WEBVTT 00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:01.797 Cold plunge thoughts. 00:00:06.237 --> 00:00:09.897 Water is 45, according to my little thermometer here. 00:00:10.657 --> 00:00:18.937 A year ago I took a picture that I'm going to post on my Instagram today, at Jethro Jones. 00:00:20.357 --> 00:00:26.617 And I weighed 263 pounds. For my weigh-in this week I was down to 193, 00:00:26.817 --> 00:00:28.517 so it's been down 70 pounds. 00:00:28.517 --> 00:00:31.497 Talked about the first 40 I lost with the 00:00:31.497 --> 00:00:34.557 MLM starvation cult but now I'm 00:00:34.557 --> 00:00:38.477 going to talk about what I've done since then which has been sustainable 00:00:38.477 --> 00:00:42.217 and incredibly empowering so 00:00:42.217 --> 00:00:47.997 I joined a group called superhuman fathers led by Kyle Carnahan and here's what 00:00:47.997 --> 00:00:54.857 happened I met Kyle at an event in April of this year and I told him that I 00:00:54.857 --> 00:00:58.617 was interested in starting a coaching thing for men. 00:00:59.037 --> 00:01:04.317 And he said, Jethro, why would anybody come to you for coaching? You're fat. 00:01:05.157 --> 00:01:08.037 I was like, dang, that's harsh. 00:01:08.597 --> 00:01:14.697 Now, mind you, I had already lost 40 pounds at this point. So I was feeling good. 00:01:15.417 --> 00:01:22.537 But that 40 pounds, like I said yesterday, I was still fat and I could feel it. I didn't like it. 00:01:22.957 --> 00:01:28.217 But the other thing that I noticed when Kyle said that I was fat and nobody would listen to me. 00:01:28.877 --> 00:01:33.817 The other thing I noticed was the spirit said to me, listen to this guy. 00:01:34.637 --> 00:01:39.057 He's telling you the truth. He's telling you like it is. You can learn something from him. 00:01:39.717 --> 00:01:44.897 You can learn a lot of things from him. And so we exchanged numbers and he sent 00:01:44.897 --> 00:01:47.117 me a message later and he said, hey, let's set up a call. 00:01:47.617 --> 00:01:51.117 Let's talk and let's see how I can help you. 00:01:51.677 --> 00:01:55.597 And I avoided doing it for about a week week because I knew, 00:01:55.737 --> 00:02:01.317 I just knew when I got on the phone with him, I was going to join his program, 00:02:01.877 --> 00:02:04.077 and I didn't have any money at the time. 00:02:04.817 --> 00:02:10.157 So sure enough, I got on the call a couple of days later and I was totally in. 00:02:10.797 --> 00:02:13.077 And there are two things that I think are really important. 00:02:14.137 --> 00:02:19.217 Number one, even though Kyle was super harsh with me, all I felt was love from 00:02:19.217 --> 00:02:20.677 him. I didn't feel judgment. 00:02:21.117 --> 00:02:26.137 When he said I was fat, he wasn't judging me. He was just stating an obvious 00:02:26.137 --> 00:02:27.797 truth. I was overweight. 00:02:28.597 --> 00:02:31.997 And he said something really interesting with that. 00:02:32.057 --> 00:02:40.657 He said that people need to see you and believe that you can give them what they want. 00:02:41.117 --> 00:02:45.337 And if they look at some fat guy who's trying to coach them to be better in 00:02:45.337 --> 00:02:48.397 their life, they're never going to trust that that he's actually going to do 00:02:48.397 --> 00:02:51.837 that when he can't even keep his weight in control. 00:02:53.044 --> 00:02:57.084 So the first thing was I felt love from Kyle. The second thing was that Kyle 00:02:57.084 --> 00:02:59.424 said, it's not even about your body. 00:02:59.924 --> 00:03:03.684 It's about everything else that comes with it. It's about the discipline. 00:03:03.944 --> 00:03:07.224 It's about who you become in the process. 00:03:08.644 --> 00:03:12.044 And that is really the amazing part. 00:03:12.984 --> 00:03:17.984 The way that I've grown, the way that I've improved in my business since joining 00:03:17.984 --> 00:03:23.764 Superhuman Fathers, The way that I've been a better husband and father since I've joined it. 00:03:24.464 --> 00:03:28.224 All of that, you just can't compare. 00:03:29.244 --> 00:03:34.084 It's been amazing. And I'm not even close to being done. 00:03:34.304 --> 00:03:38.924 That's the part that's really cool. This is a journey. 00:03:39.164 --> 00:03:44.384 And I finally feel like I've achieved something that is sustainable. 00:03:44.644 --> 00:03:49.524 That's not going to be a yo-yo type thing. It's not going to be a fad diet that 00:03:49.524 --> 00:03:59.104 I go through because I'm really changing who I am to be more in line with who God has made me to be. 00:03:59.524 --> 00:04:01.824 And I think that that's really powerful also. 00:04:02.484 --> 00:04:08.364 So the love I felt from Kyle and the recognition that this was a spiritual process 00:04:08.364 --> 00:04:13.084 and a spiritual growth, that's what has made this really powerful. 00:04:14.264 --> 00:04:20.224 So what does it look like though? Well, I eat according to macros, 00:04:20.224 --> 00:04:25.964 so I've got certain targets that I try to hit on my macros, fat, protein, and carbs. 00:04:26.024 --> 00:04:30.184 I didn't even know what macros were when I started, and they were like, 00:04:30.344 --> 00:04:32.784 you need to hit your macros. And I was like, what does that even mean? 00:04:33.264 --> 00:04:37.224 And now, every time I eat, I'm looking at what those things are. 00:04:38.064 --> 00:04:43.904 I've lost about 30 pounds doing this, so a little bit less than the MLM Starvation Cult. 00:04:43.904 --> 00:04:46.784 But man I mean you can see my shoulders here 00:04:46.784 --> 00:04:49.824 I am definitely getting more fit because 00:04:49.824 --> 00:04:55.424 I do workouts as well and that's been really good but the stuff that's really 00:04:55.424 --> 00:05:00.584 powerful is what you can't even see you can't even see it you can only feel 00:05:00.584 --> 00:05:04.924 it and you can only experience it that's the part that's really cool because 00:05:04.924 --> 00:05:09.564 those things are happening inside me not on the exterior let's go.
