of the case studies that I like to call case studies. The types of conditions that Chris has directly helped people with and you saw the picture of the nice lady before with all of those horrible things all over her face, the sores, the scabs, the it looked it looked painful. And then just a short 30 days later, clear after 20 years here in St.. And so I just please, if you maybe you aren't the one, if you're watching or listening, maybe you don't have any of these ailments and think, thank the Lord if that's the truth and that's the case. But I would be willing to bet, you know, somebody who does, whether it be someone you love or a friend or even just I mean, I learned of somebody who I met twice as many years ago, and I learned that he was suffering from neck cancer, cancer on his neck. And I reached out to him and gave him your contact information. I don't care who it is. These are human beings. I mean, I don't care what I mean, but I don't have to know them to spread the word about this life saving gift that you have for them.
Speaker3:
The other thing I want to touch on is you were talking about Rick Simpson oil. And, you know, people hear cancer and they automatically go for Rick Simpson Oil or FICO, which is full extract cannabis oil, which, you know, a lot of people think that are the same thing. And they they basically are they're just two different extraction process processes. But, you know, people like I said, they automatically default to that. They hear cancer. They say get on soil right away, even with animals. You know, I treat animals all the time. I'm treating a few of them at the moment that have cancer. And, you know, I see people saying, oh, give give that cat areso. And then I jump right in on Facebook or whatever it is and say, no, do not give the cat Owasso because they have about one hundred times the amount of cannabinoid receptors we have and that will kill the cat. Wow. The amount of THC. But, you know, people think that the the high, high amount of THC in ARESO is what kills the cancer. Now that actually can help. But honestly, I think and I have information to back this up, that it's the other minor cannabinoids that are found in the Owasso because it's a full extract.
Speaker3:
It actually has about 20 percent CBG, which I was saying, you know, inhibits angiogenesis. It has about 15 percent CBC, which causes the pop ptosis, and then it has the Terrapins like the limonene, which I was talking about. Now, if you go and you just go by CBD oil off the shelf, that's going to have less than zero point one percent CBG. So there's hardly any trace trace amounts. And so when you go from smoking cannabis or whatever and having just trace amounts of these great cannabinoids and you go and you have something like areso that has 20 percent, you know, that's a big jump and that's going to make a big difference. So I honestly think as time goes on and we research more and more, they're going to see that it's the minor cannabinoids and not as much the THC. You don't need to get high. And, you know, like like you said, you know, with the R, so it was so high that you can't even do anything. You don't need that. You just need the other cannabinoids and let them do their job and they'll take care of the cancer. You don't need the crazy amounts of THC.
Speaker1:
I love it. And Lisa agrees. She feels better just listening, she said. And you know, normally the show runs an hour and I know you're on the East Coast. There are there are several things I'd still like to address, but I totally want to be respectful of your time. Chris, are you willing to go a little bit longer?
Speaker3:
Yeah, I'm fine. Yeah.
Speaker1:
Ok, fantastic. Because I got questions coming in, I think that are important to address for people that are watching and listening. Jason, that's my good buddy says, can you help treat high blood pressure with this?
Speaker3:
Actually, yeah. So there was a new cannabinoid and this is why it's important to stay up on the latest research and whatnot. It's probably the second newest cannabinoid that they just discovered probably about four months ago that was called CIBM Cannabis Movement. And that was actually discovered by some Italian scientists out of Harmony Italy. And that actually came from a strain of hemp called Carmenere. And that, you know, that cannabinoid CBM actually can control your blood pressure. It can regulate your a one second can help regulate your metabolism. And that's just the newest cannabinoid. But also going back to what we know already, you know, that everybody knows about. CBD and whatnot, the main purpose of taking CBD is to promote homeostasis in your body is promote balance. So when you start taking CBD, like somebody might take CBD for paint, you know, they got a bad elbow or something. And after a month of taking it, oh, they go to the doctor's and they're able to see count in their blood pressure is much better. So it just it. Balances out everything in your body. That's what your endocannabinoid system is, therefore it's there to just keep everything balanced in your body and you'll see that, you know, you'll have a lot of unexpected outcomes, not bad good ones.
Speaker3:
You know, you when you take different cannabinoids, you're going to start experiencing things that you didn't even know that was wrong. You know, like you might start, you know, sleeping better. You might feel that. You might not think that you sleep, that you might think that you sleep fine at night, but then you start using CBD for pain or something like that, and you start sleeping better. You start having more vivid dreams because you're getting into that deep into that REM sleep phase. And then you wake up feeling less groggy because, you know, in REM sleep is when your body repairs itself the most. And so, yeah, there's a lot of stuff that cannabinoids can help with. I mean, with the term things that I have and the cannabinoids that I have and all these different supplements and vitamins and whatnot, I can basically put together combinations to treat almost anything. And I pretty much have done that. That created quite a bit different ailments.
Speaker1:
That's phenomenal. And yeah, Jason said lower blood pressure, more sleep. Who doesn't want that?
Speaker3:
Exactly. Yeah, especially our lead times with covid and everything. You know, it's a crazy time. Everybody has anxiety right now. Everybody's having trouble sleeping. Everybody's having high blood pressure, you know, so everybody could use some of these custom formulas, maybe even make one called a million plus, which is an immune boosting formula. And, you know, I make those different formulas, but. I can actually take with each one like so like I told you, I have the rest formula, for example, that helps you sleep and then I have the immune. Plus I can combine those two together because everything's handmade and made to order. So when somebody contacts me and says, hey, I need to sleep better, but I also want to boost my immune system, I can combine two things together. And now they have their own custom formula.
Speaker1:
There you go. There they are right here on his website. There's a million plus and Scott, relax, rest and revive. So I'm guessing Restitched help you get to sleep revived.
Speaker3:
If you look at my reviews on Google and my reviews on Facebook and stuff. It almost looks like the rest is all I make because, you know, so many people are reviewing that one because it is my number one selling premade formula. You know, when I say premade, just like, you know, one that has a set, you know, set ingredients to it. I do sell those worms online and I do have wholesale contracts with other other stores and stuff, and that's how they can carry my product because obviously they can't just carry a bunch of different ingredients and make stuff up as people come in. So I had to come up with a few that people could put on the shelf, and I'm actually up to 10 different formulas now. I have the pet formula and see PET, which is comes in bacon and chicken. I have a Delta eight formula. We touched on Delta AT&T, didn't we, Brian, before we did.
Speaker1:
When we were talking about on the show.
Speaker3:
Yeah, not on the show. So you know, when you use cannabis, when you smoke a joint or eat an edible, you know, whatever your, you know, form of intake is, the main cannabinoid that most people are after is Delta nine THC. That's your quote unquote, everyday THC. And that's what gives you that psychoactive feeling. So, you know, that euphoria and. There is another there's multiple different types of THC that a lot of people don't know about. Now in my formulas, I use Delta eight THC and also I've just started using Delta 10 THC. Now, those are actually made through a conversion process that they don't really occur naturally. They do in very, very small, small amounts. But if you want actual usable amounts of Delta eight or Delta 10, you have to convert it to a chromatography. And what that so Delta eight THC has all the medicinal benefits of Delta nine THC, but none of the drawbacks. And so, you know, Delta 1980, when people smoke a joint or whatnot, you know, they can get paranoid, they can get anxiety, it will exacerbate nerve pain. Sometimes they can actually inhibit REM sleep. Delta eight doesn't do any of that. And it's about 10 to. Depends on how it's formulated, but it can be between 10 and 30 percent less psychoactive. So it doesn't hit you in the face. You know, it's a very subtle high. It's clearheaded, it's focused. And honestly, I prefer it more than Delta Nine. I look at it like Delta eight is more medicinal and Delta nine is more recreational because with Delta eight, I can formulate that in somebody's tincture to not produce any type of euphoria, but give them all the same medicinal benefits from Delta nine. And you can't really do that without the THC.
Speaker1:
And so quick question on Delta eight, will that show up on a drug test for those that need to be worried about that?
Speaker3:
Yes, it will. So when they do a drug test or THC, they're looking for the metabolites of THC. They're not looking for Delta Nine itself. So when you ingest Delta, it metabolizes exactly the same as those in.
Speaker1:
Ok, so just good for people to know in case they are frequently given drug tests at work or or whatever. So just to know that and then for questions like that and how to use alternative approaches, reach out to Chris. I know you'll have different ways to attack this and make it work for you. Here's a great question from Lisa Testa again. How long does it seem to take for the supplements to begin working? I like how she called it supplements, isn't it? Yes.
Speaker3:
So I have know different strength formulas when I make custom formulas for people, I like to either do fifteen hundred MG base formula of CBT or a three thousand base formula. Reason for that obviously is because I, you know, I believe that you should have CBD in there, but also I have to put a milligram number on it. That's how people shop. You know, they want to see how many milligrams is now, even if it's just fifteen hundred or three thousand, that's not the final number because I might have three thousand milligrams B CBD, but then I had five hundred milligrams of CBG or two hundred milligrams of Delta, 88 C. But regardless, anyways, back to what I was saying with the three thousand milligram formula, which is what I recommend to most people, you would take that twice a day for five days and after those five days, your CV two receptors in your endocannabinoid system would be full and that's when you would get the maximum efficacy from it. But you would start noticing the difference after the first couple of days, probably two days, you'd start noticing. It really depends on what you're using it for you. If you're using it for something like anxiety, you might notice a difference right away after about 10 minutes, if you're using it for something that's, you know, systemic throughout your entire body, like autoimmune, like Crohn's, that might take, you know, five or six days before you start noticing a small difference. And it might take a full month before you start noticing a big difference. It depends. And then on top of that, everybody's different. Everybody takes things different. It metabolizes different. You've got to try it yourself. But I usually use the five day mark. As you know, when you're CBT, receptors will get saturated.
Speaker1:
So I use this as a rule of thumb, tell me if this is good or not, but I always tell people after what I've researched and listen to you, it's to give it give it 90 days to fully start realizing there's a change going on. Because like you said, some are internal and it's more difficult to realize something's happening with that woman. Of course, it's pretty visual, but not one's condition is externally. It's not something we can prove or say. Yep, it worked under the shadow of a doubt. It could be. Well, I started. I started. I stopped drinking soda. So maybe that's why I feel better. Maybe it wasn't, you know, so I just don't give it ninety, ninety days. Seems to be a sweet spot for everything in life, business, everything. What do you think. Too long to give it a go or.
Speaker3:
No, definitely. Like I said, you might start treating like four. For example, say you start taking it for anxiety. And you start noticing the difference right away, but if you start taking it the whole time, all the way for 90 days, by the time you get to that 90 day mark, you're going to notice that it did this, this and this that you didn't even know it could. Do you know why you're going to notice that my knee doesn't hurt anymore or, you know, it's going to have all these great unintended side effects that are good side effects? Not bad.
Speaker1:
So some benefits. We call it the side benefits.
Speaker3:
Yes. So, yeah, definitely. You know, like I said, you know, certain things are systemic. You know, certain things are just, you know, like very easy to treat very quick. But, yeah, definitely give it a fair shake. You know, give it a little time to work throughout your body and you'll definitely won't be let down.
Speaker1:
And for those of you that are on medication, just think of the the future of this for yourself. Maybe after three months, you can wean yourself off those medications. And what is the price difference? Think about cost, you know, two hundred a month versus what are you paying for multitudes of medications. Even if you do have insurance that as a copay still can't be a considerable amount of money above and beyond a measly. I mean, what do we spend on coffee a month? I don't I haven't quantified it, but probably up there we get and coffee. We probably spend easily one hundred bucks a month for coffee. We drink a lot of it. We love it, but it's a more than one person drinking. But if you lose perspective, this is your health. This is your is your everything. No question this is a human script, but a question from a friend in the room, can you drink beer and take this, too?
Speaker3:
Absolutely. Yeah, actually. So that's actually funny. One of the turbines that I use is called Human Lead, and that's also found in hops. So that actually what that does the proper medicinal properties of human gene is that it's twenty three times more effective as an anti inflammatory than anything that's sold over the counter. So it will give you all those antiinflammatory properties without damaging your liver. And when I'm talking to people that want a consultation about arthritis or pain and joint pain, things like that, I tell them about Humulin and then I say, have you ever seen an older gentleman, maybe, you know, 70, 60, 70 or whatever? And he probably has pretty bad arthritis or something. And he might have one or two beers. And after he has those two beers, he limbers right up. And a lot of people will think right away that it's the alcohol. But really it's, you know, the hops, the Humulin playing a big role in bringing down his information.
Speaker1:
Wow. And I know I know Jason personally. He does not drink. And he just sent this next comment and celebrations in the room erupting now.
Speaker3:
So I get that Humulin.
Speaker1:
So before we call it a night, there was another thing that we talked about, you and I on the phone that I found so intriguing. And that was this is a miracle plant. That's what I'm calling it. It's a miracle plant. I had no idea. I mean, the only thing people think about or know about the negative side of it is marijuana is illegal. Well, it used to be in most states, it's federally illegal. But the other things that can do beyond just helping us internally, directly. You called it a bio accumulator and talked about how it was used in the farming industry. Is that do I have that right?
Speaker3:
Yeah. So actually, it cannabis or hemp either doesn't matter. I mean, basically the same thing, you know, when you say hemp, really all that is, is cannabis that has been bred to have very low THC and high CBD, unless you're talking about industrial hemp that's made for grown for fiber and whatnot. But even that when people plant that in their fields, it's actually a bioaccumulate or you can also call it a fight over a mediator. So it actually sucks up whatever is in that soil. So any heavy metals, any toxins, and it cleans the whole soil, cleans the whole field. So, you know, back in the day, farmers after, you know, every couple rounds of corn or wheat or whatever, they were growing, they would grow hemp for six months and clean their fields and then they'd have nice clean soil again and they planted start planting their crops again. And I was telling Brian that, you know, that big nuclear meltdown in Japan, the way they're cleaning that up, you know, because all the radiation spilled over into the Pacific Ocean, they're actually making manmade islands with him, planting hemp all over the islands and then pushing them out to sea. And that is sucking up all the radiation. And I mean, then you have irradiated plants. So they have to dispose of those. But that is the reason why most people tell you, and I would tell you, too, is that you always want to make sure that any CBD or any cannabinoid product you get is manufactured in the US, you know, grown and processed in the US and also grown organically because you get stuff that comes out of China and stuff. You could be getting irradiated. You could be getting something that's grown in a field that has lead and mercury or, you know, you never know. And you could be doing it a lot more harm than good. So you want pure clean, have great point.
Speaker1:
And then you also say that the farmers that that was banned, that they could not do that for some time.
Speaker3:
Oh, yeah, definitely. So it was banned back in the good and the actual years slipping me. But they banned it back in the 40s, I'm pretty sure. And then they brought it back during World War Two for Hemp for Victory, which they were. Allowing people to grow hemp again, to make money, textiles and whatnot, and then they took it away and then back into twenty eighteen, they made it legal again. But I actually attribute all this stuff like people, you know, these these ailments and illnesses that are becoming more prominent, things like autism or Crohn's and SILLIAC little things that you didn't really hear about 60 years ago. It's because back then farmers were growing hemp and the animals on their farm were eating the hemp. And then we were either eating the animals or drinking their milk and we were getting cannabinoids. Now that farmers weren't doing that for 60, 70 years, we weren't getting any cannabinoids. And a lot of this information and research out of Israel, they think that a lot of these new ailments that are popping up, being becoming so prevalent are because of a deficient endocannabinoid system.
Speaker1:
I find this so incredibly interesting. It's I mean, with all the evidence and we could go on forever and I'm scrolling through, I took I don't know how many pages of notes when you and I spoke. So I've been scrolling through those as we're talking. There's so much more. Oh, there's also, you know, there's oil that you ingest through your under your tongue. You just let it sit there for two seconds. Forty five seconds, 30 seconds, whatever. There's also a topical that helps with pain and it's CBD laden with CBD. Look it's got eighteen hundred. Is that eighteen hundred milligrams.
Speaker3:
Three hundred milligrams of CBD, 500 milligrams of CBG, two hundred milligrams of Delta. Eighty two. So you see how it says eighteen hundred on the label but it's really twenty five hundred milligrams of that. And then there's you know, proprietary blend of turbine's twenty seven essential oils, arnica and calendula for mussels, camphor and capsicum for warming, menthol crystals for cooling and even a little bit of light pain for numbing the pain.
Speaker1:
I mean, come on, ladies and gentlemen, you know you know, this guy was pretty intelligent, you know, when you find out he's got a master's degree, right. And it doesn't even matter what the masters degree is in, that takes some serious work. And it takes, you know, in my estimation, above average intelligence. I'll just say that. And so, yeah, you're you're an amazing guy, Chris. And what you did was I am so blessed to have crossed paths with you. And the way I found you was bye bye. Little accident. I thought another organization and I was referred to by a friend, he goes, Oh yeah, I know who that is. After I researched someone from Massachusetts, it wasn't the same person. It was you thank the Lord because you have taken this to a much more extreme level. And I want to get the word out about you. And by the way, everyone watching stick with us. We have two gifts to give you, and I'm going to do that right now. But I wanted to set something up real quick, Chris. Yeah, every person I bring on this show, they're all entrepreneurs. They're very successful. And success is is a word. And what I want to do is I like to ask every single one of them the same exact question to close out the show. And it's a very powerful question, not because the question itself, but the answers that I get in return and I can't wait to unload it on you. And I mean that in a nice way. Don't worry, it's not a big deal. You're going to love it and you're going to crush it on the answer because. Because you will I just know who you are real quick, the giveaways. So let's start off with that five nice day at a five star luxury resort, compliments of the big insider secrets, dotcom and a little secret.
Speaker1:
That's my good buddy, Jason Nast's, who's been on here commenting throughout this evening. He's always supported myself. My business, my family has an amazing dear friend of mine. And look, he's giving away on behalf of him because of his company. We can give this away to you. A five minute vacation stay. So if you have a cell phone handy, pull it out right now and take out your fire up your messaging app where you would text message someone and I'll bring up the information on the screen. And what you want to do is where you would put in the name of the person you're going to text to. Instead, put in this phone number, it's three one four six six five one seven six seven. Again, it's three one four six six five one seven, six, seven. And then we're where you would actually type in the message, you know, that's where you put your emoji, stuff like that, that no emojis just put in two words separated by a dash or a hyphen, if you prefer. The two words are peak. That's OK. Dash vacation, peak dash vacation. Go ahead. Do that right now and then watch your phone. You'll get an automated response asking you for your email address. Once you supply that, our system will then instantly enroll you and put you in to a random drawing and we will announce it later this evening. Who has won that wonderful gift? And thank you again, Jason Narced and the big insider secrets dot com for that amazing gift. And then there's this amazing dude next to me who has also offered something up to you. Remember that, Chris?
Speaker3:
Yeah. So I will offer a bottle of my arrest formula. I find that that just can apply to everybody. Everybody needs a little help sleeping once in a while. So I'll be giving her a bottle of formula. Three thousand milligrams of that. Five hundred milligrams of and which is the sleepy cannabinoid in lower doses. It's great for anxiety and I also know the whole ingredient list and whatnot. And then, you know, if everything goes good from there, we can create a custom formula.
Speaker1:
Sweet Jason wants it. He also said he's also known as the big insider. And to do that, they need to email you. Is that correct? One person, one lucky person will become the winner of that. I'll put that on the screen. And so you what you want to do is email him Chris, at Fassel Fera dot com and thisll is spelled t h i s t l e and then t h e r a so short for therapy dot com Chris with a c h. Got to put that in there too. Could be a K right there, Cringle. So definitely email him and maybe just put mind body business or the mind body business in the subject line. And that way he knows that you're entering to win and just say pick me.
Speaker3:
How's that.
Speaker1:
And then, Chris, I would love for you to let me know who won that so we can also shout that you don't show because, look, it's two hundred dollars, but it's worth more than that by far. Its weight in gold by far. It's not only going to help cure you, but it's made with absolute love and care by this amazing guy. And I'm not joking around that that is amazing how much his passion shines through and what he does to help you and everyone else. It just warms me all over to know that there are people like this in this on this earth who are out there helping people is not in it for the money. My vantage point is I want him to make an insane amount of money. Why? Because he can then take this operation, scale it and spread it far and wide, faster than he ever could ultimately. And I know that's how he will take. You know, Chris, you have my permission and everyone else has to make a boatload of money. Enjoy yourself. Take some time off. Go get a super car, whatever, whatever floats your boat because you deserve it for all the people you're helping more than anybody. Most people on this planet, you deserve that. And so please make a ton of money and we'll do anything we can to help you get there so that you can continue this well into the future. Well, after you're even on this planet and I'm on this planet, let's keep this this gravy train rolling and get people off of their medication, more importantly, healthy, and keep them alive for their loved ones and for friends and associates.
Speaker1:
So I can't thank you enough. And we do have that question. I didn't forget about it. So let's look at the issue, OK? Here is how we're going to end the show. And thank you so much for staying on an extra half hour. My gosh. And we need it to happen. Yeah, this was big stuff. And I can't wait to share the aftermath of this with the videos, the podcast. We're on twenty five podcast platforms, so definitely share share this in any way, in every way you can, those of you that are watching or listening, because we need to get the word out about this thare dot com Chris thisll and everything that's going on here. All right. Regarding that question. So the thing is, Chris, it can be a little bit personal. And the good thing is there's many good things about it. But one of the good things is there there's no such thing. As a wrong answer to this question, it flat out does not exist. It's impossible to answer it incorrectly because the exact opposite is the truth, isn't that is the only correct answer. Is yours, if that's the only part that makes it personal. Cool. Yeah, so if you're ready. Are you ready, they're ready. All right, here we go. Chris, thisll. How do you define. Success.
Speaker3:
I would say the number of people killed. Definitely, I know I'm successful when I have carried a bunch a bunch of bunch of people. I'm just getting started and I want this to be spread onto every continent if possible, and just treat all the different ailments that, you know, present themselves in front of me. And that will be success.
Speaker1:

Appreciate you, Chris, for those of you again watching. I just plead please share this. Please share this video, this podcast.

Narrator :
So, here's the big question. How are entrepreneurs like us, who have been hustling and struggling to make it to success, who seem to make it one step forward, only to fall two steps back. Who are dedicated, determined, and driven. How do we finally break through and win? That is the question, and this podcast will give you the answers. My name is Brian Kelly, and this is The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show.
Brian Kelly:
Hello, everyone, and welcome, welcome, welcome to The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show. Super excited for tonight's show. We have not just one, not two, not three, but four, four amazing guest experts who are joining me tonight right here on this very stage.
Brian Kelly:
They are waiting in the wings at this moment. So let's get busy. Shall we? The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show, that is a show about what I call the three pillars of success, and that came about as a result of my study of only successful people in the last decade or so. And these patterns kept bubbling to the top and those patterns being mine, which is mindset set. Each and every successful person, to a person, had a very powerful and flexible mindset. So I learned that and said," I need to implement that". Then body: body is about literally taking care of yourself. Through nutrition and through exercise, exercising on a regular basis, and again that was another pattern of very successful people and in business. These successful people had mastered the skill-sets that were necessary to create, maintain, and grow a thriving business. They're wide and varied. It's like marketing, sales, team-building, systematizing. It goes on and on and on, leadership. There's no one person, in my humble opinion, that could master every single one of these. All you have to do is master just one, and I actually mentioned one of those. It was in that list. I don't know if anyone caught that, but if you master just one of those skill sets then you're good to go. That skill set is leadership. When you've mastered the skill set of leadership, you can then delegate those skills off to people who have those skill sets. See where I'm going? Good. That's what successful people do; the ones that I studied, anyway, over the course of about 10 years. That's what this show's about. It's a show for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs. I got four guests waiting, and I'm not going to wait any longer. So, I think we should just bring them on. What do you think? Let's do it.
Narrator :
It's time for the guest expert spotlight, savvy, skillful, professional and deft, trained, big league, qualified.
Brian Kelly:
And there they all are. These amazing, beautiful guests on The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show. How are you all doing? Altogether, too. That was phenomenal, I love that. So real quick. All of you, I hope you don't mind for just a moment. I want to do some housekeeping? I wanted to mention to everyone watching here live. If you stay with us till the end, you can win a five night stay at a five star luxury resort. All compliments of our friends at The big insider secrets dotcom. You see them flying by on the bottom of the screen right now. It's an amazing, amazing vacation stay. Stay until the end, and you'll learn how you can enter to win that wonderful prize. We also have this. If you're struggling with putting on a live show, and it's overwhelming and you want a lot of the processes done for you while still enabling you to put on a high-quality show. And connect with great people like the ones we have tonight, and to grow your business all at the same time, then head on over to carpet bomb marketing dotcom. Carpet bomb marketing, saturate the marketplace with your message. One of the key components that is contained in the carpet bomb marketing courses, and this is one that you'll learn how to absolutely master, is the very service we use to stream our live shows right here on The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show. Over the course of the past, now it's over nine years, we have tried many of these, "TV studio solutions" for live streaming. I'll tell you right now, Stream Yard is the best of the best. It combines supreme ease of use along with unmatched functionality. So, go ahead. You can start streaming high-quality, professional live shows for free. Yes, I said it.

R-Y-P dot I-M forward-slash stream live. Fantastic. Now let's get to the real fun, and the fun is these amazing people. Dylan, Julie, Tim, Christian. How are you all doing tonight? Thank you for being on this amazing show. Yes. So, what I'd like to do is open it up. Let the folks get to know you just a little bit now. Ok, guys. We're talking sixty seconds or less. All right. Just lay it low here, but we'll just go and order. I usually go ladies first, but let's just go around the circle. It's easier for me who's running the show. So. That's what's important. Right? So, let's start with Dylan Shinholser. Go ahead. Take it away. Give us a little brief background about you, what you do, and your business.
Dylan Shinholser:
Yeah, absolutely. So like I said, my name is Dylan Shinhoser. I own a couple of different businesses. I'm owner of a company called, "Experience Events", which is event management. I'm also a director of business development at a virtual event, event ticketing, and virtual event platform called, "ViewStub". As well as a co-host of another show called, "Event Masters", where I just ramble all day, every day about how to produce better experiences. It's really all I know and love to do is events. That is my less than 60-second pitch about myself.
Brian Kelly:
That's a good one, too. I'll tell everybody I've spoken with you in person. We had a call some time ago, and this gentleman, Dylan, is made of integrity and great character. So, reach out to him if you need any assistance in any of the areas he talked about, or if you just want to say hi to a really great guy. Then get in contact with him, and at the end of the show, we'll go through that. Please. Somebody remind me if I forget how to contact each of you. Because that's very important to me. This is the reason I bring this show to the forefront. (It) is to bring people like you into the lives of those who may not know who you are yet, and even those that do, to experience even more of your brilliance, your experience, your knowledge, and your value. It's not about me. This is about you. Always, always. Every time. I have one guest, usually. I just feel like I'm in this big family right now. But let's keep moving. Julie Riley, amazing young woman. Take it away.
Julie Riley:
Yes. So, I am Julie Riley. I am the social media manager at StreamYard. The platform we're using right now. Prior to my time with StreamYard, I owned my own marketing agency. I've been in digital marketing since two thousand and seven. So the very, very early days of the start of it is when I jumped in(to) digital marketing, and I love just being able to help others succeed in their business.
Brian Kelly:
Fantastic, and I will also say that I have spoken with Julie in the past. Both through a typewritten chat form and verbally. I think it was Clubhouse first time, which was phenomenal. Yet another phenomenal person, incredible integrity, and character. And yes, you're going to notice there's a pattern about this with the remaining two. It's the same thing. Hopefully, we can get the last one to talk a little bit. That will be nice. I'm just having fun because we were having fun before the show started. The one smiling. The biggest down there with the green hood; not pointing anyone out or anything. Thank you, Julie, for coming on. Yes. These people, Julie and Christian specifically, I know Christians coming up here in second. They're non-stop. They don't stop working. It's evident because of the very software research we're using right now. It's of grand quality for a reason. It's because of people like Julian Christian who keep everything rolling smoothly on the back end. Dylan's there nodding his head emphatically because he gets it. It's a lot of work, and they're doing it masterfully and we appreciate you. All right. Enough of the favoritism here that felt like favoritism. Julie's our favorite. Timothy McNeely! My buddy, my friend from just a little north of where I reside. I believe. If I remember.
Timothy McNeely:
Central California, baby. Bakersfield. Yeah, my name is Tim McNeely. Today, so many dentists and driven entrepreneurs are just not sure if they're getting advice that really makes a difference for them. They may have a financial adviser who is giving them some advice on their investment portfolio, but they're not really sure that they're on the right track to really maximize their net worth outside of their business. That's what I help them do. Maximize your net worth so that you can keep taking care of the people you love, support the causes you care about, really make that difference in the world, and build an amazing life of significance. I love doing streaming because I get to talk to some of the best of the best out there and share the knowledge with the beautiful entrepreneurial community.
Brian Kelly:
I'll tell you something on a personal note as well. Literally, we talked earlier today, Tim and I, on a Zoom call. He just reached out to me and said, "let's catch up." I had him on the show some time ago as a single, solo guest, and he was phenomenal. We've just kind of maintained a relationship, a friendship ever since. He just wanted to reach out and say, "Hi" and "What's up? What do you want to talk about?" We just started talking about business and things. He gave me resources that will help me in my business, and hopefully, I reciprocated it somehow. I don't know if I did, but it is the people like Tim, like Julie, like Dylan, like Christian. That is the cloth that they are all cut from. They are here to help people. That's why I love entrepreneurs. I love all of you. I mean it. I do. I love you. You guys are amazing. I didn't even get a crack at a Christian on that one. Jeez, I mean... there we go. That's a little better, but I'm telling you, he's working on StreamYard our stuff right now as we're on the show. I mean, I'm.
Christian Karasiewicz:
I'm really trying not to, seriously.
Brian Kelly:
The founder Geige Vandentop. If you ever watch this, there's a message to you. Ease up on your people. Alright? Just having fun. Alright, Timothy, you're an amazing guy. Thank you for spending your valuable time and coming on here. As well as Dylan, Julie, and the ever so talkative one, Christian. I'm not going to attempt to say your last name. I'll let you take care of that one. Welcome to the show, Christian. Let's hear all about your brilliance.
Christian Karasiewicz:
Sure. Thanks a lot for having me. My name is Christian Kerasiewicz. I'm the content marketing manager at StreamYard. So, pretty much anything you see on our blog that we're going to soon be launching. I'm the mastermind behind that. So, I do that. In addition to that, I also host live stream reviews, a YouTube show. We also do on the StreamYard YouTube channel where we invite people on to talk about their live streams and help them work through some of their problems, some of their challenges that they might be having with getting community or building a show. Thanks a lot for having me. I appreciate it.
Brian Kelly:
Oh, my gosh. Thank you again, Christian, for your time and being here. I mean, he's literally building a blog while on a live show. I mean, that's a great thing. I'm not even kidding with this one. That is phenomenal. That is showing such dedication. So, it's more than that. It's passion. It's love. You know? What time is that where you are, Christian?
Christian Karasiewicz:
About 9 o'clock, or yeah... about 9 o'clock.
Brian Kelly:
(Nine o'clock) PM. Ladies and gentlemen, in case you're watching this recording. Yes. By the way, I'm going to be on twenty-five different platforms after this is over. So no pressure, but don't mess up. I'm just kidding. So, this is a phenomenal group of people, and I can't wait to dig in. Christian, just what you just said, what you do is right down the alley of what I was hoping to talk about tonight. It'll go organically, but I wanted to talk about... I mean, look at Julie, and look at Christian, and look at their images. Look at their video. It is gorgeous. Here, we'll start with a really gorgeous one first. Look at that. I mean. If there were nose hairs that weren't in place, we'd see them. That's phenomenal, and there is Julie. Wow. Very beautiful. Even more beautiful. I should just have her up like this all the time, and we can just talk in the background. Because, you know, maybe more people would come on. So, you guys have phenomenal camera setups, and here's one thing I always like to preach to those who are getting into the live streaming game. Does it take money? Yes, it does. It takes resources. It takes cameras, microphones, (a) computer, internet, good internet, fast internet, lighting, doesn't have to be fancy. What I always say though, is, do the best you can with the resources you currently have. OK, I wanted to start it off that way because what we're about to talk about with Julie and Christian is their cameras. They are top of the line. We're not talking a one-hundred or two-hundred-dollar webcam here. I like to let ladies go first. So, Julie, do you have a story when you first turned on your new camera versus when you had the webcam and what that looked like and felt like.
Julie Riley:
Oh, my gosh, I turned that camera on, and it was immediately noticeable (the difference). I actually did a live on my personal Facebook page where I logged myself in as a second user into StreamYard. I had my Logitech camera that I had been using up as a camera and then had my new one. So, I could do back and forth and show everybody the difference between the two. What an upgrade that was. The Logitech served me great for years. It didn't stop me from going live, but that upgrade was immediately like, "oh, I can never go back down now".
Brian Kelly:
So, that so that is one thing. Let's say you're on the road, and I can imagine at some point both you and Christian, maybe, you'll be sent on the road to maybe support conventions and things that are on the road. Now, you want to stream live, what are you going to do then?
Julie Riley:
Well, you know, the great thing about the Sony is (that) it's a small camera. Tripods, portable ones, are small. I can take it with me. If all else fails, and I'm either on my phone or I'm on my little webcam or even my built in webcam, it's not going to stop me from going live. Is it going to be exactly what I want? No, but more than likely I'll have the Sony with me.
Brian Kelly:
Thank you for saying that. I mean, that spoke such volumes. I hope people are taking notes that are watching. Definitely take notes on this. Because, look, the show must go on. That's what I say, and this show tonight is the result of a guest who unfortunately was ill and could not make it on. So, I scrambled and found these four wonderful people to say, "I'll come on and do a panel with you." And that's it. The show must go on, and I'm going to either do it with people or I'll do it solo. It doesn't matter. Consistency is key, and we can talk more about that, too. I love how you're just talking about, Julie. Where, look, I don't care where I'm at. If I've got something and it's my time to go live, and I don't have my gear. I'm doing it.
Julie Riley:
Right.
Brian Kelly:
I love that commitment. So, thank you for that. For everyone listening, that's important. Yes, quality is important. Like I said, do the best you can with what resources you currently have. That includes, wherever you are. You may have a DSL camera that Julie paid five-hundred thousand dollars for. Oh, sorry, it wasnt that much.
Julie Riley:
Thank God it wasnt that much!
Brian Kelly:
What was the model of that again?
Julie Riley:
A6000.
Brian Kelly:
What does it run about?
Julie Riley:
It was about seven hundred.
Brian Kelly:
OK, not too bad. A little bit less than five-hundred thousand. Not much but yeah.
Julie Riley:
Yeah.
It's a phenomenal thing, and I love that that's your attitude toward commitment. I'll tell you. You have a similar attitude...anytime I go and ask for support through the back side of StreamYard community. I mean, like through messaging. When I say the backside, that's sounded weird. When I ask for support, you're always there. I mean, you don't sleep, and I appreciate that. So, keep not sleeping for everybody's sake. Christian, you do the same. So, Christian, what about you? When you made that initial change from whatever camera you had before to this unbelievably clear one year look you're working with right now. What did that feel like the moment you saw a difference?
Christian Karasiewicz:
So, it's very interesting actually. So, this is actually what I was using before. I've been using this for quite a number of years. This is a Logitech Brio. It does do 4K. I invested in this one and eventually came out, and the quality was fantastic. The only thing was, though. I wanted to scale. So this was great for traveling, for example. This is what I took around with me. Super portable. It's got the ability to put it on a tripod. Fantastic, but it did not allow me to scale, so I had to always take up another USB port and all that sort of thing. When I moved to the Sony, the Sony looked very good. I will say the one thing you have to do, though, is you need to go through the settings. There are a few adjustments you want to change. That's what's going to actually enhance your picture quality of it. It's a fantastic camera. It's a Sony 6400. Then, really, the other side to it is also the lens. So I'm using a Sigma lens. So, that I think is the real big difference. I mean you have the kit lenses it comes with. I did make the investment in the the additional lens, which I think that's actually what's contributing to why it looks so good. I will say from a quality standpoint, again, start with what you have. You know, the key things for live streaming. Audio is going to be your most important part. Then also, if you, for example, are using one of these webcams, make sure you have enough light. These things look great with a lot of light. When you don't have a lot of light, you're going to see pixelation. You're going to see distortion and things like that. So, turn it back to you.
Brian Kelly:
Especially with light, if you turn on the green screen feature, you really need to have good lighting then. That's the biggest time. I'm so glad to be liberated from that. Even though I loved it. This is actually a natural well behind me. I painted the entire studio. I actually occupy my daughter's former bedroom. I've been here for four or five years now, and I finally got rid of the cartoon drawings and the yellow paint. I'm a real boy now. I have a real studio. This is awesome.
Christian Karasiewicz:
That looks really good by the way. I was very surprised (by) your background because that looks like one of the standard backgrounds people would normally bring up during a live stream. One that has, you know, the gradient going around the outside. So, whoever did the painting on that fantastic job.
Brian Kelly:
Why, thank you very much. My wife did most of the work to be honest, but I feel like that helps with that. Yeah.
Timothy McNeely:
If you want that comparison between cameras. Right. Christine was just talking about the Logitech Brio. That's what I'm on, and you can see the massive quality difference between Kristen and Julie versus the webcam. So. Right. (A) huge step up.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah, we'll point that out in glowing detail right now.
Christian Karasiewicz:
You're using a green screen. Right?
Timothy McNeely:
Yeah.
Brian Kelly:
Your sound, Christian, is smooth. I mean, you have a great radio voice. Having that microphone, I think will pivot to that too. Dylan, what are your thoughts on cameras? Yours looks actually really decent right now? You're on (a) green screen, correct?
Dylan Shinholser:
Correct. Yeah.
Brian Kelly:
It looks really clean. You've done a good job with all the lighting. It's almost like you've done this before, and you know what you're doing.
Dylan Shinholser:
I try. Yeah. So, I actually when I first started doing it, I started listening back on my phone. When this whole pandemic hit, I was using the one inside your laptop and realized very quickly (that) I'm on calls all day, live streaming shows and stuff. I was like, "I got to set my game up." So, I haven't made that leap yet to the DSLR, but I will. I'm on a Logitech, one of the models. I won't even lie because I'm not that tech-savvy. It was expensive for Logitech, so I bought it. I was like, "it's got to work." So, yeah. So, that's where I'm at. I agree heavily. I think it comes down to, because we get asked it and I know you guys get asked, it comes down to what you can afford at the moment. Then always trying to push the limits of production value. Right? My background was a wall. It was just like random yellow wall, and now I have a giant green screen wallpaper now. So, now, I can be wherever I want which is a concert. That's where I want to be, and that's where I'm going to be.
Brian Kelly:
You're the one on the stage, brother. Not the audience.
Dylan Shinholser:
No, I'm actually the guy behind the stage. I never want to be this. It's actually weird for me to be in front of people. I'm the guy behind the stage telling people to get on the stage.
Brian Kelly:
Pushing them forward. Well, you do a good job, Dylan. I wouldn't know any different. Maybe your calling is to step out from behind and be on front more often.
Dylan Shinholser:
We will see. Twenty twenty-one has a lot of stuff, and I've got a long way to go. I got super bored in twenty-twenty so I might as well talk.
Brian Kelly:
I've gotten to know you a little bit over time, and you've got a great personality. I think you need to shine in front of more people. That's my humble opinion.
Dylan Shinholser:
I appreciate that.
In the front, not behind the scenes. It's okay to be behind the scenes on occasion, but someone like you with your personality and your integrity, your character...get out there, buddy. It's a disservice if we don't get to see you. Let me put it that way.
That's what a mentor of mine said. He was like, "dude, you're actually being selfish by not talking more and getting it out." Because like I said at the beginning, I only want to help more people create better experiences and events. Make them flow better and make them more money as humanly possible. At the end of the day, I just want to travel the world with cool people and do cool things. I've learned a lot, and a lot of people need some of that experience. So, I got a stern talking to by one of my mentors. He was like, "dude..." I was like, "alright, it's alright. I promise." I started live streaming then had to get better cameras, better lights going on. It's crazy up here in my little command center of all these different lights, webcams, and monitors. Everything you need to do to pull these shows off.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah, I love it. Christian, go ahead.
Christian Karasiewicz:
So, I want to throw something in there real quick. We talked about various types of cameras. If you're just getting started, use that built-in laptop, the webcam. So then you can take it up a notch. You can go to the Logitech. The C922. That's about, I think, a 60 to 70 dollar webcam. So, don't overpay by the way. It's about 60 to 70 dollars. Get it from Logitec, probably. If you find an astronomical price on Amazon, move up to like the Brio, for example. If your budget allows it, that's about one hundred fifty dollar camera. Then move up to a DSLR. For example, Julie's got that, the Sony 6000. I would also say if you happen to have a smartphone, this can be used as a webcam. Essentially, if you think about it, this is a thousand dollar camera. Because you paid a thousand dollars for this device of sorts, and this will give you some phenomenal picture quality. If you already have a smartphone and you don't have to have the latest iPhone, it could be pretty much any iPhone and Android phone. You just need an app such as one called,"Camo." There's one called,"Erion." So, there are lots of apps out there. Don't think like, "hey, I have to now go drop a bunch of money." Look at the phones you have lying around. Those are going to be great ways to fix your picture quality.
Julie Riley:
I've been going live since 2015, and I only had this camera last year.
Brian Kelly:
That's it. You keep reinvesting. I had a good friend of mine who were business partners. He said, I'll never forget it,"sales drive service". When you're making money, you're able to invest. You're able to up your game, and I love that. So many great points. You can just set a phone on a tripod and your camera will look better than many people's webcams. For sure. One of the things that I would recommend, this isn't just a plug StreamYard, is to get at least get the free plan. Do they need any more than the free plan to be part of the community, Julie?
Julie Riley:
No. They can come to join the community even if they're just getting started into streaming. We do like everybody to have the free plan so they have an understanding, but we'll still let you in. Agree to the rules. That's the big thing. Yeah, come join the StreamYard community. It's really a "stream yard" community.
Brian Kelly:
It's a very valuable place because questions like what Christian just addressed are often asked (What do I need?). I'm just starting. I'm a newbie. I see that so much in there. What can you do to help with a camera or microphone or computer? You can go there if you have those questions and ask, and the community will fill in the blanks wonderfully well because they're a great bunch of people. Just like Tim down there who's gotten pushed to the side for a while. So, Tim, is this your first camera that you've been using for live streaming so far? Did you have one before it?
Timothy McNeely:
Yeah, right. I started with just an HD one. Right. Logitech and then jumped up to the Brio. Been happy with that so far. But, you know, it's interesting how the game keeps growing again. That's the thing, right? Just get started! Just do this. I started with just using zoom and recording those for my interviews, and then I realized (that) I need a better platform. I need a way to kind of do that live production. Now I'm doing Stream Yard and got intros. Just get started with whatever you've got and kind of build that proof of concept. You know, I recently just upgraded my lights because I bought the cheapest lights I could at first. I just wanted to do something, and done is better than not done a lot of times.
Brian Kelly:
I totally agree with everything you just said and like what Christian was saying. If you're going to put money into anything, make it the audio side of things first when you upgrade. I was fortunate. I started over nine years ago streaming live. This is a DSLR. Not a DSLR. Good grief, XLR microphone. It's old school. It's not even USB. So I plug it into a mixer board, and from there into my computer. I've used it for years. It's been just amazing. I've never had to do anything with my sound as a result. For you, there are great USB alternatives now. Oh my gosh, there are so many out there. Someone like Christian could probably point you in the right way. Someone like the StreamYard community could push you in the right way and tell you,"these are the ones". I have a connection with the guy who is a sound expert. I've never heard of this before. He has a studio that does 4D sound. I don't even know what that means. Four dementional?
Christian Karasiewicz:
Sweet.
I don't know what that means, audibly. He was telling me about speakers in the ceiling. I'm like, holy moly,. You don't need that obviously for a talk show like this, but think about the possibilities and have fun with it. The bottom line is, when you go on and go live. Enjoy yourself. I'm trying to do that a little bit with these fine people tonight. Thankfully, they're still here with me. I haven't upset them too great, especially Christian. I keep picking on him. Poor guy. I appreciate you all, and it's okay to have fun on your show. Would you guys agree with that? Is it okay to have a little bit of fun?
Julie Riley:
One hundred percent. If you're having fun, your audience is going to be having fun with you.
If you're not having fun... I don't believe in doing anything that I don't find fun. It's a life motto of mine. If I don't want to do it, I don't want to do it. Yeah. Like you said, Julie. If you're not having fun with it, then how in the world do you expect the viewers to want to have fun or engage or interact? It starts with you.
Brian Kelly:
Absolutely, absolutely. One of the things I wanted to pivot to is something I'm deeply interested in because the product that came up earlier when I did the quick ads spot. I like to solve the pain points that people are having in their live streaming experiences. I'm curious. I'll bet, Julie and Christian, you guys have seen and heard a lot about that. I actually had a team member of mine from my company put a poll up in the form of a meme, a graphic. What's the right word? I am having trouble with words these days. It's an infograph. That's it. Simple. I was a little bit shocked by the result, but I was just curious what you guys think. What are the biggest pain points you're seeing? (Either) that you're having individually. Tim, if you have that as well. Dylan as well. Dylan, you probably hear about a bunch of it as well. What are the pain points you are seeing come back over and over and over again? I'm having a horrible time trying to find another guest on my show if they're interview style, or the tech is just blowing my mind. Even though StreamYard is so simple. I'm having trouble with x, y, z. Let's just go around the horn. Dylan, if you don't mind, I put you on the spot. Can you think of any of those pain points that keep coming up over and over again?
Dylan Shinholser:
Yeah, absolutely. The biggest thing I see is they underestimate what it does take. I totally agree. Why I promote StreamYard to our clients and everyone I possibly can is because of the ease of use. People go into it and think shows are just like setting up the webcam, and they can be. Setting up the webcam and just talking. Right? There's a lot of back end stuff to this. These shows and I'm learning that as doing my own now. I'm like, holy cow, I'm about to hire fifteen people because this is absurd. But, yeah. I think that's the biggest thing that I see is underestimating it, but also at the same time, they overcomplicate it. They have to think (that) they have to have all these bells and whistles and seventeen thousand cameras and two million dollar microphones. It goes back to our first point of "just do it". It doesn't need to be overcomplicated, but understand going into it, there is some work that takes and understand that you do have to respect what it takes to put these on. At the same time, don't overcomplicate it. It's funny how people work. They overestimate or underestimate it, but then heavily overcomplicate it at the same time. I think that's the biggest one I see.
Brian Kelly:
I'm so glad you brought that up. I've said this so many times, people don't realize what goes on behind the scenes before the show even comes on live for that episode. The amount of time and effort. If you want to do a live show that's of quality and represent yourself and your brand in a way that you want it to be represented professionally. It takes a good amount of work for every single show. That's why I automated nearly every process (that) I use now. It took time to get there, but you can use a team. You can get a team. Like you said, Dylan, to also help out. For me, it's all about quality, and more time is spent before the show by far than the show itself. After the show is over, another good deal of time is spent. That is in the minor edits, the repurposing, the marketing, and everything else that goes beyond. The live show is this tiny window of time, and it's the fun is part of it by the way. When you have everything automated, the rest is not "not fun" because you're not doing it. It's all automated, but definitely great. Thank you for that. Julie, what has been some of the big p.. sorry to wake you up there. What have been some of the big pain points? You are wide awake. I just starttled you. You've seen over and over, I bet you've seen a bunch of them.
Julie Riley:
Oh, my gosh. So many, you know, especially because I'm approving all of the comments that are coming into the group. I think one of the huge ones is that the hesitation of people who believe that they have to have everything perfect. That they have to have all of the backdrops, the overlays, the banners, the super expensive microphone, and the super expensive camera. That they have it. The room behind them is messy. They haven't thought about turning to just a blank wall because they're like, "well, then I don't have a fancy studio set up." They get to this point where they're trying to create perfection, and perfection is a fairy tale. It doesn't exist. There is no such thing as perfection. There is, again, where Dylan said the overcomplicating it. They've got to really just slow down and go, "what do I need to get this process going?" What is the minimum to make it happen? From there, then I can then build on it, and build on it each week. Go, "okay, I got live. I got the first one out. I got the jitters out. I hate the way I sound." When I had my agency, I would tell my clients. They'd be like, "I can't stand the way I sound." I'm like, nobody likes the way (that) they sound. There's actually, and I say this all the time, there's a term for it that is a term for not liking the sound of your own voice. I tell people, you have to get over that fear. They're like,"I don't look good on camera, I don't know how to be on camera." The other thing I tell people is to set up a fake Facebook group with nobody else in it but you. Go live in there a bunch of times and just get those jitters out. Get that feeling of pressing the button and going live. Then invite your husband in, your sister, your mother, or whoever. Somebody so that you're talking to somebody. From there, build up each time. As we said with the cameras, again, you can you can slowly build. You can slowly add in the overlays. You can slowly add in the backgrounds.
Brian Kelly:
My goodness! I absolutely love it. I have my own Facebook group that I use just for that. Nothing more. I go in there, and I test things for StreamYard and other things in there. I go live in there because there's no substitute for going live. We've got more buttons to click, and things kind of change their arrangement just a little bit in the window. If you practiced it 20 times without going live, then you go live you're going to go, "what the heck just happened?" I don't know what I'm supposed to do now. That was perfect. Perfect advice. I love that. We've got a comment coming in or two or three. Yeah. Kelly, crucial. Kruschel. Sorry if I got that wrong.
Dylan Shinholser:
Kelly Kruschel. It's Kruschel. She said she's on my team. She's a friend. Hey, we've got a supporter.
Brian Kelly:
Love it. Love it. Then Fran Jesse, I know her. I'm getting ready to make my first video essentially input. Yeah. Reach out, Fran. We're friends. I will give you assistance in any way you want because this is the greatest this is the greatest avenue for media on the planet, in my humble opinion, for so many reasons. One is people get to see you. I love clubhouse. It's also phenomenal in different ways, but people get to see you. They get to interact with you. They can engage with you, and they get to see your essence. It doesn't cost you, the studio owner, studio time. If you do this in the old days when you have to go to a television studio and you want to do a show, it would cost you thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars just to use the studio. Let alone get the media time to put it up on a television station. We're living in wonderful times. It's the greatest time to be alive, in my humble opinion. I'm a tech geek. I'm not young anymore. I'm fifty six, but I can't wait for the rest of what my life has to hold. Yes. You're welcome, Fran. Any time. Wonderful. Wonderful. Alright. Where were we? I got all messed up and loving myself there. We're going to have fun. I'm being real. This is like... I don't know. I'm the most relaxed (that) I've been in a long time with everything that went on today. It was one of those weird, everything-going crazy days. I feel like I'm at home with you guys. That's why.
Dylan Shinholser:
It's been one of those years.
Brian Kelly:
Thank God that last one is over.
Dylan Shinholser:
Yeah, yeah. Sure.
Brian Kelly:
So, okay. Pain point. Let's go back around one more. Tim, what do you have?
Timothy McNeely:
Yeah. When I first started doing this, my whole goal was to get out there and to talk to the different experts in the different areas of the challenges that my my clients face. I started off as an interview show and just using Zoom to record the video. Then all of a sudden I had the video. Now I had to put an intro in. I had to put an exit in. I had to extract the audio so I could do the podcast. My team members and myself were spinning our wheels. Just trying to really kind of create a workflow around the creation of this content so we could get the message out and help people with their challenges. For me, all of a sudden, the revelation was (that) I can do this live. I can have people type in (and) ask comments as I'm doing the show. Not only that, from start to finish, I can produce the whole thing going live. Right? You go live. You can play an intro now. You can throw in little commercial breaks. You can throw in the outro, and then it's done. Download the audio. You throw it up, and now you've got your podcast. You don't have to upload video to YouTube and Facebook and LinkedIn. It's done for you now, automatically. So really my biggest pain point was just the production side of things and putting everything together so that I could keep talking to people and doing the fun part. Right? I don't want to get caught up in all the details of making this. I want to talk to people, learn, and share that knowledge. Really, a lot of the pain point, just using StreamYard has really been absolved because it's a turn-key easy to use platform.
Brian Kelly:
Amen to all of that brother. Here's the key for everyone that's ever going to do a live show or has done one. The most important part is that you show up and you be the talent. That means you need to be dedicated mentally toward what the task is at hand. If I have too many things going on, like production-wise, which I used to when I didn't automate things. That's in the back of my mind. Did I dot every "i"? Did I cross every "t"? What's going to screw up on this show? Versus showing up fully for my guest. Being there for them. Getting out of myself and my own business and being present for the other person, that's what I'm about. Lifting up the other people, that's what my show's about. It's important to me.
Timothy McNeely:
Actually, if I can touch on that talent piece, Brian? I think he brought something up so important for everyone listening to this. If you're doing any kind of a show where you're interviewing people, chances are (that) the person you're talking to (is) a little bit uncomfortable. Your job, as the talent, is to spend some time before the show really crafting what it's going to look like. What direction are you going to go in? You want to make that person you're talking to look like a star. The more you can rehearse with them and put them at ease, you're going to end up with a much, much better show. Because you've taken a little bit of time to make sure that (the) other person is going to shine just as bright as you do. So, take that time to work with your guests beforehand through interview guides, through little questionnaires. So that you can help prep them, to keep them on a thread, and you can really help them deliver their message. Most people are not trained professional speakers. They just aren't. I've hired some of the best speaking coaches to help me develop messages, stay on topic, and learn how to tell stories. People don't invest time, energy, and effort to do that. You can help them do that through a briefing before you start your live with them.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah. That's why I was saying before, I do a thirty-minute preshow. All of us were on here for 30 minutes getting to know each other, making sure all the tech was good, doing some checkout. You were talking about people being nervous and stuff. That's why I'm riding Christian so hard with all these jokes and stuff because it broke his nervousness. You can see his sweating. I am so kidding. This guy's raw. He's a rock. He's awesome. He's a pro. I love this guy, man. I always pick on the quiet ones. I don't know why that is. Christian, man, you're bringing massive value. All kidding aside, you're very experienced. You're matched for what you do. You've said already so many amazing things. What about you, brother?
Christian Karasiewicz:
I'd say this. I think a couple of the pain points. I think one is people want to ask, "how do I get better at my live stream?" I think (that) the first thing is practice. To Julie's point, I think you mentioned having overlays, backgrounds, and all this other stuff. Look at it like this. You want to show your audience as well while you're helping them. You're doing this with them. You have everything at the same time, and you're trying to make everything perfect. Your audience is going to be like, "I'm not going to stick around this person because they've done such a good job already. I won't ever get to that point". They start having that self-doubt. The key thing is going to be practice. You don't have to have every single one of the overlays. Maybe start with the the intro or the thumbnail, and maybe you have an outro for example. (Those are) the first two things you do. As you build the show, then you can add segment graphics. You can add videos. So, you can scale it, but you don't have to have so much at one time because then it's just too overwhelming. That's point number one. Pain point number two is that people, for some reason, think that they're going to immediately be able to monetize their live stream. I say pain point because everybody's like, "oh, I bought all that equipment." Now, you've got to figure out how to pay for all that equipment, you know? If you're struggling already with your business and growing it, then you're not going to immediately monetize live stream. You have to have an audience. You know, you have to build that community. When you go live, they're tuning in because (of) the social platforms. They want to see that you're bringing viewers, they want to see engagement. So, point number two is monetizing your live stream. There are ways to do that, but don't always set out with monetization being number one. It could take a couple of years to monetize. So, get started. Build on it, then make those investments as your business is growing. Yes, mic drop. Yes.
Dylan Shinholser:
Do you have that mic? Just a mic drop? Because I might need to get one.
Brian Kelly:
It's actually super.
Dylan Shinholser:
Yeah, super real.
Christian Karasiewicz:
That's pretty cool, actually.
Julie Riley:
I like that.
Brian Kelly:
It's actually part of a magic trick that you put in a paper bag. It's a long story, but I found one more affordable that would not break my keyboard because that's what it landed on. You didn't hear it. Oh, my gosh. Golden nuggets there, as usual, from Christian who I give a lot of hard time to. I'm going to stop because you're amazing dude, and I don't want to get mad at me. I want you to be my friend. So many great things. So, you said two years. I was like, wow. I was watching an interview. How many of you have heard of Lewis Howes? Former professional football player and turned incredible entrepreneur. He's all over the place. He was being interviewed, and the guy interviewing him asked him a question. He said, "so, Lewis, if someone came to you, and they were talking about the fact they wanted to start a podcast. Now, we're talking just the audio version. That's what a podcast really is for everyone that may not know it's audio-only. Not video, even though they're going that way." He said, "well, here's what I'd tell them. First, you got to actually be consistent. Whenever you decide to do it, do it at that same day and that same time every week or multiple times a week. Whatever that happens to be. Number two, more importantly. You must commit yourself to doing that for at least, the magic number, two years. If they are not willing to do that, I would tell them, don't even get started." We didn't talk about monetization. None of that was discussed during this Q&A. That was telling. Who was I talking about this earlier with earlier today? It's not necessarily about monetizing. It's about building your platform, and I wanted to add to that. It took me in two years. I was just hitting that moment in time of my live show. That's when the momentum started. He was spot on, and so are you, Christian, about the two years. Then using a certain strategy (that) I use, I continually ask for referrals in a certain way. I eventually landed the one and only Les Brown. Some of you know who that is. Some of you don't. I've noticed some don't and Im like,"what rock are you living under?" He's amazing, and he's been on my show. Because of that, the two-year commitment is my point. Not talking about monetization. Then what I found after doing this for two years and striving for excellence all the time in every facet, I'm talking about the preshow communication with upcoming guests and the setup and the prep that they all go through and my system makes sure they do. The show itself and then after the show, all the post-production, everything that goes into it. Once you have that, people notice and my show, without my intending it to be, became an incredible, powerful lead magnet for my business. Focus, just as Christian was stating so properly, does definitely, positively impact your business. If you do it right. You do it high quality, and again, within reason within the resources you have. Go ahead, Christian.
Christian Karasiewicz:
I was going to say. That's another point that people look at, and they want to generate revenue off of it. That revenue may not be actual money upfront. It may end up being (help) (to) drive more leads to my website. It's not necessarily driving more people to my social channels. You're following is... It's OK. That's not going to necessarily grow your business because you had five more followers on Instagram or something like that. It's potentially getting them back to your website, which can be an opportunity for them to schedule a coaching call with you, maybe buy a product from you, learn from you for example. You're not going to get every single person to become a customer, but you're going to be able to use it to generate more leads.
Brian Kelly:
Totally, totally true.
Dylan Shinholser:
That's why I do it.
Brian Kelly:
You see on the top of this screen "streaming live on" and then five. We're doing it to eight right now or seven right now. "Listen-on" down below. On the bottom, there's actually twenty five of those like us could fit them all. Roku now was on Fire TV. Look, you're not making money from those, but here's what happened. How many of you have heard of Kevin Harrington? Shark Tank? Original Shark Tank? He has a partner named, "Seth Green", and they do a podcast together. They've been doing it for years now. They have five-hundred plus episodes. We got introduced, Seth and I. I met Kevin. We shared the stage once. I'm not name-dropping, but yes, I am. It was awesome, and it was fun. Seth reached out. We were connected by someone else. We were introduced, and Seth did his own homework. He came back, we literally talked on Zoom, and he says, "wow, I did some research. I looked you up and, my God, you're everywhere." I just wanted to say, "yeah, that's right." So, you want to get out there. That's why, shameless plug, I call it, "carpet bomb marketing". You saturate with everything you've got within reason. Right? If you can automate it, it can be near or completely free. So just do it. Why not add it to your arsenal? So, it works. Just be consistent to a minimum of two years. Get in touch with people like Julie, Christian, Tim, and Dylan. You might make that even quicker than two years. I'll direct you to the shortcuts that many of us did by trial and error.
Timothy McNeely:
Touching on the monetization piece, a good friend of mine runs one of the top coaching consultancies out there. Right. Very, very successful. Runs a great podcast, great show. I ask him one day. I said, "have you need any money doing your podcast?" He thought for a second. He says, "naw, I've actually lost money doing it. The relationships that I've made...I've made millions off (of) that." If you approach it from that standpoint... There's different goals, but I always approach, you know, what's the end result? What are you looking for out of your show? Why are you doing it? That's how you can measure the success of it. Is it helping you achieve whatever goals you set for yourself?
Brian Kelly:
Totally agree. It's very similar. Isn't it? To writing a book? I'm holding up another namedrop. Yes, it's very similar to writing your own book. Because a lot of people want to write a book and make a living off of the sales of the book. I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, most of the time it just doesn't happen that way. If anyone comes up to you and you're talking to them... During the course of conversation, maybe you ask them what they've been up to? Or, hey, I've authored a book. The moment they say that, in your eyes, do they not lift up in an influence in your mind? Right then and there? Instantly. It builds authority. That's exactly what this live show, and live shows like it, are doing. When you're giving evidence of it by spitting it out to all of these platforms, there's no way people can't find you and know that you're serious. You know, it's showing that you have a commitment level. It's showing that you have a quality level of professionalism. It's not about the show itself. It's like, well, if I do business with that person, or will I... Will I want to do business that person? If they're professional. Yes. If they put on a shoddy show, they might give me shoddy service. If I do business with them. Does that make sense? People want to (be) representing yourself in the best. Do it the best you can, but do it. Please, don't delay. Don't try to be perfect. You heard everybody talk. Go ahead, Dylan. You had something?
Dylan Shinholser:
Well, yeah. There's indirect ways to make money with shows, live streams, and of course direct (ways). Right. Direct is selling sponsorships, ad-space, all that good stuff. The indirect monetization is so much more powerful. When I do shows or when I hop on shows or anything, it's literally just to build a top-down awareness of myself. I just want people to know what Dylan Shinholser is. Then that way, because I do multiple things, I'm never trying to sell one product at any given time. I'm trying to sell myself, and what it does is it gives me that outlet to do it. Then if you're hosting a show. Right? This maybe goes into some other topics around how to market and things like that. It's a powerful relationship tool because when you can open your platform to other people that you're looking to connect with. I'm in the business of working with influencers and throwing their events. Well, the best way to connect was get them on my show. It gave me a reason to reach out that wasn't pitchy or sales. It was more or less. Hey, man, I just want to give you an outlet, because I think what you talk about is cool. Tell my people about it. After the show, I was like, "hey, man, what are you doing next Tuesday? I need a speaker." Or "hey, man. I have some ideas (that) I want to pitch you or (some) things. They're more receptive. So, I always do shows and things not about the direct money I get, but the indirect thing. It's the indirect impact that I get from relationships, or people sharing my stuff out and people go, oh man, he sounds semi-intelligent unless they're watching this. Then then they'll go, okay, great. Let me go over to this platform that he runs with this business that he does or whatever because he sounded halfway intelligent on that show. Right? So, I think the indirect monetization is what most people don't... They don't get that the instant gratification of like that five thousand dollars sponsorship check. When I forgo that and go on to bring on much more money on the backend with the people I connect with, in the top influence that I get.
Brian Kelly:
The magic word there was "relationship".
Dylan Shinholser:
Relationships all day, every day. That's all I do- is build relationships, and how can I do it? Do more shows like this. Can I get it out? You're on like forty-two different podcast or outlets here, right? Every one of those. Every time you put a show on it, you're building a relationship with someone on that platform. Even if it's just you talking, and they're listening. You're building that relationship. Everything (that) I do, is built on: how can I develop relationships? Live streams is just an amazing way to do so.
Brian Kelly:
Posting them is one thing. Right? That's a great thing. What I learned through a podcasting expert friend of mine is the maybe not as equally important, but possibly greater importance, is getting on other people's shows. That includes audio podcasts only. He explained how his business skyrocketed when he did what he called, "podcast guest marathons". He would have someone get him booked in his team. He would carve out three days and just say get as many as you can for me. He'd do that. Then when they ask him about how to get in contact with him... This is the gold right here... It's not go to my Facebook page and look up my name and message me. He would tell them to go to his podcast website and from there to subscribe. Now he's building a following. It's genius. It's so genius. I just want to impart that. The cool thing, though, is when you're hosting a high-quality live show that opens the door for you to be a guest on many more.
Dylan Shinholser:
Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Being a guest is what goes back to the authority building. Right? If I can build my authority, I build my influence. If I do have something to sell... If I'm trying to build my brand or whatever it is or I'm just trying to get to as many people as possible to talk about events with them... That authority I call it, "authority hacking", being able to get them on your show. That'll get your show in front of their audience, and then going on to other shows helps you develop your authority. It's like writing a book. I was I'm a guest on this show, this show, this show. It's like writing a book. Your authority starts to become a little bit more when you're leveraging their influence. Right? When you're a guest on the show, if that show has a following, you becoming a guest on that show gives you authority because now you have the validation of the host that everyone is following and love. So, I can authority hack by getting on other people's shows.
Brian Kelly:
It leverges. You have a whole new tribe watching and interacting with you as well. I mean, this is one of the most powerful things people can use. If they just get out of that rut of trying to find a way to make money with it directly, that's when they'll see the real value come through. It's about building relationships. It's long-term. Not short, quick kill. I got to make a commission and run. It's build a relationship. Establish it. If you go into this with the mindset of it not being for directly making money, I personally think you have greater success. The long-term plays always work better than the short-term. Short-term works can work, but they're temporary. The long-term is a lot more permanent and lasting. Just think of all the wonderful bread crumbs you're leaving throughout the world. Through all the venues and platforms we've been talking about. In speaking terms, if you're on stage, that's what we call a "stage swap". Where you would be a guest on someone else's stage in return for them saying, "okay, but I'm going to do the opposite." We'll have you on our as well. The same thing with podcasts and live video. It works really great. Just make sure they're a fit.
Dylan Shinholser:
They've got to fit. (It's) got to makes sense.
Brian Kelly:
Both ways. Yeah.
Christian Karasiewicz:
I want to add something real quick to that. If you are consistently going live, so it's great to be consistent, go live on a regular basis, but also think about the long game. It's a couple of years, for example. Also, don't be afraid to be making changes and adjustments as things are moving along. It's not about substituting equipment. It's about looking at your process. For example, you mentioned Brian, that you have automation on some of the things. Think of smarter ways to take bigger jumps ahead. If I have to send someone an email, and I'm like, "hey, do you want to be on my show?" Then I have to deal with the whole back and forth. Well, okay. Yeah. What time? Then I have to send everything back. There are tools out there like Calendly, Harmonizely. You can send a calendar link to somebody and they can only book a certain slot for example and vice versa. This takes out the guesswork out of having to do all that back and forth. That's a way to work smarter because now you want to book people for your show. You send them one link. The person then doesn't have to send you a message back, and you can even use it to collect feedback for your show questions. There's not a lot of back-and-forth and downtime.
Brian Kelly:
Yeah, absolutely. I do that as well, and it's a godsend. I could not do what I'm doing. I would not do what I'm doing without the automation part of it. I have an onboarding form. You guys all... Most, not all of you went through it, but that was a mini version. Julie, you went through the big version. I then changed it right after I saw that. Like you said, make adjustments. That's what I did. I'm constantly doing that. Improving. I have a document automatically generated in Google Docs with your bio. The answer you had to why you think you would bring value to the show. Also, all the questions you chose to be asked for the show. Some of you didn't see that. So everything's done. The Q&A part used to take hours and hours doing manually. Now I just give them thirty-eight questions. Choose ten, and we're good. You tick the box. You choose what I'm going to ask you. (I) just made it a system, and it has worked beautifully. I don't even use the ten questions hardly. I use maybe the first three. Then we go organically like we've been doing tonight. My God, it's six twenty-nine! Are you kidding me? I'm having too much fun. Real quick. I know everyone that came on in the beginning. You heard this thing about a prize. We're going to do that real quick, and we'll come back and wrap it up. For those of you watching, remember in the beginning I said, "take notes and don't go clicking away and stuff like that"? Now I think Dylan, Julie, Tim, and Christian will also give you permission to do what I'm saying, and that is take out your phone. Take your gaze away from us for just a moment, but you'll still have to look back. Yes, yes. You can do this too. Please, do. What I want you to do....
Dylan Shinholser:
I need a vacation.
This is how you can enter to win a five-night stay at a five-star luxury resort of your choosing. Here's what you do. Take out your message app on your phone. Fire that up- your text message app. Where you would type in the name of the person normally that you're going to text. Instead, put in this number: three, one, four, six, six five-they're all doing it behind the scenes- one, seven, six, seven. I love this. Three, one, four, six, six, five, one, seven, six, seven. If you're watching this and you're not a guest, go ahead and write this down because I gonna take the screen down. I want you to get it. This will be open until the end of the evening. Where you actually put in the message... Where you might put emojis, those kinds of things, not emojis, just two words separated by a dash or a hyphen. Those words are peak (P-E-A-K) dash Vacation (V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N). All together. No spaces. Peak vacation. Send it off, then monitor your phone. You're going to get an automated response back asking you for your email address, and that will then officially enter you into the contest. Compliments of The Big Insider Secrets. Our buddies, Jason Nash, the owner. Dear friend of mine who lets us give this away every single week. Every show, actually. We do more than one a week now on average. So go ahead, get that entered. I can't wait to see who's going to win that. You're going to be asked later, you don't have to if you're the winner, to provide your Facebook information. Just your profile so we can say congrats and give you a high-five online and get others to come watch the show. To be honest, that's another strategy. We're just rolling back the curtain. That's why we do it this way. You can offer incentives like that. My friend has offered that to anyone who is my friend. If you're not my friend, you don't get it. If you're on as part of the panel here, they're all my friends. Christian may differ on that opinion, but I think he's my friend.
Christian Karasiewicz:
I'm your friend. Yes.
Brian Kelly:
Ok, good. I picked on you so hard. I apologize, but you're just you're a fun guy. I appreciate you for putting up with it. I definitely do stuff like that. Implement it and announce it in the beginning. That helps retention. I'm just pulling back the curtain for everybody. You can do different things like that. Having multiple people, I noticed, is also a little better than just one every single time. So, mix it up now and then. Alright. I know we're a little bit over, but I want to give you each another chance for a final parting tip. Anything you want on live streaming. It could be hardware, software, how you smile, what bling you wear, don't wear, your makeup. I'm wearing some, by the way, just so the guys know. Yeah, I don't know what they call it. It's not like guy up.. guy-liner, but it's like makeup. I know. That was bad.
Dylan Shinholser:
I haven't heard of that one.
Brian Kelly:
I just did that. I'm not a young fart anymore. Anyway. So, Dylan, we'll do the same thing. Go around the horn. What would be one final quick tip, or parting words of advice, you can give our wonderful viewing and listening audience?
Dylan Shinholser:
Keep it simple stupid. Don't overcomplicate it. There's things that you need to do and standards you need to meet. At the end of the day, keep it simple stupid will allow you to not overcomplicated it (and) get overwhelmed. Once you get overwhelmed, it's a wash. I would just say as a life advice, event advice, live stream advice, just keep it simple stupid and keep it moving.
Brian Kelly:
Real quick, I got to interject on that. Just so people know that that comes from an acronym K.I.S.S. So we're not calling everybody stupid, for one.
Dylan Shinholser:
Well...
Brian Kelly:
That was great. I have a friend who is Sicilian in nature, and he did this from the stage. He talked about it, and he brought up the whole thing. We're talking about doing it without complicating it. He goes, "It's like K.I.S.S. Who knows what K.I.S.S means?" Someone raised their hands. They said, "keep it simple, stupid". He goes,"Oh, no, no. It's keep it simple Sicilian." He lighten the load of the stupid part. I thought that was cool. Sorry, Julie, what is your parting tip?
Julie Riley:
You know, you're going to have to get started at some point. In order to do that, you're going to have to get over your fear. Go practice. Get those done, but also go watch and find other people that you resonate with their live shows. Start to take pieces from each of those. Now, obviously, you cannot go copy their live show and recreate it. You can pull little things from multiple different people's live shows that you like and that resonate with you. If you're comfortable and things are resonating with you, you're going to exude that comfort and that confidence out to the rest of the world.
Brian Kelly:
I love it. I love it. Alright. The man, the myth, the legend, Timothy J. McNeely. What is your final parting word of advice?
Timothy McNeely:
I'm going to close with a story. The purpose of this story is to illustrate the power of doing a show. July 20th, 1969, the first man walked on the moon. He left his footprints up there. On the moon, there's no wind. There's no rain. There's no weather, and those footprints today in twenty twenty-one look exactly like they did in nineteen sixty-nine. They're going to be exactly the same a million years from now. You too. You leave footprints on the hearts and the minds of everyone that you come in contact with. In streaming and having a platform, that's your opportunity to leave your footprints and to have an impact on people. Get clear about what your message is. What's the impact you want to have? If you do that, all of the other puzzle pieces are going to fall in place for you.
Brian Kelly:
Oh, baby. Okay, I've got to do it. I've got to do it. That was amazing.
Dylan Shinholser:
You have to get one of the little lower third animation gifts that are possible here on StreamYard. It's just a mic drop every time someone does one.
Brian Kelly:
Not nearly as much fun though, bro.
Christian Karasiewicz:
That's true. Fair. Very fair. I'll give it to you. I've got to get me one of those little squishy microphones.
Brian Kelly:
A little sound effect like I just broke my desk or something. That would be good. Alright, Christian, you've had a long time to think about it now. No pressure, but this better be a good one. I'm kidding. What do you have?
Christian Karasiewicz:
Let's see. The best piece of advice, I think, would be don't have gas or gear acquisition syndrome. You're going to watch people doing their live streams, and they're going to go and be like, "hey, I got to get that mic because this person upgraded." Oh, they got a new webcam. Remember? If you develop a plan, the whole thing is work the plan.. work the system. It's great (that) somebody else got some equipment, but it doesn't mean that you need to go out and get that yourself as well. Remember, work your plan. When you get to the certain points, maybe set that as a milestone. If I get to a certain number of viewers, for example, or a certain number of subscribers on a channel, then I might need to upgrade something. Don't be buying stuff just because someone else is doing so.
Brian Kelly:
Sales drive service. I love it. You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for coming on. Everyone who watched live. Thank you for coming on. Those of you that watched on the recording. Thank you for spending your valuable time with us, and those listening on the podcast. The same goes for you. Definitely. I hope you took a lot of notes because these are experts in the field. They are giving their value, their heart, their experience. They only charged me two-hundred thousand dollars for it. It's really been a deal. I'm kidding. They charged me nothing. You got incredible value from these amazing, amazing professionals. I can't thank you all enough. I appreciate you Dylan, Julie, Tim, Christian. Thank you from the bottom of my heart with all seriousness. I know we had some fun tonight. Thank you, Christian, so much for letting me pick on you so hard. You've been a great guy. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you at a deeper level. If you're open to that after tonight. Appreciate you all. On behalf of these amazing people, that's it. We're out. My name is Brian Kelly. I'm the host of The MIND BODY BUSINESS Show. Until next time we will see you. Be blessed. So long for now.
