What does it actually take to build a life and business you do not regret?

What This Episode Is About

Amy talks with Leanne Marie Webster, a former attorney turned international speaker and Ironman finisher, about her No Regrets Formula. Leanne walks through six pillars (commit, connect, create, conduct, credo, and crew) that come down to committing to yourself, embodying who you want to become, watching your inner chatter and focus, and surrounding yourself with people who protect your flame instead of blowing it out. Growing up in chaos taught her to rely on herself, and that self-trust became the through line of everything she has achieved.

I always say transformation starts with initiation.

Questions This Episode Answers

What are the six pillars of the No Regrets Formula?
Commit, connect, create, conduct, credo, and crew. It works as an ongoing circle, where you commit to yourself, connect to your vision, create a plan, take action while embodying that vision, manage your mindset, and surround yourself with the right people.
Isn't committing to yourself first selfish?
Leanne says no. It does not mean commit only to yourself, it means tune into what you want first and stay connected to it. If you do not put yourself first, nobody else will.
How does mindset affect my actual results?
Your chatter plus your focus equals your credo. Leanne uses a swimming example: focus on how far you have left and the swim feels endless, but repeat a calm, confident mantra and it flies by. What you focus on is what comes to pass.
What does embodiment mean in practice?
It means stepping into the role of who you want to be and making decisions from there. Ask what a healthy person eats, or what a million dollar CEO would decide, and act from that perspective rather than waiting to feel ready.
How do I know who belongs in my crew?
Enhancers protect your flame and say let's talk about that when you share a big idea. Detractors dim it and tell you to be realistic. They are not bad people, but be conscious of the role each one plays, especially on hard days.

What are you focusing on? You're focusing on, I have, I love physical examples for this. It's like when I was swimming for Ironman, not a big swimmer. And what I, when you're swimming, like when you're biking, you can like stretch and you drink some water.

You know, the scenery, usually if you're running, scenery, slow down, stretch, use the bathroom. When you're swimming, man, you're just swimming. There's no, and if you stop, then you are making zero progress on your race. And so you don't want to do that.

But you don't really eat in the swim water station. So what I would realize is I'd be swimming and man, if I was like, how far have I swam? This sucks. I really don't like swimming.

Oh my God, this is going to take forever. I think it's probably going to take me 41 minutes. How far have I gone? If that's the, what I was focused on and what's going on in my head, it's like the longest swim of my life.

Welcome to the Thrive Her podcast. I'm your host, Amy Sanders. I'm a fitness and wellness pro. Mom.

Step-mom. Second wife and master certified life coach. I'm here to help you manage your mind so you can uncover the most potent version of yourself and create a thriving life you love. Hello, hello, everybody.

Welcome back to the Thrive Her podcast. I'm your host, Amy Sanders, and I have another amazing guest today. Her name is Leanne Marie Webster. And as you guys know, I like bringing people on who have my same like heart.

And passion around all of the things I'm into. So this chick is totally awesome. She is an Ironman finisher. Some of you are like, what is that?

Go look it up. It's a big deal. It's a very long workout. She also just finished Mount Kilimanjaro.

Let's talk about that. But those are just like the tiny things. What she also has done, she's been on TV multiple times talking about multiple things. She loves to empower women.

She has created her own formula that's called the No Regrets Formula. And she coaches women. She coaches entrepreneurs. She is a former attorney that then turned into an international public speaker.

Like basically, she's got like a really long list of accomplishments that are awesome. I mentioned the fitness ones at the beginning just because you guys know that I'm into that. Welcome. We're so excited to have you.

And she has a powerful story and we just are going to dive right in. So tell us a little bit about you. And then we will just dig even deeper. I love it.

Thank you for having me here. I'm super excited. And I love I feel a real nice kinship with you. So I'm sure I will feel that with your audience, too.

So thanks for having me here. Yeah. All right. Where would you like me to start?

Sorry. I know. I'm like, OK, here's your introduction. And now let's go.

Actually, let's start back. So you have achieved a lot of things you've had. Basically, you've had to figure out life, right? Yeah.

And you had to figure it out because if we rewind all the way into her. Past, she does have a very interesting past. And so let's start there because that's what brought you to be what you are today. Right?

Yeah. Start at the beginning. Yeah. So I did have I grew up with a bipolar mother and an alcoholic father.

And the part that I don't have in my intro, which is actually probably the more impactful on that is my parents divorced when I was three. And we all went with my father, which was unusual at the time with the early 70s and at the age of four. So just a year after that happened, my brother, Daniel, was killed. And so it was like and he was 12 at the time.

It was a lot of disruption, a lot of chaos, really, in the family. And at that time in the early 70s, we didn't talk about mental health. No, we're not going to talk about that. Yeah.

That's a trauma, but let's just brush it under the rug. Exactly. And we were a poor family in southern Ohio. So even if we had money, it's like we didn't get therapy.

No one came and talked to us about it. And when I reflect back on that time, what I realized is I really learned at the age of four that I had to fend for myself, because when that happened, everybody had to go inward. We already were in chaos to begin with. And so it's I was like I picked myself up by the bootstraps and like, all right, I'm just going to figure this out.

And the benefit of it is I say I can MacGyver my way out of everything. Like you give me like duct tape and a Q-tip and then I will get the lock undone. Like I will. But it came from really my learning survival skills at the very early stages of life.

Yeah. At four years old. I also can't even imagine. So you're like, OK, so I had a bipolar mom and I had an alcoholic dad.

Yeah. And then they divorced, which means it doesn't matter what house you were at. It still probably wasn't a safe space for you. Yeah.

It's a very and I didn't piece this together until really a few years ago that in either house, I don't know what I'm going to get. I'm walking on eggshell. And when we go visit my mom, which was really only a year, once or twice a year, sometimes she would be like, oh, Leanne, all over, talking to me about everything. And sometimes it would be like, hello.

And then sit in the corner and ignore me. And then with dad, nice enough man. And when he's drinking, depending on how much, he's either like happy with me or upset with me, yelling at me or not paying attention. And so it's a very I got to just figure out my.

My own way in here, but I can't rely on the people who are supposed to be supporting and helping me come up. I've just got to figure out my own method here. But that also is your normal. Yeah.

No. So this is what you do. Okay. This is, I don't know how to be with, I don't know what I'm going to get mom and dad or mom's house, but okay.

This is my normal. Also. I don't really know what I'm going to get at dad's house, but this is my normal. So that didn't seem it's interesting.

And wow. I'm just now piecing that together. Yeah. It's interesting because in some ways the houses were the same in the sense that I didn't know I was going to get.

So that especially seemed normal to me because I got two different households. Now the household that was different to me, that gave me the little glimmer of hope that I'm credit for really helping me become who I am today is my grandmother's house. My grandmother Keller. So my mom's mother, because she was like the beacon of things are calm.

We're not living in chaos. Always had a nice home, always had a full fridge, always had money for expenses. There's no yelling. There's no, she was like a proper lady, very put together and, and just calm.

And she had expectations of me and my, all the cousins and everyone that we would go to college that we would find our way. And so that little sliver, which I would again, only get once or twice a year, but that little sliver was enough for me to hang on to and see there's something else out there. As a child though, we do that, right? Like we don't, we feel the difference and we like it.

So we hang on to, you're like, okay. I like, I know that I like going there. I feel really good about going there. Yeah.

So you do that. Like my childhood was also, and I was, I was number five of seven. Also had a death in the family. My sister committed suicide when I was only 10.

So that's a lot, which I don't think. I've talked a lot about that on the podcast. Probably should. It's coming out now as we're chatting, but looking back, I created all these other moms in my life.

Like I was like, oh, my friend's mom over here is awesome. I'm going to talk to her and I would like confide in them and I would cling onto those. So I was always going to different friends' houses where I felt like this is different. I like this.

Yeah. And I remember one mom in particular. She would buy. Graham crackers because she knew I liked them.

No one else in her family really ate the Graham crackers, but she knew that I loved Graham crackers. And I remember that just touched me so deeply as a kid that this lady is buying Graham crackers because I like them. Little things that as a child you to grasp onto, which is what your grandma was for you. Totally.

Yeah. She was, she was an amazing woman. I miss her. Yeah.

I'm sure. Okay. So you become an attorney and then you become an international keynote speaker and all of the other things. Yes.

So walk me through that. I am the oddest career path. I'm just going to, I'm just going to say it with this caveat. I was the weirdest career path, but that's, but I can make it all make sense that I, and I think the real core of it is that I've just never been afraid to like follow my heart and my gut.

So I became an attorney. I'm the first attorney in my family. And I did that because there was really, it's because I took this media law class for my journalism degree in my undergrad and it was taught by a local attorney. And I just really took a shining to him and we would walk out of class together and he saw something in me.

Another theme in my life is that my grandmother, and then there's other points, very specific points where somebody sees something in me and articulates it. And it's really simple at times, but it like opens up. Yeah. It opens, it opens up a window for me and has me go, oh, okay, maybe I could do that.

And he did that for me with being a lawyer. And he just said, aren't you going to go to law school? And I was like, I ain't going to law school. And he goes, why not?

I said, I don't have the money and, and I'm not smart enough. And he was like, you're really smart. You can absolutely do it. And then you can pay off the loan.

And he's white, which easy for him to say, but still that's a really big goal to achieve and buy off coming from where you came from. Yeah. Because essentially if you came from a broken home with two parents, you could not rely on, and I'm sure you love that. It's all the good things, but you couldn't rely on them as your caretakers and examples.

And so as, as he believes in you, you're like, okay. And then that's a big goal. Law school is not nothing. It's not nothing.

That's right. It's the, it's a fascinating process. It really changes how you look at things. And even though I don't practice and I haven't practiced for a long time, it definitely is it opened up another world for me.

But when I think about my law school time, also, I really feel like I stepped into my own with it. Like I didn't, when I was coming through high school and through college, a big part, especially up, up to high school through graduating high school, because of the environment that I was in, I was just surviving on, especially financially. I've been financially on my own since I, at least since I was a teenager, arguably earlier than that. And I'm over here like working jobs to like, make sure I have clothes and to make sure I can eat.

Cause we didn't have food. And so I'm figuring those things out. So it's not surprising that I wasn't like into my schoolwork and You had bigger things you're taking care of. Like your actual physical needs.

Yeah. Other kids, like, especially here in America, that's not, those are usually taken care of. Yeah. So I didn't, so I don't remember feeling smart in high school or college.

College became a little bit different. I could see if college is college. Right. Then I was like, oh my God, like I was actually having fun and enjoying a little bit.

Like I was like, oh, I am smart. Okay. Yeah. And as I remember law school being hard and also being kind of a really good period for me.

Yeah. So awesome. And then as we fast forward, now you empower women, you do all the things. So let's talk about the no regrets formula.

Yeah. Is it 60s? What? Let's talk about it.

Okay. Yeah. It's a formula. I like to think of it as a circle.

Yeah. And that's because it's when you work on one, then you work on another, then you work on another. So it's not like a beginning to end kind of thing. An ongoing circle.

Yeah. Like this. Yeah. Okay.

Yes. It's six pillars. So it's commit, connect, create, conduct, credo, and prove. And what that essentially means is the number one thing is commit, is really committing to yourself.

And the reason I created this was because when I look back at my life, because I had people throughout my life have said, you've overcome so much, you accomplished so much. How did you do that? And I look back and I thought, oh, I'm always following my heart. I'm always following my gut.

I'm really committed to myself in a healthy way. Yeah. And I think that's what I learned. Whenever I talk about commit, some people will say it sounds really selfish because I'm like, put yourself first.

And if you don't put yourself first, nobody else will. So I'm not saying commit only to yourself. I'm just saying tune into what you want first. Make sure you're connected to that.

Yeah. Okay. Let's stop there for one second. Yeah.

That is, that is the thing that I was absolutely terrible at actually was I learned. So I learned safety through self betrayal essentially. That's so horrible. Yeah.

Okay. I was like, okay, for me to say, stay safe, I need to say yes. I need a people please all day long. And it doesn't matter how I feel.

I'm just going to go along with this because it's what they want. And if I do what they want, then I'll be okay. That's what as a young girl I learned. But you're saying like, even though you had that background that a lot of people would say that was really tough or that's horrific or all of the things like you still would tune into yourself and your soul.

That's pretty remarkable. And why do you think, like, why do you think you were able to do that? When a lot of people are more like me in those kinds of circumstances where we're just like, okay, stay safe means self betray. Like, yeah.

Right. So I can like not disrupt and make things worse. It's a great question. The simplest way I can say it is I didn't have anyone else to rely on.

So I only had myself. When I look out at was can't rely on my dad, can't rely on my mother, can't rely on my stepmother. He came in when my dad remarried and she was not supportive. My brothers were off doing their thing.

But it was I'm looking around and I'm like, I could rely on grandmother who I see once a year. Okay. That's not a lot. So it was like, I guess I got to roll with what I'm going to do within myself.

Now, I have people here and there, but they were they would pop in thing and pop out. And so I was the only consistent that I had. But you saw that. Yeah.

That is. That is the superpower that you always had. Yeah. But that's amazing.

So anyway. Okay. So connect to yourself. It's not.

I just wanted to stop there because I love it. The opposite. I was like, Oh, yeah. Yeah.

So let me just agree to them. And then I don't want to get in trouble. Let me cower. And let me speak my voice ever.

Because if I do, there could be hell to pay. So yeah. Yeah. I just think that's amazing that you're able to do that.

Okay. First thing next. Thank you. Okay.

Commit to self. Connect. Connect to the vision of what you want to create and connecting to what it looks like. I always say transformation starts with initiation.

And so if you have a vision for yourself of who you want to be, you have that vision you talked about earlier. I can't remember if this was. Oh, I think it was before we started recording. Oh, you always chit chat.

Like every time I, we always like chit chat for a while. We're like, crap, this is good. Let's hit record. But we don't remember.

But you talked about when you were young and that, that the doctors were telling you you'll never be able to run. And you'll never be able to do this, but you had a different vision for yourself, right? You connected to, I'm going to be athletic. I'm going to be healthy.

I'm going to show up in this way. And so that's the second fee is to just connect with that. And what's the vision for yourself? Because that can then help you today with how to make decisions and what path you want to take.

I love it. Yeah. So that's connect. Create is creating the actual.

So there's the, I'm going to be healthy. And then the create is creating the actual. Yeah. Create is creating the actual plan.

Plan to produce payoffs. You're going to do it. You're going to run a marathon. You need a plan.

You can't. And there's always somebody else who just shows up at the start line. Usually a dude. Don't we hate that?

No, it's not. I'm really terrible. I've been training for six months. You need a plan.

You need to figure out like, who is your support going to be? How are you going to do this? What, what are you going to do? How are you going to get there?

And that's part of what I'm actually really good at. Yeah. I'm good at all the pillars, but I'm really good at creating the plan. And so that's create them and conduct and conduct is the action that you're taking.

But the piece under conduct is making a distinction with, or a discernment I'll say with, when you're connected to that vision, like for you, when you've connected to, you're going to be a healthy person. Who's going to run a marathon. Like that person makes different decisions than the person who says like, all right, all right, I'm not really going to try, or I'm going to just believe whatever a doctor tells me. So conduct is like the actions.

It's an action taking, but it's also that, not a fake it till you make it, but it's like stepping into that role of what you're envisioning so that you can make decisions and take action from that perspective. Does that make sense? No, it does make sense. So it's basically you're taking action, but you're also stepping into the role.

Like this is who I am. Like you're owning who you are. And then obviously taking the action from that place. Yeah, exactly.

That's exactly it. Embody what it is that you want. Exactly. This is me, which let me do.

So what we're talking about for those of you who don't know, I don't think I've ever actually said it on the podcast, but when I was eight, this is what we were talking about is when I was 18 years old, I have scoliosis that I've had back issues my whole life. And, but I know how to figure them out. I'm like, okay, I know. What my capability is.

However, when I was 18 and I was in the, I went to a couple of different doctors. They both told me never to run again, like to just never even attempt it. And then never lift like in my legs, never lift over 20 pounds of weight, which guys, your legs are so freaking powerful. Like 20 pounds, isn't that?

Nothing, nothing. And so that's what we're talking about. We did before we hit record is just that, yeah, we get to decide what it is. And we actually know better.

And other people, if we're tuning in and if we're listening to ourselves, do know better what we're capable of. But so often we sell ourselves short because we take someone else's advice, which they have their journey. They have their thoughts. They have their process.

They have all of whatever that is that's going on with them. Yeah. We know ourselves better if we will tune in. And that's one thing that you're so awesome at land.

Like you're so awesome at like tuning in and just being like, this is what I'm doing. Okay. Yeah. Thank you.

Yeah. I thought I'd tell you backstories since people are like, I'm just talking right now. The mystery conversation that would get us with it. And what I love about this, the concept and this embodiment idea is it can fit for physical things like what we're talking about.

It can also fit for if you're an entrepreneur and you're running your business. My favorite question to ask myself is what does a quarter million dollar CEO, what decision does she make? What does a million dollars CEO, what decision does she make? How does she look at the situation that's in front of me?

That's different from a six figure or someone making 50,000. You're in a different situation. So when I'm stepping and growing my business, I'm thinking like, what's my next level person? What does she do?

And my early answer to that was that I always love to share is she did not do her own QuickBooks. That was one of the biggest things, first things that I hired out was I was like, I don't, this is not for me. I don't like it. And if I'm running a six or seven figure business, I'm not going to be doing this.

I'm not going to be doing this. I'm not going to be on things like that. I'm going to hire that piece out. So that's how it relates to decisions that you're making in your day to day.

Yeah. Which again, I love that you said that you can apply it to physical shirts. It's an easy example to look at, but it's actually anything. It's whatever you're wanting to achieve.

What does a healthy person eat? What are the person who values sleep? What is, what does she do? What is a person who, FYD, you can apply it all over the place.

Yeah. You get the point. I love it. Okay.

Let's see. All right. So now we're in credo, which is really mindset. And I like to think of this as it's the, I always say your chatter plus your focus, it equals your credo.

So it's like, what's going on in my head? Is my head saying, I can't do this. I don't know. This is really hard.

It's really difficult. I've never done this before. Who are you to think about that? You're not smart.

If that's happening, in addition to what are you focusing on? If you're focusing on, if you're focusing on, if you're focusing on I have, I love physical examples for this. And like when I was swimming for Ironman, not a big swimmer. And what I, when you're swimming, like when you're biking, you can like stretch and you drink some water and you do the scenery.

Usually if you're running scenery, slow down, stretch, use the bathroom. When you're swimming, man, you're just swimming. There's no, and if you stop, then you are making zero progress on your race. And so you don't want to do that.

But you don't really eat in the swim. So what I would realize is I'd be swimming in it. And man, if I was like, how far have I swam? This sucks.

I really don't like swimming. Oh my God, this is going to take forever. I think it's probably going to take me 41 minutes. How far have I gone?

If that's the, what I was focused on and what's going on in my head, it's like the longest swim of my life. But if I could say, I always like to come up with mantras, especially in races. And so I, if I would say I'm a strong, calm, confident swimmer, strong, calm, confident swimmer. It's a beautiful day.

So nice, sunny. And just change my focus, change what I'm telling myself. Then the swim goes by. No problem.

Like a large fast hitter. Yeah. And this again, applies to everything, right? Am I looking at my business and saying, nobody cares.

Nobody's interested. Nobody wants to buy what I'm saying. Last time I did the webinar, nobody bought. Last time I spoke, nobody came up and told me this.

Or are you like, oh my God, I get to do this talk today. I get to connect with people. I get to, I call it turning lights on when I'm speaking. I get to turn more lights on today.

I get to show people a new way. I get to give them a good story. Like how cool is that? And that energy is totally different than the other.

Yeah. Such a good, I like your examples and I like resonate with them so much. And it, like when I'm running, I do it in my business too. I think we all do it.

It's what do you choose to listen to? Cause your thoughts are going to happen anyway. Literally. They always are going to happen.

So what are you choosing to listen to and what are you choosing to change yeah but like when I'm on a long run sometimes it's fine if I have a great conversation with a friend it's no big deal here we go blah blah blah done yeah I can be on an eight mile run which is way shorter than like a 20 mile run and yet that one seems like it's 500 years and it's because of what I'm talking about or thinking about it's okay guess what I did 20 miles last week and somehow this eight miler is like kicking my trash yeah and it is it's all it's everything in the head like that it's it's yeah how you view it yeah yeah so can you be aware awareness I think is the first key for that because a lot of times we have those things running a lot of those programs get installed when we're young so a lot of times they're running and we don't even notice that they're running so awareness is huge and then and then being able to say okay I'm gonna replace it with uh the my favorite analogy for this is I have it here it's the viewfinder remember these yes yes and so whatever whatever is based on what's on the disc and so one of the things I always say is what's on the disc is your disc that it's hot and this run sucks and I don't know my foot hurts and I think these shorts are chafing me and you're focusing on yeah I a coaching client that or someone that I was coaching this week her focus she's doing all the right things and they all like but the energy behind it it's like she's holding herself back and she's like I'm not holding back by what she's telling herself and I'm like girl like you literally are doing the right things if you step into the belief that everything is happening for you like you it's happening for you and you are doing all of the things it will happen for you but if you're stuck on this stuff and when it comes to business a different than physical activity it's like it is the same but what you focus on is what comes to pass and yeah yeah you focus on the fact that you're never getting clients you probably aren't going to get clients that energy is a thing a hundred percent a hundred percent versus if you're like hey i know that i know i'm always taking one of the things that i especially when i hit those rough patches because we all hit them as entrepreneurs we hit even not as entrepreneurs but it's just life but when i'm in one of those spots and i will think okay you've never not been taken care of you've never not had it work out you never not had whatever even in the what i'm doing those margins really tight it always works so if it always worked out and i know that the way that it always worked out is when i show up when i get into service when i help other people when i think about when i don't think about how can i make a sale but when i think about who's a woman who's like so ready to learn this and to try something different and to step into a different version of herself who is she how do i help her when i tune into that then it's people are finding me versus i got it i need x amount of sales and x amount of dollars and x amount that's not exciting not even not exciting to me it's just it also feels the energy feels so yucky yeah and it's technically like our biggest needs are that connection right so if we're showing up from value regardless if we're talking about entrepreneurship or just life if we're showing up from value and we're showing up ready to connect with other people then everything is going to flow so much everything and it's so funny because i have you People will comment to me a lot, like, I used to get this when I was younger, too, like, oh, Leanne, you have such a way. People will always tell you stories, or I would always get, like, the extra thing, or the get in for free, or get the, you're so lucky, and it's not really, unless I like to think of luck as the meeting of opportunity and preparation, and I'm just, I'm with people, and a lot of times, I'm showing up genuinely interested, genuinely talking. I have conversations with the, even the person checking me out at the store, the person sitting next to me on the train, or whatever, like, I'm in the world, and I'm, especially since we started having more of these, I'm very conscious of not being on it, not, but being here, and what do you know? I'm the one that gets the free thing, or in, or gets whatever, but it's just because I'm showing up, and I'm showing up, not like, you need to give me something, I'm showing up, who are you?

What are you about today? Any value? Yeah. Oh, I think it was Jim Rohn that said, in order to get what you want, I think it's Jim Rohn, but in order to get what you want, you have to give enough people what they want.

Yeah. Whatever that looks like, it's like, you need to serve enough, whatever capacity that is, in order for you to get what you want. That could be money, but that also could just be fulfillment in relationships. That could be, it could be really anything, but it's, I always lean into that, in order for me to get what I want.

I got to give a lot of people what they want. Yeah. And when I do, basically, when I serve them, it will come back to me. Yeah.

A hundred percent. And even the, I love Jim Rohn, by the way. I love that you just put, he's like my favorite. I was, when I did my trip to go to Africa to climb the Kilimanjaro, one of the things I wanted was global entry, for when you're coming back in.

Yeah. So I have TSA pre-checked, and I don't know if anybody's trying to get global entry, but it is a giant pain in the butt to get. Like, get this appointment, there's no appointments available, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah.

So I was going to Philly or something else, and that was one of the few offices that had, they didn't even have availability. I can't even remember the whole thing, but I was like, you know what? I'm just going to walk in. I'm just going to, and you're not supposed to do that.

And there's all these, don't do it, don't do it. But I was like, I don't know, I'm going to go try. And so I go to the airport and I walk in. They were like, we don't take walk-ins.

I'm like, I know, but somebody's not going to show up for their appointment. And the guy was like, I don't know, just sit over there. And I sat there for an hour. Thankfully, I didn't have to be anywhere for a little bit.

Just had my book. And every time I'd see him, I'd make eye contact. And finally, after about an hour and a half, he was like, come here. And he's like, we're not supposed to do this.

But, and he did it. And I got it in a few seconds. He wasn't trying for months to get that. And it was like, all I did was be human, be nice.

I didn't go demand. I didn't get all, you know what I mean? I didn't get cranky. I just went and tried.

And I was patient and I read my book. And then I was nice. And what do you know? I'm like, you got the thing.

Yeah. Okay. There's one more, right? Sorry.

Yeah. I know we get distracted, but we do. We're distracted. It's fine.

The final one is crew. And crew is infinitely important because it's really who is around you. I like to say who got you here might not get you there. And that just means as we grow and as we evolve and as we do different things, it's got to be super intentional of who's in our circle and what role they're playing.

And I like to think of it as people are either enhancers or detractors. And so enhancers, if you think about like a candle, like they're the ones who are like protecting the flame. They're making sure you have what you need. And when you say, I've got a crazy idea, they go, all right, let's talk about that.

Versus detractors who are the ones who are, they might be blowing out your flame or they might be at least not protecting it. And when you say, I've got a crazy idea, they go, you need to be realistic. That doesn't work. Last time you tried something, it didn't work out so well.

So, and they're not bad people. They just, and they often come from love because they have our best interests at heart. They don't want to see us get hurt. They don't want to see us lose money, lose energy, lose time.

And it's like, you just want to be conscious of what role they're playing in your life. Because if you're having a bad day or you're trying something new or different, you want to connect with an enhancer who's going to help you figure out how to do the thing versus a detractor who's going to be like, you shouldn't even be trying. With a crew, basically, who you let in that's going to help you continually move forward. Yeah.

And the flip side too, who are you crew to in your life? Who, when people are coming to you, are you saying, and I'm not saying you have to surround yourself with yes men or people who are like, you're the best. Oh my God. You want people who are going to challenge you, but challenge you in a good way.

So it's like when people come to you and they say, I got a crazy idea. Do you say, yeah. I don't know. You really, it's now the time.

Or do you say like, ah, let's talk about it. Why do you even want to do that anyway? Tell me what you're thinking and work it through. Yeah.

I love it. I'm looking back at me. Anytime anyone comes to me about anything, I'm like, oh yeah, let's go. Let's go.

Yeah. All right. So commit, connect, create, conduct, credo, crew. You got the whole thing.

The whole thing. We got to be like moving. It's not one to the next. It's just like encompassing all of it, making sure that you're, it's basically a will and that it's working.

Exactly. Because as you become a different person and as you do different things, then your vision changes. And that means the people might change and your things, you might focus on different things. And so it's an evolution, but the formula came from me realizing that I've been able to achieve a lot of things in my life and looking at how I did that.

And then also over my lifetime in all the various positions I've had and the different businesses that I've owned, I realized that I'm really using this formula to help thousands of people achieve their goals. Sometimes it's a business goal. Sometimes it's a personal goal, but it's really looking at all of these things. So that's, that's the basis for why I created it.

Yeah. I love it. Hey, so we've talked a lot of things. Awesome.

What would you leave? Like what's a nugget of wisdom that you'd want to leave with the audience? I like to say I'm ripping off Nike. They have the, just do it.

I'm really like a, just try it. Don't make assumptions about who you are and what you're about. Even down to the point of sometimes I'll try foods that I don't like, because I'm like, maybe this version of me like cranberries or I don't know, question everything and just try different things on. Cause you can always say, oh, I tried it.

I don't like it. But if you don't try it, you never even give yourself the opportunity of having an experience. Yeah. Those experiences shape us.

They make us who we are. They help us grow. And we become like a deuce, even more potent version of ourselves when we're open to trying. Yeah, a hundred percent.

Okay. And then also how do people get a hold of you? The easiest way is just to go to my website, which is my whole name. A lot of ease in there.

I know you can also go to no regrets, formula. com and that'll that also will give you that page will give you access to a video. Yeah. A free video series that walks you through each one of those pillars and a whole process.
