Now, let's dive into the show.
3:16
I have great question for myself. I I
3:20
don't have that an answer for that, but
3:23
we shall see. Going through this
3:24
conversation.
3:26
Anyway, let's welcome uh Sherman.
3:29
Hey, Sherman. Hey, Jimmy. How's it
3:31
going? Good. How are you? Doing well.
3:33
Doing well. Good to be here.
3:36
So, before we get started, can you tell
3:38
us a little bit about who you are, what
3:39
you do, how you got started, and why you
3:42
got started?
3:43
Okay. So, I'm Sherman Perryman, the
3:45
founder of Militant Grind. Um the reason
3:48
why I got started is that I I to work in
3:50
a business along with my
3:52
entrepreneurship background, where I
3:54
could actually like impact people
3:57
and serve a higher purpose. And so, I
4:00
came up with a personal brand, and I
4:03
started thinking about some of the
4:04
things I used to do in the past, which
4:06
is like advise people, counsel people,
4:08
and how I help people, you know, with
4:10
their personal and daily lives. And I
4:12
was like, "Okay, I could probably, you
4:14
know, create a brand out of this and
4:16
create a business out of this, which is
4:17
something that I could do effortlessly
4:20
and do, you know, like it's absolutely
4:22
nothing. You know, I I did it for my tax
4:25
clients, real estate clients, clients
4:27
period. You know, people A lot of people
4:29
come to me for advice. So, the reason
4:33
that I asked for why
4:35
You said why, right? That was the last
4:36
one.
4:38
Yeah. And so, the reason why um I'm kind
4:42
of like I was like so
4:45
gung-ho about this and kind of like want
4:47
to really uh pursue this is because
4:50
I want to leave something behind when I
4:52
leave the world. I want to impact the
4:53
world. And so, that's why I'm kind of
4:56
like, you know, I'm I'm into this. I
4:58
like it. I love being able to see that
5:00
I'm also making a difference in other
5:03
people's lives.
5:05
That's a good uh
5:07
That's a good why.
5:08
No pun intended. So,
5:11
my next question for you is
5:14
how did you
5:15
how were you able to do all of that?
5:20
It sounded very
5:21
It sounds very overwhelming at times.
5:24
Don't it?
5:25
As an As an entrepreneur and whatnot.
5:28
So, how do you
5:29
how do you have the mindset for all of
5:31
this? Um honestly, it's just being very
5:33
efficient, you know, using tools, using
5:37
other people. Um
5:39
I'm not like a one-man band. I work with
5:41
a lot of other people, too, when it
5:42
comes to my brand.
5:44
And
5:45
the thing is, most of all, it's just me
5:47
being able to delegate, ask for help,
5:49
and whatever, you know, isn't your
5:51
strength, you definitely should find
5:52
somebody that where you can utilize
5:55
their strengths for your weaknesses. So,
5:58
you know, a lot of things I do do on my
6:00
own, it definitely is overwhelming. You
6:02
know, I will say that cuz you have to do
6:05
a lot of output, you have to do a lot of
6:07
figuring out. I mean, I have a my own
6:09
podcast there where I have to edit
6:11
episodes and put them out and things
6:13
like that. And, you know, the thing is
6:15
that keeps me going is just like if you
6:17
just be consistent, you know, something
6:19
will come out of it and I've been seeing
6:21
that lately when it comes to the work
6:23
that I've been producing. You know,
6:25
people if I go out in public, somebody
6:27
will come up to me and say, "Hey, I seen
6:28
your podcast." Or, "Hey, I seen this.
6:30
Hey, I seen that." And I'm just kind of
6:32
like shocked like, "Wow, I didn't even
6:33
think people watched it like that." But,
6:35
everybody's paying attention, everybody
6:37
does. And so, with that, I just hold
6:39
myself accountable to just to keep
6:41
pushing, you know, keep going because
6:44
it's getting out there and people do
6:46
appreciate it as well.
6:49
I definitely know that feeling.
6:51
Although, I don't Although, I'm quite
6:53
the opposite. I don't have any people.
6:55
Uh it's only me. Literally, if I took
6:59
away this background on screen, I'm in
7:02
my bedroom. Just in my bedroom, that's
7:04
my studio.
7:06
I don't have a big enough
7:07
house to have a dedicated room. Uh
7:11
Sad, but true. But, I I But, so I What I
7:15
do to keep myself consistent, I use some
7:19
automation tools like Zapier.
7:23
Today, I just been setting up the most
7:26
complicated thing I've been doing.
7:30
Trying to build a community and whatnot.
7:32
I'm not going to
7:34
share all that because it's just a uh
7:37
It's a complicated mess and I'm trying
7:39
to figure that out as I go along with
7:42
the steps. Right.
7:44
>> So, and though
7:45
so basically it is
7:48
let us say it is one big spider web. So,
7:50
[snorts] tools have gone this then here
7:53
over here and like, "Holy crap." And as
7:55
I think goodness Zapier exists because
7:58
I'd be lost without it.
8:01
Yeah, as I'm familiar with Zapier, but
8:03
yeah, even adopting like those
8:05
tools where you can automate things and
8:07
you know, do things a little bit more
8:09
effortlessly. I feel like that could go
8:11
a long way, too, cuz you do have to
8:13
juggle a lot. But thankfully, the tools
8:15
are out there to help you
8:17
when it comes to juggling a lot.
8:20
So,
8:21
8:24
how can people adopt this kind of
8:26
mindset to keep going, to keep pushing
8:28
forward because I know there's some days
8:30
as being an entrepreneur entrepreneur
8:33
myself, there
8:36
there's some days that you feel like on
8:38
top of the world and then some days you
8:40
just feel like somebody just kicked the
8:42
crap out of you.
8:44
Right.
8:45
I feel like it's just a discipline.
8:47
You know, like I'll tell people I'm
8:49
never motivated to go to the gym, you
8:51
know, I just go because I'm disciplined
8:54
enough to go, you know, so it's like if
8:57
you can brush your teeth every day, if
8:59
you can take a shower every day, if you
9:00
can eat every day, you know, you have to
9:03
put non-negotiable items, you know, or
9:05
task in your daily life where it's like
9:08
no matter what, I'm going to go ahead
9:10
and accomplish this and I'm going to do
9:11
this every day. If I feel good, if I
9:14
feel a little down, I mean, hopefully
9:15
not sick or ill, but you know, a lot of
9:18
us do certain things including like go
9:20
to work when we're not feeling 100% so
9:23
you have to do that for yourself as
9:25
well. If you can go to so much job and
9:27
give them, you know, 8 hours of your
9:29
time and give them the best of your time
9:32
no matter what you're feeling just
9:34
because, you know, you getting paid or
9:37
things like that. Like why don't you
9:39
give that to yourself when it comes to
9:40
some of the tasks that you want to
9:42
accomplish. You know, so I think about
9:44
it like that. It's like I need to do
9:46
certain things for me, you know, in
9:48
order for me to be the best individual
9:49
that I could be. So, some days I go to
9:52
the gym and I feel like I I have a
9:53
little cold and I'll still go and knock
9:55
it out, you know. But I'm not going to
9:58
you know, some days you're just so worn
9:59
out where you can't go, but it's like if
10:01
you make it up somewhere, then you'll be
10:03
okay, you know. But I feel like
10:04
discipline is one of the main pillars
10:07
where it comes to accomplishing a task
10:09
no matter like how you feel.
10:13
I have for me when I
10:17
when I feel like giving, I go back to my
10:19
vision board. Even it's I have to update
10:22
it a little bit. I have to I think I'm
10:24
going to update it after this semester
10:26
just because I have not been having I'm
10:28
forgetting so,
10:29
but the stuff that's already there, I
10:31
just keep going back to the vision board
10:34
and also just keep seeing the bigger
10:36
picture of things and I keep reminding
10:38
myself
10:40
why I started,
10:42
where it's
10:43
come to, why I'm still doing this, the
10:47
joy of doing this and also reminding
10:50
myself is that
10:53
my favorite part of what I do is
10:55
interviewing people and also speaking on
10:58
stages and
10:59
I meet people in public versus just
11:01
everything on the back end. So, even
11:03
though
11:05
uh there's a lot of stuff I have to do
11:07
on the back end,
11:08
doing a lot of the stuff on the front
11:10
end makes it up for it.
11:13
Mhm.
11:14
There's some days where admin task is
11:17
like, "Gosh, I hate this admin task. Why
11:20
am I doing this?" Like
11:22
like let me go back to the example of on
11:24
this community
11:26
spider web, it's literally just
11:29
it been eating at my brain
11:32
since like a week and a half already and
11:35
and I finally just started putting it in
11:37
a place and like this is starting to
11:39
make sense now. I was like why did I was
11:41
like why was my brain complicating this
11:44
more than it really needs to.
11:46
Mhm.
11:47
But it's like your brain just plays
11:49
tricks on you. And it's
11:51
>> Yeah.
11:52
It could be analysis paralysis or
11:54
self-sabotage. It could be all kind of
11:56
things.
11:58
And I also want to piggyback off of my
12:00
other thing. It's like when I'm not
12:02
feeling well, I do not go to the gym.
12:05
Uh I mean I work out of my own house but
12:07
because I don't want to pay for a gym
12:09
membership and I
12:11
I have a gym membership online etc.
12:16
But
12:18
But I agree with you that as as well
12:21
discipline and I've learned discipline
12:23
over the years of being in karate and
12:27
when I don't get to something, I make up
12:29
the next day and fit it in. It's like
12:32
this is not I'm not I didn't do this
12:34
today. I have to do it first thing the
12:36
next day or I won't get to it.
12:39
Right. So my next question
12:42
So my next question for you is
12:44
how does people build discipline? I know
12:47
I just said karate but is there
12:49
something that you do to help build
12:51
discipline?
12:52
I feel like you could do it in a micro
12:54
way when it comes to accomplishing small
12:56
tasks throughout your day and feeling
12:59
accomplished after you achieve those
13:01
small tasks. It's like okay, I'm going
13:03
to get up. I'm going to write this
13:04
paper. I'm going to do this or I'm going
13:06
to do that, you know, and and also
13:08
writing it down, you know, writing down
13:10
your tasks is something I do. I've been
13:12
doing that for years just writing it
13:13
down on a little legal pad and just see
13:16
seeing it with my eyes and then just
13:18
checking it off each time I knock out a
13:20
task. You know, so if you say okay, I'm
13:23
going to do all of this today and you
13:24
write it down and you know, you check
13:27
everything off at the end of the day,
13:28
you get a sense of accomplishment where
13:30
it's like, "Wow, I did exactly what I
13:32
said I was going to do." I feel like
13:34
that's that could be a solid start that
13:36
works for me, you know, but you have to
13:38
have some type of accountability
13:40
measures as well just to make sure that
13:42
you, you know, continue the discipline
13:44
of doing what you said you were going to
13:45
do.
13:47
I agree. Especially like for me, I have
13:50
a digital digital to-do list across all
13:53
my devices.
13:55
Uh I use a TickTick to-do list. Not a
13:58
sponsor of my show. I'm just sharing it.
14:01
Uh just an FYI. And so my
14:04
So for TickTick to-do list, I I set it
14:08
up to be a reoccurring on some events.
14:10
Some tasks I have reoccurring. And then
14:13
there's other stuff that's reoccurring
14:16
once a month or every other month. And
14:19
it holds me accountable by
14:23
if I miss
14:24
something, it will highlight it in red
14:26
for the next day.
14:28
And then it says, "This is overdue." And
14:31
[snorts] then if I miss a couple days,
14:32
it says, "This is very overdue." I'm
14:34
like, "This is very redundant, but
14:36
thanks for reminding me."
14:39
>> [laughter]
14:41
>> Yeah.
14:43
I'm surprised they haven't added in
14:44
those that part in the app. It's like,
14:47
"Where are you going, you lazy fart? You
14:48
didn't go get to to this task yet."
14:53
That's something to do with That's
14:54
That's something that you have to tell
14:56
yourself. Yeah. Mhm. Maybe they should
14:59
put me let me put in customize quotes
15:02
for myself and say, "Stop
15:04
procrastinating."
15:05
With every reminder, "Stop
15:07
procrastinating. Do this."
15:09
Right.
15:09
>> I should suggest it to them.
15:11
They You have to suggest that to
15:12
yourself. All they can only do so much.
15:15
That's why self-accountability is
15:17
you know, is where it's at. That's
15:20
what's was make the biggest change.
15:23
So, my next question for you is, were
15:25
you always
15:27
Did you always Were you Let us say were
15:30
you born with this kind of mindset or
15:31
did you have to learn this?
15:34
No, I will say it was kind of like
15:36
inherited because I grew up in the
15:37
military style type of household.
15:41
So, it was like no room for anything to
15:44
slip, you know what I mean? So, it's a
15:46
little different. It's not that, you
15:47
know, I grew up and was like, "Oh, we!"
15:49
You know, it was like everything was on
15:51
the straight and narrow, had chores, had
15:54
to do things around the house, didn't
15:56
watch too much TV, was working all the
15:59
time. So, it's not to say that Well, I
16:02
wouldn't say born, I would say it just
16:03
kind of like developed.
16:05
You know, but I feel like a lot of, you
16:08
know, but then it's also personal, too.
16:10
Like, I've also wanted to be the best
16:11
person I could be personally. So, I
16:14
developed some things from that
16:16
discipline that I've learned growing up
16:17
and just put that inside of my own life,
16:20
you know, and
16:22
and for me to to flourish with that. So,
16:25
yeah, I would say that.
16:27
So,
16:29
my next question for you is,
16:32
did you because you were you grew up
16:34
kind of like military lifestyle, so to
16:37
speak, do you feel like that took away
16:39
from your childhood? Well, of course it
16:41
did, for sure.
16:44
Yeah, I didn't have like Saturday
16:46
morning cartoons and, you know, wake up
16:49
eating cereal and stuff like that. Yeah,
16:51
no, it
16:52
definitely did. While the other kids
16:54
were playing outside, you know, we were
16:57
me and my brothers and sisters were
16:59
getting teased and people calling us
17:01
slaves because all we did was work. So,
17:04
yeah, definitely did. You know, and I
17:06
feel like if it wasn't for that, I could
17:08
have possibly like experienced a lot
17:11
more as a child, but yeah.
17:14
Yeah.
17:16
I'll for sure say that.
17:19
Well, mine mine was kind of the the
17:22
opposite of that.
17:24
Uh
17:25
not trying to rub it in or anything. I I
17:27
just want to I I asked that out of
17:29
curiosity.
17:30
Mhm. Yeah, I understand that. So, my
17:33
next my my next question for you is it
17:36
uh
17:38
how
17:39
what do you think are the best ways for
17:42
people to hold themselves accountable it
17:45
besides that self-discipline like could
17:48
they have an accountability partner or
17:51
something sort of like maybe a friend or
17:52
a family member?
17:54
Yeah, I mean everybody has to do
17:56
whatever works for them personally. You
17:59
know, like accountability partners are
18:01
actually amazing, especially if the
18:03
person really has your best interest and
18:05
they're going to tell it to you like it
18:06
is and they're not going to count cut
18:08
you any slack. Oh, yeah, I have several
18:10
accountability partners for sure. You
18:13
know, that'll talk to me like, "Hey,
18:14
man, what's up? You know, get on your
18:16
stuff. What are you doing? You're
18:17
slacking or you know, you're supposed to
18:19
be working, etc." You know, so I feel
18:22
like that that actually works very very
18:24
well, but it just depends on the person
18:25
that is your accountability partner and
18:29
what they're able to bring to the table
18:30
and making sure that they are authentic
18:34
with you when it comes to your journey.
18:38
Um my next question for you is
18:41
uh how has this accountability partners
18:43
changed over the years or have they
18:45
stayed the same? Um currently it uh
18:49
no, it doesn't really stay the same
18:50
though. Yeah, like yeah, it's kind of
18:52
hard for me to stay the same because
18:55
honestly, accountability partner will
18:57
end up becoming your close friend
18:58
because you will you'll kind of be
19:00
vulnerable enough to them where it's
19:02
like you you have a close bond and yeah,
19:06
I feel like it'll change unless they
19:08
move away or they get busy or something
19:09
like that, but more than likely it stays
19:12
the same. Like I've had one in college
19:14
that held me to a certain standard when
19:16
it came to my health and fitness. You
19:18
know, I'm talking about popping up at my
19:20
house unannounced, "Hey, let's go to the
19:22
gym." You know what I mean? Stuff like
19:24
that. So, yeah. I'll definitely add
19:27
that.
19:29
I think
19:30
Mhm. My
19:32
My accountability partner has stayed the
19:34
same.
19:36
Mhm. Uh for the most part, I think we
19:40
some of the some rules changed a little
19:43
bit to modify to still get where I want
19:47
to go from point A to point B.
19:49
But, I won't say cutting slack or
19:52
anything, but
19:54
being I would say even lenient, but not
19:58
being like a full-blown
20:00
I'm looking for a good word, but
20:02
nothing's coming to mind at the moment.
20:04
Basically, it's just you're trying to
20:06
uh
20:07
just keep me on the right track and not
20:09
feeling like I'm just a complete and
20:12
utter failure. Like
20:15
"Oh, you did this. You're done." Or what
20:18
not. It's like once and done. No. So,
20:23
I don't have a good word for that, so
20:24
I'm just going to go with that today.
20:26
Right. It's still swirling around in my
20:28
head. I'm blaming everything on math.
20:31
I'm
20:31
talking to the
20:34
So, my next question for you is
20:36
if you had to recommend any
20:39
anybody um
20:41
I don't know, motivational books, what
20:44
would you recommend?
20:45
>> I'll recommend my books. It's called
20:47
From Grit to Greatness: Harnessing the
20:48
Five Pillars of the Militant Grind. And
20:50
actually, I have the five pillars on my
20:53
shirt. So, love, honor, strength,
20:55
discipline, wisdom. So, those are
20:57
actually the five pillars. And yeah,
21:00
I've I've you know, I've had a lot of
21:01
great reviews, a lot of great feedback
21:04
from the book. Some people said it
21:06
changed their life, etc. But it was just
21:08
me giving my best self to it, you know,
21:12
and put it on paper. I also share
21:14
stories that everybody can relate to
21:16
like biblical, current events, some
21:19
celebrities that everyone are familiar
21:21
with like Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, and
21:24
also my personal stories to help relate
21:26
people to the five pillars of the
21:28
Militant Grind. So, yeah, I would
21:31
definitely say check that out. It's on
21:33
Amazon. You can get it on Kindle or just
21:36
buy it directly paperback.
21:42
I love it how you did not hesitate about
21:44
saying
21:45
own book.
21:49
Of course.
21:50
I know how to I I just I just love that
21:52
how you just said it like my own book.
21:57
Not even a slight hesitation. Right, not
22:00
at all. Got to be confident.
22:03
Exactly. So, my next question for you is
22:07
Uh can you tell me uh
22:09
>> [clears throat]
22:09
>> what is your podcast about and who's
22:12
your main target audience and
22:14
what kind of guests have you had on your
22:17
show? My podcast is mostly about mental
22:20
health, resilience, dedication, and
22:23
basically just getting people's journeys
22:25
of, you know, where they started and
22:28
where they're at now and how they
22:30
overcame certain things in their lives.
22:32
So, it's pretty vague because I feel
22:34
like everyone goes through something in
22:36
their life. Like say, I have attorneys,
22:39
ex-drug dealers, medical doctors,
22:42
a woman who survived sex trafficking on
22:45
three different occasions.
22:48
Yeah, man. It's I have a whole array
22:51
like veterans,
22:53
combat veterans.
22:55
Um
22:56
people that have abused alcohol and
22:59
different type of drugs. I mean, it's
23:01
it's like all walks of life, but at the
23:03
end of the day, you know, some of them
23:05
have some stories that they would like
23:07
to share or like information and things
23:09
like that. And so, I would look at it
23:12
more so like I'm I'm gathering
23:13
information on, let I say, how I should
23:17
go through life, you know? So, it's like
23:19
if you are into you could find something
23:21
that you're interested in to help you
23:23
like say a woman suffering abuse,
23:25
spousal abuse, and things like that. And
23:27
there's women out there that suffer from
23:29
that. So, I'll say, "Hey, you should
23:31
check out this episode cuz she gives
23:33
some very good insight on how she
23:35
developed, you know, and how she got out
23:38
of these different things." And I have a
23:39
medical doctor talking about COVID. And
23:42
I'm just ask them questions about COVID.
23:44
So, it's kind of like how Joe Rogan does
23:47
his podcast is where it's like it's not
23:49
really specifically about something.
23:52
It's more so about, you know, anything,
23:55
all sorts of topics. And if you just
23:57
want information, that's that's a
23:59
one-stop shop.
24:01
That's
24:02
That's awesome. Like for me, I I
24:05
I have a target audience, but I also
24:08
keep it broad topics just so that it
24:12
keeps staying interesting, especially
24:14
because
24:15
like I'll be fair like but some of these
24:19
other podcasts about autism, they're
24:23
some of them are dormant and they're not
24:26
doing it anymore.
24:28
And I just feel like it would just
24:31
mainly about autism, people lose
24:33
interest
24:34
either the host or the guest
24:37
or the
24:38
just the audience. So, I try to make it
24:41
broad just to keep it very interesting
24:43
because like you said, I want
24:47
people to keep coming back. It's not
24:49
just about autism, it's about healthy
24:52
living overall, but then there's
24:54
lifestyle, which can mean anything.
24:57
Right.
24:58
Yeah. And
25:00
because like if it's like just one
25:01
specific topic that I can say
25:03
okay, we beat this thing to death horse
25:05
at the moment.
25:08
I listen.
25:09
Right. Yeah, but that's why kind of like
25:11
that's that's that's how mine is is like
25:14
cuz it's like I really don't want to
25:15
stick to one thing. I really want to
25:17
get information on all, you know, sorts
25:20
of topics and things like that. And
25:22
because I'm such a avid like researcher
25:24
and learner, I like I know about a lot
25:27
of different things and so I'll probably
25:28
try to find someone in that field who I
25:31
could ask questions to, you know, so
25:34
that's kind of like how how mine is.
25:37
So you actually just reminded me I have
25:38
to find somebody I could talk about
25:40
astrology and stuff like that for my
25:42
personal podcast.
25:44
But yeah, just because I want to learn
25:45
more stuff like that. I have to take
25:48
that
25:49
I have to take astronomy this
25:51
for my next semester in college.
25:54
Uh next semester. I don't know if I
25:55
should be looking forward to it or not
25:57
looking forward to it. It's four
25:59
credits.
26:00
Well, it's astrology not astronomy. Oh.
26:03
Yeah. I don't know.
26:06
Yeah. I feel stupid.
26:08
No, you're good.
26:10
Well, I mean either way I still have to
26:12
take it anyway.
26:13
Still, I'm not looking forward.
26:15
I'm not a science person.
26:17
>> [snorts]
26:18
>> Yeah.
26:19
So
26:20
26:23
what is it
26:26
When did you create your podcast and
26:27
what is your mission of your podcast?
26:30
I created in August of last year.
26:33
Uh we got a
26:36
62
26:38
episodes
26:39
and counting cuz I have some I still
26:41
have to upload. And the thing is just to
26:43
give people information, you know, about
26:46
several topics that they might be
26:47
interested in learning. So it's like you
26:49
can almost find
26:51
anything, you know, and so, not to say
26:54
that I'm taking Joe Rogan's style, but
26:56
I'm kind of like a person that knows so
26:58
much about so many different things. So,
27:00
like I said, I could have a conversation
27:02
with almost anybody and be able to ask
27:04
them questions and based off of the
27:06
topic, based off what I've researched a
27:08
long time ago or researching now, etc.,
27:11
you know? So, I have a conversational
27:13
style of interviewing where it's like I
27:15
ask questions about, you know, certain
27:17
topics, certain things that they do,
27:19
etc., you know?
27:23
So, my next question for you is,
27:26
where do you see your podcast in the
27:28
next 3 years?
27:31
A place where I can actually start
27:34
Hey warriors, Jimmy Clare here. Tired of
27:36

and click on the mall link or
27:54

view pricing and more information.
28:06
Um a place where I can actually start
28:10
doing them more
28:11
in person, a lot of one-on-ones. Also,
28:14
Impact Theory is one of my favorite
28:16
podcasts, which is something that I um
28:19
I'm mimic mine off of, you know? So,
28:21
it's like I don't it's you know, we
28:23
really don't know what it's about, but
28:25
he just interviews people that are the
28:27
best in their field and just gets them
28:29
to share information by asking
28:31
questions. So, I just see mine like
28:33
that. Like I want a actual studio. I
28:35
want to do one-on-one conversations,
28:37
etc., you know, be able to bring big
28:40
names in and ask them questions that
28:42
they've never been asked before, you
28:44
know? So, that's my vision for it. You
28:47
know, I do have a studio where I do, you
28:50
know, go, but it's like I want my own. I
28:51
want to set it up. And actually that's
28:53
in the works. I am working on my own as
28:55
well as we speak. So,
28:57
yeah, man, it's it's going to, you know,
28:59
things are on the up and up.
29:02
For me, I actually I would like to get
29:05
to the point where I start having big
29:08
names,
29:09
guys, whether they're celebrities or
29:12
other fitness enthusiasts or
29:16
even like huge name authors.
29:20
And
29:21
I want to get to the point where I want
29:23
to have the
29:24
I like to get to the point where they
29:26
all heard of my podcast or they do some
29:29
research or fans like, "Hey, yeah, I
29:31
want to be on this guy's show." Not just
29:33
like
29:34
I'd say
29:36
well, I wouldn't say bribe them, but I'd
29:37
say give them so much information so
29:39
they're like, "Pretty please with a
29:40
cherry on top."
29:42
That's what I have.
29:43
Things
29:44
there. Well, I mean,
29:47
honestly, I'm just kidding about that
29:48
part, but but but I mean, it it pretty
29:50
much feels like it.
29:52
All the little people have to
29:54
pretty much beg, so to speak, versus
29:57
where Joe Rogan's like, "Oh, I've heard
29:59
Joe Rogan."
30:00
Yeah, you got to work your way up
30:02
though. That's that's a different thing,
30:04
you [snorts] know. Who says it's going
30:05
to come overnight? No, right, right,
30:07
right.
30:08
Right, if you look at like how long that
30:10
guy has been in the industry, how long
30:12
he's been working, how long he's been
30:13
consistent, you know, that's the only
30:15
difference between him and a lot of
30:17
other people is his consistency. You
30:19
know, he has I don't know what, 2,000
30:22
episodes or something like that. You
30:23
know, he probably records every single
30:26
day. Steady pumping, steady pumping,
30:28
steady pumping. And so, that's the
30:30
difference between him and the people
30:32
that you mentioned before that you said
30:34
quit.
30:36
You know, or you can't find it anymore,
30:38
you know.
30:39
And also her after 20 episodes, well,
30:42
podcasts usually podcasts usually don't
30:45
last over 20 episodes.
30:48
Well, then you and me must be in the
30:51
what? 10%?
30:53
Oh, yeah, for sure.
30:54
Yeah, I have a lot, but I also heard
30:56
that after the 100th episode, that's
30:58
when it gets a little
30:59
you know, pretty active, you know.
31:02
Yeah. So, it's all about consistency,
31:04
man, perseverance, things like that. And
31:07
some people get in their head, they give
31:08
up, but if you look at any other success
31:11
story of any individual that made
31:14
anything of themselves, they they went
31:17
through something, you know, they
31:18
failed, they kept going, you know. They
31:20
didn't have it where it was just like,
31:23
you know, road on red carpet for them,
31:24
but they figured it out. And so, I feel
31:27
like that's the difference between
31:28
people that are successful and the ones
31:30
that are not.
31:32
I agree with that because,
31:34
you know, there's a lot of people
31:40
I I I think one of the
31:42
toughest things though
31:44
for small podcasts like us is that
31:47
celebrities have gone to podcasts and
31:52
and I'm not like
31:54
throwing every single celebrity under
31:55
the bus, but
31:58
like for instance,
32:00
I heard somebody and I wasn't there, so
32:03
but this person said
32:05
I read this article and this person
32:07
wrote in the article that
32:10
it it is disgusting to hear about
32:13
that some somebody paid for an event
32:16
Will Ferrell speaking about the the uh
32:19
the uh toughness of podcasting. And I
32:22
was like, "How many fans do you have?
32:25
How many sponsorships you have?" And he
32:26
was like, "Stop complaining."
32:28
And I was like, "You don't know the
32:29
struggles of podcasting." And he was
32:32
like, "You're already made."
32:34
Right.
32:36
Right.
32:37
Yeah, that is true though. Everyone has
32:40
different accesses to to different
32:42
different access to different things,
32:43
so.
32:45
Yeah, I can see that. And and I also
32:47
just want to specify I am not beating up
32:50
on Real Feal. He's not beating up. I
32:53
just don't like offense paying for
32:55
celebrities to do stuff like that, you
32:56
know, something like that. It's like,
32:57
"How about you get a small podcaster on
33:00
or a medium podcaster on that's been
33:03
doing this
33:05
a lot longer than celebrities or who's
33:07
been
33:08
who knew from like the ground up I've
33:10
got to struggle through boom boom boom
33:12
boom versus
33:14
a celebrity's going to know that. So,
33:15
it's like, "No, you just wanted a big
33:17
name there just to
33:19
Yeah, that's what you call it, it's
33:20
business. You got to get the big name to
33:22
attract the people.
33:24
You know, that's that's what it is.
33:27
It's all business. It's all business.
33:29
>> We should put that in the disclaimer.
33:31
No, we supposed to already know that.
33:34
Yeah. I know. It's always business.
33:38
I know.
33:40
I just
33:41
I just thought it'd be kind of cool for
33:43
some to listen to some other small
33:45
podcaster
33:46
or any who used to be a small podcaster
33:48
and worked his way up. Yeah, I get you.
33:52
I understand. I get you.
33:53
>> always put them on second after the
33:55
guest. What? That [laughter] the
33:58
Right.
33:59
Fake real.
34:03
So,
34:04
my last three questions for you is who's
34:07
your favorite podcaster and why? And
34:09
feel free not to say me.
34:13
Um I would say Tim
34:17
Uh is it Tim or Tom?
34:20
Below? Let me see. Uh
34:23
I was going to say, "Jimmy Fallon."
34:25
All right.
34:26
>> [laughter]
34:27
>> I don't know who said that. Yeah, that
34:30
Yeah, it's uh Tom Below. Um I think
34:33
that's how you say his name. But, it's
34:35
because I just like how he's able to
34:38
converse with the with his guests, you
34:40
know, and it doesn't seem scripted. He
34:43
has knowledge himself and you know, the
34:46
the way he's able to bring out of guests
34:48
as far as like his questions and his
34:49
energy is like very impactful. So, I
34:52
always love watching his podcast because
34:55
he brings about like the deeper side of
34:57
people like the heart, you know what I
34:59
mean? And so, you know, it's not that
35:02
he's bashing or he just really wants to
35:04
get how they think and it's not more so
35:07
just like I'm trying to put them on a
35:09
spot or anything like that, you know?
35:11
So, he doesn't like combat with people.
35:13
He doesn't go back and forth. He just
35:15
Okay, well, I could see, you know, I
35:18
could see how you think like that. He's
35:19
very calm, very poised and that kind of,
35:22
you know, that's kind of like myself.
35:23
Like I'm calm, I'm poised, I'm not
35:25
really loud, I'm not really obnoxious
35:27
and stuff like that. So, I mean, I can
35:29
be, but I just I'm just not that type of
35:32
person on camera, but yeah, and I said I
35:35
would say him.
35:37
And then you're going to add me to the
35:39
list too, right? Oh, gosh.
35:45
I was going to say that. That's fine. I
35:47
always like to learn more about
35:49
different podcasters and listen to those
35:52
people as well. So,
35:53
I added that question to the next
35:56
as a educational purpose for me just
35:59
like just the other people's styles and
36:02
see what other people listening to is
36:04
and I always like to see what people
36:06
react when I say and after you feel free
36:08
not to say anything.
36:11
Really get them on the spot.
36:13
Right, right, right. I got you.
36:15
It tricks them up is like
36:17
What the heck?
36:18
They're not expecting the twist.
36:21
So, my last question for you is where
36:22
can people find you, find you, learn
36:24
more about who you are you and what you
36:27
do? Um militantgrind.com
36:30
is, you know, resource for almost
36:32
anything that I've going on. I have
36:33
blogs there, motivational videos. You
36:36
can check out my YouTube channel. You
36:38
can find me on Instagram there. You can
36:40
also contact me and you can also look at
36:42
the other websites that I have, which is
36:44
militantgrind.com,
36:46
I'm not militantgrindacademy.com,
36:49
militantgrindmedia.com,
36:51
where I help different businesses uh
36:53
source
36:54
um you know, as far as like brand
36:56
awareness and stuff like that. Help them
36:57
get out their brand the same way that I
37:00
got mine out, you know, so yeah, that's
37:02
the best place you can find me,
37:04
militantgrind_
37:06
on Instagram or daddy warlock's. And the
37:10
reason why I came up with that name is
37:12
cuz you should always remember that, but
37:14
d a d d y w a r l o c s.
37:19
Jeez, you
37:21
Yeah, you have a lot of websites and you
37:24
have wear a lot of different hats.
37:27
Yeah.
37:27
>> I'm surprised you don't like roll up at
37:29
night and say,
37:30
"Holy crap, I'm overwhelmed."
37:32
>> [sighs]
37:32
>> Nah, you have to have systems systems in
37:35
place.
37:38
That's true.
37:39
Mhm.
37:41
But, I'm I do have a lot of systems in
37:43
place, but some days my brain just
37:46
overtakes all the systems.
37:48
Right.
37:50
I could understand.
37:52
Oh, man. Hey,
37:54
I'm in it I'm one person doing
37:57
everything, so that's sometimes
38:00
it's not like it's every single day.
38:01
It's like once in a blue moon and it's
38:03
like
38:05
everything just goes haywire. Right.
38:08
That's not consistent once in a day.
38:10
Blue moon, it's like
38:12
if I'm really having an off day, which I
38:14
haven't had in a while, I probably just
38:16
drink myself.
38:18
Well, that's
38:20
Yeah, right.
38:21
