You’re listening to the Transform Your Life from the Inside Out podcast. This episode is titled “Escaping Practical Attachment.” You know, that word attachment, when we hear it, we often think of some woo-woo spiritual concept. But what I want to do in this episode is—and it is very spiritual, but in this episode, I want to look at it from an everyday practical perspective. And I want to talk about the things that we attach to in our everyday life that we don’t even know it. And the reality is, when we attach to things, it literally robs us of our joy and of our peace of mind. And then many times we wonder why we’re so unhappy. And when we really look at it, which we’re going to do in this episode, we’re unhappy because of our attachments. Keep listening.
Okay, so we’re talking about attachment. And, you know, I’ve gone a more spiritual direction the last couple of months. And I’m not sure how you guys are perceiving it, but I’m going to keep doing it. Because what I’ve recognized also looking at our metrics, the throwback episodes on Thursday, sometimes people listen to those more than these. But I’m just going to share with you now, I’m going to keep doing deeply spiritual episodes. It’s what calls to me and it’s where my heart is. The Buddha said, and I mentioned this before, the root of suffering is attachment. Now, again, we listen to that and we’re like, “yeah, yeah, okay. You know, spiritual mumbo jumbo. I get it.” But when you really think about it, we’re attached, as I mentioned in the introduction, when you really think about it, we attach to things all day long and we don’t even recognize that we do. And then when I talk about it from a spiritual perspective, many times people think, “well, you know, that sounds really good.” But I think what people do not do is stop and say, “well, how much does attachment pertain to me?”
This episode was inspired by my day-to-day. And this morning I was thinking about… I don’t have a content calendar. I should, or I could. I don’t know that I should, but I could. And that’s driven my team crazy for years. But each episode I do basically based upon what comes to me the day that I’m going to record the episode. Something that calls out to me, something I hear you guys talking about, something that inspires me and something I want to share with you guys. And today, I have been moving. I mean, I’ve been packing all day long today. And actually, the last three days, I’ve been packing for the past three days. And I’m going to be packing tomorrow. And then I move on Friday. Today is Wednesday, obviously. And as I was packing, I started, you know, I heard someone’s voice in my head.
Now, I don’t know how long you’ve listened to the podcast, but I built a brand new home in Sedona that literally was supposed to take one year. It took three years, actually took 39 months. And candidly, I love the home. It’s a beautiful, beautiful home. And from what I’ve heard from the real estate agents, it’s one of the nicest homes in Sedona, even though I’ve actually… it’s not even my home anymore. I’m sitting, I leased it back from the people who bought it from me. But from what I’ve heard from every agent who saw it and everyone who wanted to potentially buy it, it’s an absolutely beautiful home. And for me, I think many years ago, it would have been harder for me to let this home go because I would have been thinking, “you know, I put so much time into building it. Why would I let it go?” And I even had somebody two days ago say, “are you kidding me? You’re moving after you built that house?” And they said, “how could you let that house go?”
Now, a big part of the house is I sit on two and a half acres. It’s very secluded. The hiking trails quite literally are right out my front door. Many days I’ve just left the house and gone hiking right out the front door on the hiking trails. I’ve got spectacular views of Sedona right out the back of my house. I’m looking at those views right now. But for me, it’s a beautiful home. But you know what? It doesn’t fit for me so much anymore. And the reason why is I just… many different reasons, I’m feeling like I would rather live somewhere else than Sedona. And this has been something that’s been on my mind for the past six months. I put my home on the market four months ago. And I’ll just be candid. One of the main reasons I’m leaving Sedona, Arizona, is the tourist population in this town, if you want to do things and have an air, quote, normal quality of life. It’s very challenging. We are literally suffocated with tourists in this town. There are 8,000 people who live here and there’s anywhere from three to 400,000 visitors per month into this town when the town is only three miles long and a mile and a half wide. So part of me was saying or a big part of me was saying that’s not how I want to live my life. And part of it was just to create some clarity here is if you want to go to dinner here, let’s say, you know, it’s been a long, a long week and you’re like, “you know, hey, let’s go to dinner tonight on a Saturday night.” For the most part, you can’t. And the reason why is you had to make a reservation two or three months ago or at least earlier in the week to be able to get in. Why? Because the tourists beat you to the accommodations, the amenities here in town.
So anyway, I’m leaving Sedona, Arizona. And I spent the past three days packing. And as I was packing, there was a lot of quiet time and a lot of meditation and a lot of pondering and thinking and, you know, postulating and thinking about my life here and different things and experiences and where I’m going next, which, by the way, I’m heading out of state and I’m going somewhere that to me is very peaceful. I’ve got more land, more space to live on. I’ve got beautiful views. I live near water. And for me, it’s a smaller mountain town that for me would offer me what I believe would be a better quality of life.
But as today as I was thinking about this, something that popped into my mind was, and I shared this on the podcast, I don’t know in one episode, when I was having a… actually I wasn’t having a conversation, one of my dreams. Don Javier, the shaman that I work with, popped into my dreams. And he said, “you need to lose the attachment even to your own life.” Think about that. This is a big concept. That’s a big ask, so to speak, and he said, “you need to lose the attachment even to your own life.” Now, that dream was around 2017 or so and candidly, I think I probably accomplished a lot of what he was suggesting when I had the stroke and the heart failure in 2020 and I very briefly left the planet, which is why this day and age I am not at all afraid. I want to stay on the planet for a while, I have work to do, but I’m not afraid to leave. And I’m not attached to this container that I’m actually walking around in right now.
So anyway, many of us, as I said in the introduction, we ponder attachment, we hear it, and we just think it’s woo-woo or it sounds nice or it’s okay. But what we do not do is we really do not internalize. And we don’t think about, we don’t ever stop for one moment and think about, “wow, okay. Okay, how many things do I attach to?” And I’m talking to you right now listening to this episode. You ever sat down and thought how much and to what things do I attach? So as you ponder that right now, I’m going to give you some real life scenarios that may or may not apply to you. But I request that as you’re listening, check the mental boxes and see what fits for you. Now, for about 10% of you, most of these will not fit. And you might have had something, for example, I recall interviewing Neale Donald Walsch for the podcast. And when his house burned down, before he ever wrote Conversations with God, his house burned down. And I asked him what the big lesson was for him. And he said the big lesson was is that he learned not to attach to things.
So as we’re talking about things, let’s talk about things. How about your home, your clothes? Maybe you will only wear designer clothes. Maybe you will only wear designer clothes. And I know people like that. More men than women that will say, “I will only wear Prada. I will only wear Hermes” or whatever it is. Jewelry. And many times we attach to our jewelry and our physical possessions. I did that many years ago with a Rolex that I lost. And Don Javier brought that to my attention that I lost the watch many, you know, like eight months earlier. And I was still lamenting because I lost the watch. And he said, “you’re attached to something that hasn’t been in your life for eight months.” How about this? Cars, family heirlooms, relics of any kind. We think about these things. Now, as I’m mentioning these things, candidly, how many fit the bill for you? Are you attached to your home? Do you love your home? And you say, “there’s no way I would ever, ever, ever, ever, ever leave my home.” Well, that’s attachment. Or your clothes, something gets ruined, and you’re like, “oh my God, I love that, I love that.” And I’ve seen people two or three months later talk about a coat they lost or something they lost or jewelry or cars or heirlooms or relics. You know, these things that I mentioned, things that we do not want to lose no matter what. Well, guess what? That is attachment.
You know, when it comes to homes, even though I’d mentioned that earlier. So many times we are attached to what a home looks like. And I don’t mean the interior and whether it’s clean or all that, which we can be attached to that as well. Candidly and transparently, I am, how do I say this? I’m not a neat freak, but I am very, very, very clean. So I’m attached to living in a clean home. And when I’m not in a place that’s clean, it literally affects my emotional state for whatever reason subconsciously. A clean home is very, very important to me. But many times we get attached to what I’m talking about more macro things, meaning the look of our neighborhood, where you live. So, for example, the street that I live on now, at the end of the street, there’s a subdivision with five homes, and they are all very high-end homes. I sold one of those homes. But driving into this neighborhood and living in Sedona, everything is expensive. You want a dump? It’s going to cost you a million dollars minimum in this town for a dump. Something that’s 25 years old, small, 1,000 square feet, and needs some major renovation. But the street driving in is a bit lower end. And somebody once said to me, “Jim, how do you like driving to your house?” And she said, by the way, it’s completely safe on the street, all that. I mean, it’s no big deal. It’s normal for Sedona because Sedona overall is pretty much safe. But a friend said to me, “how do you like driving to your house? Because there’s a lot of lower, meaning a million dollars. There’s a lot of lower and older homes as you’re driving to your house.” For me, candidly, I never even thought about that. What I focused on is the house and getting to my house where I live, my sanctuary, you know, my space. So I never thought about those things and I never noticed it. But I recall a friend noticing that and I’m like, “wow.” But that friend also is very much into things. The friend is very much into her cars, her Porsche, her diamond slash platinum Rolex, etc. So it would make sense to me that she said those things. And of course, I didn’t say anything to her, but she’s very attached to the things. She’s one of the people that is constantly wearing Prada, Louis Vuitton, and etc, etc. And a beautiful, wonderful person that I love. But this person, and she lives here in town, is very attached to material things.
How about this? Let’s go a little deeper, okay? Your job. I can’t tell you the amount of people that I’ve coached in TCP that will say, “I hate my job.” I’ve heard people say their job is soul-sucking. They hate the job and they want out of the job, but they’re afraid to leave the job. Well, what do we call that? The A word, attachment. Here’s another one, and I see a lot of this. To people. Now, of course, we are social creatures. And the second we, for most of us, we pop out of the womb, we are attached to the mother. Understandable. And Don Javier and I have had a lot of conversations about this, is that we learn. We learn as a species. If you look at animals, you know, babies, you know, baby birds leave the nest. Other animals, even like my dog and our animals and our pets, they’re not spending the rest of their life, of course, they don’t have conscious thinking skills, but they’re not spending the rest of their life lamenting about their mother and where’s my mother today and all these kind of things. Now, of course, we are a different species. But look at the amount of us that attach to our… I love my partner, no question about it. And if I lost my partner, I don’t know how I can answer this. I mean, I understand that nothing is permanent ever. I understand that when we leave, that is a soul decision, meaning it’s time to go. Our soul has decided it’s time to leave the planet. It’s not an analytical decision. And I would love to sit here and say that it wouldn’t bother me if my partner left because I’m not attached. But I don’t think that’s the truth. I very, very, very, very much love my partner. We’ve been together 24 years. But again, I also understand that I don’t own my partner and we share a home and a life together and many years together. But I can’t say, I think I’d like to say that if I lost my partner, and candidly, I don’t want to test this out anytime soon, but I would go through a very short period of grieving, recognizing that what happened is exactly what needs to happen. Karma. Soul mission.
And I see so many people in TCP, especially parents with teenage kids, high school teenage, and the parents are still trying to control the kids. And then they’re wondering why their kids are so resentful. Well, here we go again. Attachment. How about jobs? Shit. I got lost in there. I’m going to go back to where we started after we talked about homes, the editor. We need to go back here, okay?
Okay, so I want to talk about two big areas here that are more emotional. One would be, and I hear this all the time, “Jim, I hate my job.” And the reality is you could leave tomorrow. But people are not attached to the job. They are attached to what they believe the job represents to them. Maybe it is socialization. Maybe it’s, for most people, it’s finances. And they believe in this world of eight and whatever, eight and a half billion people, “Oh my God, I’ve got to hang on to this job and I’ve got to attach to it,” even though they don’t think that way. “I’ve got to attach to it because this job is my security, which I am attached to. I’m attached to security” is what people actually, they live from that, even though they don’t think that. And people will stay in soul-sucking jobs. Recall what the Buddha said, the greatest cause of suffering is attachment. And people will suffer. I’ve seen it for decades in a freaking job. Because they’re attached to what they think. And at the end of this episode, I’m going to share something with you in a way to think that will blow your mind about attachment. But people attach to things because what they think about things.
Here’s another one. People. Now, of course, this is emotional as well. But we attach to people. And I understand that when, you know, an infant pops out of the womb, we attach to the mother right away. But if you look at other species on the planet, and of course, they are not conscious thinkers as humans are. You know, I look at my dog. He was in here, you know, he is attached to me to a large degree. But you know what? He’s not literally every day kind of lamenting and thinking, “where’s my mother? Where are my siblings? I miss my mother. I miss my mother.” No, he’s literally living the life that he’s living in the present moment right now. He is an Alsatian Shepherd mix, which I understand people call them Velcro dogs. That dog is very, very, very attached to me. Almost to where it’s a pain in the butt, because wherever I go in the house, he is like many of your dogs. But if you look at where they were born, I mean, many of our dogs are strays. They’re not attached to the foundation of their life. So we have to look at this and think about, okay, what am I attached to in my relationships? My partner, I love my partner to the depths of my being. We’ve been together 24 years now. And actually we’re doing better than what we’ve ever done before. We had some challenges last year and we were even separated for a year, but I knew we’d get back together. And we did. And we found a really good therapist who I will probably have on the podcast as a guest because this therapist is a mind-blowing, subconscious therapist. He works with people, with things that are going on subconsciously with them, like I do in TCP, for transformation. And we got extraordinary results with this therapist. And I will probably have him on the podcast to share things with you guys.
And I don’t know what would happen if my partner, for some reason departed the planet before I did. Now, what I’d like to say is analytically, I recognize that, hey, it’s a soul choice. We leave the planet when our soul is ready to leave the planet. And if my partner left before me, then I’d recognize, I’m not kidding, I mean, I’d be emotionally probably hurt and devastated for just a bit, but I’m not one of those people that would stay in mourning for some great length of time. I would mourn for a bit, but more than anything, I’d recognize what happened is exactly what needed to happen. I do not own my partner and my partner is on their soul mission. They’re on their journey. And that would make me happy knowing that, at least my belief and my thought in that.
But something I see a lot of is adults that will have kids at maybe high school or college age or into their 20s. I can’t tell you the amount of adults that I see attaching to their kids. And they don’t call it attachment. But what they try to do is try to control their kids. Now, if you have minor kids, obviously their health and wellness is your responsibility. But people will literally try to attach to the kid. And I’ve seen all kinds of healthy attachments that parents can have to their kids. And that’s not what this episode is about. But I think back to somebody that was in TCP, a wonderful mother by all appearances, but she was very attached to her kids. She even said that. So as a result of being attached to her kids, she would try to control her kids. The more she tried to control her kids who were 23 and 24, the more they would rebel because they didn’t want to be controlled. And the more they rebelled, the more she would try to control them and attach to them. And it became a very unhealthy relationship. And when she recognized that she was attached, she stopped controlling them and the relationship healed and it became a lot better. So think about right now, what people or ideas about people are you attached to? What about your job? Are you attached to your job? If you lost your job tomorrow, how would you feel about that? Now, for me, I’ve been self-employed for many years. But I can say this with confidence, where I work from, as corny as it sounds, when one door closes, another door opens. And I know that if for any reason I had a job and I lost a job, that would tell me, “okay, it’s time to leave this job. There’s something bigger and better and offering you more opportunity that’s waiting for you. Are you going to walk through that door?”
You know, something popped into my mind here as I think about possessions. I remember, it’s probably 25 years ago, there was this husband and wife that I was professional slash casual friends with. And he wore an 18-karat gold presidential Rolex. Back then, they probably cost 12, 13, 15 grand. I don’t know. They’re probably like 50 grand now. And we were at dinner one night, and I didn’t say anything about it. And somehow it came into the conversation. She said, “oh, that watch is his pride and joy.” Quote, “that watch is his pride and joy. And if he lost that, I don’t know what he would do.” That’s attachment. And can you relate to that? Now, there’s no judgment here. It’s just an observation. Can you relate to that?
Now, I also want to point out, we have to live in balance. So it doesn’t mean that we, okay, give everything away, garage sale, come get my stuff. No, it’s not that. So the lack of attachment does not mean being careless. It doesn’t mean being homeless. It simply means recognizing the attachment and how much energy that consumes. That’s what I request you look at. Look at your attachments that we talked about and then literally look at how much energy does it consume protecting those attachments. We protect things. And again, we have to be practical. I mean, if you’ve got a fire coming to your house, you want to make sure that you’ve got proper fire mitigation and different things. Again, we’re practical here, okay? But let’s say that something happened to your possessions, your money, you got robbed, something. How would that leave you emotionally? How would that leave you in terms of, “oh my God, what am I going to do next?” So all I’m simply requesting you do in this episode, the things we’ve talked about, start recognizing what your attachment really takes from you, the unhappiness it creates, and the amount of energy that it consumes from you.
And then on the flip side of everything I’ve talked about, you know me, meaning through the podcast, put it this way: my home sold, I literally, I lost about a half a million dollars in the sale. My home sold for 4 million. And the reason I lost money is I could wait homes at anything. There’s not a lot of buyers in Sedona. So anything over four million sits on the market anywhere from six to 12 months. And I wanted out of the house and I knew that I wanted to move. So a buyer came along, offered four million. I’m like, boom, like that, done deal.
But the reason I mentioned that is my brother, I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it on the podcast. An extraordinarily, extraordinarily gifted artist. But my brother, by choice, had no possessions. He was homeless. And he loved, believe it or not, he had a bed at my mom’s house. He had a room at my mom’s house. And he was always welcome home. He would come home every three or four months, spend about a week with my mom, wash his clothes, live a bit of a normal humdrum life, normal, whatever that means, live a bit of a normal humdrum life, good food, and then he would leave again. And my mom always knew that he never came to stay. He came to visit for a week and then he would leave. But he lived a super carefree life on the streets. And you might think, and I don’t know anything about street living. He taught me a lot in the event I ever lived on the streets. But he would say, “I have a whole community. I’ve got a whole family on the streets. That’s where my family is.” And it was pretty interesting. He said, “every day we take turns panhandling. And one person will go… God, when I think about this, it was many years ago. But he goes, “one person will go panhandle and make enough money to buy food to bring back to everyone in the tribe, in the group. There might be eight or 10 of us. And then we eat and everything every day because we take turns. And every day, somebody goes to panhandle to make money for everyone else. We go through our days. We’re carefree. We have no jobs. We have no bills. We have no nothing to worry about except the elements at night.” This was in Texas. It was warm. And he loved the life. My mom begged him to get off the streets. And he wouldn’t do it because he loved it so much.
Now, I do suspect part of his homelessness was also karmic because my mom had even talked to me about when he was a little boy, how he hated confinement. He could not be confined. And she goes, “the second he popped out of the womb and started growing, he was that way. You could not cage him. You could not confine him. And if you try to tie him down, he’s going to be miserable.” So honestly, I don’t know the answer. You got to just find out what fits for you in this episode. For me, it’s the balance. It could be something different for you. For me, it’s having the things that make life at least enjoyable through, you know, a place to live and warmth or whatever you need and shelter. I mean, for me, these are all things that I choose to have in my life. Other people can live in a yurt. I know people in Sedona that live in tents, which is illegal, but they live in tents in the national forest and they love that life. So you’ve got to find what works for you.
But in our culture, we’re seeing a heavy dose of it. And I mean a toxic dose in our culture right now in the USA and a lot of the world. And it starts all the way at the top of leadership in the US. Extreme, extreme. Extreme to the nth degree attachment to possession and what that means and how it defines that particular person. Now, I’m not Edgar Cayce, but if you listen to Edgar Cayce and anything Edgar Cayce prophesied about 2026, you may better understand or start thinking about how toxic that kind of life can be and how it is out of balance with the universe.
So all the attachments that I mentioned, how about your attachments to people? But here’s something else. I already talked about people. What about your attachments to your fears? And what does that keep you from? And how much unhappiness does that create? How about your attachment to success or what success means or says about you? How about your attachment to achieving? People often think, “when I achieve, other people are going to think XYZ about me.” And many times it’s their mother or father or family. “When I become successful, other people are going to think things about me.” Attachment.
How about MAGA? MAGA, whatever you want to call it, make America great again. Look at the amount of people that are attached to that ideology. How about the amount of people that are attached to anti-MAGA? Well, they’re attached to something. And that brings something to my mind. I remember Don Javier saying many years ago to me that, which is an attachment to some degree or a large degree, the more you believe, the more you have to defend. So you think about your attachments. The more you’re attached to, the more you have to defend.
And something I’ve learned in the past 10 years, and I don’t want to talk too much about in this episode, but there were times in my life that I was very… I didn’t have any money. And I was so attached to what I thought that said about me in a negative way. Basically, I thought it meant negative things about me. And when I say no money, I mean, I wasn’t homeless. I was living in a cheap apartment, that old beat up car, waiting tables, et cetera, after college. But I think back 30 years ago, and I think about the lack of harmony and the lack of peace that brought me. And then candidly, I’ve been all the way to the top at the other end of the spectrum financially, like up in the top 1%. And I notice a lot of people that work from that place of the top 1%, they live in a lot of fear because they’re attached to their money and what their money and their mind says about them. Or they’re attached to the life that they have. Or they’re attached to the meaning they’re placing on what they think their money means. And candidly, it doesn’t mean jack shit because when you leave the planet, you leave with none of that.
So what I look at in my life, and perhaps you want to do this as well, is start exploring the attachments in your life. Look at your life and ask yourself, where am I attached? Next, ask yourself, how much does this attachment to this home, to this person, to this job, to this idea, how much peace of mind is that costing me? Now, I can’t tell you what to do, but where I work from is the number one currency in my life: peace, peace, peace of mind. That’s the number one thing that I nurture in my life is living in that place of peace, mentally, physically, and emotionally. And as long as I maintain that state of peace in my mind, candidly, no matter how much money I have or don’t have, or how many homes, and I’ve had many homes before at the same time, or impact on the podcast. I’ve impacted millions, and I’m going to be candid. I’ve thought about walking away recently. I thought about walking away and stopping all of this. Now, I’m going to tell you right now, for right now, at least the next year or two, I’m not going to do that. But many people would say, “excuse me, what the fuck is wrong with you? You’ve got a top one-tenth of 1% podcast. You’ve got millions of downloads. Why would you walk away from that?” Again, if something takes peace out of my life, then it’s gone.
So here’s something that I think is important for you to understand is that one of the greatest misconceptions that we carry throughout our lives is that our perceptions of ourselves and the world are basically accurate and true. What I’m saying there is one of the greatest misperceptions that we carry is that we think how we see the world is true. And then we attach to that. We see the world as… I’m only using this because we all understand it. We attach to make America great again or the opposite of that. And we attach to those things because we think that it is true. And then when something, you know, counters that, we get all bent out of shape and we lose our peace. We attach to our ideas of life and what we think that reflection is. We think that reflection is some kind of stable, ultimate reality. We think these attachments are stable, ultimate reality, and they are not. They are simply what we have chosen to attach to.
So this is what I request, your transformational takeaway. The last thing that I said, please remember that, make a note of that, is that we attach to ideas of what we think the world is and what it’s not. And we make that our ultimate reality as if that reality is true. And then we fight all other realities as if they are not true, when in fact, all realities are true. But yet we’re so attached to one version, one idea of reality, that anything that doesn’t fit that version, now we’ve lost our peace. So ponder that, if you would.
Okay, your transformational takeaway is you’re born with nothing. I know you’ve heard that a bazillion times, but we’re born with nothing. You own nothing. But what most of us do, Elon Musk would be a great case, is we attach our self-importance and our power to these ideas, not even recognizing that spiritually these attachments are weakness. They are blindness. But many people like Musk, they attach to the money and the status and the power because a part of them believes that they’re doing great things in the world, and they may be to some degree, but millions of people admire them and they want what they have. When in truth, that kind of life is prison if it’s mismanaged, which in my opinion only, I think that’s a lot of what Mr. Musk is doing. So food for thought. Think about that. Really think about that after this episode and start exploring anything that causes… I’ll leave it at this. Anything that causes you a lack of happiness, there is an attachment to it. And I often will stop and say to myself, if I’m feeling something like I’m not liking this, I will stop and say, “okay, Jim, what are you attached to?”
All right. You know, I just started asking recently, if you would, please, if you got value here, share the episode with other people. I would greatly appreciate it. And that way you and I together can both help more people. And if you would, please go to iTunes and leave me a five-star review. Anything lower than that will not help me at all. Thank you for listening. And it’s an absolute blessing to be of service. And I will catch you next week on the next episode. Take care. Bye-bye.
Okay, so here is the throwback episode. Here we go. You’re listening to the Transform Your Life from the Inside Out podcast. This is a throwback episode to episode number 132, “Five Random Thoughts to Change Your Life, Volume 3.” These five thoughts that I dig into in the episode are: number one, being careful of your emotions because your emotions will drive you into the ditch. Number two is life is this way or that way because we tell ourself it is this way or that way. We’ve got to actually start paying attention to our self-talk. Number three, mastery is repetition. Number four, changing your life (and I love this thought) changing your life is really simple, but it requires devotion. Most people think changing life is hard. No, it’s not hard at all. It’s simple but requires devotion. And finally, if you don’t have humbleness, you lose everything. All really good things. And the reason I actually did several episodes like that is because you guys gave me great feedback. You guys loved it. So enjoy the episode.
Okay, that’s it. Actually, let me add one final comment to the last ending, the throwback, okay? I’m going to actually add a different ending to it. Okay, so hopefully you enjoy this episode. And the reason that I did this a while back, and I did several of these like this, is many of you guys said that you really like this format. It’s easy to digest. So hopefully you like this one just as well. And please enjoy the episode. Okay, that wraps us up.
