 Hey guys, welcome back to the 21 convention. I'm here with Ed Akin Great talk. I think you were the only one talking about self-defense and martial arts. I was really I Was really interested in what you had to say was great Can you tell the viewers a quick synopsis of what you covered? Yeah, I covered really the concept of killer instinct and I kind of made it more for the venue of the theme of this venue For men of how to tap into that side of ourselves and it can be a taboo subject It's it's really tapping in that killer instinct that allows us to in a combat of situation To bring up the most vicious side of ourselves, but that can actually save us in a life-and-death situation But that for me has had a tremendous effects in other areas of my life So if you're more introverted individual just tapping into that side of yourself will allow you to start to come out of your shell and to master your emotions and As a martial artist, that's one of the things we have to do is keep calm and under fire And at the same time bring this out this side of ourselves out at the appropriate time But also to shut it back off because we don't walk around the world being this crazy Streetfighter guy or whatever you want to call it. So yeah, I think for that part of it That was the main message is really we do have this power that we can tap to inside of it If you if you inside of us if you want to want to look at it like that And when we do that then and other areas of our life will make movement. Yeah, I like how you tied it back with everything You know, it's you have to be able to do that in all areas of life You have to be able to focus and you know remain cool under pressure and know when to go for that You know the kill blow or the killer instinct. Yeah. Yeah, and it can be you know It can be in subtle things It can be in conversations of when to deliver that killer, you know pick up line or open or whatever you want Competent sales and knowing when to close and when to shut yourself off and when to really, you know Up the up the emotional intensity behind what you're you're your messages or what your outcome is and even personally with goals A lot of us get stuck in that that box where we don't tap into that side of ourselves And so we don't even know it exists that we can actually have more and do more and I think just through the Physical expression of March like that has helped me tremendously, you know come out of my show and get those things You know, I think it's really important your message because there's you know, you can grow up these days They like for me I was never even bullied or picked on I went to like private schools and I had to develop that killer instinct I didn't do it through martial arts. I did it through ice hockey and that sort of thing But um, you know, I didn't have that for the longest time and it affected everything I couldn't really, you know express what I wanted or say no, so yeah, and ultimately it is about expression It's the more we can we can pull Either pull back because some people are too expressive too aggressive and they really need to be be calm and confident And feminine in a way Whereas other people need to get that pulled out of them so they can express and they can move and make movements in life And yeah, it doesn't have to be martial arts and some people have You know more more of one side of the spectrum innately and but it's something that can be you know Can be learned it can be trained and and but it's not our official It does come from within and when you wake people up to that it's like, oh wow, I can do this I can do this I can you know, get the girl get the money. Yeah, whatever it is But it really comes from that source. Mm-hmm. And what drew you to the event? Oh, gosh I was recommended to Anthony from Steve Maeda. So he's one of my students and so I Always I'm a certified hypnotist and neuro-linguistic programmer. So I just kind of kept my eye on this area of things and and then when I found out Steve my student was was Seduction coach then I you know, I know Ross Jefferies and some other people in the industry So that kind of sparked my interest in the convention And so he just recommended that I come and I'm grateful for that.
