(00:00:01): The Tya Podcast. (00:00:03): Discover the daily practice that makes spirituality actually work. (00:00:07): Going beyond law of attraction to turn struggle into prosperity and success into real happiness. (00:00:14): Tya is an advanced operating system for life, and you're about to learn it right now. (00:00:20): David Rood, Tya Coach, Tya Geek, self-proclaimed Tya Geek. (00:00:27): Well, yeah, thank you. (00:00:28): I think I said it first, but you gave me the name, I have to say. (00:00:31): It was not for me, but it sticks. (00:00:34): But we're clarifying that you're not offended by it. (00:00:36): And if you are, you'll get over it. (00:00:39): Yeah, yeah. (00:00:42): Well, I call myself tag geek, too, but you really geek out on the practice, and I love that. (00:00:47): I do. (00:00:48): I love that. (00:00:49): I was a band geek in high school, (00:00:50): so this is not really a far stretch from that, (00:00:53): to be honest with you. (00:00:54): Did you love being a band geek in high school? (00:00:58): No, that was kind of a derogatory thing. (00:01:00): Although it's funny, in my high school, the band kids didn't get that kind of flack a whole lot. (00:01:06): We were kind of, nobody cared about us. (00:01:08): In other schools, they got bullied because they were in band. (00:01:11): And I didn't understand why, but I was fortunate. (00:01:14): I never actually had to deal with being bullied because I was a musician. (00:01:17): which is funny now as an adult you're like why would you bully somebody for that (00:01:22): you know but when you're a high school kid it's a bit different you know so yeah (00:01:24): what era were you in high school what i grew up it was like 90s yeah okay so not (00:01:29): too far i was i graduated high school in late 80s so in the 80s in the south in my (00:01:37): very conservative southern high school i don't remember the band people i think (00:01:41): they kind of just stuck to themselves (00:01:44): I couldn't tell you who they were. (00:01:47): Quieter, I guess, just did their own thing. (00:01:49): They certainly weren't the quote unquote cool kids that I'm aware of or the popular (00:01:53): kids or any of that. (00:01:55): But I don't remember bullying necessarily. (00:01:59): But in the 90s, geek took on a different vibe because of all the tech geeks, right? (00:02:05): And now they're running the world. (00:02:07): They're our billionaires now. (00:02:09): So, yeah, I think geek changed a little bit. (00:02:12): But that's not what this episode is about. (00:02:14): We're not here to talk about geek or no geek. (00:02:16): I'm actually here to break it to David because he is a fan of (00:02:24): my trance channeling of the stream and i don't really do that anymore and so i'm (00:02:35): here to to break the news david that i i'm not doing that anymore oh i'm sorry uh (00:02:43): well (00:02:44): We kind of discussed this a little bit before we came on, (00:02:47): but I am still allowing that knowledge to flow, (00:02:52): but it feels so integrated these days. (00:02:56): And I've said this before, (00:02:57): and I went an entire year without doing it, (00:02:59): and then I kind of got back into it a little bit because everybody was asking for (00:03:02): it. (00:03:02): I even did a live event last year in Palm Springs where everybody came to the event (00:03:07): just for that. (00:03:09): So I understand the appreciation behind it, but... (00:03:15): I don't feel that it's serving the audience like it used to. (00:03:25): The concept of trance channeling is you are taking yourself into an altered state of being. (00:03:34): I like to say you're setting your ego aside and you're letting knowledge flow from (00:03:40): somewhere else. (00:03:45): And I have said from the very beginning that I feel like that knowledge exists (00:03:50): within all of us. (00:03:53): That I wasn't trying to say, (00:03:55): I'm special, (00:03:56): I have this, (00:03:58): and you need to come and listen because you don't have access to this. (00:04:02): But I do see that there's value in the fact that I have spent a lifetime listening (00:04:09): to this inner voice (00:04:11): And I think the difference between me and a lot of other people is that very early on in life, (00:04:21): I did not really care for what I was hearing externally. (00:04:25): And I wasn't hearing a lot from my parents. (00:04:27): They were very disconnected from me in early life. (00:04:29): I was really kind of left to my own devices. (00:04:32): And I really leaned into that inner voice and kept listening and kept listening and (00:04:36): kept listening. (00:04:37): And then I learned to trust it because when I listened to the inner voice and (00:04:40): trusted it and did, (00:04:42): I won't say that was guiding me to anything, (00:04:44): but just I acted on the information that it was offering. (00:04:48): It always worked. (00:04:50): I defied odds. (00:04:52): I defied some significant odds in life listening to the inner voice more than (00:04:57): listening to what was being said to me by authority figures, (00:05:00): for example. (00:05:02): I just kept doing that and doing that and doing that and getting bigger and bigger (00:05:05): and bigger life results as a result of doing that. (00:05:08): I didn't even know what channeling was for many, many years. (00:05:12): And then somebody said, you're a channel. (00:05:14): I went to see a psychic. (00:05:15): And if you've been listening to this for a long time, (00:05:17): you've heard this story a million times, (00:05:18): so I won't go too deep into it. (00:05:19): But the psychic said, you're a channel. (00:05:21): This is what channeling is. (00:05:22): And this is someone you may want to listen to. (00:05:24): And the someone that she suggested was Abraham Hicks. (00:05:28): And I initially was very turned off by that. (00:05:30): I thought it was weird and it looked like religion to me and I'd already stepped (00:05:33): away from religion until it sort of kept coming back around to me in a way that I (00:05:38): felt like I could no longer avoid it. (00:05:40): And Esther's sharing of Abraham made channeling for me palatable. (00:05:46): And then I learned how to do it. (00:05:47): I taught myself how to do it. (00:05:49): I accepted that, okay, I do have this. (00:05:52): I understand this information that's being shared. (00:05:55): And I understand it a little differently. (00:05:57): And I'm going to go out and I'm going to start sharing my own version of it. (00:06:01): And where is this coming from? (00:06:04): And where it was coming from was what I call source. (00:06:09): And I think we're all source. (00:06:10): I think we're all expressions of source. (00:06:11): So we surely have access to this information, but not all at the same level, obviously. (00:06:17): So that's where the stream of David came from. (00:06:19): That's why there's not a name that is this entity that is a former human or some (00:06:25): sort of deity or an alien. (00:06:27): It's never been that. (00:06:28): It has always been a stream of consciousness that's coming from me, the stream of David. (00:06:33): And what came from the stream (00:06:38): was the operating system that we now call TIA. (00:06:46): And I think the value of everything that's been offered from them is not in what (00:06:50): they're offering as much as the system that we've all created together to practice (00:06:56): what they're telling us. (00:06:58): which is the more you appreciate things, (00:07:02): the more you understand things, (00:07:05): the more you focus on the things that you want to experience and an authentic (00:07:10): belief that they're already yours, (00:07:12): then your life is going to get better and better and better as a result of that. (00:07:15): So that's what Taya is. (00:07:18): So why do we need me to go into trance to tell you that same thing over and over again now? (00:07:29): And I'm asking you that question because I know you still want to hear from them. (00:07:34): Welcome to being a guest on this podcast. (00:07:36): Well, thank you. (00:07:38): Yeah, so I know that's a good point. (00:07:40): And I think that as you're saying all this, (00:07:42): I think that there are... (00:07:46): So to answer the question as best I can, (00:07:49): I think a lot of the channeling and the stream over my few years of doing this and (00:07:55): my interactions with the stream... (00:07:57): has a lot to do with the, (00:07:59): I think, (00:07:59): the intention and this sort of work and, (00:08:04): I guess, (00:08:05): effort of the receiver. (00:08:08): So for me, (00:08:08): when I was going through the boot camp, (00:08:10): for example, (00:08:11): I would, (00:08:12): you know, (00:08:13): many times people go through these sort of programs, (00:08:14): they have a bit of an ego battle or they can come face to face with their own (00:08:19): shadow of their psyche or things like that. (00:08:21): And we have, (00:08:22): I went through quite a bit of what I could consider kind of an existential crisis (00:08:25): when I was in boot camp. (00:08:28): And I came up to a lot of situations – well, (00:08:32): not a lot, (00:08:32): but I think two times I came up to a situation where it was like a showstopper. (00:08:36): I hit a roadblock. (00:08:37): I didn't know which way to go. (00:08:39): And many times when I was kind of needing or looking for or seeking guidance on that, (00:08:47): I was pretty discerning about, (00:08:49): is this a question I should ask the stream or is this a question I should ask David (00:08:54): or one of the coaches or one of my Thai friends? (00:08:57): And a lot of my decision, (00:08:59): how I decided that, (00:09:01): it's sort of like the stream wouldn't really have a human perspective of it. (00:09:05): They would tell you this sort of kind of lofty, in the clouds, metaphysical kind of perspective. (00:09:14): And if that helped get clarity, then that was very useful. (00:09:17): I could get clarity many times from the stream that I couldn't get through any (00:09:21): other human that was kind of still looking at it through their own sort of like (00:09:24): opinions. (00:09:26): However, (00:09:27): if it was like I'm down in the dumps that one day and I couldn't figure out how to (00:09:31): do it or if it was a human thing I was going through. (00:09:34): then talking to like a friend like hey how do you deal with this how do you where's (00:09:38): you know like uh how do you detune stuff or you know like more uh hands-on human (00:09:43): approach what it would would help with that so i use both and that's why um when (00:09:49): you hear me say like i still like the stream to be around it's because there's that (00:09:54): aspect from the stream that you're not going to get from someone who's (00:10:01): still got their human mind very present. (00:10:05): Now, (00:10:06): here's the catch though, (00:10:07): and I can see this, (00:10:09): that there are people out there who don't do the work on themselves and don't do (00:10:14): the practice and don't really look inside (00:10:17): and then go to the stream for the answer because they're too either lazy or don't (00:10:23): have enough guts to actually work on themselves. (00:10:27): So for me, (00:10:27): when I was going through the practice, (00:10:29): it was like when I was like in one of those roadblocks, (00:10:32): first step was like internal searching and asking my own inner guidance. (00:10:37): if that was not getting anywhere then i would go to like the stream or a coach but (00:10:42): i was always go internal first go for myself in my own thinking so i think if a (00:10:47): person is very genuine in that the stream has a great place however if they're (00:10:54): looking for like a shaman to like read my tarot or something like that then that's (00:10:59): not going to work because you're just it's kind of like it's like an empire strikes (00:11:04): back with like (00:11:05): luke skywalker goes into that swamp and dagobah and he goes to take his lightsaber (00:11:10): and yoda says you don't need your weapons he says what's in there only what you (00:11:15): take with you it's a bit like that if you go to the stream you're still taking (00:11:19): yourself to the stream but so that's that's my opinion about it that's why i'm i'm (00:11:24): not i mean i could see that the (00:11:28): the channeling the trans channeling can be like a crutch for some for many actually (00:11:35): well that's that's exactly because the stream is still very present i i do an hour (00:11:39): a day of quiet contemplation where i absolutely am accessing that anytime i'm (00:11:44): teaching if you do the sunday you come to the sunday lives about 10 or 15 minutes (00:11:49): into that live you're getting that you're still getting it it's coming from my (00:11:53): perspective generally every once in a while the we comes out (00:11:58): automatically doing that, which is interesting. (00:12:02): And it's so funny because this newer concept, (00:12:08): newer mainstream concept of being non-binary is changing pronouns and all of that. (00:12:13): And all of a sudden, (00:12:15): I go from he, (00:12:17): I to they, (00:12:17): them, (00:12:17): we, (00:12:18): and it has nothing to do with my gender or identity or anything like that. (00:12:22): It's simply that just starts to flow sometimes. (00:12:25): So I'm not saying it doesn't still happen. (00:12:27): I don't want to create dependency on that. (00:12:31): We have created an academy. (00:12:34): We have layers and levels of learning Taya from just starting out (00:12:41): and beginning to figure out what conscious creation is to what I believe is the (00:12:45): forefront, (00:12:46): the leading edge of this type of thought, (00:12:49): especially at our mastermind level. (00:12:51): And we like to share that here on this podcast as well. (00:12:54): So we give you all of it. (00:12:55): And some of it may be so far out there that it just sounds weird or crazy or I'm (00:13:00): nowhere near that yet. (00:13:01): But if it's intriguing to you and if it's something that you want to give power to, (00:13:06): then it's something that's going to have value for you. (00:13:09): But not everybody is here on the same journey. (00:13:11): I do not believe in a one size fits all. (00:13:15): There's no evidence of that, right? (00:13:16): There's no evidence that there's a one size fits all way of being, way of operating your life. (00:13:21): There are atheists that are living perfectly happy, (00:13:24): joyful, (00:13:25): abundant lives that don't believe in anything. (00:13:27): outside of what they see as concrete. (00:13:30): There are religious people that are doing the same, (00:13:34): and there are spiritual people that are going to like an Abraham Hicks weekend, (00:13:40): and they're very happy in that space, (00:13:43): and maybe they stay in that space forever, (00:13:46): as long as they're physically manifested, (00:13:48): or maybe they do that for a while and then move on to something else. (00:13:52): I tend to, (00:13:53): I've noticed that an aspect of my persona is that I get bored with things and I (00:13:59): need something new, (00:14:00): something more. (00:14:02): And I moved through all these different levels. (00:14:06): It started out being very just introspective for me because I didn't have access to (00:14:10): metaphysical books or ideas or thoughts in the 1970s and 1980s growing up in small (00:14:15): town Louisiana. (00:14:15): And (00:14:20): I grew up in an environment where anything along those lines would be considered (00:14:23): demonic or witchcraft and was not available to me anywhere that I'm aware of. (00:14:27): So I started out there. (00:14:29): And then I started sampling other thoughts and ideas and reading books and studying (00:14:34): other teachers and gathering from them. (00:14:37): And I sort of took a lot of that as far as I could take it. (00:14:41): And then I, as I explained earlier, was turned on to channeling, avoided that for a while. (00:14:47): Then I really dove deep into the Abraham Hicks world. (00:14:49): That was very helpful for a while. (00:14:51): And then I sort of reached a plateau with that where, (00:14:54): okay, (00:14:55): coming to these Saturdays and listening to the tapes over and over again, (00:14:59): have taken me to this space, but I know there's more than this. (00:15:06): And that's why I started sharing the stream, (00:15:08): not to be the next Abraham and not to criticize Abraham. (00:15:11): I've always said that, that I referenced them a lot (00:15:15): Because it was such a transformative part of my journey. (00:15:20): And a lot of people in our world have been through that journey as well. (00:15:24): But I needed to know, okay, what's beyond this? (00:15:27): Because there's got to be something more than just this message. (00:15:32): This message is right for someone who is in this space. (00:15:36): But I needed a system. (00:15:38): I needed a system to actually make those ideas a way of life. (00:15:43): And so... (00:15:45): I went deeper into the value of low vibration because that's really what emerged (00:15:49): from my channeling was, (00:15:51): hey, (00:15:51): don't think that you just have to be high vibe all the time like so many people are (00:15:55): saying that are starting to explore conscious creation. (00:15:59): Low vibe has a lot of value. (00:16:01): And it's never going to completely go away. (00:16:03): You're never going to be completely finished with your low vibe experiences because (00:16:07): there's a lot of expansive value in low vibration. (00:16:12): So why don't we focus on all of that? (00:16:13): And then from that emerged from my creative mind and the other people that were (00:16:19): creating what we now call Taya With Me were the four pillars that we operate our (00:16:23): lives on. (00:16:26): And that has proven over these years to be everything that we really need to be on (00:16:31): this ever expanding journey. (00:16:33): Well, (00:16:33): now I've expanded to the point where the stream is so integrated that I can teach (00:16:39): and it can flow when I really let loose and allow it to. (00:16:42): But. (00:16:45): the trance aspect of it, (00:16:48): meaning when I sit and breathe and do the we are here and kind of start speaking (00:16:56): from that perspective, (00:16:59): I just don't feel like I need to do that anymore. (00:17:01): It just needs to happen naturally. (00:17:04): And we need to appreciate that it's natural. (00:17:06): And I think that the reason that I don't want to do it anymore the way that I've (00:17:10): done it, (00:17:10): well, (00:17:10): there's two things. (00:17:11): One, (00:17:12): thanks to technology, we have years of recordings of that already. (00:17:16): There's an entire book written from that perspective that will always be. (00:17:20): The Thai practice book is channeled material. (00:17:22): So you get that perspective in the book and you hear it in the audio book. (00:17:26): I am in channeling mode in that book. (00:17:28): And, (00:17:30): do we need me to keep doing that or can we move on and focus on okay now let's take (00:17:35): taya and let's continue practicing taya to the point where it's not just a practice (00:17:42): it's now an operating system that's new language as of this past year that we're (00:17:47): calling it an operating system it's more than just a mindset practice it's a (00:17:52): full-blown (00:17:53): foundational operating system that you can run your life with. (00:17:56): Let's run with that. (00:17:57): Nobody else is doing that. (00:17:58): Let's do that. (00:17:59): Let's focus on that. (00:18:01): And let's create these different levels inside our academy that allow people to (00:18:07): apply this from the book, (00:18:09): from this podcast, (00:18:10): from YouTube, (00:18:11): Be intrigued by it. (00:18:12): See that it works. (00:18:13): Decide to give it power because everything has the power that you choose to give to it. (00:18:17): And then if you really want to keep giving it power, (00:18:19): go deeper and deeper and deeper into training with it, (00:18:22): which is where the academy level comes in. (00:18:24): And that's where being able to go really deep with it, (00:18:28): own your own as you did, (00:18:30): have your own trials and errors with it. (00:18:34): And the errors and the trials are really where the magic is. (00:18:36): You learn that in boot camp. (00:18:39): And then come back around and talk to your community. (00:18:41): Talk to the friends that you're making that are also practicing this in your community. (00:18:45): Talk to the coaches that are talking about this stuff all the time. (00:18:50): Talk to me. (00:18:51): I live it all the time, every day. (00:18:53): It's my whole life and it's my life's work. (00:18:55): And then decide, okay, I've done the intensive program. (00:18:59): I've installed this as an operating system. (00:19:02): Now, where do I want to go in terms of (00:19:04): What do I want to do next? (00:19:06): Do I want to just take this and go live my life with it? (00:19:08): And we've had plenty of people that have done that and they report back years later (00:19:12): that they're still utilizing it and they will for the rest of their lives and (00:19:15): they're very happy at the level they're at. (00:19:16): Or do I want to go on for another year in some sort of a training program? (00:19:20): Or do I want to get in a mastermind and help create this at the kind of the highest (00:19:25): level of thought and really help create it for the rest of humanity that is aligned (00:19:30): with it? (00:19:32): Whenever I talk about creating community and expanding community and creating this (00:19:38): sort of mesh or this Taya matrix, (00:19:42): it's not about indoctrinating all of humanity into Taya. (00:19:46): It never will be that. (00:19:47): But it is about expanding our reach to appeal to more and more people that are (00:19:55): asking for something like this, (00:19:57): that are aligned with it. (00:19:59): Always understanding that anyone that comes into our world, (00:20:02): you're always choosing your next step. (00:20:05): It's always up to you what you choose, (00:20:06): how deep you want to go, (00:20:08): whether you want to invest money in your practice or not, (00:20:11): how deep you want to go in installing this. (00:20:14): And we're very, very, very clear about that. (00:20:17): So if we're doing that at that high level and I've got six plus years of podcasts (00:20:24): where I've off and on channeled, (00:20:27): I've got an entire book where the whole message is contained there. (00:20:32): if I continue to do this trance channeling and do workshops and seminars where (00:20:37): people are coming to hear from the stream, (00:20:40): do we really need that? (00:20:41): I'm not saying I'm never going to do it again. (00:20:43): I'm just throwing an idea out there that this is kind of where I am right now, (00:20:47): that I am moving on from the stream of David. (00:20:49): It's the foundational, (00:20:50): it's never going to go away, (00:20:52): but you know, (00:20:53): the stream of David is no longer the title of this podcast. (00:20:58): intentionally because the stream of David has delivered clarity for us. (00:21:02): We know what that source-driven message is, and it's not very complicated. (00:21:08): It's pretty damn simple. (00:21:09): Source is appreciation of all things, period. (00:21:12): And if you want creation to happen in your life, (00:21:15): creation is always going to happen in the space of appreciation, (00:21:19): not fear, (00:21:19): not judgment, (00:21:20): not worry, (00:21:21): not doubt, (00:21:22): not resistance, (00:21:23): period. (00:21:25): So then the hard part is, (00:21:26): okay, (00:21:27): we've been brought up in this matrix that operates in opposition to that, (00:21:30): really opposite of that. (00:21:32): How do we continually detune the matrix, (00:21:35): detune our ego, (00:21:37): shrinking those things to their proper perspective and allow ourselves to live more (00:21:43): source-driven lives for the rest of our lives? (00:21:46): I mean, I think you made a point earlier about not wanting to create dependency. (00:21:51): on the stream and i i feel like that's kind of the responsibility of the consumer (00:21:55): actually because you know i could become dependent on you know uh i could go back (00:22:02): and listen to all the podcasts and okay let me put this way if i'm going if i'm (00:22:07): listening to the stream or listening to the podcast with the mindset of (00:22:11): I don't know what I'm doing and I can't figure it out. (00:22:15): So I'm going to go somewhere else for help because I don't trust my own sort of guidance. (00:22:20): Well, that would be kind of misguided and I could see that backfire. (00:22:24): But if I'm looking for more clarity, (00:22:26): because there are things I don't understand, (00:22:28): there are still things that, (00:22:30): um, (00:22:31): you know uh there's there's more layers to find and i think that that's a very (00:22:36): valid useful tool i think there's some merit also to keeping the practice and the (00:22:40): whole approach very pure uh because and as as simple as possible because um (00:22:49): Sometimes when our egos get involved, we like to overcomplicate things. (00:22:53): We start to add stuff. (00:22:55): Well, (00:22:55): some people like something that sounds very mystical and complicated and use a lot (00:22:59): of scientific language. (00:23:01): And the stream has always said the universe is actually very simple. (00:23:05): Yeah. (00:23:06): All creation is a product of consciousness first and consciousness is impacted by polarity. (00:23:12): Yeah. (00:23:13): as a growth as an expansion tool really but we don't understand polarity here (00:23:18): because we're so busy judging the challenge oh life is so hard earth is so terrible (00:23:24): humans are so evil you know we have all these labels that the matrix throws out (00:23:28): there and it's so prevalent yeah the ones high up i think really in the mastermind (00:23:34): group like the coaches like me and you and like derek and matt like all of us carry (00:23:39): we're all really in this i don't think we're doing that we're like (00:23:42): Why do I still think that way? (00:23:44): Oh, well, yeah. (00:23:47): That's the goal here is to not blame external sources for anything. (00:23:53): Because when you're doing that, you're giving your power away. (00:23:55): And anybody that's interested in this practice or this operating system, (00:23:59): I should say, (00:23:59): because it's morphing from a practice to an operating system. (00:24:02): Anybody that's interested in this... (00:24:04): needs to understand that that should be where you want to go. (00:24:08): If you're into this, if you're not into it, it's so easy to step away from it. (00:24:12): I get critics all the time on social media. (00:24:14): Oh, this is a cult. (00:24:15): This sounds like X, Y, Z. You're ripping off somebody else. (00:24:18): I hear all of that stuff. (00:24:20): And they haven't even bothered to really learn what it's all about. (00:24:23): They're just being internet trolls and trolls do what they do. (00:24:26): But understanding that (00:24:30): We're not trying to recruit people into this saying that this is the only way and (00:24:37): that everybody should do this this way. (00:24:40): I'm very clear that this is creative for people like all of us who have explored (00:24:47): and been on a journey and now want a foundational system to operate their lives by (00:24:51): that allow you to function on that journey and continue to expand in your journey (00:24:56): for the rest of your life. (00:24:58): That's why we say fall in love with the work because you're never finished with it. (00:25:01): There's always going to be some other level, (00:25:03): but it's not always the external things as much as it's inward, (00:25:07): inward, (00:25:07): inward, (00:25:08): inward. (00:25:08): This practice starts taking you really deep inward and you start to activate your (00:25:13): own version of source and get your own clarity. (00:25:15): But it's okay to come back around and say, okay, I'm getting from... (00:25:20): my quiet contemplation time that this is the path to detune or get to this next (00:25:26): level what do you all think there's a lot of value in that group thought absolutely (00:25:30): there is yeah (00:25:35): Well, (00:25:36): when I first started listening to your podcast back in 2019, (00:25:40): the thing that actually convinced me that the stream was legit is because they said (00:25:46): very explicitly, (00:25:48): if this doesn't make sense to you, (00:25:49): you're right to walk away. (00:25:51): And that to me is kind of like the gold standard with any sort of teaching is this (00:25:59): idea that if this isn't a fit for you, (00:26:02): There's no mandates. (00:26:04): You don't have to do this. (00:26:06): Well, there's a lot of power in creating a mandate. (00:26:09): We see that in religion. (00:26:10): Believe this or you're going to burn in hell, that sort of thing. (00:26:13): But I just have not found that to be true. (00:26:15): So how in the world could I possibly utilize that in a spiritually-based, (00:26:21): which has now become a psychology-based slash scientific-based because we see (00:26:26): elements of all of those things (00:26:28): we see the value in all of those things coming into the practice or the system and (00:26:35): my meeting michael was certainly no accident and michael and i sort of coming at it (00:26:41): from different perspectives you know he's a psychologist but he is a (00:26:46): mindfulness-based psychologist for sure but he sees the value for someone who is (00:26:53): choosing to believe this and give this power (00:26:57): in going beyond radical acceptance to radical appreciation. (00:27:02): That's where psychology and therapy and all of those things have to stop because (00:27:06): they don't know what your belief system is. (00:27:08): They're not impeding on religious beliefs and things like that. (00:27:11): And so they're not going to tell somebody who has suffered PTSD to appreciate the (00:27:16): thing that's causing the PTSD. (00:27:19): And I understand why they stopped there. (00:27:20): And that's the psychology has its place. (00:27:23): Therapy has its place. (00:27:24): because we're not that we have the the the luxury is probably not the best word but (00:27:32): we have the advantage of going beyond that to hey why not full-blown appreciation (00:27:38): of that thing oh but it was so terrible it was so traumatic you don't understand (00:27:42): how horrible well you know i do understand even if i haven't personally experienced (00:27:48): exactly what someone else experienced (00:27:51): I absolutely have experienced things that people would say were traumatic experiences. (00:27:57): Yeah. (00:28:00): In my lifetime, I've had a knife pulled on me. (00:28:02): I've had a gun pulled on me. (00:28:04): I've had a mother tell me that she wishes I was never born and wishes I was dead (00:28:08): and didn't speak to me for the last part of her life. (00:28:10): I've had unsavory things happen in my life. (00:28:13): So I have been there. (00:28:15): I have been flat broke not knowing where my next meal was coming from. (00:28:20): I have experienced these things. (00:28:22): So... (00:28:25): I could very easily look at those things and choose the victim path and say those (00:28:29): were terrible, (00:28:30): awful, (00:28:30): horrible things. (00:28:32): I have had, (00:28:33): for lack of better terminology, (00:28:35): I've had sexual encounters with adults when I was a young child. (00:28:37): I've had those things happen. (00:28:41): I could choose to look at those things as something that I was a victim of, (00:28:44): but I've just really never chosen that. (00:28:46): And what it does is it's allowed me to reframe all of those things as just (00:28:50): experiences that I moved through. (00:28:53): And some of them were terrifying in the moment, painful, hard to move through. (00:28:58): But gosh, (00:28:59): every single thing that I endure and move through, (00:29:03): I understand now expands my consciousness, (00:29:06): makes me a wiser version of me because now I know what it's like. (00:29:11): And I've had the experience and I'm just choosing not to judge it as something that (00:29:15): shouldn't have happened or should not be or shouldn't exist. (00:29:18): If you have walked away from religion, (00:29:21): outgrown spirituality, (00:29:23): and realized that law of attraction was just more consumerism, (00:29:27): you're not lost, (00:29:28): you're actually awake. (00:29:30): You are promised peace and prosperity. (00:29:34): Religion took your power away and told you how to live. (00:29:37): Spirituality promised a new earth that never materialized. (00:29:41): And Law of Attraction turned creation into a shopping list in order to feel worthy. (00:29:47): But now you're standing out in the wilderness, (00:29:49): not knowing what to believe, (00:29:51): but knowing that there must be more truth out there than that. (00:29:55): And there is. (00:29:56): It's called emotional intelligence. (00:29:59): understanding how energy and polarity actually create your reality and how to live (00:30:05): in authentic peace no matter what's happening around you. (00:30:09): That's the foundation of TYA, T-Y-A, an advanced operating system for life. (00:30:14): If you're ready to get your power back and finally make sense of life, TYA is not a religion. (00:30:20): It's a proven mindset practice that is transforming lives globally. (00:30:23): And you can begin learning TYA today by getting our book on Amazon, (00:30:27): available in paperback, hardcover, Kindle, and audiobook formats. (00:30:32): Check it out. (00:30:32): It's a link below on Amazon.com. (00:30:35): There's part of me, (00:30:36): when you want to teach this to other people, (00:30:39): and when I left my corporate job to do this full time, (00:30:43): there was part of my ego that wanted to share this with the world from a very (00:30:46): ego-driven perspective of, (00:30:47): wow, (00:30:48): I really have the answers to everything. (00:30:50): I still feel like I do, but I understand now it's not my place to share that with the world. (00:30:56): I could very easily be a guru who is on social media with a million followers doing (00:31:04): what those folks do, (00:31:05): but they're also creating dependency on that message to get that level of (00:31:09): following, (00:31:10): and they're keeping it in a certain lane. (00:31:12): And that lane works. (00:31:13): And I'm not saying they're bad. (00:31:16): I'm saying that lane exists to serve people who are in that stage, (00:31:20): whether those people choose to be in that stage indefinitely or if it's just a (00:31:24): phase that serves them. (00:31:26): I think that they all exist for a reason. (00:31:27): They're all great. (00:31:29): Keep doing what you're doing. (00:31:30): What you're doing is wonderful. (00:31:32): Not everyone is going to continue to move through... (00:31:38): I'm sounding very arrogant again here, (00:31:40): but... (00:31:41): I can acknowledge that everyone that's in our world has sampled these things and (00:31:46): experienced them and moved through them. (00:31:48): And then they sort of get to this point where, okay, I want to know what's next, what's more. (00:31:53): And, (00:31:56): That's our people, right? (00:31:58): And everybody's not there and not everybody's going to get there. (00:32:00): But those are our folks. (00:32:02): And that's who we're here for. (00:32:04): And I can't be here for them and still be trying to save people from themselves or (00:32:10): teach Law of Attraction 101 or I heard a term the other day, (00:32:15): love bomb people. (00:32:15): Sometimes I'm on these podcasts and I'll hear it. (00:32:18): Hi, everyone. (00:32:18): We love you so much. (00:32:20): Hi, lovely, beautiful souls and all that stuff. (00:32:22): And I'm kind of like, okay, you know, if that's your thing, that's cool. (00:32:25): But that's, you know, I... (00:32:29): I understand the need for people to feel that loving warmth and that nurturing sometimes. (00:32:36): I have needed that at times, (00:32:38): not in a long time, (00:32:39): but I have been there where I needed that from something. (00:32:41): If you're not getting it from your family and you're not giving it to yourself, (00:32:45): it feels good to hear it from somebody else. (00:32:47): Our message is always, (00:32:48): let's teach you how to do that for yourself so that you don't need that from (00:32:53): anybody else. (00:32:54): And maybe that's just not where you are. (00:32:56): And I, again, 2019, I said it, I'm still saying it in 2026. (00:33:00): If that's not where you are and this isn't for you, (00:33:02): then you're right to turn it off and walk away from it. (00:33:05): You're just not at the space in your. (00:33:07): and wherever you are and maybe you're believing that you're beyond this and that's (00:33:11): okay too but this is this is our lane this is what we do and i would rather stay in (00:33:16): this lane and do this better than anybody that i'm aware of to the best of my (00:33:20): ability because i believe that's how we're serving the people that choose this as (00:33:25): their system yeah no that's all fair i think it makes sense i think the main i see (00:33:33): you know i'm thinking like what are the sort of two most (00:33:37): common struggles I see with the people and like in the, (00:33:43): in the clients I work with in the, (00:33:44): in the price exchange program, (00:33:46): and then conversations I had with other Thai folk is that I think the two areas (00:33:50): that seem to come up the most are, (00:33:53): um, (00:33:55): sustaining the practice as in doing the work. (00:34:00): Maybe Matt has said many times, (00:34:01): like when you feel like things are going well and you're really like, (00:34:05): you know, like you're on a roll, that's when you keep doing the practice. (00:34:10): Well, the problem is when life gets really good, then we think, oh, this is great. (00:34:13): I'm going to really relax around my practice. (00:34:15): And then it starts to fall apart and you suddenly need to get back in. (00:34:20): And the spin out, that's called a spin out and spin out's part of it. (00:34:22): Yeah. (00:34:23): You know, (00:34:23): there's always some area of my life where I am spun out and I will always tell all (00:34:26): of you where I'm spun out. (00:34:28): Right now, it is not in happiness. (00:34:30): It is not in relationships. (00:34:31): It is not financial at all. (00:34:33): Right now where I'm spun out is health. (00:34:36): I put a lot of weight back on during COVID and I was really getting back into shape (00:34:40): at the beginning of last year. (00:34:41): And then I got so hyper focused on creating this new technology that we're using (00:34:48): now that is wonderful. (00:34:52): I got so hyper focused on that, I started letting the health go again. (00:34:56): And now in 2026, (00:34:57): my intention for this year is, (00:34:59): okay, (00:35:00): we've created, (00:35:01): not I, (00:35:01): we, (00:35:02): we have created this incredible technology where anybody can go to tieacademy.com, (00:35:07): take that little three question survey, (00:35:09): and it starts you on a journey. (00:35:12): into our world and you can and if you get derailed, (00:35:16): if you spin out of our world, (00:35:18): you can go right back to tie academy dot com and start over again. (00:35:21): And then it's going to logically take you. (00:35:24): There's all this conditional logic that's built into it now that's logically going (00:35:29): to take you where you want to go next, (00:35:31): depending on how deep you want to go, (00:35:34): how committed you are to going there and how ready you are to invest money or not (00:35:39): in it. (00:35:40): And there is a path for everyone. (00:35:43): And so I love that we've built that because we're serving everybody in terms of (00:35:49): readiness, (00:35:49): financial ability, (00:35:51): and just willingness to really put time into this. (00:35:56): So our system is built now for that, (00:35:58): but it took a long time and a whole lot of work to get it all built. (00:36:02): And I got so excited and so hyper-focused on that, that I stopped going to the gym (00:36:08): And my eating, which was so clean, kind of unraveled a little bit. (00:36:12): And my body is giving me feedback of that now that, (00:36:15): hey, (00:36:15): you know, (00:36:16): you need to focus on your health a little more. (00:36:18): So that's my thing now where I'm spun out that I will start paying attention to. (00:36:22): And as soon as I get that plate spinning, something else will spin out. (00:36:25): But I love this because I know that that's how creation occurs. (00:36:33): That stress testing happens. (00:36:36): your system on a continual basis is why low vibration exists and why we always have (00:36:42): challenges no matter what. (00:36:45): I promise you, (00:36:46): the people that are placed on a pedestal as being the most successful humans we (00:36:51): know of, (00:36:51): the Elon Musks, (00:36:53): the Jeff Bezos, (00:36:54): the Beyonce's of the world, (00:36:56): all of those people have plenty of things stressing them out in their lives or at (00:37:02): least creating challenges in their lives right now. (00:37:07): Everybody does. (00:37:08): We're all here for that. (00:37:10): As soon as you check off all the boxes that the matrix tells you you're supposed to (00:37:14): check off, (00:37:15): you've got money, (00:37:16): you've got security, (00:37:17): you're educated, (00:37:18): you're intelligent, (00:37:19): you're meditating, (00:37:20): you're grounded, (00:37:21): your relationships. (00:37:22): As soon as you think everything is working, (00:37:24): something is going to happen that's going to challenge you yet again. (00:37:28): And it's very easy to slip back into the, (00:37:30): oh gosh, (00:37:30): I've done all this work and I've got all these things and I'm really signaling (00:37:35): everything the matrix says I'm supposed to be. (00:37:37): Why this? (00:37:38): Why now? (00:37:38): Why me? (00:37:39): Why a challenge? (00:37:42): And it's because the universe is designed to continually keep us in a state of (00:37:45): challenge, (00:37:47): not in a state of stress, (00:37:49): because the stress is chosen via the judgment of the challenge. (00:37:53): It is, yeah, yeah. (00:37:54): It doesn't have to be stress, but it is, yeah, challenges. (00:37:58): That's a good way to put it. (00:37:59): The other thing that I see a lot in my own personal practice and with my clients is (00:38:05): people who sometimes – (00:38:08): They know that there's something standing in the way in their thinking, (00:38:16): but they can't see their own operating system enough to really identify where it (00:38:21): is. (00:38:21): And I do have this with clients sometimes where that's why when I'm doing coaching, (00:38:26): I'm 100% focused on listening to like trying to (00:38:31): listen to the thinking behind whatever they're saying and try to see where the, (00:38:34): the thought process of how things are connecting. (00:38:37): And it's, what I'm talking about is our blind spots. (00:38:40): We all have blind spots. (00:38:42): Well, (00:38:43): it's helpful to have interaction with other people around your blind spots because (00:38:46): sometimes it's, (00:38:47): you're so in your own head in your own space that other people can detect things (00:38:52): and point things out because they're getting a more limited experience. (00:38:55): version of you, they can detect it and pinpoint it better than you can. (00:38:59): That's why coaching is so popular now because coaching is very valuable. (00:39:03): If you're working with a coach who is sincere and sincerely attempting to assist (00:39:11): you in some way rather than just, (00:39:13): you know, (00:39:14): and that's, (00:39:16): that was actually coming back to what we started this whole conversation about. (00:39:19): That was the benefit of the stream. (00:39:21): because the stream had no agenda for trying to like get me to do one thing to sign (00:39:27): up for another coaching or something. (00:39:28): Stream was like, I could just say, and that was like my kickoff call with bootcamp. (00:39:33): uh i remember like we were the idea was to identify your three root transgressors (00:39:37): you're going to work on a boot camp and the stream just said like so what were your (00:39:40): early childhood memories and i kind of just went in this like i saw the recording i (00:39:44): wouldn't like this 10 minute like sort of like talking of stuff and i i was just (00:39:48): sort of going and then they said well you you're right transgressors are blank (00:39:52): blank blank and they just like this your three roots and i was like oh (00:39:56): where'd she come up with that and they said something like well we just asked you a (00:40:00): simple question you talked for 10 minutes and we you know something like that you (00:40:03): know but i think that that's the that is the that's the one thing that i i still (00:40:08): feel that the channeling can deliver that a human can't because a human is always (00:40:15): going to have some subconscious opinion or agenda (00:40:21): As much as we have good intentions, (00:40:23): like I'm always like when I'm teaching or coaching or anything, (00:40:25): it's always to help the student first. (00:40:29): And that's my genuine intention. (00:40:31): But there's still every human is going to have some subliminal subconscious. (00:40:38): I mean, my goal in my channeling was always to get my ego out of there completely was the goal. (00:40:44): And I think by and large, my channel, there wasn't. (00:40:47): much david left at all there but i do see with other channels that and i and i (00:40:55): would be remiss to say that i have any ego there because i see that in other (00:40:58): channels where there's definitely a line they won't cross and that's the ego back (00:41:05): there not wanting to go into certain topics (00:41:11): Right. (00:41:12): Limiting the channel message. (00:41:13): And I believe in the purity of I can't speak about every channel. (00:41:18): I haven't listened to every channel. (00:41:19): You know, (00:41:19): the channels that I listen to, (00:41:21): I know that like Abraham Hicks, (00:41:24): for example, (00:41:25): still has some Christian. (00:41:28): There's some of Esther's maybe Christian, (00:41:32): I don't even know if it's upbringing, (00:41:34): but it's sort of a Christian, (00:41:35): at least adjacent belief system. (00:41:37): When I used to listen to it, (00:41:38): I haven't listened to it in a while, (00:41:39): that was still a little woven into that. (00:41:41): And I think it's because they were speaking to an audience (00:41:44): That was probably a post-Christian audience by and large. (00:41:48): And they were being, (00:41:49): and I'm not saying that this is, (00:41:50): you know, (00:41:52): malintent at all, (00:41:53): but they're understanding who their audience is and still projecting to that (00:41:57): audience in a way that they can receive it, (00:41:59): which is not bad. (00:42:01): Again, (00:42:01): that's probably why it worked for me at that time is that in the beginning, (00:42:05): I thought it was very Christian. (00:42:06): And I realized, okay, this isn't really that. (00:42:07): They just sort of market it that way. (00:42:09): Because that ask in his given book cover seemed very Christian. (00:42:14): He has the dove flying and all that stuff. (00:42:16): And so once I detuned my judgment of that, I got into it. (00:42:21): But I still heard that woven into Abraham's message. (00:42:25): And then I, again, seek to detune judgment when I discover judgment. (00:42:30): Okay, they're speaking to a certain type of audience here. (00:42:34): They're not trying to be a one-size-fits-all, nor should you be. (00:42:38): to everyone because they're just we're not in a one size fits all world. (00:42:41): So that makes sense. (00:42:42): So I understand what you're saying, (00:42:43): because the David mind is always going to say, (00:42:47): you know, (00:42:47): there's value in Thai Academy. (00:42:50): There's value in taking that because I do believe there is. (00:42:53): But I think for someone who's new to this, (00:42:58): you can't help in this day and age but think, (00:43:01): OK, (00:43:02): this guy's just trying to get me to take his expensive program. (00:43:06): Yeah, that's what I thought. (00:43:12): We have a very expensive program. (00:43:14): And that supports this work. (00:43:17): And I like to be very transparent about that. (00:43:20): That's okay. (00:43:21): I like to be transparent about it because it's okay for you to be skeptical because (00:43:25): there's certainly... (00:43:25): I have... (00:43:28): rubbed elbows with lots of people in the coaching industry. (00:43:31): And of course, that industry was already well on its growth pattern when I got into it. (00:43:38): I was skeptical of it. (00:43:40): When I got on the person that taught me how to do a coaching online coaching, (00:43:45): I was very like, (00:43:46): oh, (00:43:46): no, (00:43:47): no, (00:43:47): no, (00:43:47): I'm not going to be that. (00:43:48): I'm not going to be one of those cheesy coaches that's teaching people to get rich quick. (00:43:52): We can, you know, no, no, no, no. (00:43:54): I remember the videos I used to see of these folks and I'm not going to be in front (00:43:56): of the Lamborghini. (00:43:58): I'm going to teach you how to be a millionaire, you know, and she handled me so well. (00:44:03): I was so and I knew she was handling me, but I was so impressed in the moment. (00:44:06): She kind of said, actually, you need to go meditate about this. (00:44:10): And she really put me in my place. (00:44:12): And I got off the meeting and I went and meditated about it. (00:44:15): And I'm not kidding to this day. (00:44:17): I've told the story a million times. (00:44:19): The stream came through and the message was, hey, dumbass. (00:44:23): You want to teach people how to make this what we now call a system because you're (00:44:28): a systems guy. (00:44:29): You want to take all these lofty teachings and make it a daily system. (00:44:33): This is how you do that. (00:44:35): Stop being judgmental of this. (00:44:37): Stop being fearful around money. (00:44:40): I gave her $15,000. (00:44:42): I took her program and I never look back. (00:44:45): I don't regret it. (00:44:47): I would pay $100,000 for that now easily. (00:44:50): I do feel there's an honesty in the stream. (00:44:52): I don't talk about other channels. (00:44:52): I don't want the stream. (00:44:54): I feel there's an honesty in the stream that you're never going to get from a human. (00:44:58): And that was the other thing, (00:45:00): too, (00:45:00): is I never asked the stream anything that I wasn't prepared for a brutally honest (00:45:07): answer. (00:45:08): And I was prepared that they could tell me something I really don't like. (00:45:12): Yeah. (00:45:13): Yeah, (00:45:14): the deal I made with them, (00:45:15): because the first time I channeled ever was the very first episode of this podcast. (00:45:22): It used to be called the Stream of David, (00:45:23): but now you find it as the Taya podcast, (00:45:26): not the Taya practice podcast. (00:45:28): That's something we did for a minute and stopped. (00:45:30): There's only a handful of episodes of that. (00:45:32): the taya podcast is is the podcast that used to be the stream of david and so there (00:45:36): are people uh robin who just graduated uh high stakes change she went back and (00:45:41): listened from day one and is listening to the entire people do that yeah if you (00:45:46): want to hear the whole journey of the stream from the very first time i channeled (00:45:51): through all of the iterations of hey i'm doing a boot camp and hey it's called (00:45:56): In the beginning, (00:45:56): it was called abundance breakthroughs and then it was Taya and then it was this and (00:45:59): it was that. (00:45:59): And then my house burned down. (00:46:00): And, (00:46:01): you know, (00:46:01): all of these things that I went through in my journey to arriving here, (00:46:06): that's all archived. (00:46:07): If you're interested in all of that, it's there. (00:46:09): Yeah. (00:46:10): So it's you brought up a very interesting point. (00:46:14): I'm glad that you did it. (00:46:15): Maybe that's something that we need to think about. (00:46:18): If you feel like you are best served from hearing from trance channeling that is (00:46:23): brutally honest, (00:46:24): because my trance channeling could absolutely get me into a lot of trouble. (00:46:29): Yeah. (00:46:30): And I don't care, but you know, it's, it's, they'll be very honest about things. (00:46:37): That's always why I ask. (00:46:38): Cause I would rather the honest smack in the face. (00:46:42): Yeah. (00:46:42): than to not know. (00:46:44): Yeah. (00:46:45): And I believe I'm capable of doing that without trance, (00:46:48): just like I'm capable of sitting here talking about pricing and coaching programs (00:46:52): and what's real and what isn't and what you should do, (00:46:54): you know, (00:46:55): all of that, (00:46:56): that most people in my position don't ever talk about. (00:46:58): Right. (00:46:59): I still, (00:47:00): I do feel there's space for the channeling in going forward in the practice for (00:47:08): that reason, (00:47:09): like a sailor cat keeps the North star. (00:47:13): insight you know and there is value to that because that and i think i what i think (00:47:19): it sounds to me like what we want to steer away from is the gimmicky showmanship (00:47:25): aspect of it i have talked about internally recently about creating this sort of (00:47:31): taya network or mesh or matrix whatever you want to call it and it's about (00:47:39): exposing this to more and more people who will be aligned with it. (00:47:44): And we're doing more marketing and ads and things right now just to reach more people. (00:47:49): And the reason that we're doing that is not to convert people to Thaiism and say (00:47:54): that this is the only way you have to do it. (00:47:56): But I do see value and I've detuned my judgment of spending money on things like (00:48:00): that because I haven't in a long, (00:48:01): long time. (00:48:02): But now I see that we've built this fantastic technology and I want more people coming into it. (00:48:08): that are aligned with it, because I think there's value in this, not just for us individually. (00:48:14): And I know this is my ego. (00:48:16): I believe there is value in this for more and more and more of humanity to practice this. (00:48:24): The stream would not say that more and more of humans need to practice this. (00:48:29): The stream will say, (00:48:30): as you become wiser versions of yourselves, (00:48:33): more and more people are going to do something along these lines. (00:48:36): Understand that appreciation of all things is really where it's at. (00:48:40): But everyone is on their own journey and not everybody's on that path and not (00:48:45): everybody is, (00:48:48): people need to find their own way to it. (00:48:50): Yeah. (00:48:51): So the stream would say, just do your thing. (00:48:55): And I've done that for years. (00:48:56): Just do your thing and the right people will find their way to it. (00:48:59): And I did that. (00:49:01): And now I'm changing my tune a little bit by saying, but my ego still wants to do more of this. (00:49:08): I don't want to just be organic because when I go do a TikTok, (00:49:12): I know how to get a lot of views on TikTok and it's to sort of play the victim (00:49:17): thing. (00:49:17): You know, oh, they're out to get you. (00:49:19): Everyone's out to get you. (00:49:20): That does very well on TikTok. (00:49:22): You know, (00:49:22): I've done a couple of videos that kind of frame that a little bit and that's what (00:49:26): gets the most views. (00:49:27): I don't want to do that. (00:49:28): You know, (00:49:28): I would rather put a video out that gets a handful of views of people who really (00:49:32): get it than it gets a million views. (00:49:35): So how is this going to really mesh and grow and expand unless we get more creative (00:49:43): with how we share it? (00:49:46): Not in a you have to do this way, (00:49:47): but I like bringing my human ego and my creative mind back into this and not just (00:49:53): saying, (00:49:53): hey, (00:49:53): man, (00:49:53): I'm just going to sit on a mountaintop and I'm going to channel source and people (00:49:57): that want to come to the mountaintop can listen and gather around. (00:50:00): There's plenty of people doing that. (00:50:01): I think that's fine. (00:50:02): I don't want to do that. (00:50:03): I want to. (00:50:04): I have creative abilities. (00:50:06): I have knowledge now of technology. (00:50:09): I have the funding to be able to to invest in this and put it out there and then (00:50:15): exchange that investment with people that want to come and pay for training that's (00:50:21): going to benefit them. (00:50:22): And that's what the exchange is. (00:50:24): And I'm very transparent about that. (00:50:27): And the system that we built is designed to be very clear that you invest when you (00:50:32): want to invest. (00:50:33): You go deeper when you want to go deeper. (00:50:35): No one's going to tell you you have to go away from our world because you're not (00:50:39): yet ready for any of those things. (00:50:41): But we're also creating a path where the academy level work for anybody that really (00:50:45): wants to do this will be inevitable. (00:50:47): But it will also be something that pays for itself many times over. (00:50:50): And we'll demonstrate that over and over and over again. (00:50:53): So that's my transparency about coaching and about why things cost money. (00:50:59): A lot of people think anything spiritual should never cost money. (00:51:03): If I do anything that's sponsored right now on Meta, (00:51:05): oh, (00:51:06): this is just a sales pitch for your thing. (00:51:09): Well, yeah, I'm sharing my thing with you. (00:51:11): If you want to get in and get involved, then that's why I'm paying for an ad. (00:51:15): Of course, what pays for the ads? (00:51:16): People that choose to take the bigger programs. (00:51:19): What do they get from the bigger programs? (00:51:20): We always ensure that we're delivering (00:51:23): many times the investment in terms of what you get back. (00:51:27): And I have a trust pilot that keeps us honest with that. (00:51:31): You know, (00:51:32): the sentiment I would kind of, (00:51:34): I guess, (00:51:35): wrap up along that about the money thing is when people do say that, (00:51:38): you know, (00:51:38): as you said, (00:51:39): like they judge the fact that you (00:51:41): Yeah, it should all be free. (00:51:42): I should manifest my money. (00:51:44): And I've done that for years. (00:51:45): I have lived years where I shared this and never took a dime from it. (00:51:48): So I've lived that. (00:51:49): I know I can do that. (00:51:51): But do I want to keep doing that or do I want to turbocharge it? (00:51:53): What were you going to say? (00:51:54): I apologize. (00:51:54): Well, (00:51:55): the quote comes from Wallace Wattles, (00:51:59): one of his books, (00:52:01): I think it was Science of Being Great or something like that. (00:52:07): If you take the analogy of a book, (00:52:09): i have a book and i sell it at the store for 20 how much money did it cost for the (00:52:15): paper and the ink it's like pennies and i've made a huge profit is that fair but if (00:52:21): the ideas give the reader the ability to make millions of dollars and they only (00:52:26): spend 20 dollars in the book is that fair what's the (00:52:30): actually it doesn't matter if the if you get a profit from something but it (00:52:34): benefits the reviewer the the the consumer if they take it and they better (00:52:39): themselves for it it's fine um if i coerce someone to buy my book that's not of any (00:52:45): value then maybe i have wronged them but if i make you know then but but this is (00:52:49): not i i've been nothing i don't i don't believe anything survives for years that is (00:52:55): just a i just want to take people's money (00:52:59): I know a lot of coaches and a lot of people that are functioning, (00:53:02): making millions of dollars coaching. (00:53:04): It's a very lucrative thing to do. (00:53:07): And there's a lot of people in it. (00:53:08): Most people don't get there. (00:53:10): And a lot of people that get there thinking, (00:53:12): I'm just doing this because I know I can make a lot of money doing it. (00:53:16): Those folks don't stick around very long because if you don't have what we call (00:53:20): social proof that your thing works, (00:53:23): people are going to be very concerned about investing money in it. (00:53:27): And they should be. (00:53:29): And the last thing I would ever want to do is take somebody's money knowing that (00:53:33): I'm not going to give them 10 times that value or more back. (00:53:39): When I was in retail, (00:53:40): there were absolutely people sitting around that boardroom with me in retail that (00:53:43): only cared about the bottom line. (00:53:46): And I told everyone that worked for me that everything is an exchange. (00:53:51): And once we take somebody's money, it's our job to make them happy. (00:53:57): Some people you're never going to make happy. (00:53:58): That's just the way it is. (00:53:59): That's a small percentage. (00:54:01): Most people, (00:54:01): if we've taken their money, (00:54:03): it is our job now to make them happy, (00:54:05): to deliver on the promise. (00:54:07): And if you don't deliver on the promise in today's world, you're out of business pretty quickly. (00:54:12): That's just the way it is. (00:54:14): And that includes the coaching industry. (00:54:16): The coaching industry is maturing now. (00:54:18): It blew up. (00:54:18): It started before COVID. (00:54:20): It absolutely blew up during COVID. (00:54:22): And now we've seen the fallout from it. (00:54:25): The people that survived, (00:54:27): that blew up during COVID, (00:54:29): that survived post-COVID, (00:54:31): those people are offering something of real value, (00:54:33): in my opinion. (00:54:35): in my opinion, (00:54:36): because we've proven that we can ride out the peak and then we can ride out the (00:54:42): pit, (00:54:43): which post-COVID, (00:54:44): nobody was doing coaching anymore because everybody did it during COVID. (00:54:48): If they had the money and a lot of people had extra money in their pocket and (00:54:51): they're bored and they're at home and what do I want to do? (00:54:53): I want to work on me. (00:54:54): Well, now I've got a few thousand dollars to invest in a program (00:54:59): If those programs were worthy, (00:55:01): then you were still in business after COVID, (00:55:04): after 2022, (00:55:06): 2023 and beyond. (00:55:07): That's my opinion as far as the industry goes. (00:55:09): We're way off topic from channeling now, but we brought the humanity back into it. (00:55:13): But don't think anybody that is putting anything out there, (00:55:16): whether they are doing paid advertising, (00:55:19): If they're spending their time doing it, there's an exchange going on of some sort. (00:55:24): Don't kid yourself that there's not. (00:55:25): They're getting something from it somehow or they simply wouldn't be doing it. (00:55:29): We do not live in a just goodness of your heart world because everyone has bills to pay. (00:55:34): And I don't know any billionaires that are out there teaching you how to be a billionaire. (00:55:37): They're out being bigger billionaires. (00:55:40): Yeah. (00:55:42): All right. (00:55:43): Well, this is a really good conversation as always. (00:55:45): We jumped all over the place, but hopefully we've provided some value for all of you listening. (00:55:49): Cool.
