LaVar Ball finally responds after Trump helps free his son from China. - Duration: 2:38.

LaVar Ball finally responds after Trump helps free his son from China.

LaVar Ball has finally responded after President Donald Trump took credit Wednesday for orchestrating

the release of Ball's son, UCLA freshman LiAngelo Ball, and two teammates from China.

"Who?"

the patriarch of the Ball family responded when ESPN asked him about Trump.

"What, was he over there for?"

Ball said.

"Don't tell me nothing.

Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out."

The "UCLA Three" had been detained in China since they were arrested Nov. 7 for

shoplifting from three different high-end stores, including sunglasses from Louis Vuitton.

Trump, who happened to be on a tour of Asia when the incident occurred, talked to Chinese

President Xi Jinping specifically about the matter.

"President Xi has been terrific on the subject," Trump said Tuesday.

"What they did was unfortunate.

You know, you're talking about very long prison sentences.

They do not play games."

On Wednesday, after the trio had been released, Trump tweeted about just how serious the situation

had been.

Still, LaVar Ball doesn't seem convinced of the president's role in freeing his son

or of just how dire the situation was for LiAngelo.

"As long as my boy's back here, I'm fine," he told ESPN.

"I'm happy with how things were handled.

A lot of people like to say a lot of things that they thought happened over there.

"Like I told him, 'They try to make a big deal out of nothing sometimes.'

I'm from LA.

I've seen a lot worse things happen than a guy taking some glasses."

The players, for their part, were willing to give Trump the thanks he not-so-subtly

hinted he was owed.

"We're young men, but it's not an excuse for making a really stupid decision," LiAngelo

Ball said in a Wednesday press conference.

"I'm extremely sorry for those I let down.

I'd also like to thank President Trump and the United States government for the help

they provided as well."

The other two players, Jalen Hill and Cody Riley, also thanked Trump during the press

conference.

"We really appreciate you [President Donald Trump for] helping us out," Riley said.

UCLA has suspended the players indefinitely, and officials are reportedly still deciding

how long the suspension should last for — possibly the entire season.

While punishments are still up in the air, there is one thing that is almost certain:

The war of words between LaVar Ball and Donald Trump is not over.

TackLife Random Orbit Sander Review - Duration: 13:30.

Hi everybody! I'm Mike McCrory and this is Wood U Make It.

I was contacted by a company called TackLife and they asked me to review one of their tools.

This is a random orbit sander. I've never heard of the company before so I thought

why not give it a try? So what I'm gonna do is open it up and then compare it

with a couple of other sanders that i have just to make of an honest comparison.

So let's get started...

[theme music playing]

So I'll just open up the box.

It's just the sander.

It doesn't come with a case like my Ridgid sander does.

It comes with some sanding pads. It looks like there are six that are 180 grit and six that are 80 grit.

So, that's good I can use these sanding pads on my existing Ridgid sander

and I can use the sanding pads that I already have on this new TackLife.

So, they're interchangeable which is good.

I've plugged the sander in and we'll start it up.

The button's on the front which I kind of like compared to my

Ridgid sander which has the buttons on the side and I tend to accidentally push

the button and turn it off while I'm in the middle of sanding.

It comes on pretty quickly and it takes about three seconds to stop.

I'll do that again just to see it start.

1-2-3 and it stopped.

I'll compare that with my Ridgid and this sander is about 10 years old.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10

[counting quickly 11 through 22]

23-24-25

and it still not stopped so it takes a long time for this sander to stop which

is one of the things that I don't like about this one

So that's a that's an improvement with the TackLife.

Now I've got another Ridgid sander which is pretty new.

A friend of mine bought this from Home Depot just a couple of months ago

and I recommended that he buy the Ridgid because it's low cost

and I've had a really good experience with this one.

So let's try this one. I'll try to press the start button now

1-2-3... Three and a half seconds to stop versus the TackLife.

So, this one you can see it's got a very gentle start when I push the button.

It's got a very gentle ramp up time which which could be good.

Now, what I thought I would do is do a sound test just to see how loud these things are.

It looks like the ambient noise is around 30 decibels.

The TackLife Sander went up to 79 decibels.

Now I'll try my old Ridgid sander

78-79 decibels so about the same sound level.

The new Ridgid...

just a little bit louder.

Now let's compare dust collection

The TackLife has this plastic compartment at the back and you just lift it up at the back and

then you can dump it out or you can pull this unit off completely and you can

attach a vacuum hose. Now, the downside, for me at least, for this one is that it

only has a 1 1/4" dust port. I do have an older shop vac that

that will fit that but it's not the one that I regularly use in my shop.

For the Ridgid 2600 which is the older Ridgid the dust port unscrews off the back and

you can dump out the the dust that's inside in a waste bin or you can attach

a vacuum hose -- a 2 1/4" vacuum hose -- inside and suck out the contents.

For the optional vacuum hose instead of using a dust bag

it has two options -- two different sizes: 1 1/4" or 2 1/4".

The 2 1/4" is what I use because it's just the standard that I use in my shop.

The Ridgid 2601, which is the newer Ridgid, twists and opens.

Again, similar to the other Ridgid, you just dump out the dust or you can suck it out with a vacuum hose.

And similarly, it has two options for the dust hose: a smaller one and the larger one.

One nice thing about this newer Ridgid is that it has a spring mechanism

inside the bag to keep it open but it does compress and so one good thing

about that is when you're sanding and if you're rubbing against the wood at the

bottom then it will have less of a tendency to wear away the bag because

there's less friction because this moves.

That's different from my older Ridgid

which has a plastic compartment here so it's fairly rigid (ha-ha!) and when I'm rubbing

against the wood it does have a tendency to wear away the fabric on the bag.

So that's why I ended up using this sail repair tape for a sailboat

because there was a hole that wore away in the fabric and the dust was just escaping.

So, I put this porous tape around it and that will give me a few more years of life.

Now, the Ridgid and and the TackLife sanders have these fairly hard compartments.

This is immovable.

This one moves just a little bit but but not very much.

So, really, the minimum width or the minimum space that I can get this in is 10 inches.

The nice thing about this newer Ridgid is the fact that this is flexible so,

in addition to not wearing away the fabric so much,

I can also compress this and get into a smaller workspace so I only need about 8 inches

and sometimes you are a space constrained when you're trying to sand a piece of work,

so that's one benefit of the Ridgid.

So let's talk about cords.

The cord on the TackLife sander is 6 feet long roughly, which is a little bit short, in my opinion.

The cord on my older Ridgid sander is one of the best features of

that sander I think, and a lot of the other older Ridgid tools are the same.

It comes with a 12 foot cord and the plug at the end of the cord lights up so

you can tell when it's plugged in, which I think is really nice.

They seem to have done away with that. The cord on this newer Ridgid sander is

only 7 or 8 feet long approximately and it doesn't have the light on the end.

Now we'll talk about the sanding backer pad.

Each of these newer sanders uses a standard 5" backer pad.

This is one. I like to always have one on hand

that I bought from Amazon and I like to have one on hand because they do wear out eventually.

I tend to go through them about once every couple of years

and you'll know when you need to replace it because the sandpaper won't stick very well anymore.

This one it sticks very well.

This one on the older sander -- you probably can't tell that on the camera --

but when I pull it, it doesn't take a lot of effort to pull it off and

you can see that it's getting dirty and gummed up.

So I'll probably replace it in about 6 months from now with with this one and then I'll order a couple more

to have them on hand.

Alright so let's let's weigh these sanders individually.

The only reason I have this fancy scale is because I got a toolbox

from a company that was closing down a location and they gave it to me for free,

but it was filled with tools and I had no idea that it was going to have something like this inside.

So that's great! The TackLife is 3.13 pounds.

The old Ridgid sander is 3.32 pounds so a little bit heavier.

Weight does make a difference especially when you're holding it vertically or overhead.

The newer Ridgid is 3.55 pounds so it's

surprising that the newer Ridgid is heavier than the older one.

Now let's take a look at the packaging. For some people that doesn't matter because they keep their

tool in their workshop all the time. I sometimes would like to carry it to a

job site so it's nice to be able to have something to put the sander in.

TackLife comes up probably in the bottom place they've just got this, what I would consider

to be a throwaway box with the sander inside.

The Ridgid is my favorite. It comes with this plastic case which is pretty robust and it has room to

hold the sander as well as some additional sanding pads

so that's definitely the most jobsite-friendly.

Next is the newer Ridgid and it looks like they've taken a step down and probably just a cost-saving measure.

It's okay It's a more of a fabric bag with a sander inside.

One nice thing about this though is that it's much smaller.

It takes a fair amount of space in my cabinet to hold this box so, in that regard,

it's nice to have this much smaller Ridgid carrying bag which really does the job.

So, is it a step backward? Maybe not. maybe it feels like it's lower quality but not really.

So, let's talk about warranty You really cannot beat the Ridgid

warranty. They have a lifetime warranty apart from normal wear and tear. They

will replace it provided you have registered the product.

The TackLife is not quite as good. They've got a 6-month warranty

and then they say that if you register on their website they'll give you an

additional 90 days so you can get a nine month warranty basically. But, for a

product that's only in the 40 to $60 range, to me, the warranty is not nearly

as important as it would be for something that's two or three hundred dollars.

So, let's summarize. The TackLife, I think, when it comes to dust collection,

it probably is a better and more robust solution -- this plastic compartment

although if you're working in confined spaces you may be better off with the

Ridgid 2601 just because you can gain a couple of inches by compressing the dust bag.

For start-up, the TackLife does not have a slow startup so that may be a

limiting factor for some people, depending on the type of work you're doing.

It doesn't really affect me that much because I usually start with a

sander off the workpiece and then I'll set it down. So I think the Ridgid 2601 would win for start-up.

For stopping, both the TackLife and the Ridgid 2601 have a braking mechanism so they stop

in about 3 seconds, so it's probably a tie between the two for those.

The older Ridgid 2600 does not have any kind of a brake so it takes 25 or 30 seconds for this thing to stop

which is a really long time.

For torque they're all about the same.

For noise level the TackLife is a little bit quieter -- not significantly but a little bit quieter.

For the on/off buttons, I like the fact that they're at the front of the TackLife.

I just have this tendency when I'm using the Ridgid

when the buttons are at the side exactly where my thumb and

an index finger are positioned that I'll have a tendency to accidentally turn it

off while I'm sanding because I'm pushing with my thumb.

I like the fact that they all have a standard 5 inch standard sanding backer pad and all

three used the same pad with the four screws.

So that's good. I can have a single replacement on standby that can be used for any of the sanders.

So, real test will be when I go to use this in a project.

For my next project I'm going to be building a cremation urn and there will be a bit of sanding in that.

I'll use the TackLife sander just to give it a full test because it's brand

new to me and I want to see how it performs.

So stay tuned for that.

Jewelry Making Tutorial - Micro Mosaic for Beginners - Duration: 4:49.

Toni Craft here! I have Adam with me from MosaicArtSupply.com and we are

going to talk today about micro mosaics. So micro mosaics are just like regular

mosaics except instead of using a full tile, or you know, half tile, that kind of

thing, you cut them down into little teeny tiny pieces and make a little

teeny tiny mosaic! So we thought it would be a good idea to apply this as a

jewelry technique. So I found some jewelry findings that had deep bezels

and we sat down and basically cut up a bunch of pieces of glass. It's cold glass

so you don't have to use any heat. And you use one of these bad boys, which is a

glass cutter, also known as a glass nipper. Yeah, sometimes it's called a glass snipper.

And it's pretty easy, it doesn't use a ton of force. It's a little bit heavy.

But basically you just take a shard of glass... so we have here of a

pretty large shard, I guess. And you basically just put it in there and press

down and it'll kind of crack it. And then you can use those little pieces to fill

in a bezel-ed item such as this! So we did it two different ways.

Adam did a sakura cherry blossom motif.

And I did mind more abstract. Sort of an art bracelet - art jewelry.

And it was fun! So basically we're just gonna show you a

video of us working, and you'll see how easy and fun this is! So yeah! Micro Mosaics!

I definitely will do this again. I think it was cool. Yeah!

To get started with micro mosaics you will need glass nippers, glass,

a PVA white glue, eye protection, tweezers, and whatever you plan on putting the mosaic on .

We are using deep bezel jewelry findings.

The first step is to choose the glass pieces that you plan on using.

Your requirements may vary from color to texture and even opacity.

Glass cutters make easy work of cutting glass. You simply line up your glass

pieces between the two blades and apply pressure to the handle.

Cutting micro sized pieces does take a bit of patience.

Once you have your first pile of cut-glass you can do a test fit before

using glue to make sure that your idea matches the reality of the piece that

you're gluing on to. Once you are ready, you can coat your object with white PVA glue

and begin placing the glass pieces onto the glue with your tweezers.

It's also helpful to have a small blob of glue nearby to dip your pieces of glass into.

Once your main pieces are in, you may find tiny spaces that need to be filled

in with even smaller shards of glass.

Finishing micro mosaic is a little trickier than larger sized mosaic.

Traditional grout won't work because the grains of sand will be too large to fit

between the tiny spaces. You can however use clear or colored resin.

All right, well, thanks for watching! And we hope you learned something about micro mosaics today!

And if you need any mosaic supplies you can go to MosaicArtSupply.com

and you'll definitely see some more mosaics on my show

we're gonna do an intro video soon and maybe some other things.

Because I think it was it was worthwhile! It's fun and the glass is beautiful.

it's fun to play with...and yeah we will definitely do more!

Thank you for watching and have a nice week! Good luck on your projects!

Jim Sheils on How Financial Advisors Run a Successful Business w/o Sacrificing Family Board Meetings - Duration: 1:09:46.

Welcome to this episode of the Elite Advisor Blueprint Podcast with your host, Brad Johnson.

Brad's the VP of Advisor Development and Advisors Excel, the largest independent insurance brokerage

company in the US.

He's also a regular contributor to Investment News, the Wall Street Journal, and other industry

publications.

Brad: Welcome to the Elite Advisor Blueprint, the podcast for world-class financial advisors.

My name is Brad Johnson and I'm the VP of Advisor Development and Advisors Excel, and

it's my goal to distill the best ideas and advice from top thought leaders and apply

it to the world of independent financial advising.

Brad: Welcome to this episode of the Elite Advisor Blueprint Podcast.

I'm incredibly excited.

I've got my buddy, Jim Sheils, here with us today.

Welcome to the show, Jim.

Jim: Hey, Brad.

Good to see you again.

Thanks for having me.

Brad: This conversation is long overdue.

I think we've known each other for a couple of years now, met originally at, of all places,

a dad's retreat which I think most people in business don't even know these things

exist.

Our mutual friend, Jon Vroman, he was out there looking for, you know, there's all

these business conferences, how can I become a better marketer, how can I become a better

speaker and he was out there and he said, "How can I become a better dad?" and looking

all over the place and there was nothing.

So, he just decided to create his own dad's retreat of which you were one of the featured

speakers the first time.

So, I'm excited about today because we're going to go way off track from what a normal

podcast than the Elite Advisor Blueprint Podcast is for me but in my opinion, this might be

the most impactful conversation I've ever had on the show.

So, I'm excited to have you, Jim.

Jim: Yeah.

Good to be here.

Good to get to talk to you at a new format.

Usually, it's at your table with a glass of wine.

Brad: Which, hey, we need to have some more of those too.

So, as we dig in here, I'm going to just, for those following along on video, how Jim

and I originally connected.

He has a concept called the Family Board Meeting and for those looking at the video, this is

about the skinniest book I think you'll ever read but it's the most impact per page I think

I've ever seen in a book.

And in fact, I've gifted this book more to friends, clients than any other book I've

ever come across.

So, what I want to do is I'm going to turn the mic over to you, Jim.

I know I'm giving you a big buildup here, but I'd like to dig into just right here

at the get-go, so we can hit it and everybody can kind of - and then we'll see where the

conversation goes.

What is the Family Board Meeting?

How did the Family Board Meeting come to be?

Can you just give us kind of the overview of the whole thought process behind it?

Jim: Yeah.

The Board Meeting Strategy, and again, The Family Board Meeting is the company I founded

for helping entrepreneurs succeed in homes and connect deeper with their kids, not lose

their status at home, their connection at home.

And I started working with entrepreneur families before I even had my own family.

I have a family of four now, but I actually started working with entrepreneur families

almost I think because I've started a young age into entrepreneurship.

So, when I spoke at events, people would come to me as like the young fun uncle because

I was in between the age of their children and the age of the parent.

And so, somehow, I just fell in the backwards of working and starting to do retreats with

entrepreneurial families.

And as you know, you've met my family now, my own family came along.

And I needed to connect with my sons.

Again, I have two biological and two adopted sons.

My two older sons are adopted.

When you come in someone's life at the age of seven and five, it's a pretty odd circumstance.

It's like asking a girl to dance for the first time at the seventh-grade dance.

We all remember that.

Awkward, you're not sure, you want to make it work but you're a little uncomfortable.

And the Board Meeting Strategy was just a simple rhythm and I have been taught by some

mentors to develop rhythms.

If you can rhythmize, you can be successful in your relationships.

So, I just created this rhythm that was based around the premise that I should be able to,

as an entrepreneur and as now I have my own real estate investment company, I should be

able to treat my family members, especially my children, with the same attention and respect

that I give my key clients, my biggest clients, make key team members and biggest investors

in my business.

And so, the Board Meeting Strategy, which originally came from a group of surfers making

a promise to treat their children with this promise, was to develop a rhythm that kept

me grounded with them and in sync with them.

And that's how the Board Meeting Strategy came about.

It's a simple rhythm that can be followed throughout the year that doesn't overwhelm

but keeps you grounded and helps keep deepening the connection.

Jim: And you see, you've used it for a few years now.

The principles are sound, they've been tested, and I never would've thought that – I

didn't even want to write the book.

My friend, the Strategic Coach, Shannon Waller, pushed me to say, "This is too important.

You need to write it."

And thankfully I did because I would never have met guys like you.

But I never thought that the difference that made for me and my sons and now my other daughters

and sons, my all four kids now, I never thought it would make such a difference in other families.

So, you just never know where things are going to turn.

But I guess it's gone semi-viral and it's making a difference which is what it was all

about.

So, I'm humbled and just so grateful for that.

Brad: Well, and it continues to go viral by the way.

So, just yesterday got back from Pete Vargas' event out in Colorado Springs, I'm sitting

at the dinner table.

Hal Elrod, author of the Miracle Morning, sitting across from me and Nick Silver who

I know you know as well and a topic of conversation over dinner was the family board meetings.

Jim: Really?

Brad: Yes, absolutely, and Hal was talking about how big of an impact it made for him

and even this last dad's retreat which you were out of Jon's, but it was a topic of

conversation there and I think some guys have kind of have been doing half family board

meetings and that was kind of the topic of conversation is let's make sure we do it

by the book.

So, while we're here at the front of the conversation, can you just give us the three

simple steps just as an overview, so everybody can get an understanding of exactly what a

family board meeting is?

Jim: Yes.

Absolutely.

And one of my biggest goals, Brad, and I know you and I've had hours of conversations,

I really want to do something that would stick.

I want to do something that was so easy that I could talk to you about it and you could

test it out and then you could share it, just a simple framework, and that's what the

board meeting strategy is.

Family board meeting is so easy to put into practice and I had to make it simple.

I'm an entrepreneur with ADD.

I mean, my follow-up skills are semi-par at certain levels.

That's why I have help in certain areas, right?

Brad: You're on a good podcast, Jim.

I think all of the listeners and myself also have it.

Jim: Yes.

So, all of my Kolbe people are out there, they're like, "Oh yeah.

Okay.

You have a quick startup in the eights and nines.

Yeah.

That's me."

So, I want to stay grounded.

I didn't want to get to October of every year or November and turnaround and go, "Geez,

I feel like I might have done some business stuff, but I feel disconnected at home."

So, the Board Meeting Strategy was set to principles that were already in my head as

an entrepreneur and I just set into action and they've worked.

And so, it works like this.

Just like in the old days and still with a lot of companies, Advisors Excel groups that

have the entrepreneurial spirits though, you have a quarterly board meeting.

And a quarterly board meeting for good companies had a purpose and that was to reunite the

team and look ahead to the next 90 days, reflect on the last 90, reunite the team and look

ahead to the next 90.

It's a very good principle.

I'm not talking about the old boring, IBM stuff suits board meetings where people are

like, "Oh man, crunching numbers on those long spreadsheets."

That's not what I'm talking about.

I'm looking at more exact principles, bringing people together, reuniting the team and looking

ahead.

I said, "Why can't I do that with each one of my children?"

So, what I do and what I've done now for six years, haven't missed one is I hold a board

meeting with each one of my children every quarter, a quarterly board meeting.

And so, that's every 90 days I have a board meeting and there are only three principles.

Besides this, it has to be a minimum of four hours uninterrupted and I could go into the

science of that of decompression and connection but every quarter at least four hours I have

a board meeting with my children and there are only three steps to it, only three.

First one is one-on-one, the second one is without electronics, and the third one is

called fun activity with focused reflection.

And we'll get into that.

That might sound a little confusing but all that is is the shortest definition in the

world for experiential education.

And experiential education, I'm kind of an alternative education nutcase because I

really get into the how's the best ways we can educate our children, to build relationships,

and experiential education is just off the charts with success.

Jim: So, I just used it with my children and I'll explain exactly how a fun activity

of focused reflection works.

But when you put those three things together and get into the simple rhythm of once a quarter,

every 90 days for at least four hours uninterrupted, one-on-one, without electronics, a fun activity

of your child's choice, not your choice and with focused reflection, these become

absolute pillars in a relationship, absolute.

In fact, I'll show you this.

The Power of Moments was just at a cadre event that I was just at and these guys were a lot

smarter than me, Brad, Ivy League guys who have designed how do we have memories that

stick with our family with things.

And basically, without me knowing so I'm not that scientific, we've plugged into

these exact science is that once they go together, we set pillars in the relationships, they

deepen the relationships, they take away barriers from your children, they help set up things

for when you want your kids to come to you for advice instead of their friends or the

internet, this simple strategy is, again, one of those just stakes in the ground that

hold steadfast in the relationship and I watch it build year-after-year.

And I never thought it would make such a difference.

You're saying, "Oh is 90 days enough?"

It makes the time in between each board meeting more special, more connected, builds the family.

You got to separate the parts to strengthen the whole, and we'll go into each step but

that's pretty much how it works.

You can put it at the back of a napkin of how this strategy works and it can be used

over and over and over.

Brad: And it is an absolute game changer.

Doing them personally with my two oldest boys who are seven and six now the last two years.

What's interesting from at least for our family dynamic and I think most families,

the older child's kind of the dominant one.

They're older.

They kind of tend to take over conversations.

I find the one-on-one with my second oldest, Nash, it just allows his personality to come

out because he does not have that older sibling that's kind of always looking over his shoulder

telling him what to do.

But before we go into kind of the power of the actual board meetings because we can spend

a long conversation on that, I want to back up because quite honestly, I was like, "Should

I have Jim come on the podcast?"

For those out there, financial advisors listening in to this, this is not a marketing conversation.

This is not a, you know, what's your appointment process or how to scale your business but

in my opinion, I was like especially after you came in and talk to our company, Jim,

the emails I'm getting from people thanking me and the impact to your short little hour

conversation had on families and the compound effect that's going to have over time, I'm

like, "I absolutely have to have Jim on," and this might be the most important conversation

that I ever have on in this podcast because I've seen it the last decade or so, high

performers, A-type personalities, in business you tend to go all in and it's consuming.

Jim: Yeah.

Brad: And so, I want to spend a little bit of time because to me success is not the money

in the bank account if your kids, you don't have a relationship with them, you don't

have a relationship with your wife.

So, let's go back because I've heard you a couple of times some entrepreneurs where

this was kind of like a massive wakeup call to them where they had an ultra-successful

business but then when they went back home, they really didn't have that relationship

established with their kids and with their family and how the board meetings impact to

that.

Could you share a story or two around that?

Jim: Yeah.

And it comes from feedback of the strategy for the last five years.

And also, as you know, I run private retreats for entrepreneurs and their kids and I had

some mentors go through it who are business mentors and probably I can say I became a

family mentor to them.

So, we're able to leverage off each other.

But what I found is the way that we're wired as entrepreneurs and I've worked with a

lot of financial advisors, we have the best intentions.

We have gusto.

We have get up and go.

But what can happen is with the best intentions, because most of us got into the career, we

got into to create a certain amount of wealth, to create space and to create certain freedoms.

And we say, "What do we want to do with those freedoms?"

We want to spend time with our family, pursue our own passions, get into causes that we

care about.

All these things are super important, but we can get so focused on running up on the

entrepreneurial mountain.

What I saw happen, to put in the most simplest stories, we start to run so hard, so fast

and so dedicated up the entrepreneurial mountain, that and it's with the best intention that

we finally stop and really with moments of clarity look around and the people we're

closest to or supposed to be closest to are not there anymore or even worse, they're still

there but if we're really honest, we're pretty much a stranger to them.

We put ourselves in a position where, in honor of the business, we've actually delegated

ourselves out of family life.

And the power and the art of delegation is phenomenal for growing a business.

It can absolutely be a curse if we bring in at home too much.

Because what I've had to explain to a lot of very successful and I'm talking guys

worth hundreds of millions, if we completely delegate ourselves out of family life, we

can lose that connection that we all really vie for deep down.

When we stop to really think about it, that's what we want.

We want a deep and more meaningful relationship.

We want our kids to be able to turn to us for help, for advice, for fun.

We don't want to be looked at as a simple bank source, parole officer or shift manager.

Jim: None of us want that and that's the role that we get stuck into.

So, what I found is I am the last person, Brad, to take away ambition.

You and I have lots of talks about building businesses, investments.

But what I've found is I want to save myself from myself and what I found is if I set really

powerful grounding without-a-doubt no exception rhythms in my life, that it's saving from

myself, it doesn't take away ambition.

It helps fuel more ambition because I'm feeling such success where it really counts

and it's a huge recharge and it's the reminder of balance.

So, I didn't have to think about it.

So, for people like us that are wired a certain way, rhythmizing your life do not take away

freedom.

They actually create more freedom, more meaning and that's what we want.

From the success, no one wants to just build a huge business and have no one around them.

It would be a very rare case but at the same time, I understand how we're wired.

I'm saying let's work with how we're wired.

Let's put some concrete rhythms in place that as you run up that mountain, your family

is coming with you.

The time that you spend is not just passing by time as I talk about in the book.

It's true quality time and there are principles to quality time.

In an hour or two of quality time, it does way more than 15, 20 hours of passing by time,

if that makes sense.

You know what I'm talking about now because we've had this conversation.

Brad: Let's go to I've heard you share kind of the entrepreneurial mindset.

It's almost like you're, I want to say this the right way, you're giving yourself

an excuse because you're like, "Hey, I'm dedicating my time in the business so that

I can have the cash flow or the money so that my family can take these fun trips or have

nice stuff or all of that."

Can you share maybe, and obviously no stories that give away personal identity here, but

maybe sometimes where you've seen like somebody that was using that crutch or that excuse

from an entrepreneurial standpoint where the light bulb went off and then they made changes,

put some stakes in the ground and the impact that created with their family?

Do you have some of those maybe to pull from?

Jim: Yeah.

I mean, and I have a theme of them which is probably the most powerful.

And one thing I have to start with is we all think that as we build the business, our kids

will understand that they all have our perception, that they'll have our 20,000-foot view of

what we're trying to do.

I'm just learning, "No, right now they don't.

They won't understand."

And kind of a relief for me from the more and more I've worked two, three days at

a time with families, you hear it finally come out.

The theme that really comes out, Brad, the most is, "I don't want all this stuff

that you just talked about.

I want you.

I want your attention.

I want to be able to talk about you.

I want to be able to know about the things that interest you outside of work," and

that was a huge aha for me with my sons.

So, as I build, I have to also remember what's really important.

Before you figure out what's next, we figure out what's important.

And what's important to them is the things that I can give them from the things we're

talking about today.

And to give the strong example in the theme because I've seen it a few times, unfortunately,

but the people that have responded in the right way, they've actually had huge turnarounds

and that's with one of the biggest fears of any parent that I know is addiction.

Addiction is a terrible thing.

I've had some alcoholism and addiction in my family.

It's a very painful thing.

We all have that concern for our children.

And I learned that in events, it was actually a female entrepreneur, very successful now

but went through the trenches with her own addictions and she said, "The opposite of

addiction is connection."

And that stuck with me forever, Brad.

The opposite of addiction is connection.

So, one of the best ways that we can be on the offense and defense of addiction for our

children and let them live a fulfilled life avoiding pain like that is connection, true

meaningful relationships with them.

And I actually got to sit with some rooms where I was invited to support some different

families with children and parents who all their children were addicts, teens, young

adult addicts.

Jim: And as we started to pull out the stories, as we started to pull out the "what happened"

question, there was a common theme.

And especially in one instance I was in a room and every single person there had a successful

business, every single person, but the theme was they had sacrificed quality time to build

the business.

And whether it was direct to that or the child didn't have the supervision or they have

an endless bank account which is also something that I've seen great danger in and not showing

giving financial responsibility to our children, a lot of us are first generation wealthy and

we want to give.

But if that lack of connection, lack of supervision and an endless ATM card really cause some

problems and the block, Brad, was a lot of the men and women were saying, "Well, look,

by building this business I'm able to pay for this best rehab that we're at here in

the world to be able to get my kid help for the addiction."

And so, you sit back and you go, "Oh man, which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

And it's just such a powerful example.

And when we started to unravel and said, "Look, there has to be a balance here," the opposite

of addiction is connection and there is no substitute for quality time.

What are they really vying for?

The people that I know that went home and started to lessen the delegation, delegate

themselves back into family life, have committed rhythms, did unbelievable things for their

kids.

Now I'm not saying it's the cure for all addictions.

That's a very serious and big problem but I'm telling you right now, it is absolutely

a huge proven offensive move to help people in that situation.

And there's been definitely a few that a simple thing of slowing down and spending

quality time not only reignited their relationship, help remove that pain and suffering but also

their business did great.

Jim: And that's the thing that's amazing is everyone thinks, "No, no, no, if I take

my foot off the gas, I got to be going 90 miles an hour in this 25-zone or we're in

trouble."

Actually, it's the opposite.

With having that kind of meaning and fulfillment at home, usually, they're making better decisions

at work.

So, the addiction thing has been huge.

Bringing quality time back to successful business people at home, game changer.

Absolute game changer.

Brad: So, let's speak to quality time because I think there are different definitions of

that.

And I remember you sharing a story, I think it was one of your retreats actually, one

of your recent ones and it was around cellphones and actually you didn't ask the parents.

You asked the kids.

So, can you share kind of that?

And I think that'll segue into what makes quality time, and how you define that?

Jim: Sure.

When I started doing these retreats and created the Board Meeting Strategy I started to interview

just scores and scores of entrepreneur families.

People were very generous with their time.

They're with something that they really care about and we start to see a pattern.

And the pattern that you see is we as entrepreneurs might be saying something but not eating our

own cooking.

Now the easiest one I can talk about which is principle number two, without electronics,

is definitely the electronics.

So, I was in Utah in June and did a retreat with about 30 entrepreneur families and Dr.

Shefali, she's been on Oprah, wrote a book called Conscious Parenting, really good principles.

Cool lady.

We had a great time with her and she separated – we were playing this fun game and the

kids were ranging from again 8 to 24.

So, there was a big range there.

We're all having a good time and laughing, beautiful mountaintop spot and she said, "Okay.

Let's separate two sides."

And she asked the question about electronics and she said, "How many of your parents

give you a hard time for being on your phone all the time for doing the little thumbsies?"

And almost every kid raised their hand.

I think every kid did raise their hand.

And she said, "Well, let me ask you.

How many of you think your parents are hypocrites then?"

And a couple of the younger kids didn't know what hypocrites meant.

They said, "What's a hypocrite?"

And she explained what a hypocrite is.

Almost every arm went up.

And what I found is so many times the electronics you had a disconnect and reconnect.

We're not eating our own cooking.

And one thing I'll say, and this is out of humility, believe me, because this was

not the case.

This was absolutely not the case.

Only three kids did not raise their hands.

There was one young girl and my two sons.

And Dr. Shefali went and really drilled my sons and said, "Hold on, your dad's running

the event," and she's a pisser.

She's funny.

Jim: And she's like, "Don't give me that.

So, he's not on his phone doing that?" and they're both like, and believe me, if my

boys joke, they could throw me under the bus, they would.

They're 11 and 13 and they just said, "No, he's not like that."

And that meant the world to me and this comes from someone who didn't have it under control,

Brad, who would take that text real quick, he would take that email at the table that

when they're trying to talk to us and it really is there a block in having a connection

in true quality time.

You can't have it.

So, that's one of the principle things that I found that quality time, there are certain

additives that have to be set.

A certain environment has to be set for true quality time.

Rushing here and there and having been on the phone and the radio going and driving

your kid from this place to that, that's passing time.

That's not quality time and quality time is the meat and potatoes.

That kind of time is the garnish and we want more meat and potatoes.

Brad: I almost find it – it's like an awakening.

Honestly to me, that's something I struggle with, I really do, and we've talked at the

dad's retreat.

In fact, one of the guys out there shared.

This is a fun little tip for some parents out there, if you struggle that much with

kind of turning the business off, the emails, the text, the late-night phone calls, he actually,

I'm trying to think who it was.

Jim: Sean.

Yeah.

Sean.

Brad: Sean out of the event actually went and bought one of those little gun safes,

those handgun safes and when he gets home for dinner, he will actually take that, actually

he'll give it to one of his children.

They'll take it, they'll lock it up in the gun safe and it's gone until they're in bed

that night.

Jim: Yeah.

Brad: And so, that's something I've actually done because out of sight, out of mind and

just going back to the board meetings and doing those the last two years, you realize

how bad it is when you literally are like, okay, four hours unconnected and you start

to get this urge.

Jim: You get these shakes.

Brad: Yeah.

It's crazy how addictive cellphones are.

And what it's made me realize, number one, when you don't have them, your relationship

with your child exponentially, I mean, you're 1,000% more present.

But number two, now I start to become an observer.

I go to restaurants and I start to see people at family dinners and they're not at family

dinners.

Jim: No.

They're just glazed over.

Brad: They're literally, you've got a table full of people in their own little world.

They might as well not even be eating together.

And this is something I think as society progresses we weren't ready for this and it's something

now that you know it's there, you have to actually constantly guard against it or it

naturally happens without you even trying.

And so, have you had some of those types of experiences with some of the stories that

you've seen where it's just like, "Oh wow, this is what quality time actually is and

here's what came out of it once I actually realized what interacting with my child looks

like?"

Jim: Yeah.

Well, to take the first two principles, one-on-one time and without electronics, it is so rare.

So rare, Brad, and people go, "Oh my gosh, I never thought about that to have those two

combos."

One-on-one time when you have a busy family of a couple of people and then you say, "Why

don't we get together for the holidays?"

And that's great.

I love big holiday get-togethers but it's crazy.

It's pandemonium.

People are running around.

And although I consider that quality time because you're bringing the whole family

together, one-on-one time, game changer.

It is literally, that is the deepening tool of all deepening tools.

You look at any professional team, they separate out.

I remember I used to go, and I talk about it in the book, I used to watch the Giants

play in my hometown where I grew up in New Jersey.

They'd separate.

The quarterback's out.

The wide receiver is out.

You know this, being an ex-football player, the line out and you'd have separate practice

and then you'd bring the team back together and you'd play better as a team.

Family works the same way.

You got to separate the part to strengthen the whole and one-on-one time puts the magnifying

glass on a relationship in a positive way.

And here about couples' retreats, well, you're not going to bring your kids even

though you love them on a couple's retreat.

That's not what they're there for.

This is about you and you wife or you and your husband reconnecting.

Not that you don't love them, but they're not invited to that.

I found the same thing was important with one-on-one time like you talked about your

two sons.

When you're one-on-one, it takes away that sibling rivalry which I don't care what

family you have.

It does exist.

It's almost primal.

It takes away distraction.

If you're the busy entrepreneur and your husband or wife stays at home, your kids might

lean more into that relationship.

If your spouse is in there, that's a good thing because they can't do that.

They can't stay separated.

It's just you guys.

Now there is no best friend on, "I love my kids' friends.

We always bring along," but on a board meeting, you're not coming.

You're not invited.

I need that one-on-one time.

How many teenage kids want to talk about puberty in front of their little brother?

Like, "Oh my gosh, I'd cut my arms off before I do that."

And you're saying, "Well, all my kids don't talk to me."

Jim: One-on-one time helps set the stage and then without electronics.

I mean, getting one-on-one and without electronics like you said, "These dinners you see, Brad,

and people just were all like this," it serves a purpose to a point, but it's been

overused.

Like you said, I don't think we're ready for the stimulation.

And it is almost like a new frontier where you say, "Okay.

I'm going to turn off my phone and you turn off your phone," if you have a teen and

you're allowing them to have electronics or some younger I guess.

It's a whole new thing like, "Okay.

What crutch do we lean on now?"

Well, all that's left is true connection.

It's really a stripping away of the distractions and nothing I think, and this reports back

and letters back, takes away wars from a board meeting.

If you try to break that rule and you keep that phone on, you take that one text, that

one email, you've totally lost them.

You've proven that that is more important than the relationships in front of you and

it just kills them.

But for otherwise, they can see that if they had possibly been taking that one call, if

they've been taking that one text, during this potential time where your child might

be trying to open up, it would've been totally lost.

But the fact that there was not that distraction, it's led down the road that they're like,

"I can't believe my son or my daughter opened up or started talking about this or

asking me about this," and that absence of electronics has been really, really important.

I can track it back to see that it's so key not to have for this type of quality time.

Brad: It's really sad when you think about it.

If you're in a business meeting, an important business meeting, and a text goes off or your

phone starts to ring, if you and I are here, Jim, and we're having a meeting, I'm not

going to pop up my cellphone and say, "Hey, sorry, Jim.

We're talking about really important stuff here.

Let me take this."

Jim: Yeah.

Brad: And we do it with our kids.

Jim: Exactly.

Brad: That's a much more important relationship, no offense.

We'll sit there and do it with our kids and it's just I think it's huge just the

whole framework.

Well, we just hit one and two, so we might as well go into three with the focused reflection

and letting them pick the activity and then I want to come back as how the listeners can

actually make sure they actually take this and run with it.

Jim: Sure.

So, yeah, this is the peanut butter and jelly, one-on-one, once a quarter, four hours uninterrupted

at least and one-on-one without electronics, fun activity of their choice with focused

reflection.

Again, that is the shortest definition of experiential education and I won't go into

it today, but it is the most powerful form of education with the best results and it's

the most fun.

And now you're just using it to strengthen the relationship with your son or your daughter.

And people say, "Can we use this board meeting strategy with our spouse?"

Yes.

We won't get into that today, Brad, but as you know I do, without a doubt, weekly

date night with my wife and that is one of the most important things in our marriages.

It's one of my firmest commitments.

No, I'm not available.

Now, this is important.

But getting back to fun activity with focused reflection with your child, if you let them

choose the activity, we always think we know what they want and then, I'm sorry, we're

going to lean toward something we kind of want.

Something I said at Advisors Excel, look, if you guys really like to choose and your

son or daughter, they kind of do, they're not really into them but then you drag them

off into a Chiefs game for four hours in the cold, they're not really that into it and

you're saying, "Isn't it great?

We bonded."

I'm not saying that's a bad thing but if you really want connection and ownership

and vying especially from teens, you let them choose the activity.

Now you're going to get a better feel of their creativity.

You're going to get a better feel of what they're really interested in.

They're going to get a feel, it's a test to say, "Okay.

Will they actually do something I really want to do?

And they might have no interest in."

So, with my kids, it's been really cool over the last six years to see the things that

they come up with that they create.

It gives ownership.

They get so excited to plan it out and to put it together.

And all it is is creating that time.

They plan it and then the fun activity with focused reflection.

And all that means is what experiential education is you put students in direct inspiring experiences

and then you save time at the end to have focused reflections where you ask certain

questions that help clarify values and instill the lessons and concrete reapplications moving

forward.

That's kind of the geeky definition.

Jim: So, all you're doing is having this fun together that they plan, maybe sharing

a meal and at the end having some time to talk.

And what happens when you've taken four hours to do this without a phone one-on-one,

you've created something called decompression where you've actually started to decompress.

They've started to lower their guard.

Because most of us entrepreneurs are like this whether we realize it or not, we are.

Both of our guards have been lowered and by having this fun together, it decompresses

us, it opens up the lines of communication.

And the focused reflection just starts by saying, what did you enjoy about today and

why.

And it might last for three minutes the first time you do it but that simple question has

opened up so many doors for parents to talk about subjects are like, "I can't believe

my teen talked to me.

I can't believe my young child had the awareness to bring this up."

It's just so important.

So, that is the absolute glue, using experiential education, fun activity with focused reflection.

You can go, "Focused reflection, I'm not a psychologist.

I don't know what the hell that means."

Look, all it means is me vulnerable and asked the question, "What did you like about today

and why?"

And I can go into those the five strategies as we talked about or the five tips to really

strengthen this strategy, but you got to be vulnerable.

All of us are like this.

We're big tough guys.

If you want your kid to open up, you got to open up first and that's just how it goes.

So, with using that simple fun activity with focused reflection is going to bring it all

together.

And it's nice.

Every 90 days you know you're having some sort of fun thing that they're choosing.

They look forward to it and reflecting on the last one.

Any day is a magic number to really set something where they can look forward to and they can

reflect on the last one if that makes sense.

Brad: Yeah.

What's been really cool to see happen over the last couple of years and each of my boys

is picking different things and my youngest girl she is getting at the age, she's almost

2 so we're about ready to start that.

It's really cool.

We've created this rhythm, this little family tradition where we'll typically do them

on Saturday morning so start at eight, get down about noon or so and then we'll go

to the same pizza parlor.

It's got this really cool little bar area, not the bar by the way.

I'm not taking my kids to the bar.

Jim: Brad?

Brad: Let me clarify there.

I'm throwing the board meeting off track here.

It's got a bar setting that actually overlooks the guy making the pizza.

So, he's tossing the dough up in the air and my kid just loves that spot.

But I remember you saying the first time that once you created a rhythm of this, your kids

will start to ask you a question that you never really thought they would.

And it's crazy how it comes out.

It was either the first or second one and I think Braun asked me, he said, it was like

one of those, "Dad, what do you think about this question?"

Like one of those like life questions, he's kind of pondering as a seven-year-old and

then we just got into this really cool deep conversation that I'm like, "Wow.

How am I having this with my seven-year-old son?"

But it was because that space had been created, it was just me and him, there was a high level

of trust, fully present and it works like clockwork.

You can't even really describe it until you do it and you get in those rhythms but

it's just that connection with your kids just it goes to a whole another level.

Jim: Yeah.

It really does.

Brad: And it's weird because I'm sure there's science behind it if you got into

all of that but it just works.

Jim: There is.

And honestly, I didn't even realize the science until it started to work and then

people started to bring the science to me.

So, maybe there is some intuition there.

It really was just plugging into some powerful principles and putting them together.

The science is there.

That's been supported.

Now but even better than the science is the results, the feeling, the stories I'm getting

back, it's undeniable at this point.

And like you said, if you would have had a text come through, no way.

"Hey, buddy, I'm going to take this quick 10-minute phone call.

I'll be right back."

No way.

If he had been playing whatever blah, blah game on his phone, no way.

See what I mean?

We're setting the stage for connection and this is true quality time that gets us from

the surface to below the surface and it's fun.

This is not like a painful process.

There are some vulnerable touching moments for all you tough guys out there.

I've got to warn you, there is.

I mean, you're talking to cats in the cradle type stuff but, man, it's some of the most

meaningful stuff.

At the end of every year, Brad, around the holidays, when we do reflections on the year

like highlights of the year, one of the things most proud for me, and again we're just

plugging into principles, is the boys always say, "Ah, the board meeting where we did

this or the board meeting where we went that."

I mean, it is true pillars in our relationship now.

And it has strengthened the family as a whole.

I think that something really important that I want to mention is people go, "Oh well,

if you're just doing this one-on-one, it's not going to cause jealousy for the rest of

the family, and problems?"

The answer is absolutely no.

Because I do it for all of my kids and you got to separate the parts to strengthen the

whole.

And what I found is when they get this one-on-one attention with me, they're not vying for

it and it coming out in unconscious worse behavior ways.

So, it definitely strengthens the family as a whole to separate the parts.

Brad: Yeah.

So, I want to speak to the listeners here for a little bit, to the audience.

This is not that hard to do.

I mean, I've now been to three different dad's retreats and it's interesting and

I am, I mean, I'm the guy that comes back from these retreats.

I've got a notebook full of notes.

I've got all the energy that I'm going to implement every single idea and then I

look back six months later, and I've got a notebook and I'm like, "Ah, I only did

one or two of those."

Well one thing I'm so happy I did that first dad's retreat was I came back, Jim, and

I immediately put board meetings on my calendar.

So, that's something I just want to encourage any of you out there that are listening that

have children and it doesn't matter if they're in college.

I mean, it doesn't matter what age they're at.

Just go out three months.

Doesn't have to be that far.

But go put it, put that big rock on the calendar and just set it there and then as you go back

and tell your child about this, the first time they're in there like "What's this

weird thing dad's or mom's got me doing?"

But going back to actually letting them pick what is the activity we're going to do.

So, for me, a seven and six-year-old it's been a lot laser tag which is fun by the way.

I think I enjoy it more than they do.

But the most recent one was my six-year-old, he's into Pokémon cards now and so we went

to a local little card shop.

He wanted to learn how to play Pokémon.

So, that's an interesting crew we were hanging with but, hey, it was fun.

And we were sitting there engaging.

So, letting them pick is actually what will drive the engagement and then once you do

the first one, Jim, it's like the most addicting thing in the world now.

Jim: Yeah.

It rolls.

It just rolls.

As long as you don't set your schedule and I'm glad you brought that up, Brad, there's

been people again at the dad's retreat who contacting me to their power.

I give them a lot of credit saying, "Look, I read the book.

I get it.

I haven't put it to work.

And I'm kind of ashamed to say that."

I say, "Okay.

Well, first thing, stop being ashamed.

That's not going to do us any good."

You're busy.

You have good intentions.

Let's figure it out."

And it really came down to, "That which we schedule gets done."

So, someone that we both know and I'm not going to say any names of course that we both

know very well, very successful business, we spend time monthly on our private calls

together with our dad stuff, he's like, "I can't get it done."

I said, "Well, that which we schedule gets done.

Do you even handle your own schedule anymore?

You're running a $100 million business.

Do you even schedule your own appointments anymore?"

He said, "No."

And I said, "Okay.

So, here's what we're going to do right now.

We're going to get on with your assistant right now and I want you to have her schedule

it."

And they're going great now.

It literally was just that thing.

It's that little block of saying that which we schedule gets done.

Needing to handle your own schedule now because he is a top-level entrepreneur.

I said, "That's the blockage.

You put it on the calendar," and now he's rolling with it.

It's perfect.

So, that's such a...

Brad: He treats it just like a business meeting, just block it right there on your calendar

just like you would anything else.

Jim: Yeah.

It is for us like it's our most important client key team member and investor in our

business and people would say, "Oh, that sounds really shallow," and I said, "Look,

I'm going to work with how my mind works and my relationship is better.

I see my kids as the most important client by far in my life, and wife," and just saying

that, I've spent better quality time with them.

So, put things on the calendar and they seem to happen more, just like anything.

You have a huge client in your business, I mean financial advisors, let's say there's

someone who is one client is 30% of your book.

Are you not going to set schedule time with them?

Are you going to just say, "Oh we'll figure it out sometime during the year?"

No way.

No way would you kind of put that off.

You're going to give that some focused attention.

That which we schedule gets done.

Brad: And the other thing that comes out of scheduling it out, it's just like a family

vacation that you plan and you look forward to.

I've actually started, I think I got this from Jon Berghoff.

So, my seven and six-year-old, they'll actually write an itinerary.

And at this point, it's essentially, they're just coloring a picture of what they want

the meeting to be.

So, my six-year-old this last one he literally drew a picture of the Pokémon store and he's

like, "Dad, here's what we're doing."

So, it's creating some ownership like he's running the meeting and what I found is they're

now looking forward, we call it like a daddy-Braun or a daddy-Nash meeting.

Jim: Yeah.

Yeah.

Brad: And they're like when's our meeting?

And it just creates this really fun anticipation as you lead up to it.

So, if you don't actually ever schedule them out, you don't get that side of it

either.

Jim: Exactly.

Yeah.

That which we schedule gets done and that it gives them that commitment to start being

creative to plan the day.

And it's vying an ownership.

I mean there are so many times, we invest intention and say, "This is what we're

going to do," and they might be like okay.

But to give them the ownership of saying, "You create it," total game changer.

Brad: Yeah.

So, I haven't shared this yet.

I wanted to share this with you.

John Kane who was at the first dad's retreat and he was at the last one, but he shared

a story just encouraging everybody to incorporate this into their family.

And his child, he's been running with him since the first one as well, his child, the

last one they did, told him, "This is better than Christmas."

Jim: No kidding.

Brad: Which, I mean, as a child I'm thinking back was there ever anything that was better

than Christmas?

Jim: No.

Brad: So, that just shows you the power from the child's perspective of how a big of

an impact these things make.

So, I wanted to share that.

Jim: Yeah.

Now I want to write to John.

That's beautiful to hear.

Yeah, I mean, we'll plug into some deep primal principles here.

It's not the big business they want.

They want you.

And this is going to give it to them on their terms and the consistency that they can depend

on, consistent rhythm.

So, that's awesome.

That's so good to hear.

Brad: All right.

Jim, this has been an awesome conversation as I knew it would be.

Are you ready to flip into what I call some more philosophical questions throughout the

conversation here?

Jim: Uh-oh.

Sure.

Brad: You'll be fine.

Jim: I'm serious.

Brad: When you hear the word successful, who's the first person you think of and why?

Jim: Most people I know, and this is not a judgment call on the Buffets and the Bransons.

I don't know them.

I don't personally know them.

So, I stopped a long time ago naming the successful people that I read about in a featured article

because I don't know the person.

I want to know the person.

So, I only really look up to people that I've known and spent real quality time with.

So, I have a mentor in Australia that helped us with our real estate business, lives in

a small beach town, surfs often, has three sons that I've watched grow up and he's

still close to.

His son just turned 18.

He said, "This teen things where they're supposed to fight you tooth and nail on everything,

I just didn't see it.

I haven't experienced that."

And he was getting with his time, successful.

So, it'd probably be him.

Major support in my life.

When I almost got broke in 2008 I was heavily invested in real estate in California, in

Florida during that fun meltdown that we went through and he was there for me like nothing.

So, that would be my friend Craig in Australia.

He won't probably be showing up in any featured articles but he's a big feature in my life

for sure.

So, it would be him because of what he created not only at home but in business, the two

went together well.

Brad: If there was one quality about him that just put a bump, nothing else, what would

it be?

Jim: I think he has his value straight at least in my opinion.

And so, he enjoys nice things and getting nice experiences, but he doesn't have to

show off the best of the best.

So, one thing he said, he said, "I don't need to wear the fanciest suit somewhere,

but I like to be able to walk into a nice restaurant and order an expensive roll of

sushi and not worry that I can't afford it."

So, little philosophies like that I just think he has his values straight.

Brad: Cool.

All right.

What's the favorite book you've ever read and why?

Or as you're thinking, as the wheels are turning, what's a book you've repeatedly

gifted over the years?

Jim: Good questions.

Being a fire red entrepreneur like, okay, well I can break into seven different books.

But if I had to pick, Man's Search for Meaning is one of my absolute favorites, Viktor Frankl.

I just think he stems so much of positive growth and personal development for us that

it's easy to track it back to him.

So, Man's Search for Meaning was a real good one.

Gifted, I've gifted the book, The Richest Man in Babylon, quite a bit.

I work with young kids' education and stuff and team education.

I just think that book is so important and so principally aligns with financial intelligence

in certain values that it really can open up a part of the kids' brains that most

school doesn't.

So, that's one that I really like as well, and I've gifted quite a bit.

Brad: I don't want to take the conversation way off track here, but I think it's worth

noting and honoring you for all of the work.

Obviously, the Family Board Meeting is massive by itself but you're also - you have this

whole other life on the educational front we've had a lot of conversations on.

And, The Richest Man in Babylon, there's a piece of that where it talks about giving

a percentage back to yourself and investing in yourself.

And, I think that's huge for the route that you're going down the educational front

of self-improvement.

So, I'm guessing that has something to do with that as well.

Jim: Yeah.

I mean, I just think if our kids today could get personal development relationship skills

and financial intelligence, those can be a foundation to build them in a direction of

wherever they want to go.

If they don't have those three skills, they're likely going to struggle.

It doesn't matter if they become the most successful doctor.

If they're uncomfortable in their own skin, their relationships are in the toilet, they

don't know how to handle the money, they're going to struggle.

But in other cases, if they're a starving artist, a starving artist doesn't have to

be starving.

An artist who wants to do art if you have an artistic job, they get a good base in financial

intelligence, they have strong personal development in their relationship skills, I think that

they don't have to be starving artists at all.

Just to give two examples.

Not to get too far off track.

As you know, I could start to talk on this for hours but...

Brad: Well it's interesting and it's worked kind of with what everything we've talked

about, about family and how your children and your spouse are the most important relationships

in your life.

We had a conversation out the dad's retreat and I think this is an interesting exercise.

If anybody wants extra credit for this conversation, we really did some deep searching and we journaled

the five lowest points in our life.

Then we went into which, you know, it can get into some pretty heavy stuff.

And then we talked about, "Hey if we could, would you choose to have your children avoid

moments like those?"

Yes.

Unfortunately, it's life and things like that happen to everybody.

And what I love about your education and the way you approached it was it was a toolset

to allow your children to deal with tough situations.

You told the story about suicide.

I mean, I can't even imagine any parent having to deal with that and you went into,

"Hey, here's a toolset that our educational system does not prepare," and you've spent

a lot of time there so maybe that's for another conversation, but I think it's amazing

the work you're doing on that front as well.

Jim: Thank you.

Thank you.

Well, I think I know again especially in this time of year wanting to get together with

family saying, "How do I really make the most of it?"

If people just put this simple board meeting strategy into work or some of the principles,

I mean, to follow it, the exact strategy is great.

To take the principles and apply them somewhere, you're going to see some results and that's

all we want to see happen.

There's no reason that a successful entrepreneur has to be a stranger at home.

There's no reason that you have to give up the ambition and to keep connection at

home.

You can keep your ambition, but you can strengthen your success at home and there's no reason

you can't.

And this strategy has been such a starting point for so many people.

Again, don't read another parent.

And this is not to promote me or my book.

But here's what I found.

Everyone's choking on content and starving for execution.

Stop watching that extra video.

Stop watching that extra article or read that extra article that you think, "God, that

made a lot of sense," but then you never even put it into practice.

You probably have enough information that you've already learned or even from this

podcast.

Start to execute.

No more content.

Stop chewing on the content.

Digest it, execute.

That's where the real results are going to happen.

Brad: 100%.

I mean, you could be a brand-new parent and not have read one parenting book and just

spend four hours there and present with your child and it makes all the difference in the

world.

Jim: You're now an expert more than some of the parenting experts I've met.

Because sometimes behind the curtain you want to eat your own cooking.

That's all I want to encourage of everyone.

So, don't put anyone on a pedestal and don't beat yourself down.

Especially a lot of the financial advisors out there, Brad, are probably listening going,

"I've missed the boat.

I've the missed the boat."

No, you haven't.

These things can start to work retroactive like start them now, don't beat yourself

up.

What's happened, happened.

You can still harness the power of quality time even if they're 18, 20, 25.

I've seen that happen as well.

But no use in beating yourself up.

Pat yourself on the back.

You're doing the best you could.

Try to make something happen now.

Brad: Yeah.

Time for two more questions?

Jim: Sure.

Yeah.

Brad: Okay.

I have to hear your answer on this one.

This one will be intriguing.

So, Jim, if there was something that you would like to be considered absurd 25 years from

now, so we go out 25 years from now and that's absolutely absurd that that ever happened,

what would that be?

Jim: This is funny because mutual friend through MMT actually put this on Facebook.

Brad: That's where I got it from.

Jim: Cameron Herold.

Brad: Yeah.

I started using that after he posted it.

Yeah.

Jim: It was a great question.

So, and I didn't even think, and he'll write something little to me and I'll write

it back and without even thinking the way that you word it, what is something that you

would like to see considered absurd in 25 years, right?

That's the question.

And I simply just wrote in that thread, "The traditional education system."

And I went about my day and checked, got on Facebook that night and I think there were

like 40 something likes of my little comment.

That was just one little thing in the thread and people writing to me like, "That was

so profound to say that," and I don't know if it's profound.

It's just something that I care about and I just think that a lot of our education system

is so outdated that it doesn't help our kids harness their gifts and it doesn't

prepare them for the practical affairs of life.

And I'm not okay with that.

So, for me, it would be the traditional education system.

There's a better way.

I'm just so convinced to that.

Brad: Do you want to take a minute or two and unpack that a little bit?

We don't have to go clear down the path but, I mean, do you want to dig into that

a little bit, why and why you feel that way?

Jim: Well, I think going back to I got really clear again interviewing so many successful

entrepreneurs, we all go through tough times and let's start with the toughest times.

School at its best, and this isn't a Napoleon Hill line, it's supposed to prepare us for

the practical affairs of life.

And then from others I've heard, it's supposed to help us harness our gifts, discover

our gifts.

I haven't seen that necessarily happening.

And what I found is for me, for my children from interviewing tons of successful people

who are successful in business and what I consider successful in their personal life,

there are certain lessons and subjects that have made 90% of the difference that helped

support me in the worst times of my life, accelerate me in the best, and my worst times

wouldn't have been as bad if I had more knowledge in those subjects.

And it's something that certain subject at school, all right, there's less than

a 10% chance you're going to actually use them in the real world.

These 90 plus percent chance, no matter what career you go into, you're going to use.

And for my children now after basic reading, writing, and math, I need to make room for

what I consider core curriculum because most of the times it's not even done as enhancement

curriculum and we got to put that which is priority and priority.

So, for me, not only the way we teach it which I can't get into today because it takes

too long, the delivery of education has been shown to be one of the worse ways that we

do it.

I mean, it's like almost like just someone started doing a funky dance and we all just

followed it and we didn't know any other dance to make up.

And it's almost like the Elaine from Seinfeld and we're all just following that delivery

of education that's been proven to be awful.

But the content, the subject matter and I just feel now from talking with thousands

now of successful entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, people that have I think gone deep

into something that they really have a gift for and share professionally but their home

life or their personal life as well, it's the people who are able to develop their own

personal development, relationships skills, and financial intelligence, those three skills

will support so many different genres of life.

Jim: But I don't ever remember having a class that directly hit on those in school.

But when I go to events like I met you at, Brad, that I pay good money to go to for some

of the top thought leaders in the world, those three subjects constantly and I have a breakdown

of financial intelligence includes marketing, it includes understanding in ROI, includes

healthy risk-taking, it includes service and contribution and giving back.

There are different sub-titles in each one of those but if you really start to think

about it, the toughest times in your life, the biggest triumphs you've had in your

life, we all have a one specialized skill.

Brad, I couldn't do the things you do on a financial side.

I don't understand it.

I don't think you can do the volume of stuff I've done on the real estate side.

But that was kind of our one specialized skill.

We've gone deep into it and that one specialized skill we now leverage into doing podcast like

this, doing retreats and writing books on something that we care about.

But we got really good at one specialized skill and then we leverage off of it.

But besides that one specialized skill, three things always surround it, always, financial

intelligence, your own personal development, and relationships skills, personally and professionally.

Everyone always just focus on the one specialized skill like I gave that doctor example.

I've met lots of doctors who are broken, happy and uncomfortable in their own skin.

I met lots of financial advisors who they're running big books through their things, they're

making their clients a lot of money but they're blowing their money.

They're very unsure of themselves.

They have lots of issues within themselves they're not willing to deal with and they're

divorced and happy and they're separated from all their friends.

So, they might be showing in the top 10 rankings of the top financial advisor but is that really

success?

And I know everyone would honestly say no.

So, we say how do we combat that?

Our kids are ready to get those lessons by the age of eight or nine.

Absolutely without a doubt.

Why do they have to wait until they're 28 to figure out, "I don't know my own self.

I don't know my own personal development value," and you got to fall backward into

a Tony Robbins seminar.

Jim: And that's not to beat up on Tony Robbins.

I think his material is great but why do we have to wait to fall backward on such an important

subject?

Why wasn't it given priority at school?

So, my whole thing is we need to be able to put priority of a protocol and saying no to

things that don't work for our kids.

My loyalty when it comes to education is to my children and never to what is being insisted

on being the priority if that made sense.

So, I'll just end with I think that, Brad, you saying, "I want to get in front and

involved with my kids' education.

I don't know how.

I'm not satisfied with what the school is teaching."

I agree with you.

I don't think it's preparing for the practical affairs of life.

Don't stress.

And I'm not saying you have to pull your kids out of school and start homeschooling

them.

That's not what I'm saying.

What I'm saying is get involved and if you can just start to drip lessons in personal

development, relationship skills, and financial intelligence at a young age and I've seen

this now from the last 10 years of work that I've done, the child at the age of 18 leaves

the house with the foundation in those three subjects compare it to the child who does

not have any even awareness of those subjects or has done almost nothing in them, Brad,

you're talking about the difference of someone who invested in Enron in 2002 or Apple in

2003.

I mean, you're talking a major difference.

So anyway, I digress.

But you know I get really excited about this.

This is like my geeky passion.

Some guys build cars in their garage.

I build like education models and not math stuff.

Anyway...

Brad: I'm glad you went there.

It's interesting.

I think a lot, obviously being a podcast for financial advisors, personal development is

huge in our industry because I think anything that starts as a sales type of role and sales

lead you down the path of personal development which is why I read How to Win Friends and

Influence People the first time and on down that path, The Richest Man in Babylon, and,

man, like a didn't get exposed to that until I was like 26 or 27.

Imagine if I would've been exposed to that at a younger age.

Jim: That's my whole schtick.

Let's get it to them at a younger age and let them know.

I made my kids aware, "Hey, schools important but I don't care about grades.

I care about learning."

And these subjects, I have to be honest with you, are most important because there's

a 90% chance you're going to use them.

That's what I've just chosen to tell my kids and it seemed to be beneficial.

Brad: Yeah.

All right, buddy.

Last question.

You've crushed these.

This has been easy for you.

Jim: I don't know about that.

Brad: What is the one piece of advice you can share with the audience that's led to

your success?

Jim: I think I have the ability to build trust and that would be it.

Yeah.

Man, I've actually asked that question.

It was a powerful question and I said, "It was a challenge to me.

I'm trying to remember who it was.

IT might have been Jeff Hoffman of Priceline.com who said, "Go back to your closest friends

and then say, 'Why are you my friend or why you work with me?'"

And the word trust keeps coming up.

"So, you have a really good ability to build trust with me and my kids or you have really

good ability to build trust with me and do that real estate deal with you.

And you stayed in contact."

And so, that word trust came up, so I know trust is a very powerful principle.

So, I think I have a good ability to build trust and be trustworthy and that's been

a major part of my success.

Brad: I agree.

Number one, I think that's a massive part of who you are.

Just for the audience, just to dig in there, is there any one thing you do or anything

behind how you think you establish trust is off the top of your head?

Anything that comes to mind?

Because I think a lot of people struggle with it, so I think you might be able to help there.

Jim: I mean, I'll put honesty and trust ahead of profit and sometimes that might seem

expensive like in 2008 we were going belly up and we were losing over $1 million a month

and it was an awful time, but I made the conscious decision at that point.

We have a lot of family and friends' money, a couple of million dollars tied up in real

estate deals.

I made the conscious decision that I would take certain lumps on the head and protect

my investors through this downturn.

And I did.

And I probably wouldn't have the strength to do it if I didn't have other people's

money involved and watching out for the clients like that and having to get them through,

built my reputation as someone that stood by and didn't just walk out when the fire

got hot.

So, I think that there have been times that I've had to sacrifice "profit" and it's always

come back to produce more profit if that makes sense.

So, and I know you and I have had conversations on that.

I could sell crack houses in Jacksonville, Florida.

You're not going to catch me doing it.

Won't do it.

Yeah.

There's a model and I've seen it blow up and people get hurt.

I know there are products out there that you're like, "Jim, I wouldn't touch those with a

10-foot pole," because it's going to align you, but your clients are going to be hurt

in four or five years and we know this.

And I think I was willing to take a slower approach and sacrifice profit upfront sometimes

or temporarily to continue to build trust and reputation that came back in bigger ways.

Brad: Yeah.

Thanks for sharing that.

Jim: Yeah.

So, well good.

Brad: Jim, I'm honored, buddy.

Jim: Wow.

You too.

Brad: It's been, well number one, the impact you've already made on my family just the

last couple of years, it's real.

It's changed my life.

It's changed my kids' lives.

I mean I see my wife and she's like this like mysterious little board meeting like,

"Brad, what did you come back with from this conference this time?"

But now she sees it and she's the biggest fan.

So, I just want to say thank you and if this conversation I'm hoping that it can start

a compound effect in the financial services industry where more of you out there listening

will take this and run with it because I promise you, it will make a massive impact.

It will matter.

So, Jim, thank you for spending the time with us here today.

Jim: You're welcome, Brad.

Thanks, and enjoy the rest of the year and the holidays, please.

Brad: All right, buddy.

Take care.

Jim: Yeah.

Bye.

How To Become Successful On Youtube – Honest Youtube Success Tips - Motivational Video - Duration: 6:17.

Imagine there are two restaurants.

In one of them the interior design is very good, service is also very fast.

But the taste of food of this restaurant is very poor.

On the other side the second restaurant does not have great interior design, service is

also slow there but the taste of the food here is so great that there is no other restaurant

in your locality which can provides that much tasty food.

The price of the food of these two restaurants is also same.

So in which restaurant you want to eat?

Obviously in that restaurant which provides tasty food.

Like this, imagine there are two YouTube channels.

In one of the channels everything is good, but the content of the videos is very poor.

That means the content is neither interesting nor funny.

Even it doesn't help us in anything in our life.

On the other side, the editing, camera quality of the 2nd channel is not very good, but the

content of the videos is highly valuable.

Now what is the meaning of valuable content?

A valuable content is that, which provide some real values in your life, it may be about

something that can provide knowledge or comedy or music or about anything else.

It means, when you are sad it makes you happy, when you are in a problem it brings a solution

to that problem or at least when you are bored, it removes your boredom.

So in these two channels which one will you prefer and will watch their videos regularly?

Obviously of that channel which provides better content.

So as the taste of the food is the most important thing in a restaurant, the content of the

videos is also the most important thing for a youtube channel in the same way.

You may ask any successful YouTuber, everyone will tell you this.

Because, it is the truth.

Those who have overcome the struggling period in YouTube do know that the growth of the

channel did happen from when the content of their videos started to become great.

So smart idea 1: first focus on your content Now imagine that there is a body building

competition in which you want to come first.

And you have never been to gym and have not done any kind of exercises before.

So what you need to do first if you want to fulfill your this wish?

You have to join a gym, and have to be consistent to the gym.

That means, it is not that you will go back to back 2 days, then you will vanish for 7

days.

If you do this, neither your muscles will grow nor will you be allowed to take part

in that competition.

The same is also applicable for YouTube.

In every minute, videos of 300 hours get uploaded on YouTube.

Now if you want to learn swimming in this big ocean what will you need most?

Patience with consistency.

You will not become a bodybuilder after going to a gym for just one day.

Likewise your channel will not become successful after uploading just 1 video.

Just as you have never been to the gym before, likewise you have not made any videos before.

So as, if you become consistent in going to the gym your muscles will develop.

Likewise your video making skill will develop if you stay consistent on YouTube.

So as after being consistent to the gym, you will be able to take part in a bodybuilding

competition.

Likewise if you stay consistent on YouTube, your YouTube channel will one day make its

own space on YouTube.

You just have to stay consistent till the time that needed for growing up the muscles.

The rest will be handled by YouTube.

You don�t need to worry about it.

Now we everyone know this.

But why can't we stay consistent?

To me, the big reason of this is expectation.

You did upload videos daily for 1 month.

Views didn't come.

And then you quit.

So what is this?

Will you be able to make body like Hritik Roshan after going to gym just for 1 month?

But if you want to take part in that competition, don't you have to make body like hritik roshan?

If you want to have as many viewers as your favorite youtuber has then you will have to

post as many videos as your favorite youtuber have posted for the same time span.

After that you may expect that you will get thousands or millions of views.

You can see any YouTube channel, you may not find any one channel which has uploaded videos

daily for last 2 or 3 years but still have not crossed 100k subscribers.

If you find any channel like that, then the main reason is that the content of their videos

is not up to the mark.

So, smart idea 2: consistency is the key If a customer comes to your restaurant, you

obviously want that this customer will come to your restaurant again, and if possible

he will also bring some of his friends with him.

So for this the first important thing is that the food has to be great.

Next thing is how you will treat with him.

So if the customer gets a gentle behavior from you, he will feel more comfortable.

And the possibility of his coming to the restaurant next time with his friends will increase.

And if you do opposite to this, that means if you behave rudely, or you give bad service

then next time he will definitely not come and moreover he will also suggest his friends

not to come.

Likewise, if you give replies to the comments made by the viewers in your videos and make

them happy, then the chances will increase that they will also share your videos with

their friends.

And more shares results in quick growth.

So always respect your viewers.

Because, without them, your channel is worth nothing.

So smart idea 3: build up community Without these, there are also many things

which are essential to become successful on YouTube.

Those are titles, thumbnails, description, collaboration, marketing etc.

But I think these 3 c's- content, consistency and community, are the most important things

among them.

So if I represent these things according to their importance in a pi chart, then it will

look like this - 50% for content, 25% for consistency, 15% for community and 10% for

the remaining things.

You must remember - "patience is always the key to success."

At last if you like this video, then please share it with your youtuber friends who are

also struggling to create some own space on YouTube.

And please let us know by commenting below on which topic you would love to watch the

next video, because our main aim is to help you.

BREAKING: ICE Agents Issue Horrifying Announcement, Please Pray - Duration: 3:30.

Conservatives have warned for years that political correctness denies reality, and therefore

can get people hurt or killed.

In Philadelphia, an example of such thinking has come to light when it was reported that

ICE agents were encouraged not to wear bulletproof vests while operation in the city.

The reason for this decision had to do with not "offending" the Philadelphia illegal

immigrant community.

This news is part of a broader backlash against President Trump, which is coming from the

top echelon of ICE.

"ICE Officers grudgingly admit that the only President they ever endorsed hasn't

kept his word, and many officers now feel betrayed," claims the Washington Times.

A big reason for this backlash has to do with the fact that the Trump administration has

kept certain Obama-era officials in place in ICE.

National ICE Council President Chris Crane recently sent President Trump an open letter

demanding that the president remove Obama-era officials from the force.

If President Trump does not do this, then ICE operatives will continue to feel "stabbed

in the back" by the administration.

"While officers view the President's position on enforcement as courageous, the Trump administration

has left all of the Obama managers and leadership in place, a group that ICE Officers know after

the last eight years to be completely incompetent, corrupt and anti-enforcement," Crane wrote.

Crane's letter further exposes the fact that the Trump administration has so far failed

to deliver on its promises.

"While President Trump did create an uptick in morale at ICE through his support of enforcement

operations, tensions are on the rise between Trump's army of Obama holdovers and boots

on the ground officers in the field, as behind the scenes Obama holdovers continue to undermine

law enforcement operations and wage war against their own law enforcement officers."

This is an explosive accusations because, under President Obama, eighty-percent of all

illegal immigrants were officially made "off-limits" for deportation.

Unless this is reversed, America's problem with illegal immigration will only get worse

and millions of American voters will turn against President Trump.

President Trump has apparently heard President Crane's warnings loud and clear, for he

recently nominated Thomas Homan to head ICE indefinitely.

Homan has been at the forefront of ICE's year-long crackdown on the mostly illegal

alien gang MS-13.

Homan's credentials as a hawk on immigration enforcement earned him the wrath of the Washington

Post, which wrote a scathing article about how Homan takes pride in deporting people.

With Homan, it seems that the Trump administration does not have to worry about the very top

of ICE.

However, Crane's message says that on the state level and in the middling ranks of ICE,

Obama holdovers still dominate.

This means that the Trump administration's push to enforce America's immigration laws

is being undermined from within.

Crane believes that this policy cannot stand, and that President Trump must gut all Obama-era

men and women from the agency.

While this plan would win Trump a lot of support from his base, a full purging of ICE could

be complicated by Congress and the "deep state," which sees it as its mission to

dismantle Trump from within the government.

How Wrathion Could've Been Relevant | World of Warcraft Discussion - Duration: 11:19.

[BlizzCon 2015] Where is Wrathion in Legion?

He's definitely there

So I think he's thanks -- still in Pandaria right?

Well actually,

He may have some interest in the zone of Highmountain, which of course features Neltharion's Lair.

And that is a person of some interest

to Wrathion. So if he were to be lurking, that might be a good place to look for him.

[BlizzCon 2016] For those of you that played beta

Wrathion was around. We tried to get him into Highmountain in one of the quest lines and

More, so he doesn't fall off -- not that he was integral to the narrative. And we actually ran into a lot of problems with it

There's there was just time issues -- timetable issues that we just really couldn't get to work.

So you have things like Wrathion, who... we had no idea

where his arc would go and

it's just about who gets geeked up about the character or the

Whatever it might be and of the story and where they want to take it so that started out Badlands

And then the next thing you know it's all over the place, and it's awesome, and it's something we want to do more of so

[FinalBossTV 2017] We talked about plans for him for various other things

But right now nothing's really planned for Battle for Azeroth.

Next time I will leave nothing to chance!

NOTHING!!!

What is up everyone!

I hope everyone enjoyed BlizzCon last weekend and are as hyped as I am for some of the announcements made there

As much as I can go on about my thoughts and opinions for Battle for Azeroth

I want to focus on something that was not talked about during BlizzCon much to my dismay

and that is the Black Prince Wrathion himself

Quick warning that I will be freely talking about spoilers here

so if you want to avoid them this video might not be for you.

Ah, Wrathion, one of Blizzard's most complex characters with a fascinating origin story

and an excellently written morally grey character

He's one of the only purified black dragons out there and was a key character during Mists of Pandaria

He made it a point countless times that the Burning Legion was coming and his presence in that expansion could hardly go unnoticed

Hype built around him for so long and Wrathion was even a key player

in setting off the events that led to Warlords of Draenor. And since then,

Blizzard has pretty much dropped him out of the lore

Every year so far since his disappearance I've wondered

Why exactly they haven't put him back in?

Blizzard can come up with the excuse that they don't know where to take him as much as they want

But I won't buy it for a second. The last two expansions and now coming up third have had plenty of

opportunities for him to show up and partake in a role of some kind

And no, I'm not going to count the Warlord's cameo or the deaths of Chromie cameo as Wrathion content.

That is not good enough :(

See, for Warlords, Wrathion could have returned in any number of ways. An easter egg quest where maybe

Anduin enlists you to hunt down the black dragon through Draenor and bring him to justice

I say Anduin since they were friends throughout Mists, and Wrathion betrayed him during Hellscream's Trials

It could have entailed a quest line that could delve deeper into Anduin's character arc if say he were to

Sneak into Draenor with the player and then realized a true fear of war

Maybe even draw parallels between the first war that his own father witnessed as a child

This would give opportunity for Wrathion confront his actions, discuss whether or not this was a mistake

or fully intentional and what he plans to do next now that the Iron Horde is wreaking havoc upon Azeroth

or

Khadgar could have found him or Wrathion could have appeared at the end of any of the Warlord's raids and opened up a questline

where he enlists help from the players to find some artifacts or something to continue the quest to save Azeroth.

There were plenty of opportunities that could have been squeezed in somehow

Hell, even just two quests where he explains himself that it ends with him

Saying he needs to go into hiding again or something would have been better than

Whatever content this was

Also while I'm on the Warlords subject

I do want to note that during the Legion alpha when Wrathion was originally in it

He said that he wanted to create an army of orcs during Warlords, but it went awry with Hellscream

But technically, the orcs of Draenor kind of are allied with us after the end of Warlords.

Yrel said to herself that they'd be there if we needed them,

but it seems Blizzard wants to erase all evidence that they had of Warlords of Draenor even existing, so...

There's that

"If you ever need us,

We will be here."

"Until we meet again."

And I would have been able to forgive not having Wrathion in Warlords if it weren't for his absence AND

replacement in Legion. Legion was the one expansion that Wrathion absolutely should have been a part of.

Instead characters like Khadgar, Illidan, and Magni got the attention that should have in all respects gone to Wrathion

Spiritwalker Ebonhorn was originally going to be Wrathion but was cut and made into a separate character.

Doing this not only ousted Wrathion from a significant role in Legion

But also made him a little less special by saying Ebonhorn was ALSO a purified black dragon

Technically Wrathion should have at least been able to sense Ebonhorn

since it's said that Wrathion can sense the existence of other black dragons

Which is how he had them killed. If Wrathion wasn't going to be Ebonhorn,

They could have at least had him pay a visit to Highmountain to search for Ebonhorn

And maybe attempt to kill him and fail

The potential dynamic between him and Ebonhorn would have also provided some solid character development for the both of them

How would Wrathion feel to know that he's not alone and that he's not the only black dragon free from the Old Gods' corruption as well?

Would he maybe regret killing the other black dragons if he learned that he could have saved them instead with the Hammer Khaz'goroth?

And then there's the matter of Anduin now newly crowned king. Again,

there's some unresolved history between them and technically since Wrathion's betrayal led to Warlords,

which in turn led to the Legion to happen,

Wrathion is indirectly responsible even for Varian's death.

A lot of ground could have been covered if they were to reunite

Wrathion's crimes have gone unanswered for thus far and in my opinion, it should be Anduin to make some answer for it

unfortunately

All of these opportunities have been missed thus far

And it seems that Blizzard is about to try and miss yet another brilliant opportunity

We talked about plans for [Wrathion] for various other things

but right now nothing's really planned for Battle for Azeroth

It's bad enough that there are dozens of unresolved storylines that WoW has yet to touch on

but the one thing I've been counting on for years is Wrathion's return.

And I just don't want to go on another year of that

So here's an idea for how Wrathion could fit into Battle for Azeroth

First off,

I sincerely hope that we get a mention at the very least of Wrathion in the upcoming novel Before the Storm

by Christie Golden

That would be a perfect opportunity to reintroduce him to the storyline and I have a sneaking suspicion

Or at least wishful thinking that we might see him in it.

According to Ian Bates (or the redshirt guy)

Wrathion is currently in the Battle for Azeroth alpha - at least upon making this video

He can be found in a corner in a new spot in Stormwind known as the Alliance Embassy.

All other alliance leaders are present in that room as well as Wrathion. It's assumed

He's joined the Alliance since he isn't present in the Horde Embassy

And unless this is just a nifty easter egg that will get removed from the alpha just like he did the last time, I think

This is reason enough to suspect that he could at least get a passing mention of his existence in the book. Hopefully.

With the Allied races coming the Horde will be aided by the Highmountain Tauren which would also mean that Spiritwalker Ebonhorn would

most undoubtedly be among them. In this case, the playing field is even as both Horde and Alliance will each then have a

purified black dragon in their arsenal.

Wrathion could play a role as the Spy Master or work alongside the SI:7

and lead incognito missions. His ability to assume different illusions would help him immensely in sneaking

and spying on others, especially that of the Horde if need be.

After all, Wrathion has spent a majority of his time surrounded by rogues, so I'm sure he's learned a thing or two from them

He could also serve as Anduin's personal bodyguard and interact with the other rogues like Valeera and maybe even Tess Greymane

There could also be the opportunity to demonstrate conflicts of interest

Wrathion has made it known that his allegiances are his own and even though he last sided with the Alliance back in Mists

after Garrosh spiraled down, he could always just turn back depending on who's winning

What?

Yes, I was backing the Alliance.

I thought Hellscream's victory was assured before he turned half of his Horde against him.

So I changed my allegiance.

Oh don't look so surprised. I'm a black dragon, my loyalties are my own

but that idiot, IDIOT Wrynn. High King indeed!

Why did he allow another Warchief? He could have united the world under the Alliance banner.

What a fool I was to trust his ambition!

He simply wishes to see one faction prevail over the other rather than see balance between them

If he's close enough to the High King of the Alliance he could even attempt to manipulate the other leaders subtly by feeding

ideas to them.

For example: sowing more rage within King Greymane

Since his anger tends to get the best of him. If he can push others to make the decisions

they need to win the war, Wrathion would succeed

Outside of that, Wrathion would most certainly have interest in the Azerite spilling out. Sargeras wounded Azeroth,

and that gash in silithus can't just go ignored. Wrathion wants to protect Azeroth. He's a black dragon

He can hear the calls of the earth

Realizing such a horrible thing had happened to this world would hurt him and there's enough potential and that alone for him to make any

rash decision based off of it

All I'm saying is that there is potential

And I just don't see why Wrathion can't be squeezed into the lore. There's enough openings, enough to work with, enough opportunities

And yet they just keep getting dismissed or fulfilled with different characters. Like -- Hey listen,

I think it's pretty cool that Magni Bronzebeard gets to be the voice of Azeroth, but - but how about there's two of them hmm?

Wrathion's a black dragon

He should be able to hear Azeroth's call. Actually you know what?

Maybe that can be an excuse as to why Wrathion hasn't been around. Azeroth's been talking to him at the same time as Magni and

Wrathion has been running around the world trying to gather resources

and intel and how to better fight the war, all the while not being seen. Hence

why in the future we'll see him taking an interest in the Obsidian Dragonshrine in Northrend.

Come on! There's gotta be something he can do!

Well, what are your thoughts on Wrathion? What would you like to see him doing in the next expansion? Anything I miss here

you'd like to point out, or do you just not care about Wrathion in general? Let me know in the comments!

Thank you all for watching

And thank you so much for those who have been very patient with my absence for the past few months on YouTube

I'll be sure to pick up my slack in the next coming few months

Thank you for your patience. Shoutout to wowelite, Party of Three and Kimberly Anne for supporting me on Patreon as well

I appreciate it immensely.

Thank you for watching, and I'll see you all in the next one! ♥

My Father's Legacy - Duration: 1:02.

I thought of my own life

and the enormity of the challenge growing up without a father

having witnessed the violence that occurred in my life

and this idea that I was able to justify it somehow by saying

he died for others, for civil rights

he was taken away from us, but he gave a gift to our country

now I can't find comfort in that

the civil rights movement

it's being rolled back

in this city, in this state, and in our country

and I can't be robbed of the only comfort I had

and I'm going to fight everybody, whether it's the mayor, the governor, or the president of the United States.

until they restore the great movement that gave me hope and faith as a child
