 My name is Jose Maestri. From Miami, Florida, I took the AOC boot camp in July of 2009 and I was still in New York at the time. And I did the program because I wanted to, first of all, consider being also a lifestyle coach. I had been introduced to a lot of what the Pickup Podcast at the time was about. And I really liked what AJ and Jordan was talking about. And when I found out that they had created a program where you can be with them and learn the material and what they have learned for a week, that I found a way, as soon as I could, to be able to, just as I started college, basically, to learn this material and hopefully even bring it at the time to my friends at school. So when I started the boot camp, you know, I was thinking, awesome, got to find a way to pick a chip. But really what ended up happening was I received the kind of wisdom that you might expect to get when you're in your 40s at 19 years old. And for me, that has been the biggest stepping stone forward in just about every positive aspect, and even negative aspect of my life, to be able to appreciate everything with the lens of the, again, that kind of wisdom that you don't find often until you're older. A lot of what I've learned has been through deliberate practice, has been appreciating the showing up, clocking in for improving myself and being the best version of myself. And it has led me to walk around any space with a confidence knowing full well that I'm going to be okay. Fear is rarely in the forefront of my mind. AOC taught me that fear is a construct and that the notion that other people are better fit for things than I am is simply my way of talking myself down. We're all in a horizontal playing field. The world is my oyster, and it means that I have full domain over whatever I want to do. So if I had to explain to someone what it is that they would get out of maybe doing a program like this, specifically this one, is that there is an opportunity for anyone to understand that their self-limiting beliefs are of their own creation. And maybe you're just tired of hearing over and over again that you're just acting weird about it or that someone's telling you what you're thinking is wrong. You don't understand how there is an ability, there's an opportunity here for you to refocus how you approach your life from simply being at cause or I'm sorry, at effect of life and rather be at cause of it. I remember a specific moment where one of the older coaches, Alex Weber, he took me out through Central Park because this is still in New York. And I asked him, so where are we going? And he told me, wherever you want to go, what do you want to do? And I looked at him and I said, I want to go up the rock. Why not? I want to go up the rock that's in the middle of Central Park. And he's like, so why are we still here? And it was one of the most empowering moments of my life. So I would tell anyone that would be considering a program like this, is if you want to feel that empowerment, that level of confidence that you just know is yours because you chose it, there are opportunities. This is one of the best opportunities to be able to understand that, to be able to grasp that, to embrace it, and to carry it forward.
