    20:10 – We've got hotels for Haitians and and when we've got an open border again, no matter your political position. Okay, so all of this FEMA funding has been to support people that are not actually citizens of this country. Last time I checked, FEMA was paid for by me, a citizen. I want my tax dollars benefiting my fellow citizens who are struggling first.

    31:30 – Why are we even talking about $750 a citizen right now? Granted, I'm not a FEMA trained person, but all you did was light a fire in people, because they heard how small the dollar amount was. You need to take every dollar you got and send convoys of supplies, generators, etc. to help get people back to a healthy state of life. It's not even a level playing field right now.

    48:30 – A lot of people are like, well, my work or my life doesn't fulfill me. Well, then go earn the money so that you can go do the things to fulfill you. If people are always trying to find purpose, our work will never be done. People always trying to find purpose. I like having purpose in my work, and I really enjoy what I do.

There was an article published in the National Review, and it pointed out that two school districts here in Utah had adopted policies from the ACLU that said that teachers should not inform parents if a child decides to transition their sex. This issue is going viral right now and everybody's talking, but teachers are not the parents. I'm the parent. I created that human or adopted that human being, and have full responsibility for that human being.

I'm not painting this as you need to pivot your life. But maybe there's some minor change, and you keep doing what you're doing in a different way. The thing is, when I was working full time jobs, by the time I was considering whether or not it was worth jumping ship or trying to fix whatever was wrong, wherever I was, I've learned that it was just time to jump ship. The thing is, is just sit down and yeah, figure out, okay, well, what is it that I really want?

    My guiding principle in life is I don't get to choose when I die. But I sure get to choose how I live. If you just check in with yourself every day, ask yourself, am I choosing how I want to live?

    04:40 – Very few people get that like, I love failure, like failure is my friend. In fact, I've failed more times at most things and most people that I know probably other than you, I think you're a bigger failure than I am.

    13:30 – Things that I learned from skydiving. One is that courage credits don't transfer. Courage credits don't transfer, you can't go skydiving to abolish all of your fears. All it's going to do is going to abolish your fear of skydiving? There's not one thing you can do that's going to transform everything. What you can do is begin to chip away at your own resistance to doing new things. So the current credits don't transfer but the practice of doing new things helps overall.

    19:00 – When you do something a lot, it gets easier, like there is nothing that you do a lot of that you get worse at. I mean, you'd have to try. So whatever it is that you struggle with, that you're resistant to understand that, there is something really cool on the other side of it. 

    32:00 – A friend of mine is actually a rocket scientist and he says they are not that smart. But the thing that I am doing now, is I'm focused on teaching people a method of not a method, a culture of selling, that are called selling authentically.

    05:45– One of the biggest hurdles I had to get over was the sound of my own voice. So I recorded myself giving presentations while driving my truck, in front of a mirror, etc. I did 52 weeks of recording driving to work and I made sure I did it every week, for a year straight. Not for content creation and not for anybody else. Yes, there was good content there and I would make sure I posted on YouTube, even before I went into the office.

    12:30 – As a coach, in both the mindset life coaching part of my business and the fitness part of my business, it doesn't matter what side of the spectrum you're on, you got to listen to your client first. 

    43:30 – I work only with the lifestyle mindset coaching side of things, I don't coach them in fitness. I coach them on their lives. We work through the victim mentality and impostor syndrome. Soft talking through the past experiences and the story work. These things take up space in us. We don't realize they're taking up space in us which means we can't bring in new positive experiences. Because this something that is still holding on to us from the past, that we haven't learned to express or let go of or deal with. It's blocking us from moving forward. This happened to me, the reason I am more successful now than I was four years ago, is because four years ago, I had a block. I knew I had a block. 

    50:00 – I am often focused on the mindset coaching and lifestyle coaching which are my passions that I do outside of the gym. You have to be ready for those conversations. I had a local business that hired me and it was a six week program where I brought them through how to structure, how to plan, and they didn't respond well to the one the week with what I had designed. They all bottled up got really closed off. It was a big time tough room. I felt it and you could feel that in the owner too. So I pivoted and I flipped the script.

Or like how I was striking or if I was connected to every movement I did. I was listening and learning and taking criticism. It was awesome.

    14:30 – I've seen the Carnivore Lifestyle help a lot of people. I think it's important to get that message out to as many people as possible. You will get people saying whatever the hell they want to say, in a very negative fashion, but it's a vast minority of people. The vast majority of people tell me about how much better they are, how many illnesses they've fixed. They tell me how their dad's out of a nursing home and is able to live on his own again, and that he's off all his medications. Or how someone underweight has put on weight after living very frail and skinny and now he's putting on muscle again. Just like other people are losing excess weight, they're feeling much better, and their diabetes is gone, their acid reflux is gone. These diseases that were just crippling people and crippling society, they just go away in a realist and short period of time.

  • 300lbs Released, Not Aerodynamic, Yet, but a Hell of a Redesign:

    My name is Scott King 46 years old. Huge all my life. In 2006 I had gastric bypass. Day of surgery I was 552lbs. Lost weight but as these surgeries seem to go I gained all my weight back. I tried to have gastric again and was denied. I heard Vinnie Tortorich on the Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew show and as a last ditch effort I tried NSNG. I have lost 300lbs from it. Never been healthier. I have set my unicorn of all goals and that's the Ironman Texas in 2025. I hope this journey inspires the hopeless to take a change and encourage others.

    04:40 – I've always been a strong swimmer. But as I got into triathlon training, I realized I was actually a strong floater, and I wasn't the strongest swimmer. That is, I was very buoyant and so I mistakenly thought that meant I was a good swimmer. That was a whole entire different beast and my first try was a pool swim, a short one, then you go into open water swim. That's a whole different animal too now that you got currents to deal with, even in a small body of water. It'll expose every flaw or weakness you have in any technique.

    17:30 – I'm going to build up to that Ironman level of training. But with that comes incredible expenses. entry fees, all of that stuff. I mean, just simple stuff like hydration, nutrition, and that sort of thing. Buying shoes, because I'm a big guy, I wear out shoes, bicycle stuff, everything has a huge expense. Let's not forget I have three daughters. I've told Vinnie before I live in a trickle down economic system in my house, nothing trickles down to Dad, I'm the afterthought.

    24:15 – I had gastric bypass back in 2006 and I lost a good chunk of weight. Like a lot of people though, I started putting the weight back on. Roughly, around 2016-17, I was pretty much back exactly to where I was when I had gastric bypass beforehand. So I've tried to have gastric bypass again, because oddly enough, and I say this in quotations if you can get both or whatever. It was the only thing that ever worked for me. Which is kind of ironic because I'm trying to have it again because it didn't work for me.

    26:00 – So I downloaded a PDF, just saying screw it, I gotta check this No Sugar No Grains out. It was a simple list of don't do this, don't do that. I'm married, so I get this list, I'm pretty good at it, but I still didn't do anything about it. But one day, we were out front in the front yard. At the time, my two and a half year old daughter ran out to the street. I'll stop right now, nothing bad happened, because it's a very quiet street, but she was already in the road before I...

    8:55 – I was already the vice chair of the county party. I took a leave of absence for three weeks and ran for office and then I didn't win. So now I'm back doing my prior role, so I've always kind of been in the political space. I've got people talking to me now about running for office next year. I don't know if I have another campaign in me.

    16:40 – Now, one thing that our politicians in Utah do, though, is they want to show people they're doing stuff. So the last two or three days of the legislative session, they suspend the rules, and they'll pass like two or 300 bills in two or three days, which is nuts, because it's like, look, you haven't read them. 

    18:30 – I don't want to discount either the people who are just out there trying to live their life. I mean, if you're running a business, if you're out there, you're contributing to the world in a way that you're good at, and you get paid for. I mean, you're making a difference, too. 

    28:25 – Back to that idea of balance again. I don't I hate the word balanced, because people think of it as okay, I've got six things I'm trying to do. So I'm trying to keep the thing centered. I don't think that's realistic. But recognize what you're sacrificing over here to make progress over here. So that you don't ruin this column to gain in this column.

    48:00 – I just finished phase one. Honestly, 30 days of phase one was harder than 75 days of 75 Hard. I'm doing phase two right after Thanksgiving. Because you have to wait 30 days, between phases. If you fail during those 30 days, there's no penalty, right? So are you going to do it just because? It's funny because some of the stuff like I'm not working out twice a day anymore, I just follow my regimen. I have a program that gives me workouts for my triathlon next year. I'm gonna do a half Ironman, that's my goal next year. So if there's one workout in the day, that's all I'm doing, right? But the deal is, is if you slack off some are you disciplined enough when it matters to kick it back in? So 30 days is enough time to really get out of the habit if you're not going to stick to it.

    12:00 – One of the things I try to get across the people every time I talked to them is that they need to guard their hearing. Some of the concussive sounds that I have heard in the Army with no hearing protection on the market would have helped or would have protected it to that degree.
