00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:07.759
to the subject matters covered. This information is given with
3
00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:12.160

You should seek the services of.
7
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:29.640
Competent professionals before applying or trying any suggested ideas.
8
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.200
At the end of the day, it's not about what
9
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.560
you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about what
10
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.119
you've done with those accomplishments. It's about who you've lifted up,
11
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.759
who you've made better. It's about what you've given back.
12
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:48.840

15
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.079
David, Welcome to the show.
16
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:58.320
Doctor done. Thanks so much for having me.
17
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:02.240
Hey, I really acite. You know, you've got such an
18
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.359
interesting background, and I know there's going to be some
19
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:08.439
fascinating topics, but you know, I know that, for instance,
20
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:14.640
you you were a main trainer for Tony Robbins, weren't you. Yeah, Well,
21
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.359
and so give the audience kind of a little bit
22
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.280
of background about yourself and how you went from this
23
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.000
to that to where you've developed this company now that
24
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.959
works not only with businesses, but with also individuals, share
25
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:28.640
with the audience.
26
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:33.200
That sure going back to my roots, and it's important
27
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:34.799
to understand that because I grew up in the place
28
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.560
called the Florida Keys, and those are little dots on
29
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.040
the end of Florida. If you haven't been there, please
30
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.719
do yourself a favor and get to that little islands
31
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.680
that are down there. Is just magnificent place and it
32
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.280
really is a big recreational area for trusts. So all
33
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:52.000
the people that were coming down and we were in
34
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.719
the service business. I was on the dive boat and
35
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.439
dove most of my life, spear fishing, fishing things like that.
36
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.519
But the amount of people that I met it was
37
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.840
amazing because they were all coming from different walks of life.
38
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:06.760
They all made their money if they will, if you will,
39
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.520
and they were coming down to vacation and I got
40
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.120
a chance to, really I didn't know it, but interview
41
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.599
people at a very high level of success. And that's
42
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:17.719
what started me on my journey. Is like, this is
43
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.439
fascinating because a lot of my friends weren't being successful.
44
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.360
They were working their butts off. They were really good people.
45
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.280
I mean they give you their shirt on the back,
46
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:29.759
but they weren't being successful. And I was like, I've
47
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:31.719
been told my whole life that if you're just good,
48
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:35.240
you work hard, you're going to be successful. That's not
49
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.439
been my experience this lifetime. As a matter of fact,
50
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.800
my parents were some of the most loving people I've
51
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.479
met on this planet, and they did not reach the
52
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.159
kind of level of success that I always wanted for
53
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.280
my life. So I knew there was a difference. So
54
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.680
I got involved at you know, financed at the university level,
55
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:55.599
got involved in politics, banking, then in real estate. It
56
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.599
was the business manager for the number one selling real
57
00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:59.639
estate an agent in the world. I went to work
58
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.599
for Tony Robbins and I started my company twenty seven
59
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:06.439
years ago with this idea that if you're really going
60
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.280
to really understand how to become successful in this lifetime,
61
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.639
was there a pattern, was there a blueprint?
62
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.919
Was there a way that we could do that? And
63
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:17.599
that's when my study has been for the last twenty
64
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:18.199
seven years.
65
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.319
Well, and you know, you talk about success, and what
66
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:25.000
comes to my mind is, particularly living here in Thailand,
67
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.919
you know, I think the average monthly income is, if
68
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.879
they're lucky, about five hundred dollars a month. And yet
69
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:37.400
I see people who are so happy, and you know,
70
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.879
and so when we talk about success, I think so
71
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.879
often and rightfully. So you know, to a large degree,
72
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.759
success is related to income and all of that type
73
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:54.000
of thing. But how would you define success? Because I
74
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.719
know you not only work with businesses very successfully, but
75
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.039
also with individuals.
76
00:03:58.800 --> 00:03:59.280
Absolutely.
77
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.360
As matter of fact, was that took probably a long
78
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.479
time to really Samurai. Success is the name of our company,
79
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:06.319
so we had success right in our names. So people
80
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.520
were always asking me what is your definition success? And
81
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.879
years ago it was material things and money and you know,
82
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.279
all the wealth and cars and houses and what mattered
83
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.439
was matter. And I will tell you that when I
84
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:23.040
was in Miami Beach selling real estate, I was driving
85
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.000
a five sixty s me Mercedes. I was living in
86
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.199
a three and a half million dollar house. I was
87
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.160
living on the top of the world. We're traveling around
88
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.160
the worlds in seminars. People were ranting and raving, they
89
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.959
wanted our autographs, and I was so miserable. Doc, I
90
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:40.800
was miserable, and I was like, this can't be what
91
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.600
this is all about. And I'm very thankful today. I
92
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.519
wasn't thankful at the time, but I'm very thankful today.
93
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.879
The universe just threw this amazing example of me going,
94
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.680
you're on the wrong path, man, there's something else here,
95
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.519
and so really looking at that. So when you really
96
00:04:57.560 --> 00:04:59.680
start taking a look at success, it doesn't matter how
97
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:01.120
you want to define it.
98
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.800
It has to have one element. That element is it
99
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:06.360
has to be duplicatable.
100
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.040
If you do success one time, you can't call it success,
101
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.879
you call it luck. In order for something to be successful,
102
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.399
you've got to be able to duplicate it.
103
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:18.040
Over and over again.
104
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.720
And that's where understanding how this place really works and
105
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:25.199
the structure of success is what's the most important thing,
106
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:26.480
not the thing you get from it.
107
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.360
So when people are not that wealthy, they don't have
108
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:35.759
that many things, and yet you could deem them success.
109
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.439
What would be the elements for those people where they
110
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.360
could honestly say to themselves and others, yes, I have
111
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:43.560
a successful life.
112
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.160
So there's a great book called Flow, and that is
113
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.959
exactly the best answer I've ever seen when it comes
114
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:55.040
to truly successful people, and that is they're so in
115
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:59.600
love with what they're doing, that they're in flow of things,
116
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.439
just masterful about it. And I'm in awe when I
117
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.079
watch people do this, and it doesn't matter what they're doing,
118
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.519
you could just there's a frequency that comes from it.
119
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.959
There's an energy that comes from the doc that just
120
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.639
is fascinating to me. And this, you know, we call
121
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.759
this mastery, but it really is about flow. And that
122
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:18.839
flow is where you just really get into a place
123
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:21.199
and you don't care who's looking at you, you don't
124
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.399
care what other people think, you don't even care what
125
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.879
you think about it. You're just so excited about what
126
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:29.000
you're doing that that really shows up in everything. You
127
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:34.439
actually imbue greatness into that by how you're feeling. The
128
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.120
same thing happens when you're angry and when you're not happy,
129
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.959
you imbue everything you're doing with that same emotional frequency.
130
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.800
So true success, from my perspective, my opinion, is when
131
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.439
someone really can duplicate things over and over again and
132
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:51.040
be in flow.
133
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:55.399
Well, you know, you mentioned ego, and well you didn't
134
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.839
mention ego, but you mentioned things. And you know, there's
135
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.639
a great book out there that talks about ego and
136
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.040
how that can be a very damaging and have a
137
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:10.000
very damaging effect on us if we allow the ego
138
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.160
to control us in a particular way. What are your
139
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:18.800
thoughts about ego and how does that compare to what
140
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.240
you would refer to as the source of soul.
141
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:26.040
So ego is such an important part, and you know,
142
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.319
the ego gets a bad rep and it's deserves it
143
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:29.800
because a lot of the things you can see that
144
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:31.839
are happening on the planet that we would say aren't
145
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.920
really representation of who we are are designed by the ego.
146
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.079
There's no doubt about it. The love of money, hurting
147
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:40.079
other people, all the things we could go through.
148
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:42.360
But you said it so beautifully.
149
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.680
When the ego uses you, it's a very different experience
150
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.079
than when you.
151
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:47.879
Use your ego.
152
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.279
And that's what we really coach people through is that
153
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.639
you have another part of you that we've forgotten about,
154
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.319
and that's your soul, your divinity, and that's a source
155
00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:59.959
of how you can actually create things in this lifetime.
156
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.399
So if you use your ego or your ego uses you,
157
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.839
you're going to create a certain experience. If you use
158
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.000
your soul or your soul uses you, you're going to
159
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:12.240
have a very different experience. What we really teach here
160
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.720
at Sammary Success is how to integrate both your soul
161
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:19.600
and your ego into a meaningful life, purpose driven life.
162
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:21.759
And not a lot of people talk about that because
163
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:23.879
we want to push one away and not do the other.
164
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.439
If you just play at the soule level in this
165
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:29.519
physical plane and you meditate and do great breath work
166
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.639
and eat really well, if you sit around all day
167
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.320
long doing those kind of things, people show up and.
168
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:40.840
Start taking your furniture. And that's not easy to do, right.
169
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.120
You know, as a matter of fact, you know, I normally,
170
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:48.279
I normally will you know, meditate every day. And I
171
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.559
was just thinking about that the other day. For the
172
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:53.080
last couple of weeks, I've been so busy that I
173
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:56.519
have not meditated. And you know, I can use that
174
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:59.919
as an excuse because quite frankly, you can always find time.
175
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.799
But you know, you talk about ego, you talk about
176
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:06.320
the soul, and you know there's a lot of people
177
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.360
that might look at that going yeah, yeah, yeah, kind
178
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.159
of really, but when you talk about the soul and
179
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.120
then you talk about you know, there's the soul, there's
180
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.559
the ego. But in between covering that soul, there are
181
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:24.360
so many issues that have occurred because of childhood trauma
182
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.879
or whatever it happens to be, or our perception of
183
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.679
what's going on or what's been said to us as children,
184
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.840
that that starts to kind of cover. I kind of
185
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.000
use the example of the mirror you're you know, you're
186
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.720
in the bathroom and you've just showered and you're wanting
187
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:43.120
to shave or whatever, and the mirror is just totally
188
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.240
you can't see anything, so you have to start wiping
189
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:49.000
and wiping and wiping until you get a clear view.
190
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.840
And I look at that as though, you know, here's
191
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:54.759
all of these emotional imprints that have been put on us,
192
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:58.320
uh and a lot of them have nothing to do
193
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.320
with our choice, and yet what we see as reality
194
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:06.720
in our lives is like a mirror that's totally fogged up.
195
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.120
And how do you help people? And it's fascinating to
196
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.360
me that as you're working with individuals and you're also
197
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:17.120
working with businesses, and obviously we're talking about individuals, but
198
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.720
what I want you to kind of bring that into
199
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:21.799
the business too, because what I found when I was
200
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:26.399
working with small businesses as a consultant was that so
201
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.840
often if you could teach a principle in business, it
202
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.080
also created the same principle in life.
203
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:38.000
Absolutely great.
204
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.240
Matter of fact, we have this illusion that we all
205
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.799
live under called this thing of separation, the illusion of
206
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.320
separation where you know business and then we got our
207
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.879
personal lives and we got this and we imagine ourselves
208
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.159
being able to compartmentalize so much stuff.
209
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:54.039
Truth is, what you do.
210
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.919
In one area of your life, you usually do in
211
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:57.000
the other part of your life.
212
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.399
You're just not conscious of it.
213
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.559
So bringing that awareness to business owners first. Second part
214
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:05.039
is once people understand that I don't care how much
215
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.440
money you make. Can we work with very high end,
216
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.759
top line ape ti personalities that run massive businesses and
217
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.879
they are go getters, But the very first thing they
218
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:17.039
have to remember is that they're human, just like us,
219
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:21.399
and that starts putting things into perspective and being human
220
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.519
allows you to have access to your ego and your soul.
221
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.919
And so many of the problems that we're dealing with
222
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.600
in this physical plane have been manifested because we keep
223
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.120
using our ego as a source to solution. When people
224
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:37.559
see that actually using your soul for source of solution,
225
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:41.480
and how dramatic things change for the long term not
226
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:44.440
the short term. Ego is very good at the short term,
227
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:47.919
but long term, the soul is incredible and it's a
228
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:51.159
great source. And so when you can tap into that
229
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.799
inside of you as a human being, you get access
230
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:57.960
to what quantum mechanics called the world of pure potentiality.
231
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:02.679
And you can actually take that information from this library
232
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.480
of information and you can pull that information into this
233
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.320
physical realm heaven on Earth if you will, and you
234
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:10.960
can pull solutions. And I would say you business owners
235
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.480
want solutions, world class solutions, Well.
236
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:16.919
How about soul.
237
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.559
Class solutions, because that's where you can get those from
238
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.360
and when you can learn to get your ego out
239
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:22.600
of the way.
