 Okay, now it's recording. Hold on one second. Let me um where hold on I just need my glasses one last piece to the mixture here. Yeah, I'll get it down here. Boom. So I just had a I just had a thing down here right and I'm like I'm like trying to get all my my juices going. All right, thank you. So this whole table is filled with books. Yeah. And I'm just, you know, I'm all about I'm all about studying just like you, you know, putting the putting it to work, you know. Yeah, I mean, I guess you kill me with the implementation because it just you just take so much action. That's it. In the universe rewards action. So that so I appreciate it because an exact proportion of what you put in, you will get out. So it's only up to me as a creator in the universe to get what I put in. So there's no complaining from my end at all. Yes. So anyway, we're recording now. Yeah. So so this is Stacey Cross. The name it shouldn't be she shouldn't be called Stacey. It should be more like move cross because she doesn't stop moving. Yeah. I saw her in an interview with Grant Cardone. You know, sitting there talking with him. Not like I'm doing but literally sat there with him with which I'm very jealous of. And he she runs a business or company called Comfort Killers. I still don't have any idea what she does. I just saw her energy, her passion, and boom, like I just I just immediately like, oh, I don't I don't care if she sells candy. I need to talk. Yeah, I love that man. I love that. So you took action and you didn't even know. Oh, I mean, you promoted me to you. You infected me with it. Well, you know, so I am Stacey a cross. And there is no E in my name. And I'm all about action. I paid with action, paid with energy, paid with efforts, paid with attitude, paid with discipline. Oh man, and I'm so grateful to be here with you today, Robbie. I love it. Holy shit. Where can I get that? You know what what you're injecting? Oh man, listen, they kind of sell it at the local CVS Mart for about 2 million a bottle. But here's the deal. We all have it within us. And once I learned that, okay, you know how, you know, you could pay with currency. And I try to tell everyone currency is not the only form money is not the only form of currency. So I said, you know what, I'm going to pay with energy. What do I have a limitless abundance and infinity of? And I paid with energy. So instead of complaining about being tired, like even when you called me today, right, for this interview, I said, man, I'm, hey, I'm jumping in and out. You said, no, today is the day. I said, okay, today's the day then. Today is the day then. Awesome, awesome, awesome. I just had a video I talked to a friend of mine called me and he was in a bad mood because of a fight with this girl. Is sort of, you know, the ex-girlfriend that you didn't break up with yet? The one that's always lingering there. Yeah, yeah, the lingerer, the corpse that you carry. So I instantly, he said, Oh, I'm in a bad mood. So I cut him and started rationally explaining because I'm a coach type, kind of explaining why the mechanism happened until it was like, Oh my God, I'm calling to, to break up with her. So that's kind of my way of dealing with, with, you know, low level consciousness. And I thought like that's the way. And then I met you. And apparently, I mean, if this guy calls you right now, you'll be like, it doesn't matter, you know, get more. I'll be like, I'll be like, hang up the phone. I mean, I think what I've learned is the only way to sense what's happening is how I feel. So if, if I'm speaking to someone with low energy, low consciousness, and it's making me feel bad and I'm angry, I'm upset, that's what I want to trim off. That's what I want to cut. So what I'll tell your friend is, cut, hang up the phone, hang up the phone and do something that makes you feel good. When you talk about motivation and self-motivation, the only way to feel good is to apply production. So whether your production is at the gym, whether your production is writing a couple articles, reading a few books, you have to do something. You have to keep moving in movement for motivation. Boom. Boom. Hang up the goddamn phone. You know? Yeah, that's so awesome. Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's so good. I mean, I've been having some trouble lately. I do five videos every single day. I write about 10 pages every day, you know, work out every day, read it, two hours every day, Instagram, like everything, every day. Yeah. So I've just, today I posted a video about it because I felt down today for the first time in a while. Yeah. Sometimes you feel up and down and that's normal, but I felt like down. Like I don't want to do this. I felt down and I was wondering why and I think you're just answering the question for me because apparently just doing, you know, the video or just writing, it isn't enough. You have to actually apply the production to it. It's not just a check mark. Yeah. You have to actually put the heart in it and actually that's what's going to give you even more energy. Oh, yeah. Even more because if you're going to a bad cycle, you start, you know, you take a bit of, you invest a bit less here, a bit less there, and it's like a negative down spiral. Right. You start, you know, keeping energy from all sorts of places. Right. And then you don't have any energy, any energy and no production. Right. No production. Now I don't want to ever get to that state. So, you know, I'm very careful with my energy and the most of the blood suckers of energy comes from, you know, people or the things we watch or if we're not on purpose. And the basis of being not on purpose is, is it takes up more of your energy than actually being on purpose. So I love what you said because you made me think because I'm all about production and activity and action. Right. I started this company, the Comfort Killers. I know it sounds negative. Right. When people hear, oh, the Comfort Killers, what is it? I actually thought it was negative too. I typed it in Google and serial killers came up, but I'm like, no, I'm kill comfort. I'm going to turn this damn thing into a whole personal development and self-improvement space. I want to make it the biggest, the largest, the number one self-improvement place for product and services in the world. So that's a huge mission. My mission in life is to teach millions how to get uncomfortable, to think better, act better and live better. It's huge. Right. So as long as I stay on purpose, I always feel good. We all have those days that you have, Robbie. We're up, down. We're sideways. We don't know if we're coming or going. But here's the deal. Once we stay on purpose, once we have that big, scary monster humongous goal on our shoulder, man, we're always on the right track, baby. And I love it. Oh yeah. You can always use your goals to forget everything around you and just, yeah. Yeah. That's why I cut a lot of people off. I mean, when I started this journey and this journey of mine, and we always talk about, oh, what's the destination? I have no destination, man. I climb mountains for a living. If someone asks me, what do you do? Like you did today? What the hell do you do? Sell candy? I sell candy and climb mountains for a living because there's no destination when it comes to this. So the goals got to be big and got to be scary. Like Rand Cardone said in the 10x rule, man, and that's the first, that's the book that I listened to that started this whole entire thing right here is because I wasn't doing enough. I realized, man, I really am not doing enough. So you know what I did? I cut off the cable. I stopped doing the things that made me feel bad. And I just put that activity into that big purpose, this big mission about self-improvement and personal development, baby. Holy shit, holy shit, Stacey. You've probably been told before that you're pretty hypnotizing as a speaker. I mean, I've done many interviews. I talk to people every day for hours. And I've never talked to somebody who I'm like, you know, swallowing every word, like, okay, oh yeah, oh my God. It's awesome. You're beaming. You're beaming with life. And actually, I even had like a cool epiphany we talk about the goals. And you said, you know, when you can remember, when you have the goal in mind, the big juicy goal, then you don't see any trouble. You just see passion. And actually, I just thought of something. I'm really surprised. I haven't thought about it for 22 years. When you look up into the sky, there's no trouble. All you see around you is like the infinity and the stars. And then you're like thinking about, you know, your money problems, relation and like, it doesn't even relate in that context. You're like, Oh, there's, there's, like we look front backwards left right down. But if you look up, right, no problem. Well, here's the thing, Robbie. Here's what here's the thing. And I love that because it always puts me into the perspective of why don't we look within and the answers come, you know, you just said it, we look up, right? We, we pray that, you know, we see the, we see the infinity, we see the limitless, right? We look down, we look to the left or right, there's traffic, but we never seem to look within because I believe 100% that your life and universe within reflects and mirrors the life and universe without. So that's what I do, Robbie, is even instead of looking up, I look within first because I know whatever I see up, I put it there. It's in me already. Oh, that's so awesome. Yeah. That's so cool. So where can people give more of that injection of yours? Oh, so I built a website. I built and designed a website, man. I, I've been designing websites since I was like, since the internet first came out with aol.com slash members HTML. I sucked at it. Geo cities. You weren't even born yet. But here's the, I built the, I built the website, the comfort killers.com. If you're lazy, you could just put comfort killers.com. If you're extra lazy, go to Google and just type comfort killers.com baby. And of course I'm at Stacey a cross. There is no E in my name on all the socialite sites. Snapchat, LinkedIn. I write a million articles divided by eight. How many, how many keyboards have you broke? I'm on a monster. I'm on a monster. Um, laptop. It's like, I don't even know the screen is like 22 inches. So when I travel with it, people are like, damn, what are you bringing your desktop for? I don't care. Leave me alone. This is a big, but yeah, I'm on medium. Um, Stacey a cross and, and of course on Facebook, uh, Stacey a cross or Stacey, my gut, my whole thing is there. Stacey and Marie cross. All right. Don't tell nobody I told you though. All right. Awesome. Awesome. Wow. I mean, um, look, I have the same dreams like you, you know, changing life, becoming massively famous, traveling, speaking to thousands. I mean, you, you beat me to it. Like it doesn't matter if I do five videos and you do one, one a week. Like I think with, just with your enthusiasm, it's such a strong vehicle. Yeah. A leverage for every 10 things I do, one thing that you do with that enthusiasm. No, absolutely. It impacts is more deeper. Yeah. Well, you know what? I think everyone that their true self has a vehicle, right? I think sometimes, you know, what I've done in my past was try to be someone else, try to be something else, whatever the ads are telling me to do, whatever the teachers are telling me to do, my family is telling me to do. That's who I was. So when I realized I am not authentic and I got authentic very quickly after realizing I am important, right? I am unique. I am a genius, a genie in a bottle. I got the genes. I am so genuine with it. So once I realized, you know, let me be myself, let me be that person that's quirky, that stutter sometimes, that's antsy, because that's who I am. And when I realized that man, the vehicle, the voice, and of course this thing called social media took it by storm. Do you know when I started this company? I would guess a year or two ago. Oh, I like that. I like that guess. It was nine months ago, the day that I interviewed Grant Cardone. And I walked out of a seminar on Valentine's Day, February 2016, fell in love with myself, went back home, and I didn't want to go again. I said, you know what? I can't have anyone try to motivate me if I'm unable to motivate myself. If I continue doing the things that got me to this place, I can't go there and complain and try to put that on my to-do list as if I did something right. You know, so I came home and I just pumped out activity, activity, activity, activity. I didn't even know what the mission was. Reading, yo, look, tons of books daily. My goal is to read 52 books a year. And the bigger the better, baby. And I love the way books smell. Oh, me too. Holy shit. Yeah. Like a brand new car. I love it. I love it. By the way, your day of transformation was on my birthday. Really? Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, you know what? And then this is a divine connection. I mean, that same day, I've also had an epiphany. I was like, fuck this. I'm not taking it fast enough. I decided to do a huge lecture. Basically, I was like, okay, I'm currently making, you know, a lot of money working with small clients. Yeah. And I said, okay, let's think, I'm, let's think twice bigger. Just said, let's do it 200 people lecture. And then I said, no, if I'm thinking twice bigger, let's think two times more. Right. 400. And I said, no, fuck it. Let's do two times more. 800. And that happened in the shower, in the 40 minute shower. Wow. Go take a shower whenever I'm depressed because I just think in the shower. Yeah. And I went out of the shower immediately called the first company that I found that has an auditorium large enough. It was $20,000. I basically paid for it in cash, sort of. It's like a contract. So it's, yeah, yeah, it's done. Like once you sign it, it's done. Right. And I had two and a half weeks to get 800 people to come to a lecture where pretty much nobody knew me. Like I had, had like 50 fans and clients, but that's it. Other 750 who, by the way, the 50 are not going to be my clients because they're already in my clients. So it was crazy. It was the scariest commitment I've done to that date. And basically started making like, I think like 100 phone calls a day plus gave like a four hour lecture every day. Nobody was allowed to leave the room before they invited all their friends through Facebook, you know, all of their friends. I love it. And then I also did a viral video. I was like, yeah, you know, I knew people would hate me, but I did something provocative. I stood in my beachfront apartment. I was like, I make more money than you, your mom, your dad, your uncle, your aunt and everybody in your life combined. Yeah. That's why I want you to come. And that video got to like combined with the next few ones to almost 200,000 people. I love that. And I got, I missed the mark. They got 550 people. Yeah. Yeah. But, but, but, but yeah, it's more than I thought I was able to. That means in stemming from a shower, right stemming from just a mindset click. That's amazing, bro. That's scary. That's scary how in one day, like somebody could know you and then the next day, just because of a win, yeah, or bam, like a full throttle to another direction. Right. No, I mean, I, I freaking respect that I'm over here like, wait, can I, can I help? How can I, how can I be a part of it? I mean, at the end of the day, though, Rob, that's, that's huge. I respect that. What was the topic of that? Excuse me, seminar. How I, how I managed to do a 500 people seminar. That was the topic. I improvise all my lectures. So I didn't know what it would be about. So apparently that was the topic. I freaking love it, man. That's what we gotta do. There's no, there's no book written about what you could do and how you could do it. There's a lot of digital marketers. There's a lot of MLM companies. There's a lot of step by step guides out there, but I think we're scared and afraid to, to implement our own step by step guide, like without following any rules. And I love what you did. That's awesome. Totally inspirational. It's, it's, it's, I mean, it's, it's all bullshit. Like you look, of course, learning is important, but eventually, just like Grant says, you need to commit because once you commit, that's when the genius part, because I would have, I would have never made that video. I would have never forced people to, literally forced people, you're not allowed to leave the apartment before inviting your friends to this. What I think happens is that we in life, we have a certain set of priorities. And, and let's say one priority is how we feel, how people will think about us, financial risk. And basically it's like a hierarchy. The things you peel. Yeah, I don't remember. So the more you're committed and I don't, I don't, for me, commitment isn't something, you know, there's basic level commitment, which is when you say I'll do it. And then there's also, you know, put your money where your month is committed that asks, what would you, like, let's you have a goal? You ask yourself, what would I do if I knew that I would achieve this goal? And, and it's scary because I've done this, I've done this on higher levels. The highest one was, was, was literally moving into a villa with, with a pool next to it that cost about 15,000 a month to rent and going from one employee to 10 in literally five days. And, and, and I lost almost a hundred thousand dollars. But I tell people when you, and it was traumatic, but I tell people when you do that kind of commitment, like do or die commitment, either, if you have that calling, I mean, if something you knew is like, yeah, come on, you know, you can, yeah, because sometimes you just don't have that. You just want to, you know, move forward steady. Yeah. If you have that, just being, just know that if it works insane, you just jump like 10 steps forward in one leap, you know? And if it fails, you basically gained like five or 10 years of wisdom. Oh yeah. Yeah. In, in, but you suffered five or 10 years of wisdom. So you, you, you chunked it into like a couple of months or a couple of weeks. I agree, man. I agree 100%. It's awesome what you're doing, Robbie. I'm, I'm inspired. Me too. Yeah, I'm inspired. That's great. So I, I, when you said you did that video with Grant, that was the day you started the company. Yeah. I didn't even look at the data. I thought that interview was like a month or a week ago because you talked about that company. No, no, no, it's as if it's, as if it's, it's already established like No, no, no, it's, you know, let me clarify. So I started the company, February, February, this month, this year, 2016, February. And I had the interview when you saw it two days ago, three days ago. What day, what day is it? I never know the day of the week. What was it? 16th or 16th. All right. So I had that, I had that interview done on the 16th on Wednesday. So yeah, so you're right. I talk about it like it's established, it is. Awesome. Listen, we, we're here, we're here, man, to trick ourselves into this, right? If we do, if we talk about what we're scared of, we'll talk about not doing it or what we can do. I came home so pumped. I'm ready to frickin, I'm ready to frickin see Oprah. I'm ready to put yo Tony Robbins, Tony Robbins, I'm coming for him because he said I didn't have right credit to go see him. I'm coming for him. He's next on my list. But at the end of the day, I already talk as if the things are already achieved. And one of the things that I do is, is put targets on my list every day. Grant Cardone, man, you don't have a show on Grant Cardone TV, right? No. Yes. So the show on Grant Cardone TV is called The Comfort Killers, man. I have about, I guess like 20 episodes already on that show. So it's crazy, Rob. You don't know. I didn't. No, no, no. So yeah, I got it. Now the fans know as well, my fans. Yeah. Yeah. So Grant Cardone TV slash Comfort Killers, forward slash Comfort Killers. And of course, I keep popping out products such as content, high value premium content to, you know, how to increase your income, things like that that we need that people think. What can I buy for me? You could buy my famous new three seas of change webinar, right? So if you go to my website right now, you'll see a few products on there. One of which is my webinar is three seas of change. I battled addiction. I battled gambling addiction, right? And the book of session tells me exactly what I needed to do. Good thing that I created a webinar with three seas of change, which I believe are confront, you know, then you commit, then you create. So I go through it with 10 videos in my three seas of change webinar. And you could get that the ComfortKillers.com slash webinar. Then I have. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And I have the ComfortKillers staple shirt. Then I wrote an ebook in less than 24 hours, the ComfortKillers handbook, that's out. Then I got these bad boys, these journals here, the ComfortKillers journals. So it's all about, it's all about product development. And I'm, I'm not in the tomfoolery, right? So I only talk about things that I know. You can talk about anything. I mean, with that enthusiasm, it doesn't matter. I'm gonna sell candy soon, man. Yo, boy, take that candy. Take this candy right here. You could easily pursue like, like a career assisting rappers. Yeah. Yeah. Wagon. Oh, you know what's, you know, what's funny is that I used to have, I used to rap. So I have about 200 songs that I've done. And, you know, in my, in my previous years, up to 2008, I have albums, man. So yeah, what happened? The housing boom, the housing collapse in the year? Yo, I'm like, fuck that. No, but you know what, I got, I got real, I got real positive. And a lot of my raps were negative. And I was like, man, this is not what something I love. I'm a hip hop head to heart. And so I know that that's my calling, but it helped me put words together. It doesn't matter. You're getting famous. It can do whatever the fuck you want. I mean, I love you, Rob. Okay, so, so the three seasons, right? These three seas. So three seas of change, confront, commit and create that program right there, change my life. That's how I, that's how I battled the addiction, but I didn't battle addiction. I confronted it. Yeah, I have, I have, I mean, I've, I've also been, you know, battling addictions. So many of my clients and also fans are people who are addicted to shit, you know, because basically what Grant calls like the obsessed people. So, so I think this, like, I personally recommend to the people who follow me, if you have a, if you masturbate too much, you're too, you're negative all the time, or you hate your life, or you have a really bad drug habit. You can turn that into greatness. And I mean, I would, I would, I would say, like, I would say, okay, so maybe talk to me, talk to Grant, but look, if you're going to get half of Stacey's enthusiasm. Yeah, I mean, I would send you to her to take care of it. Yeah, I got 10, I got 10 video segments, and I actually have a weekly call set up in the program. So you could go through the program as slow as fast as you want. We know that time is of the essence, baby, but we want you to be speedy with it and speedy to, to speedy to change. But the biggest part of, of changing, and a lot of people like, how do I change? How do I get rid of this? The, the, the, the hugest part, how do you change your habit? And I, and I had to learn this and put this to use is you don't, you don't mess with the queue, right? What queues you to do something. You also don't take away the reward. You only change the routine. And that's what the three, the three C's of change focuses on is the routine. So the last C in the three C's of change is to create baby. And I'll tell you all about that. Like I said, the comfort killers.com forward slash webinar. Awesome. Awesome. So this video is probably going to get about 200 views from dedicated followers who are all in requirement of that information. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. That's awesome. I'm only here. I'm only here to teach millions how to get uncomfortable. I'm only here to help people, man. That's it. Yeah. My, my, my knowledge of like what I teach is very specific. It's only for people. I don't currently deal with everyone. I deal with people who are, you know, kind of already pretty advanced in the success game, meaning, you know, they're already into win at the, like the one that extra, extra boasts. Yeah. Yeah. But, but somebody like you, I mean, you're, you're like a finished product. Like I think you, you just need to be put in front of like a 5,000 people, you know, it just, it doesn't matter if it's like somebody who's successful, who's not successful, who's, who hates life. Yeah. It's like this sort of vibe that's being enthusiasm. Yeah. What I can, I can summon that, but it's forced sometimes the way you kind of naturally are able to project it. Yeah. I'm sure you don't always feel like that, but just that ability. I mean, you just need attention. Like, like people are going to pay you just to talk like no product, no promise, no, just that just for that. Hey, what do you got to sell? I got energy, man. What do you got to sell? What do you got to sell? I got a box of energy. I'm going to just, you know what I'm going to do, get some empty water bottles and just put Stacey's energy and fucking, and I'm going to sell that in the back of the room, man. Yeah. I mean, I'd, I'd, I'd seriously consider, you know, just as an off topic, just doing like a, a short five, 10, like, like Grant's buttons, you know, it's like you create, look on the bottom. And if, and if you got the 10x, yeah, I got to get this energy out, man. You know, at the end of the day, man, I wake up and a bunch of people didn't wake up and that's where it comes from. I summon it in the morning, because if I open my eyes, bro, I just reflect on how many people did it. And I realize that if I'm not dead, that means that I'm not done. I got nothing to complain about. I should always be high energy, man. So that's, that's, I pay, I pay with energy, Robbie. Awesome. Awesome. I love your, I love your people too, by the way. I love your, I love your people too. I'm sure, I'm sure. They're very much like me. So, uh, yeah, if you're like me, definitely. Yeah, that's it. I love them. I love them to death now. Cool, cool Stacey. So it was so great talking to you. Yeah. I mean, we're definitely going to stay in touch after that. Definitely. I'm going to have to try to find a way to capture that attention, that enthusiasm. Yeah. And, uh, I mean, wow, you're probably burning like, like an insane amount of calories, just by being yo, no, I actually fell down the stairs the other day. I'm, I'm, my goal is to run a marathon within like the next year. So I've been training. I've been training and I felt, I fell down the stairs. So I got a limp with me and I did a split. It's the first time in my life I ever did a split. So I'm happy with that. Full split. And, but I, I sprayed my ligaments. So I'm waiting. I can't wait for it to heal. So I could go back out there and freaking dust the track off, man. I'm freaking. So awesome. Yeah, man. So that's it. Big goals. I don't know if I'm going to run the day of marathon, but it's a goal. I can tell you a small story about that. If you want. So, so when I was younger, I'm currently writing a book, you know, about kind of my life and what happened. So my life is basically a series of many life or death commitments to getting rich and becoming successful. And one day my worst commitment, I basically committed that if I'm not going to become a millionaire by a certain dates, I'll kill myself. It was like, it was not a good thing. And, and it wasn't from a good place. But what happened? I mean, what I'm trying to say is I'm leading you to the marathon thing. This is not a good story. It's a negative story, but, but it's a good implication about you for the marathon. Yeah. So it was, it was two days before the, the fucking day, you know, and I basically had a CEO of a major company who was in good contact with me. And what I said was, okay, if I just close in on $500,000 for like, you know, a couple of months of working with me, because that's how big you think when you don't have a choice. The deadline gets the bigger you have to think. And yeah, I know if we take away the suicide part, it was a really good thing if you could commit like that without that negative energy. So what happened was I said, okay, you have to commit because you're going to have to stand in front of him and be like, hey CEO, and this guy makes, I don't know, like $5 million a month. Yeah. And I had to be like, hey CEO, you're going to pay me $500,000 to a 22 year old guy to coach you, you know. And, and, and not only that, but I had to persist because I knew he was going to say no, obviously. But I said, if I persist enough, then he'll say yes. Just like if you read Think and Grow Rich, right? It's like the story of the little black girl in, in back in the 1800s. Yeah. And, and she, there was a slave owner and she said, my mom needs a, needs a coin, you know, she needs, you know, he's like, go away, I'm going to kill you or something. Mom needs a nickel. It's going to kill you. Go away. My mom needs a nickel and he just gave her a nickel and he's like, why did you do that? He's like, I don't know. So, so I was aiming for the same thing, what I call a coma death decision. Like I'm going to make it happen or I'm in a coma or dead. Right. So I said, okay, if I just make a decision that no matter what happens, I'm going to get that money, then it just has to happen. You know, it's either that or something really bad happens, but I'm not going to go away thinking there was something I could do. Right. So I said, okay, how do I commit to this? Again, mind you, tomorrow I'm becoming a millionaire or in two days I'm dead. So it was that real to me. It was awesome. Yeah. I went away from the villa it wasn't like the richest district in Israel to the beach, which like two minutes to the beach. Yeah. And basically I said, okay, I'm going to run all the way to Rishon. It's a city 40 kilometers away. I'm going to run all the way there. And again, mind you, I have a flat foot, you know, is that called flat foot? Yeah, where you walk for like more than an hour or two, if you don't have, you know, good support, your feet will kill you. So and mind you, I didn't run in like three years, not once. I didn't work out in that period and even got, you know, a bit of a belly because I was just so stressed all the time. Right. So like the biggest disadvantage. So I said, okay, I'm going to run 40 kilometers. And then I'm going to run 40 kilometers back. It was like 7pm. I was like, I'm going to make it, you know, all there and back. And no training, you know, nothing, nothing, nothing. Yeah. So I basically, if, and if I make it one, I said, okay, if I make it the way in back, it means I'm going to close them on a million, like not just 500,000, but on a million. Yeah, yeah. Because I proved that I'm back committed. Because after you wrote that, it's like you fought a lion. It's like, I'm not going to be afraid of some social discomfort. Right. And I said, you know, even, even if I go in a wheelchair, like I'm not going to, you know, I might have to come in tomorrow in a wheelchair, literally, like rolling myself in. And that was what's literally what's, what's going on in my head. So I started running first 10, 15 kilometers. Because you aim so far, you probably notice that the further you aim, like the more you meditate, you know, if you do a 20 minute, you aim for 20 minutes, 20 minutes is a lot. But if you aim for an hour, 20 minutes, it passes like that. Right. So, but then you try to trick your brain. And now it's auntie. So it only works if you really mean it. Yeah. So I started running first 20 kilometers, just fine. But then in the middle, now the flat coats started coming in. These were really good shoes, but it only goes so far. So, so I had to slow down, literally to really fast walking, because my feet hurt like hell. Right. And then around the 30 kilometer mark, my knees, you know, my knees began to hurt. That means that it's like a level. So when, when the pain in the feet is so strong that it can't be any stronger. Yeah. The knees and after the knees, it's the hip. Yep. So it got to the knees. And then the last three kilometers, that's three, two kilometers. I was walking like literally like that. I was, I was, I wasn't even walking. I was limping every single step felt like, like, bam, bam. Right. It was like hitting me. I couldn't walk almost. And finally I got to the beach to the, in ratio, basically the 40 kilometer mark. Yeah. Just going down the stairs. You know, it's like, you know, how maybe like, oh yeah, I'm tired. And then you have like the final, you know, minute or two and then you speed up. The adrenaline kicks in. So I couldn't speed up. I basically, I slowed down because I was dead. It wasn't like I had some energy within me. I basically burnt out and was slowly dying. And so I reached it and I finished, it was 40 kilometers, which is almost a marathon. I think a marathon is like 45. Well, yep. 26.2 miles is what I know it is. Yeah. Oh, so, so it's 35. So actually it did more than a marathon. Oh, very nice, man. I did more. And I didn't do the way back, you know, needless to say. Yeah. But I, I, I sat there and I, you know, there's no rush after it. There's no orgasm. It's just like, oh my God. And basically for the next two days, I was walking with crutches. Yeah. I had to decide between a wheelchair and crutches. And I thought, okay, it's not, it, I mean, it would be disingenuous if I could use wheelchair. Yeah. I could almost walk. So I just support it with my hands. It was fine. Right. And for the next two weeks, on my, on my foot, I had like this big lump all around the foot. Killer. Yeah. So, and yeah. So that, I mean, regarding what you're saying about the, basically what I'm trying to tell you to inspire you. Did you get the money? No, no, no, it, it was pretty bad. I basically, I basically came there. It's, it's pretty sad story, but I basically came there. I couldn't even go up to his office because I was so nervous because it was literally life or death and it wasn't up to me. I didn't feel anymore like it was up to me. Right. Because it's not like you almost have a deal. It's somebody who's, you know, he barely just talked to you a couple of times. Right, right, right. And I just drove to your graveyard basically and sat there for like a couple of hours. I thought, okay, any moment, I'm probably gonna die. Yeah. But yeah, it took, it took a few months to recover emotionally. And again, I'm happy it happened. I'm much, because of it, on my purpose more. And again, I have the life experience at this point of like a 70 year old guy just from the ups and downs I went through. And obviously I'm never afraid it's going to happen again because I've been at the worst and I've survived. Right. You know, how JK Rowling says, she says the rock bottom was the foundation she built her success on. Right. Harry Potter. No, I love that. I love, because, you know, I'm so hard on myself. And because I don't want, if anyone's going to be hard on me, I need it to be myself. Right. So I am full of discipline. I love discipline. Discipline is my thing. I'm not eating, I'm not eating meat November. So I always give myself something for a month. Right. And we all know that it's Thanksgiving month here in the States. And everything is about the turkey. And why did I, why did I put it this month? Right. Why did I say a marathon? Why didn't I say a 5k? You know, why did I say that I want to take this thing exploded? Why a million people? Why not 1000? You know, why am I doing this? And it's because I always want to stretch myself and pull myself because we're great. I mean, look at you. You freaking ran more than a marathon. He, wait, and you, and you actually ended it there. Like you, you did it, man. You know, and a lot of people will be like, what the hell are we doing? And just turn around and walk home, walk the other way. While you still have a leg left, but not you, man. You kept it going because you promised yourself. And what I love is that, and I'm glad you didn't keep up the other end of the promise. But I love that it took that you, you put yourself in that situation and you went for it. That's what I think that we're lacking. And that's what the comfort killers is all about. Because if you're comfortable, man, I got something for that ass. I love you. I love the stories, man. It's inspiring. I'm actually, I'm actually ready to do something crazy now. Yeah. I mean, I mean, I'm not going to, like, I don't like putting people in this situation. So I'm not going to tell you what to do. I'm just going to give you a, like a hint or like a Yeah, give me a hint. Go ahead. Yeah. Cross again. Show, show it more. It's showed more because I'm, okay. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. I'm just putting it up there. It's something to do. You know, I got ADD. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's, it's, it's perfect. You're the symbol of anti ADD. So, so, so, um, the reason I managed to run it, and again, I'm not a, I'm not a running guy, I have to say. I'm not about, I'm not about running. I hate running. I'm not good at it. At least that's what I believe. I never ran more than like two miles in my life. Right. Right. And I never thought I could. Basically, I put, I was in a very special situation. It was like a cheat code because it's, as if somebody tells you like, Hey, Stacy, you're either going to run this marathon or you're going to die. So, so it was pretty easy for me to make it because that implicated that if I won't be able to run the marathon, I won't be able to close the deal, which I'll die. So, so basically something like that, like a marathon, it's basically a question of, um, because Will Smith also said it, I mean, I'm sure you're inspired by him like, like hell, like I am. Yeah. When he said, uh, I'll run on a treadmill. I'll beat you. I'll always beat anyone on a treadmill because I'll either run more or I'll die. Yeah. So I just have to read to win. So exactly. So what you're doing, the way I want you to look at running this marathon is not like you're, um, getting prepared so that hopefully you'll be able to do it. It's basically the, what you, the pain you're putting in now is basically so that you, you have to pay less later. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. If you, if you don't do it today, it's gonna, it's like a bill. It's like bam. Yep. And yeah, it'll go home. Like, like you said, like, like limping in a wheelchair or something. But the more you practice now, uh, the more, because you're competing with, it's not a competition where you have to practice ahead of time. You know, in a real competition, the guy who trained before the competition wins, not the guy who decided on the same day, like, oh, I'm going to win because practice beats everything. But if you're competing with yourself, then, then there's really no limits. So yeah, that's an idea I've been toying around with since that day. Like, hey, if you like decide something has to happen and you genuinely decide it's a life or death commitment, you know, how far does it go? Like, it goes, I mean, it goes forever. That's, that's, that's basically the concept that I built this company off. Like there was no, the other option was that pretty much figuratively I died, right? Cause there's no other option. So I put myself up, I put myself, listen, I don't compete. I'm not here to compete. Just like Grant said, it's struck with me because I don't care what anyone says. I really am not here to compete. I'm here to dominate, but I'm always in competition with myself. And you cannot compete with someone who's always in competition with themselves, you know? So that's, that's just how I flow. And as far as this marathon, man, I've been training, I've been training already. I got, I got, I got far places already. The idea is I don't want to fucking run this thing. That's it. I don't want to run it. But you know what? Life or fucking death, that's why I love you so much, Rob. I will run this marathon and probably run past the goddamn marathon up the street. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. The funny thing is that if you aim a bit more, we'll actually make the marathon itself easier. And then you can give up after. Like you can aim like to do a marathon plus like a five miles. Right. And then, and literally like once you get past the marathon, you're like, I'm kidding. I'm done. And you actually pass faster. Yep. I love that. You can trick your brain. If you can actually like backwards trick your brain because it's a skill you can learn to like trick your brain to aim further even if you don't really mean it. Right. So it makes the, it makes it easier. Right. No, I love it because I did that all summer long. I did a lot of detoxing and it was hot as hell outside and everything hurt. And I just wanted a bowl of pasta and I tricked myself like I totally tricked myself as soon as I got up, I swear to God, I got the video online. Actually it's called I am Stacy Cross on YouTube and you could see where I'm like tricking myself and I say it. I'm like, I feel great and I'm lying to myself. Oh yeah. Yeah. So at the end of the day, that's what I'm about. I'm about tricking the mind biohacking and doing everything necessary to succeed man. So I love it. Awesome. Oh, that's what biohacking is. Biohacking is is a lot, well biohacking more so like if your blood type is all positive, you know, you try to eat the foods and the nutrients and things that work well with your blood and body type. Right. So you're not working against your body. This right here is a, this is right here is alkaline water, ionized the pH balance is high. It's not acidic. So, you know, I'm doing things on a daily basis and then, and then measure the results. Okay. Because at the end of the day, if there's no measurement, right. If there's no graph on this thing, I don't know what the hell, what the hell I did. So if I drink this for a month straight and then I had a result, I plot that in the graph of life and then try again with something else to see if this was the reason. Man, this is all about life man. We just, I just changed, I just changed, I changed the routine. That's it. That's it. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. And the funny thing is that you measure when it's good and you don't measure when it's bad or stagnating. Like that's the people who need it the most. Yeah. That's it. Just show somebody like, Hey, look, your life is the same here and it's the same here and it's the same here and it's the same here. And he's like, Oh right. I need to change. Yeah. Well, and you know, with the graph of life, you know, I always say if you're going up in a positive trend on a graph of life, and when you magnify that upward trend, you always see that it's really like this. It's really going down and never really just sky rock it's up. And of course, the downtrend, you notice that it goes down like this and numbers like the stock market, but then that there's that line, right? The flat line, you're fucking dead. Okay. That's the line that's scary as hell to me, right? I don't, that's the comfortable line. Even when you're negatively trending down, you're at least doing something. You're failing, you're learning more wisdom is applied and you could change that in any direction you want. But if you're just like this, nine or five every day, go home, go to sleep, watch the walking dead, turn off the TV, watch NFL, go to a shitty barbecue, don't do nothing, same thing weekend, go out, spend money, it's your fucking dead man. Oh, I mean, you told me you do the courses thing. I completely agree. You do courses right now. Recently, you've done a course on statistics. I think it's called conditions of action. Basically, what they say there is that there's no difference between, there's basically formulas for how to, like formulas for dealing with different, you know, if it's going up a bit up a lot up down, there's no, so they have just one formula. It's called danger for straight line and for slide down. So they don't even say that there's a difference. So they say if it's going straight or slightly down in both cases, it's the same problem and you need to fix it the same. Yeah. No, no, no, I agree with it. But here's the thing. When you have that straight line, right, I think that you actually have to go down first. Like something has to happen first for you to recognize and get the wisdom. Like there's a lot of people in the middle class that's working on this line. Like for instance, there's a lot of people in my family that's just, they're just cool with this fucking line right here. Oh, well, yeah. I was on, I was on this line going down, but I was still risking shit, right? It wasn't a bad way. I was still addicted to gambling. I was still spending my time buying fucking juice and alcohol and going out. But at the end of the day, I learned something. I learned that I didn't feel good. Right? Yeah. Yeah. But let me tell me how your family felt about this straight line in the 2008 mortgage crisis. Oh, they, they, they're still feeling it about that straight line. It's not, it's not so straight. It's like, I mean, it's straight, but it got down. It's still declining. And I mean, hey, listen, they weren't prepared, right? And neither, neither was I, you know, at that time. So yeah, even if I give them knowledge, right? Even if I say, Hey, listen, this, this is what you probably need to do. Get some, get some knowledge, go around different types of people and get rid of the goddamn house and do what you have to do and go out for your dreams. And I don't know what dreams my family has. They don't listen, they only want the American dream, right? They only want to retire at 65. They want to work all their life and they want to go to a baby shower. Yeah. They didn't, of course they didn't like it, but they don't understand it. You know, I mean, I mean, with, with, with my family, there's the same. They have, you know, the, like you said, the Israeli dream, you know, just having basically asked my mom, like, what's my dream? And she says to stop having worries. And no, but I, I think that I use that. So I don't try to tell my family, like, Hey, you should have, you know, bigger dreams and stuff. What I say is I'm going to achieve my dream, become super successful financially, have them never worry about money again. And by the way, it doesn't even, I don't even need to get to the finish line. I just need 10% towards it for them to be basically, basically I need to give them like maybe a million dollars, maybe, maybe a million point five to feel, you know, maybe three million. Okay. If we go really far, to secure their whole life. And I mean, you know, much more than that. And I, I just say, okay, Robbie, don't tell them anything. Let them be, just make sure they don't die for any reason. As long as, as long as they're alive, you know, and as long as you do it fast enough, that they don't die because I'm also aware that people die sometimes just from heart. You know, so I'm like, okay, there's also a bit of time pressure on it. Yeah. As long as they're alive and you got, you know, enough money to give them, maybe in one go, maybe a bit of, you know, a couple of, you know, 50,000, 20,000 a month, just to give them, then now they won't have that anxiety, that pressure anymore. Maybe then they'll think about their dreams. Yeah. You're created and upline for them. Right. No, no, no. And I love that. And I get it. So when I said that I don't even know what their dreams are, they, of course they, they're not thinking about it. And it's a traditional cycle, right? We're Jamaican. We, my grandparents came here for the American dream. My mom has the American dream still stitched, even though it's an illusion, right? So yeah, my goal is to break the cycle in tradition, to break the cycle in conventional wisdom and then do for them what they couldn't do for themselves and never throw it back in their face. I'm only here to succeed, man. I want to be great. Awesome. Yeah. What they couldn't do for their parents, by the way. And that's it. And you just break the cycle now by breaking the cycle. Everyone else coming up in the generations will have a new mindset from thereafter. And it's still up to them, you know what I mean? Maybe, maybe it's my age, but I don't really care what happens like beneath me. I care like the people that raised me. Yeah. I can repay them. Yeah. Like I'm just imagining, you know, buying my mom like the most beautiful house or even just giving her that million dollar check. How would she feel, man? That shit would be so beautiful, man. I just got off the phone with my mom today, man. And my thing is I just want to, like, I can't keep surprises. Like I can't keep them, you know? So if I fall, if I'm like, yo, listen, mom, I just got you this thing here. There's million dollar check. And I mail it to her. I will call her before the thing lands in her box and be like, mom. Yeah. I'll just talk to other people about it. Like, oh, I gave her, I gave her to calm it down a bit. Yes. So man, let me, let me, let me get up out of here. I had so much fun with you. I think you're amazing, man. Of course, your wisdom is way past your years. So I'm not even going to talk about your age. It doesn't matter. You've been here before. You know, you have been here multiple times before. So I'm glad that you're sitting right here in front of me now and we've connected because I think that we're going to, we're going to grow this relationship and you have, you know, inspired me, Rob. You too. Yeah. That's mutual. Yeah. Awesome. So, so yeah, for anybody who's still watching, because people usually drop off at the half hour mark. So wait a second. This is live? No. Oh, okay. But for them it's live. Ah, any time you watch is live, baby. So, so for anybody who's still watching, probably 30, 40% that are still watching, yes, beautiful shirt. Yep. Definitely follow Stacy. I mean, even if you, I mean, you know, put, put aside what she says, the content, the everything. Just the, just the way she makes me feel. Yeah. Personally. You know, I need that. I need that somebody who's not, doesn't necessarily always make sense. Just, just talks and it's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. And because I focus on like, you know, every word has to have a content meaning behind it. And, and Stacy says every word has to have an energy behind. Yeah. I don't care. Yeah. Yeah. And it's funny. Yeah. Because it's all about self discovery. And I think that just that kind of energy when you experience it, you can, you get tapped into like who you are, when you feel like that, you know now who you are, when you feel like that, and you can start growing that. So actually by listening to you, people can find out who they are at their best. And be themselves. Yeah. How do I think when I listen to her? How do I feel when I listen to her? Yeah. What are my beliefs? Like, what do I care? Do I care about that thing that's bothering me anymore? Where is my focus at? Yeah. That way they can get to know themselves in your, in that state of mind that you create for them, help them create or help them find in themselves. So it's a map. It's a huge gift. I haven't, I only know one guy who has that ability. And he's so unfocused. He's made like two videos. So you're the only one left. Oh man. You have a big job. You have a big job. Yeah, man. I'll get it. I'll get it done. Don't worry. I got three videos pumping out probably by tomorrow. So sweet, sweet. We got them in. Awesome. Thank you, Stacey. Yeah. No, thank you so much again. Remember, I am a comfort killer and I am Stacey A. Cross and there is no E. There's no E in my name and it has been a pleasure. The ComfortKillers.com
